80 Foot – Guyed Tower

Tower Engineering Professionals (TEP) is pleased to provide this executive summary for the Phase I Scope of Work, which included a Maintenance and Condition Assessment, Capital Expenditure Table, Steel and Appurtenance

Mapping, and Structural Analysis for the above referenced site.

Maintenance and Condition Assessment

Overall Tower Condition (Excellent/Good/Average/Fair/Poor): Average*

Tower Type: 80-ft guyed tower

Tower Age: Approximately 20-30 years**

Number of Guy Wires: 2 Levels (39.7’, 79.7’)

Tower Access Road Condition: Good, no obstacles or issues encountered

A periodic inspection for the above referenced site was performed by Kyle Underhill, E.I. and Jeremiah Fox of TEP during the October 1st, 2015 site visit. The inspection was in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-222-G-2005, Annex J:

Maintenance and Condition Assessment (Normative). TEP observed the following checklist items requiring some measure of possible or required corrective action: 1) Structure Condition, 2) Finish, 3) Grounding, 4) Antennas and

Lines, 5) Guys, 6) Concrete Foundations, and 7)Tower Alignment. Refer to the Maintenance and Condition

Assessment Report for specific details.

*TEP defines the tower conditions as follows:

Excellent - The tower has sufficient capacity to carry the existing loads. No modifications are required at this time. In addition, the tower has no maintenance issues of note and doesn’t require maintenance repairs at this time.

Good - The tower has sufficient capacity to carry the existing loads. No modifications are required at this time. However, the tower has some maintenance issues of note that require attention.

Average - The tower does not have sufficient capacity to carry the existing loads. Modifications will be required to bring the tower into compliance with the

ANSI/TIA-222-G standard for the existing loading. In addition, the tower may have minor maintenance issues of note that require attention.

Fair - The tower does not have sufficient capacity to carry the existing loads. Modifications will be required to bring the tower into compliance with the ANSI/TIA-

222-G standard for the existing loading. In addition, the tower has maintenance issues of note that require attention. Based on the itemized estimate in our Capital

Expenditure Table, modifying the existing tower may be the most cost effective solution.

Poor - The tower does not have sufficient capacity to carry the existing loads. Modifications will be required to bring the tower into compliance with the ANSI/TIA-

222-G standard for the existing loading. In addition, the tower has maintenance issues of note that require attention. Based on the itemized estimate in our Capital

Expenditure Table and/or the condition of the tower, a full tower replacement may be the best solution.

**Tower Age was estimated based on tower identification tags, tower manufacturer information, tower research, type and condition of tower components, and/or historical site images

Condition Assessment of Non-Tower Assets

During the site visit, TEP conducted a visual inspection of all Non-Tower Owned Assets. TEP did not find any non-tower assets that require urgent corrective repairs. However, TEP recommends regular inspection and maintenance by licensed professionals based on manufacturer specifications. Refer to Section L of the Maintenance and Condition

Assessment Report for any applicable additional information.

Capital Expenditure Table

A cost estimate of $50,350 was provided to cover repairs as recommended in the Maintenance and Condition

Assessment Report and the Structural Analysis Report. The recommended repair schedule ranges from 6 months to 5 years. Note that this estimate does not include any foundation reinforcements that may be required. TEP cannot say with certainty that a replacement would be more cost effective than modifying the existing tower without completing a Structural Modification Design Analysis. For itemized repairs, refer to the Capital Expenditure Table for details. TEP estimated a ROM cost for full tower replacement would range from approximately $150,000 for a 100-ft guyed tower to $225,000 for a 300-ft guyed tower. These estimates do not include pricing for site specific costs related to zoning, permitting, environmental studies, etc.

Steel and Appurtenance Mapping

The original design criteria were unavailable for review. A Steel and Appurtenance Mapping was performed in order to obtain the necessary tower and appurtenance loading information needed to conduct the Structural Analysis for this site. The antennas recorded during our Steel and Appurtenance Mapping are depicted in the table below. TEP denoted the owner of the equipment under the “Owner/Tenant” column based on information available on site.

Refer to the Steel and Appurtenance Mapping Report for additional detail.

The Structural Analysis report outlines overstresses in the diagonals at the 40’ to 80’ elevations. TEP believes that the majority of the overstresses can be attributed to the more stringent loading and analysis criteria as required by the latest ANSI/TIA-222-G-2-2009 Standard, as compared to previous versions of the TIA Standard for which the tower was originally designed. Based on our analysis we have determined the tower stress level for each controlling component, under the following load case, to be:

80 Foot – Guyed Tower

Dear Ms. Schwalje, Tower Engineering Professionals (TEP) completed a periodic inspection for the above referenced site. The onsite investigation was performed by Kyle Underhill, E.I. and Jeremiah Fox of TEP during the October 1st, 2015 site visit. The inspection was in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-222-G-2005, Annex J: Maintenance and Condition Assessment

(Normative), including all addendums (addendums TIA-222-G-1 2007 and TIA 222-G-2 2009); the checklist can be found on pages 3 thru 8 of this report.

Observations and recommendations are listed herein. The inspection included observation of tower components and

CBP owned assets. For the purpose of this inspection, the tower legs were named by letter according to the magnetic azimuth defined by a line from the center of tower to the leg. “A” leg is the leg closest to magnetic north, followed clockwise by “B” and “C.” Guy wires were numbered from the ground up. Guy wires 1 thru 2 are at the 39.7-ft and

79.7-ft elevations respectively.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this service for you. If you have any questions or comments, please contact our office.

Engineering Firm Designation: TEP Project Number: 63591_37920

Site Data: 12.5± Miles West of Valentine, Jeff Davis County, TX 79854 Lat., Long.: 30.579800, -104.706600(N30°34'47.28'',W104°42'23.76'') 80 Foot - Guyed Tower Dear Ms. Schwalje, Tower Engineering Professionals is pleased to submit this “Structural Analysis Report” to determine the structural integrity of the above mentioned tower.

The purpose of the analysis is to determine acceptability of the tower stress level. Based on our analysis we have determined the tower stress level for the structure, under the following load case, to be:

LC1: Existing Equipment Insufficient Capacity Note: See Table 1 for the existing loading

The analysis has been performed in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-222-G-2-2009 Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas – Addendum 2 and the 2006 International Building Code based upon a wind speed of 90 mph 3-second gust and exposure category C.

All modifications and equipment proposed in this report shall be installed in accordance with the appurtenances listed in Table 1 and the attached drawings for the determined available structural capacity to be effective.

We at Tower Engineering Professionals appreciate the opportunity of providing our continuing professional services to you and HNTB - Halff JV. If you have any questions or need further assistance on this or any other projects please give us a call.

1) INTRODUCTION

This tower is an 80-ft guyed tower located in Jeff Davis County, Texas. The original design criteria were unavailable for review. TEP visited the site in October of 2015 to gather existing tower steel and appurtenance information. All other information provided to TEP was assumed to be accurate and complete.

2) ANALYSIS CRITERIA

The analysis has been performed in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-222-G-2-2009 Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas – Addendum 2 using a 3-second gust wind speed of 90 mph with no ice and 60 mph under service…
