Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The purpose of the 2021 Various West Slope Pavement Rehabilitation Projects (Project) is to repair roadway sections in the South Lake Tahoe, Camino, Placerville, and Cameron Park areas of El Dorado County. The project includes approximately 90,000 square feet of sections on Mosquito Road, 130,000 on Sawmill Road, 100,000 on Carson Road, and 65,000 on Greenstone road and Greenstone Cutoff Road (see Attachment A, Exhibit C). The rehabilitation work will remove failing asphalt sections and replace with hot mix asphalt. Due to current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements and regulations, all existing non-standard curb ramps within the Project area are required to be brought up to current standards as part of the Project.
This Project does not have federal funding, thus only California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance is required. A CEQA Notice of Exemption was filed on March 15, 2021. This Project does not require any environmental permits or additional right of way to be acquired.

2) The Board could choose to not authorize advertisement for construction bids. Transportation will make any changes requested by the Board and return at a later date.
