Intermountain Infrastructure Group (IIG) - Polhemus Road Fiber Infrastructure Project

The California Public Utilities Commission has forecasted a telecommunications infrastructure project on Polhemus Road in San Mateo, California, aiming to upgrade wireless and broadband capabilities through the installation of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) conduit system. The project entails laying 10,237 linear feet of HDPE conduit using directional boring techniques, which will house fiber-optic cables to support high-speed data transmission. In conjunction with the conduit installation, the scope includes the construction of 14 manholes and four handholes to facilitate future maintenance and access to the underground fiber network. Additional work involves excavating 31 bore pits and 577 linear feet of open trench to initially position the conduits and connect them to existing infrastructure. All activities are designed to minimize surface disruption while ensuring long-term operability and scalability of the telecommunications network. The project is managed under the authority of the California Public Utilities Commission, with Andrew Chan serving as the primary point of contact as CEQA Analyst. The forecast was posted on July 9, 2026, and the work will be performed entirely within San Mateo, California. While no solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside details are provided, the project is positioned as an infrastructure enhancement effort under the Commission's purview, likely in alignment with state-wide broadband expansion goals. The use of directional boring and limited open trenching indicates a focus on reducing environmental and community impact during construction.
