Encroachment Permit 12-25-6-US-0511

Southern California Edison is replacing one deteriorated utility pole, designated as 1353370E, located on State Route 39 at Post Mile 16.57 in Buena Park, California, within the State right-of-way. The project is privately funded and requires an encroachment permit issued by Caltrans District 12 - Orange, which has been processed under a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301(b), due to its minimal environmental impact as a replacement of an existing utility facility. The disturbed soil area is less than one acre, and all work is confined to the State right-of-way with no additional land acquisition or significant earthmoving involved. The permit number is 12-25-6-US-0511, posted on August 6, 2025, with Smita Deshpande, Sr. Environmental Scientist, serving as the signatory, and Sunny Saroa, Associate Environmental Planner, as the primary point of contact for inquiries. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or line-item costs are specified, as this is an administrative permit rather than a competitive procurement. There are no applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, no identified contracting officer or technical representative, no payment or invoicing instructions, and no formal evaluation factors or delivery schedules. The sole required documentation includes a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption, both of which have been submitted and approved. Inspection and acceptance are the responsibility of Caltrans District 12 at the project site, with no specific technical standards or quality benchmarks outlined beyond the environmental exemption framework. No Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required or provided, and the project proceeds under an administrative permit process without the need for competitive bidding or formal contract types.
