GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Experience
B&R staff have previously worked together on projects that range from small highway improvements to multi-million-dollar, complex transportation infrastructure projects. One of these projects is the I-215 Bi-County HOV Gap Closure Project through the cities of Riverside, Colton, Grand Terrace, and San Bernardino. This was a Caltrans project with a $170 million price tag being delivered in cooperation with SBCTA and RCTC. B&R staff roles included construction management, resident engineer, and inspection. Another example is the I-10 Roadway and Bridge Widening Project through the City of Ontario. On this project B&R staff provided construction management and structure representative activities. This was a freeway widening project that added high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to a 5-mile segment of I-10, from approximately the Haven Avenue overcrossing to the Grove Avenue undercrossing. It included five bridges and over 15,000 linear feet of retaining walls and soundwalls. Another example where B&R staff participated in the successful delivery was the $75 million I-15 pavement rehabilitation and widening project from 6th St in Ontario to the 15/60 interchange. This was one of the first projects to use “super slab” technology in District 8. The management team was able to construct this major project within budget and with $3.5 million remaining in contingencies. Also, B&R staff have experience constructing new grade separations like the Lakeview Avenue GS for OCTA and the Avenue 52 GS for the City of Coachella.
