726-6US-0891 - Utility Pole Replacement Project

Caltrans District 7 has approved an encroachment permit for Southern California Edison to replace an existing 50-foot Class 4 wood pole with a new 55-foot Class 2 wood pole along State Route 164 at postmile 4.29 near Rosemead Blvd in South El Monte, Los Angeles County. The project includes concrete repair work and involves excavation with a maximum depth of 84 inches, an average width of 48 inches, and a maximum length of 48 feet. No relocation of public utilities or acquisition of additional right-of-way is required. The work is part of routine infrastructure maintenance to ensure grid reliability and compliance with safety standards. All activities are confined within the existing state right-of-way without disrupting adjacent utilities or traffic patterns beyond temporary lane impacts during construction. The project is formally registered under the identifier 726-6US-0891 and was posted as a forecast on July 21, 2026. The permitting authority is Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles, with Mojgan Abbassi serving as the primary point of contact for encroachment permits, reachable via email or phone. The location of performance is in El Monte, California, and all activities are subject to Caltrans regulations governing work within state highway rights-of-way. No set-aside type or NAICS code has been designated, indicating this is a standard utility maintenance activity under existing permitting authority rather than a competitive procurement. Public notice and compliance with environmental regulations are implied through the encroachment permit process under Caltrans oversight.
