TD2124960 Rock Creek Road Deteriorated Pole Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-FRE-58153-R4)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Southern California Edison Company to remove and replace one H-frame structure housing two deteriorated 60-foot wood utility poles with two new 70-foot composite poles at a location in Fresno County, approximately 70 feet north of Dinkey Creek Road and 0.8 mile northwest of the intersection of Dinkey Creek Road and Exchequer Drive. This activity is governed under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Notification No. EPIMS-FRE-58153-R4, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, and qualifies for a CEQA Class 1 categorical exemption due to its minimal environmental impact and lack of expansion of existing utility use. The project involves no significant change in the nature or scope of the utility infrastructure and is subject to compliance with the terms stipulated in the agreement to protect aquatic resources. The work will be conducted by Southern California Edison under the oversight of the agency’s Habitat Conservation Planning Branch, with Benessa Galvan identified as the primary environmental contact and Warnetta Logan as the contractor’s project manager. No federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, as this is a state-level environmental authorization rather than a competitive federal procurement. There is no stated contract value, payment details, or formal contract type, and no specific delivery schedule, packaging, marking, or inspection criteria beyond adherence to the approved agreement. The submission relies on regulatory notifications rather than a formal bidding process, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic disclosures from the contractor are included in the documentation. All activities are confined to the specified location within the tributary to Glen Meadow Creek, with no additional work scope or performance requirements beyond the pole replacement.
