Cable Placement, Splicing and Maintenance of Facilities and/or Infrastructure – Harbor Development Permit No. 26-028

The contract authorizes Frontier Communications to perform cable placement, splicing, and maintenance of existing infrastructure within the Long Beach Harbor District under Harbor Development Permit No. 26-028 for a three-year period. Work is limited to accessing existing manholes and performing minor alterations to current facilities with no expansion of prior use, qualifying the project for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301 as a minimal environmental impact activity. The scope is strictly service-based, involving routine utility maintenance rather than new construction, and all work must occur at various locations across the harbor district in Long Beach, California. No formal solicitation, competitive bidding, or contract value is disclosed, indicating this is an administrative permitting action rather than a competitive federal acquisition. The Port of Long Beach serves as the governing authority, overseeing compliance through its Environmental Planning Division, with Tyler Hanks and Renee Moilanen as key environmental contacts. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and there are no FAR clauses, payment details, invoicing systems, contract administration personnel, or socioeconomic certifications referenced. The project does not involve packaging, marking, inspection standards beyond CEQA compliance, or performance incentives. Submission of the environmental exemption notice through CEQAnet and to state and county clearinghouses confirms adherence to procedural requirements, but no formal proposal submission process, evaluation factors, or award criteria are defined, underscoring that this is a ministerial permit issuance for an exempt activity rather than a procurements process.
