Contractors Ready for Billions in Caltrans Spending

California is set to invest upwards of $4 billion for future construction projects, as well as upgrades to the state’s transportation infrastructure. The California Transportation Commission allocated a total of $2.3 billion for projects like the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry, which will be used to construct a new crossing at the Calfornia-Mexico border.

SACRAMENTO ONLINE EQUIPMENT AUCTION

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) recently invested nearly $2 billion into improving the state’s transportation infrastructure while approving an additional $2.3 billion for future construction projects.

The nearly $2 billion allocation reflected more than $571 million in funding from the 2021 federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and more than $257 million in funding from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

The $2.3 billion consists of $1.75 billion representing the third funding cycle of programs established by SB 1 and $540 million in active transportation projects sponsored by local metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), charting the course for future allocations.

“SB 1 and IIJA funding are helping rebuild and transform California’s transportation future and we are putting that investment to work to create a system that allows all of us to travel in an equitable, safe and sustainable way,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares.

The additional $1.7 billion for future investments cover three SB 1 competitive grant programs: $1.1 billion for the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP); $507.4 million for the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP); and $142.4 million for the Local Partnership Program (LPP). The programs included, for the first time, input from the new Interagency Equity Advisory Committee in the evaluation of projects. This funding round also marks the first cycle to incorporate all principles of the state’s Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure. see PACKAGE page 4

Caltrans Honors 11 Workers With Medal of Valor Awards The state of California recently honored 11 Caltrans employees with the Governor’s State Employee Medal of Valor, the highest honors California bestows on its public servants.

The awards are given to state employees for acts of heroism that go beyond the normal call of duty and at great personal risk to protect state property or save lives.

“These 11 Caltrans workers courageously saved others while putting their own lives at risk,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares.

“Today, we join Governor Gavin Newsom in honoring them and showing our gratitude for their selfless acts. We are extremely proud that they are part of our Caltrans family.”

Caltrans Landscape Maintenance Worker Brian Rubalcava and Highway Maintenance

Worker Jason Lofton were awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for their heroic act during a dangerous rescue in extreme cold weather down steep terrain to save a couple after their vehicle went over a snow-covered embankment in Siskiyou County on Dec. 19, 2021.

Caltrans Equipment Operators Jeremy Maraviov, Scott Davidson and Trevor Gipson were awarded with the Silver Medal of Valor for saving a father and young son after their car went down a steep embankment in Trinity County on Dec. 26, 2021.

Caltrans Highway Maintenance Worker Nicholas Macias and Equipment Operator Robert Hernandez were awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for saving a man trapped inside a burning vehicle in Merced on Aug.

3, 2022.

Caltrans Equipment Operator Roberto Lopez was awarded the Gold Medal of Valor for rescuing a colleague who was trapped in a burning vehicle after an incident with a cargo truck in San Diego County on May 26, 2022.

Caltrans Maintenance Area Superintendent Cody Collins and Transportation Engineering Technician Jeffrey Scardine were awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for rescuing a student who fell while taking a bank scaling and rockclimbing course in Kingvale on Oct. 6, 2022.

The student was dangling by rope, putting him into a life-threatening situation. Collins and Scardine quickly assessed the situation, rappelled, and transferred the student safely

to the ground, saving his life.

Caltrans Highway Maintenance Worker William Miller was awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for rescuing a woman after her vehicle struck Miller’s in the early morning of Jan. 21, 2020, in Placer County.

Despite his injuries, he selflessly saved the woman in the other vehicle before both vehicles were engulfed in flames.

The State Employee Medal of Valor award is the highest honor California bestows on its public servants. Gov. Edmund G. Brown Sr. presented the first awards in 1959. Since then, more than 700 state employees, including 116 Caltrans employees, have earned the honor for their courage and selflessness in the face of danger.  (All photos courtesy of Caltrans.)

California Rail Builders Completes Kern County Overpass

Work at the McCombs Road overcrossing began in 2020. The structure took 15 precast concrete girders, 158 deck panels and approximately more than 2,300 cu. yds. of concrete to complete.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority), in collaboration with California Rail Builders, recently announced the completion of the McCombs Road overcrossing in Kern County. This is the fifth high-speed rail structure completed by the Authority in 2023.

The McCombs Road overcrossing is located on State Route (SR) 43, north of the city of Wasco in Kern County.

This grade separation spans 415 ft., is 40-ft. wide and realigns McCombs Road slightly north to take traffic over SR 43 and the future high-speed rail lines.

“The completion of McCombs Road shows we are one step closer to wrapping up the first leg of high-speed rail construction in between Tulare and Kern counties,” said Garth

This grade separation spans 415 ft., is 40-ft. wide and realigns McCombs Road slightly north to take traffic over SR 43 and the future high-speed rail lines.

Fernandez, Central Valley Regional Director. “Our goal is to have this section of high-speed rail construction completed this fall.”

Work at the McCombs Road overcrossing began in 2020.

The structure took 15 pre-cast concrete girders, 158 deck panels and approximately more than 2,300 cu. yds. of concrete to complete.

Earlier in July, the Authority announced the completion of the Elkhorn Avenue overcrossing in Fresno County and, earlier this year, grade separations at Idaho and Dover avenues in Kings County were also opened to traffic. The Authority also announced the completion of the Cedar Viaduct, a highspeed rail signature structure in Fresno County, in May.

Since the start of construction, the Authority has created more than 11,000 construction jobs, a majority going to residents from the Central Valley. This includes creating more than 2,063 jobs for Kern County residents.

The Authority has begun work to extend the 119 mi. under construction to 171 mi. of future electrified high-speed rail from Merced to Bakersfield. There are more than 30 active construction sites in California’s Central Valley, with the Authority having environmentally cleared 422 mi. of the high-speed rail program from the Bay Area to the Los Angeles Basin.

Gov. Ronald Reagan Signing AB 69, which created Caltrans.

Department of transportation signage at Caltrans headquarters in Sacramento.

Fifty years ago this month, the State of California established a new Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to unify a wide range of transportation functions under a single entity. Since July 1973, the department has managed one of the most complex transportation systems in the nation and helped play a vital role in creating the world’s fourth largest economy.

Five decades later, Caltrans continues its mission to deliver a best-in-class experience for all Californians, regardless of the mode of travel they choose.

Caltrans Director Tony Tavares is helping lead the agency as it celebrates the department’s Golden Anniversary.

Additionally, to honor the milestone, Caltrans has released an updated Caltrans History page on its official website. This new content traces the state’s transportation roots from 1895 when the Bureau of Highways was formed and chronicles key developments and noteworthy projects spanning to the present day.  (All photos courtesy of Caltrans.)
