TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF PUEBLO AND WDSL.US,LLC, TO CONSTRUCT
A RADIO TOWER AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT BUILDING

ISSUE
Should Council approve an agreement to begin construction of a radio tower as
part of the City's 800 MHz Radio Network project.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Agreement is to begin construction on a radio tower site on property
acquired from Robert Jackson for this purpose, and which was recently annexed
to the City. 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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This phase would be completed at a cost not to exceed $346,550, with
WDSL.US, LLC serving as local provider, installer, and project manager,
representing Motorola. Funds for this phase of the overall project are available
through a CSEPP grant the City has accepted through an Intergovernmental
Agreement with Pueblo County. The balance of $390,000 needed to complete
the second phase would be available from other grant funds or a general fund
appropriation.
