Sand Canyon Avenue Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) Project

The City of Irvine is advancing the Sand Canyon Avenue Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program to modernize traffic signal infrastructure and align signal timing with Caltrans-operated ramp meters along the corridor from Portola Parkway to the I-405 Southbound ramps. The project focuses on optimizing traffic flow by upgrading existing signals and implementing synchronized timing to respond to current and projected traffic patterns, without expanding roadway capacity or constructing new infrastructure. As a locally managed initiative, the project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a certified exemption finding submitted in compliance with Public Resources Code Sections 21083, 21110, 21108, 21152, and 21152.1. The lead contact for the project is Tiffany Barie, Associate Engineer at the City of Irvine, who serves as the primary point of coordination, though no formal contracting officer, COR, COTR, or PCO roles are explicitly designated. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or federal procurement standards apply, as the effort is entirely state and locally governed. The place of performance is firmly established in Irvine, California, with inspection and acceptance expected to occur at the project site. While the project was posted in November 2025 and the exemption was signed on November 19, 2025, no contract value, period of performance, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or payment details are provided. Submissions require only a certified exemption document, with no specified page limits, electronic submission portals, or formal proposal formatting requirements, suggesting a streamlined administrative process. No socioeconomic, size status, or unique entity identifiers are included, and no contract options, security clearances, key personnel mandates, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are applicable or referenced.
