Yuba-Sutter Transit’s board materials point to a $300,000 engineering advance for the NextGen Transit Facility that was later pulled back by Caltrans after procurement preapproval steps were not followed, according to the agency’s June 18 agenda packet and supporting minutes.
A summary of the June 18 packet says the funding was tied to engineering work for the agency’s planned replacement operations, maintenance and administration facility, and that the pullback came after Caltrans found procurement preapproval noncompliance. The same summary says the board responded by approving revisions to Yuba-Sutter Transit’s procurement policies and procedures manual.
The June 18 agenda packet also lists the FY 2022-2024 triennial performance report and the updated 2026 Agency Safety Plan among the items before the board, alongside capital-planning and funding actions. The agenda materials identify the NextGen Transit Facility as one of the agency’s major long-range projects.
The supporting materials do not spell out which specific procurement step was missed or whether Caltrans has accepted the manual revisions as sufficient. But they do show the agency treating the procurement finding as a discrete compliance issue and already taking corrective action at the board level.
