California Department of Technology State Route 45 Middle-Mile Broadband Network Project (EP 03-25-6-BB-0614)

The California Department of Technology, in coordination with Caltrans District 3, is advancing a broadband infrastructure project along State Route 45 in Colusa County between post miles 18.467 and 18.605, focusing on the installation of conduit, fiber optic cable, one vault, and markers to support middle-mile connectivity. The project is statutorily exempt from environmental review under Public Resources Code Section 21080.51, and the necessary exemption documentation, including a Notice of Exemption and certified exemption finding, has been submitted to the Office of Planning and Research. The work is categorized as ministerial with no competitive solicitation or contract award process identified, and no pricing, contract value, or delivery schedule details are provided in the available information. Contract administration is managed by Caltrans, District 3, located at 703 B Street, Marysville, CA 95901, with Dotrik Wilson, Branch Chief, serving as the primary point of contact, and Shannon Martin-Guzman, Project Delivery Manager, as a secondary liaison. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, accounting codes, inspection criteria, or standard representations and certifications are included in the documentation, indicating this is a state-initiated infrastructure effort operating under California’s environmental exemption framework rather than a federal procurement. There is no specified deadline or submission portal for proposals, and the only required action involves submitting state environmental exemption forms, with no indication of contractor selection, performance metrics, or technical standards beyond the physical deployment scope.
