California Department of Technology United States 50 Middle-Mile Broadband Network Project (Encroachment Permit 03-25-6-BB-1066)

The California Department of Technology, in coordination with Caltrans District 3, is advancing a middle-mile broadband infrastructure project along U.S. Highway 50 at post mile R15.049 in El Dorado County, with the place of performance centered in Placerville, California. The initiative involves the installation of conduit, fiber optic cable, vaults, and markers within the highway right-of-way to enhance broadband connectivity, and it operates under a statutory exemption from environmental review as authorized by Public Resources Code Section 21080.51, with a certified exemption document required as part of the submission. This is not a formal solicitation or contract but a forecasted project, identified by the encroachment permit number 03-25-6-BB-1066, with no specified contract value, pricing structure, or clause language typically found in procurement documents. The lead point of contact is Dotrik Wilson, Branch Chief, who also serves as the primary liaison, with Shannon Martin-Guzman acting as Project Delivery Manager. There are no defined performance periods, delivery schedules, FOB terms, invoicing methods, or payment details provided in the documentation, and no contract type such as fixed-price or cost-reimbursement has been established. No evaluation factors for award, inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging specifications, or special contract requirements such as security clearances or key personnel designations are outlined. The procuring office is Caltrans, District 3, while the California Department of Technology acts as the implementing agency, and while an agency code of 9dd23d80 is referenced, no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable or provided. Submission of the certified exemption document is mandatory, and responses must be mailed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, though no formal deadline, electronic submission portal, or standardized proposal format is stipulated, indicating a streamlined administrative process focused on regulatory compliance rather than competitive bidding.
