SAC 99 McConnell OH Barrier Repair (EA 03-2N040)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 3 – Marysville/Sacramento, is advancing an emergency repair project on State Route 99 in Sacramento County at Post Mile 8.77 near Elk Grove, titled SAC 99 McConnell OH Barrier Repair (EA 03-2N040). The scope includes mobilization, regrading soil slopes to eliminate stormwater ponding, placing aggregate base, installing an asphalt cement dike and joint seals, repairing the bridge barrier, and implementing traffic control measures, all within Caltrans right-of-way without requiring material borrow or disposal. The project is classified as an Emergency Force Account, enabling expedited execution without a formal solicitation or competitive bidding process, and is designed to restore structural integrity to the barrier and redirect runoff away from adjacent Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Environmental compliance has been formally addressed through a categorical exemption under CEQA Class 1(d) and NEPA 23 CFR 771.117(c)(1) and (d)(1), with approvals signed by Lisa Machado and Anthony Thurman on December 10, 2025, and the project posted for awareness on December 15, 2025. A critical procedural requirement mandates written permission from Union Pacific Railroad prior to any on-site work due to proximity to active rail lines. No formal contract clauses, pricing, or financial details are included, reflecting the emergency and non-competitive nature of the action. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site at the project location, with responsibility resting solely with Caltrans personnel, including Project Manager Anthony Thurman and Senior Environmental Planner Lisa Machado as key oversight figures. Jason Ammerman serves as the primary point of contact for environmental coordination. There is no mention of contract value, payment methods, invoicing systems, or contractor identification, as the work is administered internally under Caltrans’ emergency authority. Documentation is streamlined, relying on internal environmental certifications and procedural exemptions rather than standard federal acquisition regulations (FAR/DFAR) clauses, subcontracting requirements, or socioeconomic certifications. All activities are confined to the designated location, with no additional performance periods, delivery terms, or packaging requirements outlined, underscoring the focused, immediate nature of the repair effort.
