Baldy Mesa Road Guardrail_H14888

The Baldy Mesa Road Guardrail project (H14888) is a forecast infrastructure improvement initiative managed by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works. Located near Phelan, California, at the intersection of Baldy Mesa Road and the California Aqueduct, the project involves the installation of a new railing system, including approach and departure terminal systems, all compliant with Caltrans standards. The scope of work includes vegetation removal and earth grading up to a maximum depth of 4.5 feet. Planned equipment for the project includes bobcats, jackhammers, loaders, drill rigs, and dump trucks. Construction is anticipated to last approximately 20 working days, with no planned nighttime operations or traffic detours. The project is granted categorical exemptions under CEQA Class 1 and Class 2 for the maintenance and reconstruction of existing public infrastructure. Additionally, it adheres to San Bernardino County Development Code 83.01.80(g)(3), which exempts noise from temporary construction activities occurring between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., excluding Sundays and federal holidays. Administrative oversight is provided by the Department of Public Works, with Manikhone Cruz and Arlene B. Chun serving as primary project contacts.
