Eureka Phase 2 Fiber-to-the- Home Project

The California Public Utilities Commission is advancing the Eureka Phase 2 Fiber-to-the-Home Project to expand and modernize telecommunications infrastructure in Eureka, California, with the goal of significantly improving wireless and broadband connectivity for residents and businesses. This initiative focuses on deploying fiber-optic networks directly to individual homes to deliver faster, more reliable internet services, addressing existing gaps in high-speed access across the region. The project is positioned as a forecasted procurement, indicating future contracting activity, and is being managed under the oversight of the agency’s CEQA Project Manager, Andrew Chan, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. Performance of the work is exclusively located within Eureka, with a designated ZIP code of 95501, ensuring targeted development in this specific community. Although the solicitation number, NAICS code, and set-aside details are not yet defined, the project reflects a state-driven effort to enhance digital infrastructure and bridge the broadband divide in rural and underserved areas of California.
