Frontier Project 5288549

Frontier Communications plans to upgrade outdated copper infrastructure to broadband service in Modoc County, California, by installing approximately 1,985 feet of underground fiber optic cable along County Road 75. The installation will combine 1,314 feet of plowing and 671 feet of horizontal directional drilling to minimize surface disruption while ensuring reliable connectivity. Soil disturbance is expected at four bore pits and along the full plowing length, totaling about 3,028 square feet or 0.070 acres. The project is designed to enhance regional broadband access and support long-term telecommunications needs in the Alturas area. All work will be conducted in compliance with local regulations and environmental standards, with primary oversight managed by Modoc County and engineering coordination handled by Frontier’s internal team. The project is formally tracked under the identifier Frontier Project 5288549 and was posted as a forecast on June 11, 2026. The primary point of contact for county coordination is Sean Curtis, Interim Planning Director, reachable via phone or email, while Greg Bordelon of Verizon’s Engineering team serves as the technical liaison. The place of performance is clearly defined as Alturas, California, and all activities will occur within Modoc County’s jurisdiction. Although no solicitation number or NAICS code is listed, the project is recognized within California’s environmental compliance framework under CEQA, with additional documentation available through the provided public portal link.
