The work will be solicited with a bid option to determine the most cost effective reinforcement option for the structure. The base bid will be based on the following work: Existing double angles 2L2.5”x2.5”x0.25” need to be replaced with 2L3”x3”x0.25” double angles from 19’ to 38’. Also existing double angles 2L2”x2”x0.25” need to be replaced with 2L2.5”x2.5”x0.25” double angles from 95’ to 114’. All double angles at diagonal and horizontal locations must be bolted at 36” centers along its length using 5/8” diameter bolts with associated hardware and spacer blocks. Spacing block thickness is unknown and will need to be field verified. All tower material is to be A36 steel. In addition to the tower reinforcement the tower must also be repaired, the repairs include install (4) corner and (2) line posts to delineate limits of generator and propane tank, foundation repairs at each tower leg, weather seal top of anchor bolts at Leg B, install lightning rod and ground lead, replace missing anchor rod nut locking devices all Legs, check and torque as necessary anchor rod nuts all Legs, install safety climb device, replace all corroded guy hardware at all heights specifically kellum grip attachments, check and tighten all mount hardware for entire tower height,, perform corrosion control for full tower height, replace missing or improperly installed locking devices at 19’ and 152’ and replace bent or missing step bolts for entire tower height. The tower repair does not include replacement or repair of antennas noted and does not include fence installation in General Repair Report. All repair locations and additional information can be found in General Repair Report.
