AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Water Resources has issued a Notice of Exemption for the California Aqueduct Reach 4 PG&E Transmission Line Guard Structure Installations project located in Fresno County. This project involves the installation of temporary wooden guard structures designed to catch transmission lines that could fall during overhead tower work conducted by PG&E. The work will take place within the Department of Water Resources right of way at two specific locations along the California Aqueduct Reach 4. At milepost 92.40R, two 45-foot-tall wooden poles will be installed approximately 12 to 15 feet apart, while a single 45-foot-tall pole will be installed at milepost 93.05R. Technical requirements include using an auger-mounted digger truck to drill holes approximately two feet in diameter and eight feet deep, followed by backfilling and compacting the area around the poles. The project is exempt from environmental review under California Government Code Section 6103 and qualifies for categorical exemptions due to the nature of the minor alterations to existing facilities. The Department of Water Resources will issue an Encroachment Permit to facilitate the work, which may require PG&E vehicles to drive off established roads to access the sites. Once the transmission tower work is finished, PG&E is responsible for removing the guard structures and backfilling and compacting the resulting holes to match the original grade. This project is managed by Mark McDaniel, Planner/Scheduler/UC Supervisor, and is categorized under NAICS code 237130.

Full Description

PG&E will be conducting overhead transmission line work on existing towers. Most of the work will be done in the air using a helicopter, however, PG&E will install temporary guard structures on the ground in the Department of Water Resources right of way. The guard structures are safety features designed to catch transmission lines that could fall to the ground during work and will consist of wooden poles with accessories for catching overhead wires. Two guard structures will be installed within 12 to 15 feet of each other at California Aqueduct milepost (MP) 92.40R; one guard structure will be installed at California Aqueduct MP 93.05R. PG&E vehicles may need to drive off established roads to access the work sites. For both locations, the accessories for catching overhead wires will first be attached to the wooden poles. At MP 92.40R, an auger-mounted digger truck will drill two approximately two-foot diameter by eight-foot-deep holes, and a 45-foot-tall wooden pole, with the attached accessories, will be installed in each hole. At MP 93.05R, one approximately two-foot diameter by eight-foot-deep hole will be drilled, and a 45-foot-tall wooden pole, with the attached accessories, will be installed in the hole. Once the poles are installed, the area around the guard structures will be backfilled and compacted. PG&E will remove the guard structures when the transmission tower work is complete; the holes left by the removed poles will be backfilled and compacted to match the original grade. Work is necessary to protect the public while PG&E conducts overhead transmission tower work.
