Intrusive Pole Inspection Services

The contract seeks qualified contractors to perform intrusive inspections of wood utility poles, requiring detailed base excavation, structural evaluation, and compliance verification against GO-95 standards. Work must include accurate field data collection and reconciliation with Geographic Information System records to ensure spatial accuracy and asset database integrity. All inspections must be conducted with precision to identify decay, creosote degradation, and load-bearing deficiencies that could compromise grid reliability. The scope demands adherence to industry best practices for pole safety and utility infrastructure preservation. This is a subcontract opportunity under NAICS code 541620, posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of September 2, 2026. Performance is expected within California under the oversight of the Engineering and Operations division, though specific city or zip details are not provided. Contractors must be prepared to mobilize equipment for excavation, conduct non-destructive and destructive testing as needed, and deliver documented findings that support asset management and regulatory compliance. There is no set-aside designation specified, and proposals should reflect technical expertise in utility pole inspection, GIS integration, and compliance with state and industry standards.
