Interstate 10 Corridor Project

The California Department of Transportation, District 8, is undertaking construction activities along the Interstate 10 Corridor in San Bernardino County under an amended Streambed Alteration Agreement issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, identified as EPIMS-SBR-46644-R6. The agreement authorizes work at three specific features: at Day Creek Channel, drainage outlets are being relocated without altering environmental impacts; at San Sevaine Creek Channel, an onramp bridge is being reconstructed and the roadway is being widened; and at the I-10 Channel, drainage outlets and barrier walls are being installed, an access ramp is being relocated, and new channel connections are being established. These actions support the broader I-10 Corridor Freight and Express Lane Project and are designed to comply with Fish and Game Code Section 1602 and California Code of Regulations Section 15096, with all mitigation measures incorporated as conditions of approval. The project is situated within the Cities of Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, Colton, and surrounding unincorporated areas, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife retained as the approving authority for environmental compliance. The agreement does not include traditional federal procurement elements such as Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contract pricing, delivery schedules, or evaluation factors, as it is an administrative environmental permitting instrument rather than a competitive procurement contract. No contract value or cost figures are provided, and there are no specified payment terms, invoicing procedures, or inspection criteria beyond compliance with state environmental requirements. The approved date of September 16, 2025, by CDFW marks the formal authorization for construction, with the project’s performance location clearly defined within San Bernardino County. Primary points of contact include Craig Wentworth of Caltrans District 8 for project coordination and Lisa Cardoso of CDFW for environmental oversight. No subcontracting, socioeconomic, or contractor representation requirements are applicable or documented, as Caltrans, as a state agency, is the direct applicant and implementer. The amendment reflects a modification to pre-approved work without expansion of environmental impacts, focusing solely on adjusted construction methods and locations to meet engineering and regulatory objectives.
