Hey Wendy -
So it appears that that alternatepole is owned byPG&E so unfortunately we won't be able to
utilize it.
However! Our vendor re-ran the structural calculation on the original location with more
detailed foundation drawings and it passed!
This was submitted back over to CalTrans on 10/18 so we are just pending their review and
approval.
Apologiesforthebackandforthhere!
I will keep you posted as your permit progresses but please let me know if you have any
questions in the meantime!
Thanks,

Howdy All - Nice to virtually meet you! It looks like we only have one outstanding camera to get permitted and installed for you.

Unfortunately we were unable to get those requested as-builts for this pole, however, a Flock Technician went out and took the needed measurements of the pole. Those measurements and images have been sent to our permitting vendor to complete the CalTrans required structural analysis for this location. This should take ~1-2 weeks to complete, then we can get that over to CalTrans so that they can continue their review of this permit request. I will keep you updated here as this location progresses but please feel free to refer to your Google Tracker (location details) and your Deployment Tracker (real-time updates) in the meantime.

Flock permitting is working to address the comments received from CalTrans D4. For the resubmittal, our permitting team is working on the Policy Exception Letter, CEQA exemption, and revised site plans. We have submitted the request to EBl (environmental consultant) to prepare and submit the CEQA exemption on Benicia’s behalf. EBl said it would take about 2 - 3 weeks to prepare the exemption application. Once it is prepared, they then have to post the CEQA exemption applicationto theCaliforniaStateClearinghousefor 30daysto allow the 30 days is up, EBl will produce a CEQA exemption document that we will then resubmit to CalTrans along with the policy exception letter and therevised siteplans.CalTranswill thenreview.
