10 <br />3.8 Site And Environmental Considerations <br />3.8.1 There are no site or environmental considerations to report at this time. <br />When the coating on the exterior of the tower is completely replaced, <br />full containment will be required. <br />3.9 Telecommunications Considerations <br />3.9.1 The tower has some telecommunications equipment, including antennas, <br />coaxial cables, support brackets and other miscellaneous equipment. <br />The Owner is advised to maintain accurate records of each of the <br />antenna sites on the tower, including As -Built Drawings, site manager <br />and owner contact information, upgrades performed, and future plans for <br />antenna installations or upgrades. These records will help facilitate the <br />future reconditioning with a minimal amount of effort on the Owner's <br />part. <br />3.9.2 Working around and protecting the telecommunications equipment, <br />including antennas, coaxial cables, support brackets, and other <br />miscellaneous equipment during future reconditioning will incur <br />additional costs. The antenna owner(s) should be responsible for these <br />expenses under clause(s) in the antenna lease agreements. These costs <br />are not included in the Engineer's Cost Estimate, as they vary <br />considerably from tower to tower. <br />3.9.3 Prior to reconditioning, in accordance with the lease requirements of <br />each antenna owner, the City of Lino Lakes should notify the <br />telecommunications owners or manager of the work to be performed. <br />The City should also determine whether: a) the antenna owners will pay <br />the additional costs to work around and protect the antennas; b) the <br />antenna owners will temporarily remove their antennas and associated <br />equipment to facilitate reconditioning; or c) the City of Lino Lakes will <br />have to pay for these costs themselves. <br />3.9.4 In the drywell tube, one cluster of cables is routed along and attached to <br />the ladder side rail, and one cluster of cables is attached with stud <br />welded stand-off brackets. See photos 25 and 26. Replace the stud <br />welded brackets with brackets similar to those shown in KLM Drawing <br />No. 42. All cables should be rerouted to the new brackets upon <br />reinstallation, once reconditioning work is completed. <br />3.9.5 The antenna support frames on the roof are attached by stud welding. <br />There are also unused antenna mast pipes near the handrail. See photos <br />43 through 46. Seal weld the antenna framing to the roof, and remove <br />the antenna panels from the handrail and reattach them to the existing <br />mast pipes. <br />
