Glendale - Los Angeles Garden River Bridge

The Glendale - Los Angeles Garden River Bridge project is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge designed to span the Los Angeles River between the Cities of Glendale and Los Angeles, with the goal of enhancing connectivity to the Glendale Narrows Riverwalk and Griffith Park while improving safety for non-motorized users. The bridge will be a three-span, curvelinear structure with integrated landscaping, and construction is structured into five distinct phases beginning January 2026 and concluding March 2028, with each phase coordinating abutments, substructure, superstructure, and final architectural and landscaping elements. Performance is centered at the intersection of Flower Street and Zoo Drive along the Los Angeles River, with precise coordinates and parcel data identified for the project location. The lead agency, the City of Glendale, is responsible for oversight and administration, with Dennis Joe, Principal Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. The project is subject to rigorous environmental compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act and requires adherence to air quality, noise, and vibration thresholds established by SCAQMD, Caltrans, and Glendale Municipal Code, including limitations on emissions from construction equipment, which must meet CARB Tier 4 Interim standards. Special requirements include mandatory tribal cultural resource monitoring by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation during all ground-disturbing work, with immediate work stoppage procedures if cultural artifacts or human remains are encountered, and coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office. Mitigation measures such as a 6-foot perimeter fence and the Workers Environmental Awareness Program, which trains construction personnel on environmental and cultural resource recognition, are embedded as operational conditions. Environmental documentation, including the Flora/Fauna Compendium, Special-Status Species Table, Site Photographs, and Jurisdictional Delineation Report, supports compliance, and proposal submissions must include both electronic and 15 hardcopy versions of summaries alongside a completed Notice of Completion Form, delivered to Sacramento’s State Clearinghouse by the February 17, 2026 deadline. No contract value, pricing structure, evaluation factors, or formal FAR clauses were provided in the documentation; however, the absence of specified payment offices, accounting data, invoicing systems, or designated COR/COTR/PCO personnel indicates the project likely operates under local procurement authority rather than federal acquisition regulations, despite the inclusion of federal environmental standards. All attachments and compliance conditions are tied to CEQA obligations, and no socioeconomic set-asides, offeror certifications, or federal
