Chandler Bikeway Extension Project

The Chandler Bikeway Extension Project is a 0.6-mile infrastructure initiative in Burbank, California, designed to connect the existing eastern terminus of the Chandler Bikeway at Mariposa Street to the San Fernando Bikeway along the Burbank Western Channel. The project will construct a multimodal bikeway system combining Class I and Class IV fully separated bike paths, utilizing former Union Pacific rail corridor land and existing city rights-of-way without requiring any new property acquisitions. Key deliverables include safety enhancements at rail crossings such as gates, warning devices, and channelization; access-restricting fencing to prevent unauthorized entry onto active railroad tracks; upgraded lighting along the trail and channel; and signal timing evaluations. All elements of the project must comply with ADA standards and California Public Utilities Commission General Order 88-B, with additional adherence required to the CPUC’s Environmental and Social Justice Action Plan regarding safety, air quality, public health, and community outreach. Coordination with Union Pacific Railroad and the CPUC’s Rail Crossings Engineering Branch is mandatory for design approvals and operational safety. The project is administered by the City of Burbank as the contracting authority, with regulatory oversight handled by the CPUC. While the contract is currently in a forecast stage and no formal solicitation number, award type, contract value, or period of performance has been defined, the point of contact for project inquiries is David Kriske, Assistant Community Development Director – Transportation Planning. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, or submission instructions are included in the available documentation, as this appears to be a pre-solicitation planning document. No packaging, marking, preservation, or invoicing requirements are specified, and there are no references to contract administration personnel such as a COR or PCO, indicating that oversight responsibilities remain with city and regulatory agencies rather than federal contracting officials. Attachment lists, representations, and socioeconomic certifications are absent, consistent with the project’s preliminary nature. The place of performance is entirely within Burbank, California, along the designated bikeway alignment.
