Bridge Contractor Outreach

The formation of the Bridge Contractors/Caltrans Liaison Committee serves the purpose of fostering productive discourse between the Division of Engineering Services and the Bridge Contracting community, specifically focusing on structural matters. Our objective is to promote the exchange of information and engage in collaborative efforts to address action items that have been mutually agreed upon by the committee.  

In addition to our semi-annual meetings, we are prepared to convene additional sessions as necessary to address specific action items.  If you require any of the topic files below, please reach out to us via email at osc.administration@dot.ca.gov.  We are here to facilitate communication and provide the necessary resources to support our shared goals.
