Fiber Conduit Installation – Directional Boring & Trenching

The contract involves the installation of approximately 49.68 miles of fiber optic conduit along the corridor of Interstate 15, utilizing both trenching and directional boring techniques within 30 feet of the highway right-of-way. The work must be executed with precision to ensure minimal disruption to traffic and surrounding infrastructure, adhering to all applicable safety and environmental standards. The project is structured as a subcontract under the North American Industry Classification System code 237110, which pertains to highway, street, and bridge construction, indicating the technical scope aligns with civil infrastructure development. The contract was posted on July 7, 2026, and is managed by Caltrans District 8, which covers San Bernardino and Riverside counties in California. While specific performance location details such as city and zip code are not provided, the scope is clearly tied to the I-15 corridor within the district’s jurisdiction. The absence of a solicitation number suggests this may be a direct subcontract award rather than a publicly bid opportunity. The project requires a contractor capable of executing complex underground utility work in close proximity to a major interstate, demanding expertise in directional boring to avoid surface disturbances and ensure long-term conduit integrity.
