HUT - 131

The HUT-131 project, managed by Golden State Networks in Madera, California, involves Middle Mile Fiber Work to extend utility lines for residential and commercial customers. The scope of work centers on the construction of a 50-foot by 50-foot gravel covered compound, which includes the installation of a prefabricated equipment shelter to serve as a fiber connection point. Site improvements require a 7-foot fence with a 1-foot barb and two 6-foot swing gates, weed mitigation for the gravel yard, and the installation of a generator with a fully filled fuel tank. The project also necessitates trenching for conduit placement, with all areas restored to preconstruction conditions. The contractor is responsible for all site utilities, startup, testing, and closeout activities. Key deliverables include electronic PDF as-builts, operations and maintenance manuals, and final inspection certifications. Compliance requires passing all Authority Having Jurisdiction inspections, including electrical and foundation checks, and maintaining daily inspection logs. The project is exempt from CEQA review based on biological and cultural resource assessments. Technical requirements for personnel include OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER and RF Radiation Safety certifications, while strict confidentiality must be maintained regarding the location of identified historic resources.
