Remove and Replace SAFB

The California Department of Transportation, specifically District 6 – Fresno/Bakersfield, will remove and replace a damaged Safety Roadside Flashing Beacon and its foundational structure after a vehicle collision compromised the system. The work includes extracting the existing SAFB Type 9 pole and foundation along with all associated conductors and wiring, while reusing the current pull boxes. The replacement will occur at the exact original location to maintain intended safety functionality. Temporary traffic control measures will be implemented during construction, including portable changeable message signs, enhanced enforcement signage under the Construction Zone Enhanced Enforcement Program, additional construction zone and street signs, and potential one-way traffic routing to safely facilitate the installation. The project is forecasted and publicly posted with a planned posting date of June 2, 2026, and will be performed in Madera, California, with a zip code of 93638. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Shane Gunn, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable via phone at 559-832-0051 or email at shane.gunn@dot.ca.gov. No specific solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, and the NAICS code and organizational type are not listed. The work is focused on restoring a critical safety feature to its original operational condition with minimal disruption to surrounding traffic patterns.
