SR-111 ADA Curb Ramp and Sidewalk Improvements

Caltrans, District 11 - San Diego, is forecasting an infrastructure improvement project at the intersection of SR-111 and Cole Boulevard in Calexico, Imperial County, California, to enhance ADA compliance and pedestrian safety. The scope includes installing four curb ramps conforming to Standard Plan A88A Detail A, four continental crosswalks with limit lines, and Type R Markers on SR-111 to improve wrong-way visibility. Additional work involves relocating existing loop detectors and pedestrian push buttons in accordance with ADA Section 4E of the California MUTCD, adjusting traffic signal timing to implement Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI), and removing outdated striping as needed. The project is limited to the north portion of the intersection and is designed as a minimal revision to existing infrastructure. Environmental compliance is established through a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CEQA and a categorical exclusion under 23 CFR 771.117, with federal funding derived from 23 USC 326 and 327. The project site is the sole location for performance, inspection, and acceptance, with quality verification based on ADA standards, Caltrans Standard Plan A88A, and CA MUTCD specifications. No contract value, pricing details, or award methodology are specified, as the document is a forecast with no formal solicitation or contract number issued. Primary project contacts include Emery McCaffery, Environmental Scientist, and other Caltrans staff, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical oversight roles are formally designated. The procurement remains in a pre-solicitation phase, with no submission deadlines, proposal formats, or contractor requirements outlined.
