Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) Program

The Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) Program is an innovative delivery method that allows Caltrans to engage a construction manager to provide input during the design process. Caltrans and the construction manager agree on a price for construction of the project, and the construction manager becomes the general contractor.

You will find various documents developed by Caltrans to implement CMGC on this webpage. These documents are subject to modification.

District 11 Coronado Bridge Foundation Rehabilitation Project

The Coronado Bridge Foundation Rehabilitation Project focuses on rehabilitating the bridge’s pile foundations from Piers 5 to 23 and upgrading the existing bridge protection system. Key milestones currently anticipate the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PAED) phase (2025–2028), followed by Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) development (2029–2031), with construction beginning in 2032.

$350–$400

Once the project’s nomination is approved, Caltrans will develop a full procurement schedule.

District 11 I‑805 and I‑5 Corridor Managed Lane Project

 

The District 11 I‑805 and I‑5 Corridor Managed Lane effort will combine six related projects—EA 2T375, 2T366, 2T371, 2T387, 2T367 and 2T377—into a single construction contract. This unified delivery approach reflects the projects’ shared scope, corridor continuity, and consistent managed‑lane improvements along both highways.

With Project Approval and Environmental Document (PAED) completed, Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) is anticipated to occur in phases depending on each work package between 2027 and 2031.

Up to $850

Once the project’s nomination is approved, Caltrans will develop a full procurement schedule.
