Connect Traffic Management Systems to Fiber

The project involves connecting existing Transportation Management Systems—including Changeable Message Signs and Closed Circuit Television cameras—along Routes 58 and 395 in San Bernardino County, specifically within the State Right of Way between the San Bernardino County Line and I-15, to an existing fiber optic communication network. Currently, these critical TMS components lack reliable connectivity and are not fully operational; this effort aims to restore full functionality by establishing a durable communication link back to Caltrans District 8’s Transportation Management Center. All work will be conducted strictly within established rights-of-way, with no expansion of infrastructure or new construction outside existing corridors. The project has been determined eligible for a categorical exemption under Class 1(d) of the California Environmental Quality Act, recognizing it as a minor alteration to an existing public facility with no significant environmental impact. The project is managed by Caltrans District 8, with the primary point of contact being Malisa Lieng, Senior Environmental Planner, reachable at 909-261-3955. The solicitation number is 1P370, posted on August 28, 2025, with performance located in Barstow, California, covering specified postmile segments on Routes 58 and 395. No detailed contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms have been disclosed, nor are there any identified Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, or special contractual requirements such as security clearances, key personnel mandates, or contract options. While environmental compliance documentation has been filed, including a Notice of Exemption and certified findings, no formal procurement instructions, offeror certifications, or technical specifications for installation or quality standards are provided in the available materials. The work scope is focused solely on integrating existing TMS hardware into the fiber backbone to enable reliable, real-time data transmission without altering system functions or expanding physical footprint.
