Community Broadband Network Services Work Order CBN-2 South Los Angeles

The project involves the installation and management of core network infrastructure equipment on existing utility poles across twelve designated locations in South Los Angeles, including Compton, Huntington Park, Lynwood, and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, to deliver low-cost broadband internet services to households where at least 20 percent currently lack internet access. The initiative is designed to address the digital divide by leveraging existing infrastructure without new construction or significant land alterations, with all work complying with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions covering existing facilities, replacement and reconstruction, small structures, minor land alterations, and accessory structures. The equipment deployed includes utility cabinets and fiber optic hardware at precisely specified pole locations, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site at each installation point to ensure compliance with CEQA standards rather than industry-specific technical codes. The County of Los Angeles, through its Internal Services Department, serves as the contracting authority, with Eric Sasaki, Manager of Major Programs, designated as the primary point of contact for project oversight and administration, though no formal contracting officer or technical representative roles are explicitly assigned. The project is identified as a forecast under Work Order CBN-2, with environmental exemptions filed on January 13, 2026, and publicly posted on January 14, 2026, but without a solicitation number, contract value, pricing details, or specified period of performance. No information is provided regarding the contractor’s identity, size status, socioeconomic certifications, or federal acquisition regulation clauses, and no detailed evaluation criteria, invoicing methods, payment offices, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or contract options are included, indicating this is an environmental compliance and project initiation notice rather than a fully executed procurement document with binding contract terms.
