SR 111 TMS Lifecycle Reset

Caltrans, District 11 - San Diego, is undertaking a lifecycle reset of the traffic monitoring system (TMS) at the intersection of SR 111 and East Heber Road in Imperial County, California. The project involves removing the existing end-of-life controller and its components, salvaging any reusable equipment, and installing a new controller with all necessary contents solely within the existing TMS cabinet. All work is conducted within the State Right of Way and requires no ground or vegetation disturbance, ensuring zero environmental impact. This replacement is necessary to comply with current Caltrans operational directives and the SB-1 Mandate, as the aging system is prone to failure and no longer meets modern performance standards. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from both CEQA and NEPA environmental review under Class 1 exemptions, supported by an approved Environmental Commitment Record. The project is identified by the EA/PID number 11-2N280 and DIST-CO-RTE 11-IMP-111, with a posted forecast date of December 30, 2025, and an execution date of December 24, 2025. No solicitation number, contract value, or pricing details are provided, indicating this is a non-competitive internal maintenance activity rather than a formal procurement. Responsibility for execution lies entirely with Caltrans, with no identified contractor or subcontractor. Project oversight is managed by Louie La Compte as Project Manager and Emery McCaffery as Lead Environmental Planner, both based at the Caltrans District 11 office in San Diego. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site at the installation location, with compliance verified through environmental documentation rather than technical performance specifications. No contract clauses, packaging requirements, payment details, evaluation factors, or solicitation instructions beyond environmental certification are included, reflecting a streamlined, internally managed infrastructure upgrade.
