Community Broadband Network Services Work Order CBN-1 East Los Angeles

The project involves the installation and management of core network infrastructure on existing utility poles across eight designated locations in East Los Angeles and Montebello to provide low-cost internet access to households experiencing a digital divide, where at least 20 percent lack service subscriptions. The work includes deploying broadband equipment and utility cabinets, laying fiber optic cable with associated trenching and site restoration, and ongoing operational management of the network—all without expanding the footprint of utility poles or introducing new land use. Environmental compliance is achieved through a composite application of five California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions: Class 1 for use of existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or minor alterations, Class 3 for new small structures, Class 4 for minor land changes, and Class 11 for access to public property, collectively justifying the project as having minimal environmental impact. The contract is structured as a work order under the County of Los Angeles Internal Services Department, with Eric Sasaki serving as the lead contact and signatory, though no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are designated. No pricing, contract value, payment details, or evaluation criteria are specified in the documentation, and no formal attachments, invoices, or packaging requirements are referenced. Performance occurs at distributed field sites, with final acceptance processed at the County’s administrative office in Los Angeles. The project was e-signed on January 13, 2026, with a posted date of January 14, 2026, and a submission deadline of January 13, 2026, indicating an expedited or administrative process. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, socioeconomic certifications, or contractor representations are included, as the document reflects a locally funded, environment-exempted infrastructure initiative rather than a competitive procurement.
