South Mendocino Digouts

The South Mendocino Digouts project is a forecast procurement by Caltrans District 1 - Eureka for roadway maintenance on Routes 20 and 101 in Mendocino County, California. The scope of work involves preserving roadway integrity through the cold planing of existing pavement, the replacement of asphalt concrete surfacing, and the application of traffic striping. Work is concentrated in two primary segments: from the Route 101/20 separation to 0.1 mile east of the North Calpella Overcrossing, and from 0.3 mile north of Route 175 to the Crawford Creek Bridge, including all four Route 101/20 ramps. All construction activities will be conducted within the existing State right of way, with equipment staging restricted to paved surfaces and non-vegetated turnouts. The project is classified as a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15304, as it involves minor alterations to existing facilities with no tree removal or significant soil disturbance. While the project was posted as a forecast on July 25, 2025, specific contract values, delivery schedules, and evaluation factors have not yet been disclosed. Coady Reynolds serves as the primary lead agency contact for the project.
