SIE 89 Replace Fencing (EA 03-2N330)

The California Department of Transportation, District 3 – Marysville/Sacramento, has initiated an emergency repair project on State Route 89 in Sierra County, spanning from Post Mile 0.50 to 1.69, to remove and replace damaged fence poles and install new wildlife fencing. The work is designed to restore the fence’s functionality in guiding wildlife to existing undercrossings and reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions, with all activities confined within Caltrans right-of-way and classified as routine maintenance. The project was approved under a categorical exemption under both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Class 1(d)) and the National Environmental Policy Act (23 CFR 771.117(c)(1) and (d)(1)), eliminating the need for formal environmental assessments or public review. No competitive solicitation was issued, and the contract type, value, pricing, or contractor details are not specified, indicating direct execution by Caltrans under emergency authority. The project is administratively tracked using internal identifiers including EA 03-2N330, EFIS 0326000044, and a transaction ID, with all environmental documentation certified by Caltrans personnel and filed with the Office of Planning and Research. Key personnel include Jason Ammerman as the primary agency contact, Lisa Machado as Senior Environmental Planner and potential COR/COTR, and Anthony Thurman as Project Manager, all based in District 3. There are no specified packaging, marking, preservation, invoicing, or payment details, and no external contractor representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status data are included, as no formal procurement process was conducted. Performance is expected at the project site with inspection and acceptance overseen directly by Caltrans, and no military standards, Incoterms, or external inspection criteria are referenced, with compliance based solely on functional restoration to existing conditions.
