San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat San Jacinto River Grid Resiliency Project for TD1754978/TD2314201 AND TD1752875 (California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take P

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Southern California Edison to conduct infrastructure upgrades along the San Jacinto River in Riverside County under California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2025-041-06, issued pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602. The project, known as the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat San Jacinto River Grid Resiliency Project, involves replacing 12 utility poles, installing new caissons at six of those locations, replacing three anchors, installing one new anchor, and applying conductor covers to enhance system reliability and safety. All work is conducted within a designated habitat range between Wilson Way and the confluence of Dry Creek and Strawberry Creek, with strict adherence to environmental protections for the federally listed San Bernardino kangaroo rat. The permitted activities are executed under CEQA categorical exemptions for emergency repairs and maintenance of existing utility infrastructure, ensuring compliance with regulatory timelines and conditions tied to the permit. The responsible government contact is Eric Chan of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, while Hazem Gabr of Southern California Edison serves as the primary project representative overseeing implementation. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or standard procurement terms such as FAR clauses, payment details, invoicing methods, or accounting identifiers are included in the documentation. The project is framed as an environmental permit action rather than a traditionally awarded contract, with no solicitation number, contract type, or formal clause set identified. There is no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, nor are there specifications for packaging, inspection criteria, quality standards, or acceptance protocols beyond implicit alignment with emergency repair exemptions. Representations regarding small business status, socioeconomic certifications, Unique Entity ID, or CAGE codes are not provided. Contract administration functions are informally assigned through point-of-contact roles with no formal COR, COTR, or PCO designations. Special requirements center on mitigation measures for endangered species protection and adherence to permit conditions, with no mention of security, conflict of interest provisions, or contractual options. The project was authorized with a signed notice of exemption on October 6, 2025, and publicly posted on October 7, 2025, with no solicitation or procurement process initiated.
