Arcadian State Route 12 Middle-Mile Broadband Network Project (Encroachment Permit 03-25-6-BB-0286)

Arcadian, working with the California Department of Technology and the California Department of Transportation, is undertaking a project to deploy underground broadband infrastructure along State Route 12 in Sacramento County, specifically between mileage markers 0.571 and 6.2. The project involves installing conduit, fiber optic cable, vaults, and directional markers to enhance middle-mile connectivity and support statewide broadband access. This effort is part of a broader initiative to expand high-speed internet infrastructure across state highway corridors, leveraging existing rights-of-way to minimize environmental and community disruption. The work is authorized under Encroachment Permit 03-25-6-BB-0286 and falls under the jurisdiction of Caltrans District 3 based in Marysville/Sacramento. The project is officially forecasted with a posted date of June 2, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Dotrik Wilson, Branch Chief, reachable through the California Department of Transportation. Tiffanny Hale of Arcadian serves as the project manager and is the main liaison for operational and technical inquiries. The place of performance is centered near Isleton, California, with all infrastructure planned to be embedded underground to ensure long-term durability and alignment with state transportation standards. No formal solicitation number or set-aside classification has been designated, indicating this is a proactive infrastructure deployment rather than a competitively bid procurement. Public and stakeholder information is accessible via the California Environmental Quality Act network portal.
