Shasta County Fiber Optic Re-route

The Shasta County Fiber Optic Re-route project, managed by the Shasta County Department of Public Works, involves the construction of new conduit pathways and the installation of ground boxes to support fiber optic connectivity. The project is located in Redding, California, specifically bounded by Butte Street to the north, Placer Street to the south, West Street to the west, and Court Street to the east. The primary objective is to establish connectivity between several key county facilities, including the Administration Building Data Center (SCAC), Fleet Services, Public Defender, Public Works/Resource Management, Superior Court, and the Level 1 basement of the Jail. Classified under NAICS code 237130, the project is characterized as the replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems with negligible or no expansion of capacity. Due to this nature, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under 14 CCR section 15302. C. Troy Bartolomei, the Director of Public Works, serves as the primary point of contact and the agency official carrying out the project. The forecast was posted on December 17, 2025.
