TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
PUEBLO AND WDSL.US, LLC, TO CONSTRUCT A RADIO TOWER AND
ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT BUILDING, IN THE AMOUNT OF $324,180, AND
AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME.
ISSUE
Should Council approve an agreement to begin construction of a radio tower as
part of the City's 800 MHz Radio Network project.
Approval of this Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Agreement is to begin construction on a radio tower site on property deeded
to the City of Pueblo for use by the Board of Water Works of Pueblo, Colorado
(BoWW). This portion of the project is the first of two phases to complete this
tower. When this first phase is complete, a tower will have been erected, an
equipment building will have been constructed, and utilities and access will be in
place. There will not be electronic equipment provided as part of this first phase;
equipment will be provided in the second phase, under a separate agreement.
The contractor, WDSL.US, LLC, is the sole authorized and certified Motorola
installer and representative in Pueblo County. Motorola is the sole provider for
equipment and engineering for the 800 MHz Radio Network, the specifications of
which apply to this tower.
The BoWW is prepared to provide the necessary easements to allow the City to
construct, operate, and maintain this radio tower.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This phase would be completed at a cost not to exceed $324,180. The second
phase would cost $390,000, with WDSL.US, LLC serving as local provider,
installer, and project manager, representing Motorola. There is $545,500
available to fund this project from a grant accepted by Council for this specific
purpose (Ordinance 7505, approved August 28, 2006). The balance needed to
complete phase two, approximately $168,680, would be available from other
grant funds or a general fund appropriation.
