Freeway Ramp Meter Installation

Caltrans District 4 in the Bay Area/Oakland is issuing a subcontract for the supply and installation of new freeway ramp metering systems across multiple locations on Interstates 580, 880, and 84. The project involves the full scope of procurement, transportation, and on-site installation of automated ramp metering equipment designed to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion during peak hours. Work is to be performed in accordance with state transportation standards, with all materials and systems meeting approved specifications for durability, reliability, and integration with existing freeway control infrastructure. The contract was posted on July 8, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 238210, which classifies it as electrical and other construction installation services. While specific locations and quantities of meters remain undisclosed, the scope encompasses multiple high-priority interchanges within the designated corridors. The subcontract nature suggests the primary contract holder is managing multiple vendors or contractors to fulfill the installation requirements across the region, with compliance to Caltrans protocols and timelines being mandatory. All work must be executed with minimal disruption to traffic and in alignment with environmental and safety regulations applicable to state highway projects.
