Stone Beetland 69 kilovolt (kV) Project

The Stone Beetland 69kV Project involves upgrading approximately 0.55 mile of existing 12kV overhead line to 69kV along the northern boundary of the Stone Beetland development and constructing approximately 950 feet of new 69kV overhead line along the western boundary, including three new wood or metal poles. The upgraded and new lines will interconnect with existing 69kV infrastructure on Cosumnes River Boulevard to improve the reliability and operational flexibility of the regional electric system while accommodating future load growth. Construction activities are scheduled to occur during daylight hours from March through July 2026, with completion expected by the end of July. The project is being managed by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which serves as the lead agency and is responsible for oversight, inspection, and acceptance at the project site in Sacramento, California, specifically north of Cosumnes River Boulevard, south of Detroit Avenue, and west of the Morrison Creek light rail station. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303, eliminating the need for an environmental impact report; as such, a Notice of Exemption has been filed, along with a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and proof of prior environmental fee payment. The sole point of contact for project-related inquiries is Kim Crawford, Environmental Management Specialist at SMUD, with communications and submissions handled primarily through mail to P.O. Box 15830, Sacramento, CA 95852-0830. No contract value, pricing structure, funding codes, contract type, or standard federal acquisition clauses are specified in the available documentation, and no formal solicitation number has been issued, indicating this is a pre-solicitation forecast notice with a pending procurement process. There are no identified evaluation factors, award methodologies, delivery terms, packaging specifications, or invoicing procedures, and no federal representations or socioeconomic certifications apply given the public agency nature of the procuring entity.
