Re-Encampment Deterrent Measures- 1V410/0426000443

The contract aims to implement deterrent measures to prevent the re-establishment of encampments by Persons Experiencing Homelessness along key highway corridors in Contra Costa County, specifically I-680, I-242, and I-04 at multiple locations. These measures are designed to discourage the formation of new encampments while aligning with environmental and regulatory standards, focusing on sustainable and compliant outreach and physical interventions. The project is managed by Caltrans District 4 in the Bay Area/Oakland region under the oversight of Senior Environmental Scientist Mariam Farrar, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The contract was posted as a forecast on July 8, 2026, indicating future procurement intent rather than an active award, with no solicitation number or set-aside details currently available. The work is confined to the state of California, with performance occurring within the designated highway corridors in Contra Costa County. Although specific implementation methods and budgetary details are not provided, the emphasis is on environmentally responsible approaches that comply with state and federal regulations, ensuring that efforts to address homelessness-related encampments are balanced with public safety, infrastructure integrity, and human dignity.
