Salado Creek Class I Trail Phase II Project

The City of Patterson is undertaking the Salado Creek Class I Trail Phase II Project, a public works initiative to develop a continuous bike and pedestrian trail along Salado Creek and American Eagle Avenue from Cliff Swallow Drive to the southern city limits near Sweet Briar Drive. The scope includes removing and replacing four curb ramps, widening approximately 145 linear feet of sidewalk, grinding and resurfacing 2,174 linear feet of existing path, constructing 3,004 linear feet of new asphalt concrete trail, and installing 48 trail lights to enhance nighttime safety. All work is confined to the City’s right-of-way and is designed to improve accessibility and connectivity for non-motorized transportation. The project has been determined exempt from detailed environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 and Class 4 categorical exemptions, which apply to minor alterations to existing facilities and land, and no federal contracting clauses or standards such as FAR, DFARS, or MIL-STD are applicable. The City of Patterson serves as both the lead agency and contracting authority, with Tiffany Rodriguez, PE, Director of Engineering, serving as the primary point of contact for project oversight. No formal contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, or award evaluation criteria have been disclosed in the available documentation, and while environmental filings include fee exemptions and compliance certifications, the project does not appear to involve federal procurement mechanisms, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or contractor certifications typically associated with federal contracts. All submissions and compliance actions are handled through state and local processes, with physical paper filings required for environmental notifications and no electronic or digital submission channels specified.
