Renewal of Existing Verizon Wireless Facility, County File #CDWA25-00009

Contra Costa County has approved a land use permit for the renewal of an existing Verizon Wireless telecommunications facility located in the public right-of-way along Marsh Creek Road in Clayton, California. The project involves the removal of a 30-foot utility pole and the installation of a new 43-foot replacement pole at the same location, along with the removal and replacement of all associated antennas and radio equipment. The work is limited to maintaining the existing telecommunications function without expanding capacity or altering the facility’s footprint, and it qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15302(b), which allows for the replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems with no significant environmental impact. The permit was issued on July 21, 2025, and the project was publicly posted on July 24, 2025, with the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development serving as the lead agency overseeing compliance and approval. The project does not constitute a formal federal contract and therefore includes no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, solicitation numbers, pricing details, evaluation factors, or contracting officer representation. There are no specified performance timelines, payment terms, invoicing methods, or accounting identifiers, and no formal bids or competitive procurement process is indicated, as this is classified as a ministerial action under state environmental law. The applicant, Matthew Norton of NextEdge Networks acting on behalf of Verizon Wireless, is the primary point of contact for project execution, while Chloe Partain of the County’s Department of Conservation and Development serves as the primary administrative contact. The site is located in unincorporated Clayton, with specific coordinates tied to the public right-of-way adjacent to 14101 Marsh Creek Road. No additional attachments, certifications, or special requirements beyond the CEQA exemption documentation are formally cited, and the project proceeds under local land use authority without federal procurement oversight.
