Bishop MTS Utilities and Fencing

The Bishop MTS Utilities and Fencing project, managed by Caltrans District 6, involves the expansion of the Caltrans Bishop Maintenance Station in Inyo County, California. The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 1700 feet of 6-foot chain link fencing around a sub-parcel to connect with the existing perimeter fence. Additionally, the project requires the construction of a 24-foot driveway with a gate for access from Spruce Street, which necessitates a curb cut in the City of Bishop sidewalk. Utility work consists of pavement trenching approximately 200 feet long and 36 inches deep to bring Southern CA Edison electrical and City of Bishop water and sewer hookups to the property line. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is located near State Route 6. An encroachment permit from the City of Bishop is required for the driveway and utility installations. From an environmental standpoint, the project has been granted a Categorical Exemption, Class 1, under section 15301, indicating that no significant environmental impacts are expected. All work must adhere to accepted Caltrans standard practices and environmental commitments. The primary point of contact for the project is Emily Flink, an Environmental Planner.
