AI Contract Overview

The City of Beaumont, in coordination with Caltrans District 8, is advancing the Pennsylvania Avenue Grade Separation Project to eliminate the at-grade crossing between Pennsylvania Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad by constructing an underpass that lowers the roadway beneath the rail line. The project will extend along Pennsylvania Avenue from 3rd Street southward to just north of the I-10 off-ramp, maintaining two through lanes in each direction, a center median, and a dedicated left-turn pocket for southbound traffic onto the eastbound I-10 on-ramp, while adding a new sidewalk on the northbound side and upgrading existing southbound sidewalk infrastructure. The rail line’s horizontal alignment will remain unchanged, with only minor vertical adjustments of up to two feet in elevation. To accommodate the depressed roadway, the eastbound I-10 on-ramp and westbound off-ramp will be reprofiled for approximately 300 feet and 800 feet respectively, with new traffic signals installed at both intersections, and a retaining wall constructed along the northbound side of the on-ramp. A complex sewer relocation is planned, requiring a jack-and-bore method to install a new line beneath I-10, routing it west along East 6th Street to Massachusetts Avenue before turning south to connect with existing infrastructure. A 4,000-foot temporary shoofly track will be built parallel to the UPRR tracks to ensure uninterrupted rail operations during construction, and all new curb ramps will meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The work within Caltrans’ right-of-way includes the ramp modifications, traffic signals, sewer relocation, retaining walls, and ADA-compliant curb ramps. The project has been certified for a categorical exemption under Public Resources Code Section 21080.13 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(g), and the lead agency contact is Gita Tokhmafshan, Senior Environmental Planner at Caltrans. The agency code 86896582 is referenced for accounting purposes, though no contract value, payment details, invoicing system, or specific contract type is provided. Evaluation factors, special requirements, and submission instructions are not included in the available documentation, indicating the materials reflect a pre-solicitation forecast with comprehensive engineering scope but incomplete contractual provisions.

Full Description

The City of Beaumont (City), in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing a grade separation at the existing Pennsylvania Avenue/Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) at-grade crossing through the construction of an underpass (i.e., roadway would be depressed under the existing rail line) (Project). The roadway improvements would extend along Pennsylvania Avenue from 3rd Street to the south, to just north of the I-10 off-ramp to the north. Following construction, the horizontal alignment for the rail line would remain in its current location, while the vertical alignment/elevation would involve slight adjustment (elevation would vary from zero to two feet compared to the existing elevation). The width of the new bridge would be approximately 105 feet. The existing roadway condition on Pennsylvania Avenue consists of two through lanes in each direction (northbound [NB] and southbound [SB]), a center median, and a dedicated left-turn pocket from SB Pennsylvania Avenue to the eastbound (EB) Interstate (I-) 10 on-ramp, In addition, a sidewalk is present along the SB side of Pennsylvania Avenue that extends from East 1st Street to the south to East 6th Street to the north. Consistent with the existing roadway cross-section, following construction of the Project Pennsylvania Avenue would consist of two through lanes in each direction (NB and SB), a center median, a dedicated left-turn pocket from SB Pennsylvania Avenue to the EB I-10 on-ramp, and a sidewalk in the SB direction. In addition, the following improvements would be included: Sidewalk along the NB side of Pennsylvania Avenue Reprofiling of existing I-10 EB on-ramp and westbound (WB) off-ramp for a distance of approximately 300 feet and 800 feet, respectively, to match the lowered elevation of Pennsylvania Avenue Addition of traffic signals at the Pennsylvania Avenue/I-10 EB on-ramp and Pennsylvania Avenue/I-10 WB off-ramp intersections Retaining wall along the NB side of the I-10 EB on-ramp Relocation of the existing sewer line that is located along Pennsylvania Avenue to accommodate the lowering of the existing roadway. The sewer line would be rerouted west along East 6th Street to Massachusetts Avenue where it would then travel south. A jack and bore approach would be used to install the sewer line under I-10, and the line would tie-into the existing sewer line that exists just south of I-10 and north of the UPRR alignment. A shoofly (approximately 4,000 feet in length) would be created just south of, and parallel to, the existing UPRR tracks for use during construction to minimize impacts to UPRR. The portion of the work within Caltrans right of way includes installing traffic signals, sewer relocation, retaining walls, new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, sidewalks, and modification to the EB I-10 on-ramp and WB I-10 off-ramp at Pennsylvania Avenue.
