Wireless Permit No. 25-003, Coastal Development Permit No. 25-095, and Categorical Exemption No. 25-184

The project involves modifying an existing T-Mobile wireless facility on a Southern California Edison wood utility pole located at 23816.5 Malibu Crest Drive in Malibu, California, with no changes to the 43-foot pole height or underground equipment vault. The work includes removing one panel antenna, one mounting arm, and one equipment shroud, and installing a new side-mounted antenna approximately eight inches in diameter, along with associated cabling, an electrical shutoff switch, and replacement of the existing radio unit in the vault with an equivalent device. No excavation, trenching, or new ground-mounted infrastructure is proposed; all modifications are confined to the existing pole structure and vault. In addition to permits from the City of Malibu, the applicant must secure approval from Southern California Edison for use of the pole. The project was processed under the California Environmental Quality Act as a categorical exemption under Sections 15301(e) and 15303(e), confirming it qualifies as a minor alteration to an existing facility without significant environmental impact. The permitting action is administrative and ministerial, with no competitive solicitation, pricing, or federal acquisition regulations applicable. The City of Malibu serves as the approving authority, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site, and no federal contract clauses, payment details, contracting officer representatives, or socioeconomic certifications are involved or referenced. The application was filed as a forecast with no formal solicitation or contract number, and while the project was signed on March 19, 2026, no performance timeline, delivery schedule, or cost estimates are provided.
