Document Description
The landscape rehabilitation will occur in the city of Fontana in the westbound direction of State Route 210 in San Bernardino County between postmiles (PM) 12.9-15.0. Work will include removal of invasive plant species, degraded/dead trees, installation of new trees and groundcover plantings, implementation of erosion control measures, and upgrades to the irrigation systems. Irrigation improvements will consist of replacing multiple irrigation controllers, remote control valves, electrical wiring, and irrigation pipe (12" to 24") with standard trenching. Equipment staging areas, driving/parking off-pavement, and ramp closures will also be needed. All work will be performed within Caltrans right-of-way (ROW).
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to maintain our Classified Landscaped Freeway status by re-establishing planting and improving Roadside Safety for Maintenance Workers by relocating irrigation systems to safe and accessible locations. Need: The need of this project is to address gaps of landscape that can lead to the de-classification of the Classified Landscaped Freeway status. Maintenance worker safety is a current issue due to the location of existing valves near the roadway. Additionally, invasive plant species have taken over the landscape slopes and require additional maintenance and worker exposure.
