AI Contract Overview

Verizon Wireless has applied for Use Permit 23-0006 to construct, operate, and maintain an unmanned commercial telecommunications facility on a 40-foot by 60-foot leased parcel in Bella Vista, Shasta County, California. The facility will include a 100-foot monopine tower with a tri-sector antenna mount supporting nine antennas, two microwave dish antennas, six remote radio units, and ancillary ground equipment such as a 30-kilowatt diesel backup generator with a 203-gallon fuel tank. Additional site improvements include widening the existing access driveway from 12 to 14 feet in designated sections, constructing an all-weather gravel access road, and installing underground power and fiber optic utilities with five pull boxes placed at 300-foot intervals. The applicant is seeking an exception to standard landscape requirements to omit vegetation screening for ground equipment. All construction and operation must comply with FCC RF exposure regulations, Shasta County noise ordinances, the California Building Code, and wildfire safety standards including defensible space requirements under California Public Resources Code § 4291. Environmental and operational compliance is strictly regulated through enforceable conditions tied to the permit. Construction is restricted to September 1 through January 31 annually to avoid bird nesting season, requiring pre-construction biological surveys if work occurs outside this window. Trenches and excavations must be covered daily or fitted with wildlife exit ramps, and a wildlife inspection is mandatory before backfilling. RF safety measures include restricted tower access to trained personnel only and signage at all entry points. A Hazardous Materials Business Plan is required due to the diesel fuel storage. External lighting must be motion-activated, limited to five 100-watt LED fixtures, and compliant with county zoning standards. The project is subject to CEQA review and has been determined to have less-than-significant environmental impacts with incorporated mitigation, supporting a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with oversight by Shasta County’s Department of Resource Management, and the public comment period closed with a hearing scheduled for September 11, 2025. No federal acquisition clauses, contract pricing, payment details, or socioeconomic certifications are present, as this is a local land-use permit governed by state and county regulations rather than a federal procurement action.

Full Description

The project is a use permit application to construct, operate, and maintain an unmanned commercial wireless telecommunications facility within a 40-foot by 60-foot ground lease area on an undeveloped parcel. The project site is accessed by an existing 12 to14-foot wide, 1,300-foot-long unimproved driveway. The equipment and tower would be constructed on a previously-disturbed portion of the subject property, at the apex of a hill approximately 1,376 feet in elevation. The lease area would be graded and enclosed by an 8-foot-tall chain-link fence and gate. Proposed improvements include a 100-foot-tall co-locatable monopine tower with one (1) tri-sector antenna mount with three (3) antennas per sector, two (2) microwave dishes and six (6) remote radio units (RRUs). Ancillary equipment, including one (1) surge suppressor, would be installed on the tower to augment the wireless telecommunication service. Three (3) outdoor equipment cabinets, one (1) telco box, a 400A meter bank, 200A Verizon meter, one (1) surge suppressor, a PG&E transformer, and a 30-kilowatt diesel backup generator with a 203-gallon diesel fuel tank would also be constructed within the lease area. The equipment area would be lighted by five (5) L.E.D work lights with motion sensor control. Improvements outside of the lease area would include a new connection to an existing power pole on Sugar Pine Camp Road, and installation of an underground utility power line and a fiber optic cable with five (5) pull boxes spaced every 300 feet along the driveway to the project site. Construction of an approximately 1,300-foot-long all-weather gravel access driveway within a proposed 14-foot-wide access and utility easement would include grading to widen the existing driveway to 14 feet in certain places where the driveway is only 12 feet wide and to construct two (2) turnouts to meet fire safety standards. Approximately 43,935 square-feet (just over 1 acre) of grading is proposed to prepare the project site for construction, to trench for utilities, and to bring the driveway into conformance with the fire safety standards. A stockpile area within the lease area is proposed for temporary storage of graded material before it is hauled off-site. Erosion and sediment control measures during construction are proposed and include a stabilized construction entrance at the base of Sugar Pine Hill Road, and fiber rolls and silt fence installation along the driveway. Excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, trenchers, dump trucks, cranes and similar equipment could all be used for site preparation activities and construction, including clearing, grubbing, and approximately 3,724 cubic yards of grading, trenching, excavation and backfilling for installation of all facility structures, ancillary equipment, fencing, utilities installation (electricity and fiber optic), and driveway construction. The applicant is requesting an exception from the landscape requirements of the Shasta County Code which requires landscaping to be provided and maintained for the life of the facility to screen any ground structures or equipment.
