AI Contract Overview

The CVIN, LLC, doing business as Vast Networks, is undertaking the State Route 299 Middle-Mile Broadband Network Project in coordination with the California Department of Technology. This project involves the installation of approximately 80 linear feet of underground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 5-inch diameter encasement containing two 1.5-inch HDPE conduits with fiber optic cable. The work will be performed within the Caltrans right of way along State Route 299 in Modoc County, specifically at post mile 0.778 near Adin.

This foundational investment supports statewide goals to enhance broadband access and affordability for all Californians. The project is authorized under Caltrans encroachment permit 02-25-6-BB-0321 and has been determined to be statutorily exempt from certain environmental reviews under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.51, as no significant environmental impacts are anticipated.

Full Description

CVIN, LLC, in coordination with the California Department of Technology (CDT), proposes to install approximately 80 linear feet of underground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 5 diameter encasement containing two 1.5 HDPE conduits with fiber optic cable in the Caltrans right of way along State Route 299 in Modoc County at post mile 0.778 near Adin. The encasement would be installed using directional drilling/boring methods with a minimum depth of cover of 48 inches. Caltrans will issue an encroachment permit (02-25-6-BB-0321) to allow the proposed improvements to occur within the right of way of State Route 299. This Middle-Mile Broadband Network (MMBN) project will install the broadband infrastructure along the State Highway System (SHS) and Interstate System necessary to connect to a third-party operated Last Mile Broadband Network which will bring internet connectivity to homes, businesses, and community institutions. The lack of available middle-mile broadband infrastructure has been a major issue in connecting Californias unserved and underserved communities. The statewide open-access middle-mile network included in SB 156 is a foundational investment to ensure every Californian has access to broadband internet service that meets the connectivity needs of today, and well into the future. This project intends to support these communities in providing critical statewide broadband infrastructure to enhance access to and increase the affordability of high-speed internet for all Californians.
