The contract pertains to community relations and public information services for the Highway 101 HOV Project, a significant infrastructure undertaking aimed at closing a critical 16-mile two-lane gap between Mussel Shoals in Ventura County and Milpas Street in Santa Barbara. This effort represents Phase 4 of a larger phased approach to improving Highway 101, following the completion of earlier segments from Milpas to Hot Springs (2012), Mussel Shoals to Carpinteria (2015), and Linden and Casitas Pass (2020). The project involves adding a third lane designated as a carpool lane along 11 miles from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara, accompanied by safety and operational upgrades. The initiative builds on the 2006 "101 in Motion" multimodal corridor plan, supported by Measure A, a local sales tax measure that allocates around 13% of its revenues to this flagship project. The project incorporates collaboration with local agencies to coordinate parallel enhancements like intersection improvements and expanded active transportation options. Construction began in 2020, progressing through Carpinteria, Montecito, and Santa Barbara segments, with completion targeted for 2028. The final segment started in May 2026, and Granite Construction is the selected contractor, delivering the work under a Construction Manager/General Contractor approach managed by Caltrans during the construction phase. SBCAG played a lead role during design and continues to provide public information leadership, working closely with contractors, Caltrans, local partners, and designers such as Mark Thomas and Company. The project’s primary funding sources include Measure A, Senate Bill 1, the State Highway Operations and Protection Program, and state and federal gas tax funds. The solicitation for this contract was issued by the Project Delivery office in Santa Barbara, California, with responses due by June 27, 2026. Key contacts for the project include Fred Luna, Director of Project Delivery and Construction, and Haley DePass, Financial and Procurement Coordinator.

Full Description

The Project has been in the planning and development process for decades. The Project has been called Phase 4 of an overall Highway 101 phasing approach to close a gap of a two-lane segment of 16 miles between Mussel Shoals in Ventura County and Milpas Street in Santa Barbara. Previous phases were completed Phase 1: Milpas to Hot Springs in 2012, Phase 2: Mussel Shoals to Carpinteria in 2015 and Phase 3: Linden and Casitas Pass in 2020. SBCAG and Caltrans, along with local agency partners approved a multimodal corridor plan in 2006 called 101 in Motion, which has formed the basis for the 101 widening and other improvements in the corridor, including companion rail service which was dubbed the "Lane and Train". Many of the 101 in Motion components to relieving congestion in this 101 corridor were included in Measure A, Santa Barbara County's local sales tax measure which was passed in 2008. Within Measure A the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara Project was the flagship project countywide and received about 13% of the total Measure A revenue. The project will add a third lane, which is a carpool lane, along with safety and operational improvements throughout the 11 miles from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara. Implementation of the Project also included coordination with several complementary projects delivered in parallel to local intersections, access to coastal resources, or expanded active transportation options. These projects have primarily been implemented by local agency partners, with several remaining parallel projects still underway. SBCAG and Caltrans have coordinated closely with local agencies leading these efforts to support the corridor outcomes and success. All pre-construction work on the Project has been completed. The Project has been delivered in segments to align with available funding, minimize community impacts and maintain traffic flow during construction. Construction on the Project began in 2020 in Carpinteria and continues today with work underway in Montecito and Santa Barbara segments. The current construction in the Montecito and Santa Barbara South segment is anticipated to be complete by end of 2026. The final segment, Santa Barbara North, began construction in May 2026 and is slated to be complete in 2028. Caltrans and SBCAG have used the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) approach to deliver the current segments into construction. Granite Construction is the contractor selected by Caltrans for CMGC and also performing the on-going construction. SBCAG was the implementing agency during the design phase and continues to retain the services of Mark Thomas and Company for design support during construction. Caltrans is the implementing agency during construction. SBCAG has and will continue to lead the public information elements of the Highway 101 project in working with Caltrans, our designers, contractors and local agency partners. SBCAG serves as the regional project sponsor and funding partner along with Caltrans, with primary funding sources being Measure A (local transportation sales tax), Senate Bill 1, State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP), and state and federal gas tax funding.
