I-580 Richmond/San Rafael Bridge Electrical Repairs DO (EA 3X150)

Caltrans, District 4 - Bay Area/Oakland, is undertaking electrical system repairs on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge along I-580, covering sections in Contra Costa County from post mile 6.00 to 7.78 and in Marin County from post mile 0.00 to 2.70. The scope includes replacing approximately 1,500 feet of stolen aluminum wiring along the bicycle and pedestrian path from Piers 1 through 30, installing new conduit and wiring to restore the navigation and foghorn systems at Piers 34 and 48, and adding dedicated breakers at Pier 34 to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards, as the current wiring is improperly connected to a shared breaker. All pier work will be performed from a boat without in-water or underwater operations and is expected to take about a week. Additional repairs involve reconnecting or replacing severed communication wiring and addressing vandalism damage on the east end of the bridge, which includes installing new power cable from splice points to termination boxes, new mounting struts, and vandal-resistant pull-boxes. The project is governed by environmental exemptions under the Public Resources Code Sections 21083 and 21110, and work must adhere to general safety standards for electrical installations. The contract is classified under NAICS code 238210 and is issued as a forecast with no defined dollar value, submission deadline, or formal contract type. The place of performance is strictly limited to the bridge location, and inspections are assumed to occur on-site by Caltrans personnel. There are no specified packaging, marking, or invoicing requirements, no designated COR or COTR, and no special contract clauses regarding security, key personnel, options, or organizational conflict of interest. The lead point of contact for the project is Juliane Smith, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable through Caltrans District 4 in Oakland.
