Southern Inyo Wind Warning Systems

The Southern Inyo Wind Warning Systems project, procured by Caltrans District 9 in Bishop, California, aims to enhance highway safety by installing wind warning signs across multiple locations in Inyo and Kern counties along US 395. The initiative is designed to provide real-time alerts to travelers and support Caltrans maintenance teams in proactively responding to high-wind events that pose significant risks of blowovers for high-profile vehicles such as RVs, semi-trucks, and trailers. Work will be conducted within Caltrans right-of-way at designated sites including Pearsonville, Coso Junction, Grant, Lone Pine, and Fort Independence, focusing on disturbed areas to minimize environmental impact. The project falls under NAICS code 237310, indicating construction related to highway and bridge systems, and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of June 22, 2026, though no solicitation number, contract value, or period of performance has been disclosed. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Kristopher Bason, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisor, reachable via email or phone. While the scope clearly defines the purpose and location, key contractual elements such as evaluation factors, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, pricing, and special requirements are not outlined in the available documentation, suggesting that further solicitation materials will be issued in the future.
