This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Ventura, California. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

As of April 9, 2025, the project has been released for bidding by the owner. The Commission proposes to repair the Sespe Creek Overflow Railroad Bridge, located at approximately Mile Post 423.44 on the Santa Paula Branch Line (SPBL), which was damaged during a series of atmospheric river storms during January 2023. The railroad bridge and western creek embankment experienced additional damage during a series of subsequent storms during February 2024. The Sespe Creek Overflow Railroad Bridge (Figure 1) is located on the SPBL at approximately Mile Post 423.44, just upstream of Old Telegraph Road, west of the City of Fillmore, California. The bridge was constructed in 1969 and has a total length of 450 feet, vertical clearance of 14 feet, and 15 spans of 29 feet-10 inches each. On the early morning of January 10, 2023, heavy rain, stream flow, and debris accumulated during a series of storms and washed out three spans, or approximately 90 feet, of the bridge. Three spans and an abutment on the western end of the bridge were destroyed and require reconstruction to restore predisaster design, capacity, and function to restore rail service. An atmospheric river storm in early February 2024 caused an additional approximately 50 feet of earth and rock to erode behind the west abutment, leaving the railroad track structure further unsupported. In September – October 2024, emergency repairs were made to stabilize the embankment and remove suspended railroad tracks and ties. Permanent bridge repair is necessary to reconnect the Fillmore-Piru segment with the remainder of the Santa Paula Branch Line and restore the connection to the mainline at Montalvo/East Ventura. This project has California Prevailing Wage Determination 2025-1. A firm timeline has not been announced, however, construction is unlikely to begin prior to third quarter of 2025. *The bid list for this project may be incomplete.
