Union Pacific Trail - Phase II (CIP #54271)

The City of Fullerton is advancing the Union Pacific Trail Phase II project, a CIP-funded initiative to extend an existing recreational trail from Independence Park to connect with Phase I at Highland Avenue. The work includes constructing an asphalt-paved bicycle and recreational trail, supplementing it with a decomposed granite pedestrian path, installing solar-powered lighting, adding fencing for safety and boundary delineation, implementing landscaping and irrigation systems, and creating a regulated crossing at Richman Avenue. All improvements are confined within the existing public right-of-way and are designed to enhance accessibility and safety without expanding the facility’s footprint. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301(c) as a minor maintenance and improvement to an existing public facility, eliminating the need for an environmental impact report. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are documented, as this is a local government project administered under state environmental compliance procedures rather than federal procurement rules. The lead agency contact is Juan Zavala, Principal Civil Engineer at the City of Fullerton, who serves as the primary point of coordination for the project. Administrative responsibilities for environmental compliance, including the filing and public posting of the Notice of Exemption, are handled by the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office in Santa Ana. The project has no specified performance timeline, invoicing mechanism, or payment details beyond the exemption of filing fees, and no contracting officer, technical representative, or supplier certifications are identified. The scope is strictly limited to on-site construction within Fullerton’s 92832 zip code, with no logistics, packaging, or delivery requirements defined. The absence of any federal contract clauses, solicitation numbers, or acquisition data confirms this is a municipally managed infrastructure project governed solely by local and state environmental and public works protocols, with no federal funding or procurement oversight.
