SCE Encroachment Permit 12-25-6-US-0512

Southern California Edison is undertaking the replacement of a single deteriorated utility pole identified as 1352374E located on State Route 39 at Post Mile 16.43 in Buena Park, California, within the state right-of-way and disturbing less than one acre of soil. The project is funded entirely by private funds and administered by Caltrans District 12 - Orange under the encroachment permit numbered 12-25-6-US-0512. Environmental compliance is established through a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15301(b), applicable to routine maintenance of existing utility facilities, eliminating the need for a full environmental review under CEQA. The sole required submission includes a completed Notice of Exemption form and a certified document of exemption finding, to be submitted either to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento or the County Clerk’s Office in Santa Ana, though no submission deadline is specified. The work is confined to the specified location with no additional performance criteria, delivery schedules, or contract line items outlined. No formal contract clauses, pricing, invoicing methods, payment details, or federal acquisition regulation provisions are present, and no contractor has been named. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at the project site by Caltrans, though no formal quality standards or inspection protocols are detailed. The lead contact for environmental compliance is Sunny Saroa, Associate Environmental Planner, but no official contracting officer, technical representative, or corporate representation such as UEI or CAGE codes are provided. The posting date of July 30, 2025, indicates a forecasted action rather than an active procurement, and no evaluation factors, award basis, or socioeconomic set-asides apply. The project is treated as a minimal-impact, exempt administrative activity under state environmental law without triggering federal contracting requirements.
