AI Contract Overview

Pacific Gas and Electric Company is undertaking the replacement of aging natural gas distribution infrastructure within the CSUMB East Campus Housing Area in unincorporated Monterey County, California, to address safety concerns tied to outdated Aldyl “A” plastic pipelines manufactured before 1973, which have a known risk of cracking and failure following a 2011 incident in Cupertino. The project will remove approximately 27,543 linear feet of existing gas mains and 390 service lines, replacing them with modern polyethylene plastic pipelines to enhance system integrity, reduce the likelihood of emergencies, and ensure reliable gas delivery to campus residences and facilities. Work will be conducted in phases within existing utility easements and rights-of-way, using horizontal directional drilling and open trenching methods to limit disruption to paved roadways and surrounding areas. The project affects specific assessor’s parcel numbers within the East Campus Housing Area and aligns with PG&E’s broader statewide initiative to modernize aging gas infrastructure. The California State University, Monterey Bay Board of Trustees is involved solely in issuing a Right to Access permit and a Temporary Work Authorization permit to PG&E, allowing construction activities on campus property. The university’s role does not extend to approving or managing the technical aspects of the project, which remains under PG&E’s jurisdiction. Beneficiaries include campus residents and PG&E, as the upgraded system will improve long-term operational safety and reduce future maintenance burdens. All project details are documented in CEQA Supporting Documentation available for review at CSUMB’s Campus Planning and Development offices. The initiative supports ongoing public safety goals and infrastructure resilience consistent with utility modernization efforts across California.

Full Description

The proposed PG&E East Campus Gas Line Replacement project involves the replacement and upgrade of existing natural gas distribution infrastructure within the CSUMB East Campus Housing Area in unincorporated Monterey County, California. The project area includes Assessors Parcel Numbers (APNs) 031-101-031, 031-101-032, 031-171-033, and 031-181-056, and encompasses multiple residential streets within the East Campus Housing Area. The project is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Companys (PG&E) statewide initiative to replace aging Aldyl A plastic gas pipelines manufactured prior to 1973, which have a documented history of cracking and failure. The replacement program was initiated in response to safety concerns following a pipeline failure incident in Cupertino, California, in 2011. The proposed project consists of replacing approximately 27,543 linear feet of existing gas distribution main and 390 service connections with new polyethylene plastic pipelines. Work would occur primarily within existing paved roadway corridors and disturbed areas using a combination of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and open trenching construction methods to minimize surface disturbance. Construction activities would occur in multiple phases within the existing utility easements and rights-of-way. Please refer to Attachment A, CEQA Supporting Documentation, for additional project description information, available for review upon request at CSUMBs Campus Planning and Development offices. The purpose of the project is to reduce threats to the integrity of the natural gas distribution system, improve public safety, and enhance system reliability within the CSUMB East Campus Housing Area. The project would also ensure continued safe and efficient delivery of natural gas to residents and campus facilities and reduce the need for future emergency repairs and maintenance. The beneficiaries of the project include Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and residents of the CSUMB East Campus Housing Area on the California State University, Monterey Bay main campus. The project would provide long-term safety and reliability improvements to the local natural gas distribution system, consistent with PG&Es ongoing efforts to modernize critical utility infrastructure across California. CSU discretionary action related to this project is limited to the issuance of a Right to Access permit and a Temporary Work Authorization permit to PG&E to allow it to carry out the proposed improvements on the CSUMB campus.
