Southern Inyo Wind Warning Systems

The Southern Inyo Wind Warning Systems project is a forecast procurement by Caltrans, District 9 - Bishop, under NAICS code 237310. The primary objective is to install wind warning signs at multiple locations along US 395 in Kern and Inyo counties to provide real-time information to the traveling public and assist Caltrans Maintenance forces in managing high wind events. These safety devices are intended to mitigate the risk of blow overs for high-profile vehicles, including semi-trucks, RVs, and trailers. The scope of work will be performed within disturbed areas of the Caltrans right-of-way at various sites, specifically including Pearsonville, Coso Junction, Grant, Lone Pine, and Fort Independence. The project is categorized as environmentally exempt under Section 15301 Class 1(f) as it involves the implementation of safety devices on existing facilities with no anticipated impact on environmental resources. The forecast was posted on June 22, 2026, with Kristopher Bason serving as the primary point of contact.
