CVIN, dba Vast Networks Interstate 5 Middle-Mile Broadband Network Project (Encroachment Permit 03-25-6-BB-1335)

CVIN, dba Vast Networks, is undertaking a broadband infrastructure project along Interstate 5 in Yolo County, California, specifically between post miles R6.64 and R6.684, in coordination with the California Department of Transportation and the California Department of Technology. The project involves the installation of conduit and fiber optic cable within the state highway right-of-way to expand middle-mile broadband connectivity. This initiative is administratively exempt from full environmental review under California’s Public Resources Code Sections 21080.51, 21083, 21110, 21108, 21152, and 21152.1, which facilitate streamlined deployment of broadband infrastructure on transportation corridors. The designated place of performance is in Woodland, California, with Caltrans District 3 serving as the lead agency overseeing the encroachment permit, identified as 03-25-6-BB-1335. While the project is forecasted and publicly posted as of September 18, 2025, no formal contract value, pricing details, delivery schedule, or payment terms have been established or disclosed. The project does not include standard federal acquisition regulation clauses, nor does it specify evaluation factors, award criteria, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or contracting officer representative designations. No information on the contractor’s size status, socioeconomic certifications, Unique Entity ID, or CAGE code is available. The primary documentation centers around the Notice of Exemption and procedural compliance with state environmental law, rather than a detailed procurement contract. Point of contact for the project is Dotrik Wilson, Branch Chief at Caltrans District 3, who may oversee coordination but has not been formally designated as a contracting officer or technical representative. No submission deadlines, proposal formats, electronic portals, or packaging requirements are specified, reflecting the preliminary and ministerial nature of this action under state statutory authority.
