Service Cabinet Relocation; EA 08-1R590/PN 0825000087

The Service Cabinet Relocation project, identified by EA 08-1R590 and PN 0825000087, involves the relocation of existing pole-mounted service cabinets and pull boxes from the public right of way into the state right of way. Managed by Caltrans District 8, the work will take place at two specific locations along Routes 91 and 215 in Riverside County, California. The scope of work includes removing existing connections and installing new service pedestals with foundations, establishing connections via 3-inch conduit with conductors, and constructing 24-inch by 4-inch concrete pads for Type III cabinets. Technical specifications require conduit to be installed at a minimum depth of 18 inches under sidewalks or curved paved medians and 30 inches elsewhere below grade, while foundations in unpaved areas must sit 2 inches above grade. The project is entirely state-funded and is expected to involve ground disturbances through trenching and horizontal drilling. However, no utility relocations, connections to new infrastructure, or requirements for off-pavement driving, parking, or equipment staging areas are anticipated. Environmental compliance has been established, with the project receiving a CEQA Class 3(d) categorical exemption and a NEPA categorical exclusion, as no significant environmental impacts are expected. Administrative and environmental coordination is overseen by Caltrans District 8 personnel, including Kourtney Graves, Gabrielle Duff, and Julie Scriver.
