Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2025 and is expected to be completed within 45 calendar days. Specifications and cost estimates are available for review in the Public Works Department.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1(c) - Existing Facilities) because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of existing use. No public review is required.
