of the Contract Documents only if the Contractor clearly states and
highlights the proposed deviation in a prominent fashion on the shop
drawing itself, and only as specially stated in writing by the Customer, that
the Contract Document requirements are waived.

EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS
A.
Comply with NFPA 70, Article 250, for types, sizes, and quantities of equipment
grounding conductors, unless specific types, larger sizes, or more conductors than
required by NFPA 70 are indicated.
B.
Install equipment-grounding conductors in all feeders and circuits.
CONNECTIONS
A.
General: Make connections so galvanic action or electrolysis possibility is
minimized. Select connectors, connection hardware, conductors, and connection
methods so metals in direct contact will be galvanically compatible.
1.
Use electroplated or hot-tin-coated materials to ensure high conductivity
and to make contact points closer to order of galvanic series.
B.
Exothermic-Welded Connections:
Comply with manufacturer's written
instructions. Welds that are puffed up or that show convex surfaces indicating
improper cleaning are not acceptable.
C.
Equipment Grounding Conductor Terminations: For No. 8 AWG and larger, use
pressure-type grounding lugs. No. 10 AWG and smaller grounding conductors
may be terminated with winged pressure-type connectors.
D.
Noncontact Metal Raceway Terminations: If metallic raceways terminate at
metal housings without mechanical and electrical connection to housing,
terminate each conduit with a grounding bushing. Connect grounding bushings
with a bare grounding conductor to grounding bus or terminal in housing. Bond
electrically noncontinuous conduits at entrances and exits with grounding
bushings and bare grounding conductors, unless otherwise indicated.
E.
Tighten screws and bolts for grounding and bonding connectors and terminals
according to manufacturer's published torque-tightening values. If manufacturer's
torque values are not indicated, use those specified in UL 486A.

F.
Compression-Type Connections: Use hydraulic compression tools to provide
correct circumferential pressure for compression connectors. Use tools and dies
recommended by connector manufacturer. Provide embossing die code or other
standard method to make a visible indication that a connector has been adequately
compressed on grounding conductor.
G.
Moisture Protection: If insulated grounding conductors are connected to ground
rods or grounding buses, insulate entire area of connection and seal against
moisture penetration of insulation and cable.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
A.
Testing: Contractor will perform the following field quality-control testing:
B.
Testing: Perform the following field quality-control testing:
1.
2.
3.
After installing grounding system but before permanent electrical circuitry
has been energized, test for compliance with requirements.
Test completed grounding system at each location where a maximum
ground-resistance level is specified. Measure ground resistance at the
single point ground ensuring that resistance to ground does not exceed 10
ohms. Where the resistance to ground exceeds 10 ohms install an
additional 8 or 10 Ft. ground rod and retest. Repeat this process until the
10-ohm objective is met. If resistance to ground exceeds these values
notify Engineer promptly and include recommendations to reduce ground
resistance.
Provide drawings locating each ground rod and ground rod assembly and
other grounding electrodes, identify each by letter in alphabetical order,
and key to the record of tests and observations. Include the number of
rods driven and their approximate depth at each location. Describe
measures taken to improve test results.

- As requested by customer on 03/07, flex waveguide is provided for the Houston and Summit sites instead of waveguide
extension kits as it is not known at this time the exact placement of the radios into the existing racks. The flex waveguide
is part of the Bill of Material of Item 3.202 so does not need to be listed separately.
- Per the Frequency Coordination completed on 03/11/2016, the Chulitna to Bald to Douglas to Willow can only be
licensed with the channels on different polarity. As a result, 2 waveguide runs are now required per radio.

- A 2-port panel was supplied at Chulitna in Phase 1 where only 1 -port was used. However, the Chulitna radio now
requires an additional 2-ports for the new radio to Bald Mtn.
- There is an existing Entry Panel at Houston with available openings to accommodate the new WG run.

Mr. Sears:
Andrew P. Adams, PE Consulting Engineer is pleased to provide the structural analysis for the
existing tower foundation located at Site Summit, Alaska. Analysis for this project is based on
information from the original tower design drawings provided by the Alaska Railroad.
The original drawings are provided in an appendix to this report. The goal of this analysis is to
determine the suitability of the existing foundation to support a like-kind tower replacement. The
tower loading will be based on the following requirements.

Summary of Results:
Provisions in the International Existing Building Code 2009, which is currently is the governing state
code for existing structures, allows for structural modifications without detailed soil and foundation
analysis if certain limits are met. Per IEBC section 3403.3, there is a gravity load increase allowance of
5% and per IEBC section 3403.4, there is a lateral load increase allowance of 10% before modifications
are required. However, the original tower design was based on the EIA-222-E, and the current code
standards is TIA-222-G. Because of this code change, and additional load parameters requested by the
AKRR, the following configuration permits the maximum allowable loading for the existing foundation.
Minimum Wind Speed: 125 MPH no ice
60 MPH ½” ice

**The change in foundation reactions assumes the new tower will not have walking platforms.
The tower vendor may provide additional limitations to the loading based on the tower’s component
capacity.
Recommendations:
The results of the analysis show no modifications are required to the existing foundation. However, due
to some damage to the foundation anchorage, the tower foundation shall be repaired as shown on the
provided drawings.
Respectfully,
Andrew P. Adams, P.E.

HSS4.5x.237
40.0 ft
1. Tower designed for Exposure C to the TIA-222-G Standard.
2. Tower designed for a 125 mph basic wind in accordance with the TIA-222-G Standard.
3. Tower is also designed for a 60 mph basic wind with 0.25 in ice. Ice is considered to increase
in thickness with height.
4. Deflections are based upon a 60 mph wind.
5. Tower Structure Class II.
6. Topographic Category 2 with Crest Height of 1500.00 ft
7. Weld together tower sections have flange connections.
