These actions will allow the department to solicit competitive bids, once Caltrans authorizes the project for construction, and expedite the contract award.
Background
The bridge is located on County Road (CR) 95 over Dry Slough, approximately 300 feet north of CR 31, west of the City of Davis (see Attachment A for a location map). The existing 21-foot wide bridge, built in 1930, was classified by Caltrans as functionally obsolete with a sufficiency ratio of 47.7 of 100. The new bridge will be 40-foot wide comprised of two 12-foot lanes and eight-foot shoulders. During construction, a two-way on-site detour will be provided to allow the West Plainfield Fire Department access to the southern portion of the fire district and allow continued access for the surrounding community. The CEQA mitigated negative declaration for this project was approved on September 7, 2017. The NEPA categorical exclusion was approved on October 13, 2017.
A request for authorization to proceed with construction was submitted to Caltrans on October 7, 2019.
Early advertisement will help the County receive better bids and allow the contractor to start work as soon as environmental restrictions allow. The project will take approximately 120 working days to complete and is expected to be completed in 2020. |
