SR-84 Culvert Replacement Project (EA 2X660)

Caltrans is preparing to replace a damaged culvert on State Route 84 at post mile 5.00 in San Mateo County, with construction scheduled to begin in June 2026. The project will involve trenching to remove the existing culvert and install a new one of identical size and length, entirely within the state right-of-way, with all work confined to the existing drainage inlets at either end. One-way traffic control will be implemented during construction to ensure continued access. The project qualifies for a CEQA Class 1(c) exemption as a repair and replacement of an existing facility without increasing capacity or causing significant environmental impact, and supporting documentation including a certified exemption finding and Notice of Exemption have been submitted. The place of performance is clearly defined as SR-84 in San Mateo County, and while no formal solicitation number or contract value is provided, this is classified as a forecast notice indicating preliminary planning. The lead point of contact is Juliane Smith, Senior Environmental Scientist, who manages NEPA and CEQA compliance, though no contract administration personnel such as a COR, COTR, or PCO have been named. No pricing details, evaluation factors, payment or invoicing procedures, packaging requirements, or standard FAR clauses are included in the documentation, and no offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic qualifications have been requested or provided as the notice remains in the pre-solicitation forecasting phase. The anticipated work will restore full drainage functionality with minimal disruption outside the existing ROW, and the project is managed under Caltrans District 4 in Oakland with general correspondence directed to Sacramento-based administrative offices.
