Utility Pole Replacement – Pole Installation & Removal

The contract involves the removal of three aging wood utility poles and the installation of new wood poles in a remote desert area, with a focus on enhancing structural stability through the use of plastic caissons for foundational support. This work is critical to maintaining reliable utility infrastructure in a challenging environment where soil conditions and climate may accelerate deterioration of traditional groundwork. The project is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 238210, indicating it falls within the electrical and other construction installation services category, and is being managed by the Fish and Wildlife, Region 6 - Inland Deserts office in California. All work must be conducted in a geographically isolated location, requiring specialized logistics, equipment, and personnel accustomed to operating in arid, off-grid conditions. The contract was posted on June 29, 2026, and while solicitation details are not provided, the location and nature of the work suggest requirements for environmental compliance, minimal surface disruption, and adherence to wildlife protection protocols given the agency’s focus on conservation. The absence of specific city, state, or ZIP details in the performance location implies a highly localized, possibly protected or restricted area, necessitating careful planning and coordination with regional authorities. Contractors must be prepared to handle transportation of materials over long distances, endure extreme temperatures, and ensure long-term durability of the new poles using the specified plastic caisson foundation system to mitigate future maintenance needs.
