South Milpitas Boulevard Bridge Project

The City of Milpitas is advancing the South Milpitas Boulevard Bridge Project to construct a multi-use bridge across the Penitencia East Channel, linking South Milpitas Boulevard on the north side with a newly planned connector street between Tarob Court and Sango Court on the south side. The bridge will accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, alongside associated infrastructure such as access ramps, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, storm drains, bio-retention features, water lines, fencing, and gates. A key component of the project involves the demolition of the vacant office building located at 1831–1841 Tarob Court, identified by APN 086-36-030, which is owned by the City. The project also includes purchasing a segment of the creek from the Santa Clara Valley Water District and securing easements to ensure long-term access and maintenance rights for flood control and infrastructure upkeep. Environmental compliance is governed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with a Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted to address potential impacts, requiring ongoing monitoring and reporting through a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. All environmental documentation, including the Notice of Determination, has been filed with the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder and the State Office of Planning and Research. Contract administration is handled locally with no federal procurement structure in place. The City of Milpitas acts as the lead agency, while the Santa Clara Valley Water District serves as the responsible agency for regulatory oversight and encroachment permits. Payment for environmental filing fees, such as the $2,966.75 fee processed through the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, reflects administrative costs tied to compliance rather than contract financing. No formal contract value, pricing table, line-item costs, or federal acquisition clauses—such as FAR clauses, COR/COTR designations, or SAM-registered contractors—are included in the documentation. There is no stated period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or bid submission deadline, as the project is in the environmental approval phase with construction timing still undefined. The solicitation number ENV25789 denotes the environmental review filing, not a procurement solicitation for contractors, and all procurement mechanisms remain internal to the City’s administrative and planning processes. Key project contacts include Lyhak Eam, Principal Civil Engineer at the City of Milpitas, and Lisa Holm, Associate Environmental Planner with Santa Clara Valley Water District, who facilitate coordination between jurisdictions but are not formally assigned as contracting
