AI Contract Overview

PG&E will install and later remove three temporary wooden guard structures along the California Aqueduct in Fresno County to ensure public safety during overhead transmission line maintenance conducted via helicopter. Two structures will be placed side by side at Milepost 92.40R and one at Milepost 93.05R, each consisting of a 45-foot-tall wooden pole installed in a two-foot-diameter, eight-foot-deep hole drilled using an auger-mounted digger truck. Wire-catch accessories will be pre-attached to the poles before installation, and the surrounding soil will be backfilled and compacted to restore the original grade after work completion. Vehicles may need to access the sites off established roads, and all equipment, including the poles and accessories, will be fully removed once the transmission work is finished, with the holes filled and graded to match the surrounding terrain. The work is authorized under CEQA categorical exemptions for existing facilities and minor land use alterations, and PG&E must obtain an encroachment permit from the California Department of Water Resources prior to starting. The Department of Water Resources is the overseeing agency, with Mark McDaniel listed as the primary contact for planning and permitting, though no formal contract type, pricing, evaluation factors, or FAR clauses are specified, indicating this is a forecasted project with a permit-based authorization rather than a fully executed procurement contract.

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.
