San Bernardino Avenue Widening Project

The San Bernardino Avenue Widening Project involves the full-depth reconstruction and widening of approximately 1.25 miles of roadway from Cherry Avenue to Fontana Avenue in the City of Fontana, within San Bernardino County, California. The project will reconstruct the roadway to an 80-foot curb-separated width with a maximum excavation depth of 1.35 feet for the road surface and up to 4 feet for drainage structures. Construction activities include pulverizing and cold planing existing asphalt, installing ADA-compliant concrete ramps and driveway approaches, placing asphalt concrete driveways and dike, and constructing concrete curb, gutter, sidewalks, spandrels, and cross gutters at multiple locations. Drainage facilities will be rebuilt east of Cherry Avenue, east of Live Oak Avenue, and west of Fontana Avenue. Traffic signals at five intersections—Cherry Avenue, Redwood Avenue, Live Oak Avenue, Hemlock Avenue, and Fontana Avenue—will be relocated, and three new concrete bus stop pads will be built. The project also entails the removal of approximately 35 mature trees and stumps, and the demolition of three residential structures and one storage building to accommodate easement acquisition across 54 parcels. Work will occur entirely within the existing right-of-way and legally acquired easements, with no increase in traffic capacity planned. The estimated start date is spring 2027, with a duration of approximately 90 days. All construction must comply with ADA accessibility standards and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works at the project site, based on adherence to public works standards and regulatory requirements. The agency, located at 825 E. Third Street, San Bernardino, CA, serves as the lead organization with Ayida Smith as the primary point of contact. No contract value, pricing details, formal contract type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses were specified in the provided documentation, and no solicitation number or submission instructions are available as this is a forecast notice rather than a formal procurement notice.
