Right of Entry Permit to MasTec Communications Group for Fiber Optic Maintenance

MasTec Communications Group has been granted a right of entry permit by the California Department of Parks and Recreation to conduct limited fiber optic cable maintenance within the Union Pacific Railroad right of way at Refugio State Beach in Goleta, California. The work is restricted to splicing between existing manholes and associated maintenance activities, with no expansion of facilities or physical disturbance to State Park property. All operations must comply with Departmental policies and standard best management practices to ensure no impact on sensitive natural resources, aligning with a categorical exemption under CCR 15300.4 for routine maintenance of existing infrastructure. The permit is administrative in nature, issued under a non-competitive process, and does not involve traditional procurement elements such as pricing, contract clauses, evaluation factors, or formal delivery schedules. The place of performance is clearly defined within the UPR right of way, and the project is overseen by Katharine Wilson, Chief Planner at the Channel Coast District, who serves as the primary point of contact. No financial terms, accounting codes, payment instructions, inspection criteria, or contractor certifications are included in the documentation, reflecting the minimal scope and regulatory exemption status of this permit.
