Haskell Canyon Switching Station Security Upgrade

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is initiating the Haskell Canyon Switching Station Security Upgrade project in Santa Clarita, California. The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance the facility's ability to detect and prevent safety breaches through the installation and upgrading of comprehensive physical security measures. Key technical deliverables include the implementation of security cameras, alarm-activated perimeter lighting, perimeter intrusion detection systems, and gunshot detection capabilities. Additionally, the project will incorporate vehicle speed reduction measures at entrance gates and tamper mechanisms for critical electrical vaults. The project is located at the Haskell Canyon Switching Station on the City Highline Motorway Fire Road, with access via 21450 Copper Hill Drive. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been declared categorically exempt under Section 15301, Class 1, as it involves minor alterations to existing public utility facilities to add safety and health protection devices without expanding the facility's use. This forecast is associated with NAICS code 561621 and is managed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
