Williams Drive Access Improvements for Vulnerable Road Users Project

Del Norte County is advancing the Williams Drive Access Improvements for Vulnerable Road Users Project to construct a 650-foot multi-use path within the existing right-of-way along Williams Drive in Crescent City, California, extending from Highway 101 to the east property line of APN 118-020-033. This project aims to replace an outdated and unsafe shoulder used by pedestrians and cyclists with a dedicated, accessible non-motorized facility, accompanied by minor adjustments to the adjacent roadside ditch for improved drainage and long-term stability. The project has been determined exempt from state environmental review under CEQA Class 1 and Class 4 categorical exemptions, and compliance with relevant provisions of the California Public Resources Code is required. Submission of a certified exemption finding and a completed Notice of Exemption filing are mandatory components of the application process. The project is administered by the County of Del Norte through its Community Development Department, with Heidi Kunstal, Director of Community and Development, serving as the primary point of contact. All work will be performed at the specified location in Crescent City with a ZIP code of 95531, and submissions must be mailed to the County’s administrative office at 981 H Street, Suite 110. No formal contract type, funding amount, pricing structure, line items, or procurement evaluation criteria are provided in the available documentation; the solicitation number PRJ2048 references an environmental compliance process rather than a traditional competitive bidding framework. There is no indication of federal acquisition regulation clauses, contractor representations, socioeconomic set-asides, payment details, inspection standards beyond CEQA exemptions, or designated contracting officers or technical representatives. The project appears to be locally funded and managed with minimal formal procurement documentation beyond environmental compliance requirements.
