Department: Mike Rice
Staff Contact PersonlPhone #: 797-0362
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of contract to remove the communications
tower owned by the county and located at the site of the Marathon Courthouse due to
structural damage.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The cost of the removal is $12, 000.00 which will be paid for
from the MCSO budget. This project did not go out to bid due to the potential for danger
to the public. Instead the Communications Department of the MSCO received quotes, this
is the lowest quote received.
The communications tower at the Marathon Courthouse has been inspected by the
engineering firm of Pate Engineering, Inc. The tower base and some supporting structures
are corroded to the point that the engineer recommends that the tower be removed. The
engineering firm does not believe the tower will withstand a local storm or a Class 1
Hurricane. This tower is approximately 200 feet tall, is supported by guy wires. It is a
very old tower and it is located near the Marathon Courthouse, the Marathon Library, the
Sheriff's Substation and adjacent parking.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACfION: In December 2006 the BOCC and MCSO
entered into an Interlocal Agreement for consolidation and management of the
Emergency Communications. As a result of that agreement certain personnel, funds, and
equipment were transferred to MCSO, with the BOCC retaining certain authority.

Re: Marathon Tower
Our Job #07-206
Dear Ms. White:
On September 21,2007, the above referenced tower was visited. The purpose was to confirm the
condition of the tower as outlined in our letter of September 13, 2007.
It was determined that the tower is a Rohn Model "C". This tower has a 24-inch (24") face width, the
diagonals are 1-inch (1") aD x 16 ga tubing and the legs are 2-1/4-inch (2-1/4") aD x 12 ga tubing, A
copy of the Rohn catalog page is attached for reference, As noted in the September 13 report, these are
very thin wall members,
A close inspection confirmed that the base plate is severely corroded and is exhibiting some upward
deflection, This is caused by the loss of section due to the severe corrosion, During this inspection, it
was determined that there is a drain hole drilled into the base plate which allows water collected in the
hollow leg to drain out. However, this also allowed water to collect around the base plate thus causing
the base plate to corrode,
A limited inspection was made of the base of the legs. This revealed that the inside of the leg members
were exhibiting corrosion also.
As noted previously, there is no way of predicting if or when this tower may fail. It is my opinion that it
would not survive a local storm or Class 1 hurricane, The tower is located near several building,
This visit has reinforced my opinion that this tower should be taken down as soon as possible,
Several possible temporary methods for reinforcing the base plate were discussed with Roger, the tech
present. His idea of placing shims or plates between the bottom of the base plate and concrete pad
seems practical and speedy, It is my opinion that this is an acceptable temporary solution. These shims
should be centered under the tower legs. Field measurement indicates the plate shims should be about
1.1/4.inch (1-1/4") thick and 3-inches (3") wide by 4-inches to 4-1/2-inches (4" - 4-1/2") long. These
dimensions should be field verified, Minimum force should be used to place the shims. They should not
be driven into place. After they are in place, they may be tack welded. This will require cleaning enough
rust off the base plate for a tack to hold.

The tower contractor hired to unstack this tower should be experienced in this type of work. I suggest
the work be done when the buildings are not occupied, Also, the contractor should submit certificates
of insurance in an amount to be determined by Monroe County. The contract should state what items
are to be disposed of such as tower antennas, mounts, lines, etc. and who is responsible for and pays
for such disposal.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the writer.

was determined that there is a drain hole drilled into the base plate which allows water collected in the
hollow leg to drain out. However, this also allowed water to collect around the base plate thus causing
the base plate to corrode.
A limited inspection was made of the base of the legs. This revealed that the inside of the leg members
were exhibiting corrosion also,
As noted previously, there is no way of predicting if or when this tower may fail. It is my opinion that it
would not survive a local storm or Class 1 hurricane. The tower is located near several building,
This visit has reinforced my opinion that this tower should be taken down as soon as possible,
Several possible temporary methods for reinforcing the base plate were discussed with Roger, the tech
present. His idea of placing shims or plates between the bottom of the base plate and concrete pad
seems practical and speedy. It is my opinion that this is an acceptable temporary solution. These shims
should be centered under the tower legs, Field measurement indicates the plate shims should be about
1-1/4-inch (1-1/4") thick and 3-inches (3") wide by 4-inches to 4-1I2-inches (4" - 4-112") long. These
dimensions should be field verified, Minimum force should be used to place the shims, They should not
be di-iven into place. After they are in place, they may be tack welded. This will require cleaning enough
rust off the base plate for a tack to hold.

Re: Our Job #07-206

The tower contractor hired to unstack this tower should be experienced in this type of work. I suggest
the work be done when the buildings are not occupied, Also, the contractor should submit certificates
of insurance in an amount to be determined by Monroe County. The contract should state what items
are to be disposed of such as tower antennas, mounts, lines, etc, and who is responsible for and pays
for such disposal.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the writer.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: October 17. 2007
Division: Momoe COWlty Sheriff's Office
Bulk Item: Yes
No
Department: Mike Rice
Staff Contact PersonIPhone #: 797-0362
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of contract to remove the communications
tower owned by the COWlty and located at the site of the Marathon Courthouse due to
structural damage.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The cost of the removal is $12, 000.00 which will be paid for
from the MCSO budget. This project did not go out to bid due to the potential for danger
to the public. Instead the Communications Department of the MSCO received quotes, this
is the lowest quote received.
The communications tower at the Marathon Courthouse has been inspected by the
engineering firm of Pate Engineering, Inc. The tower base and some supporting structures
are corroded to the point that the engineer recommends that the tower be removed. The
engineering firm does not believe the tower will withstand a local storm or a Class I
Hurricane. This tower is approximately 200 feet tall, is supported by guy wires. It is a
very old tower and it is located near the Marathon Courthouse, the Marathon Library, the
Sheriff's Substation and adjacent parking.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: In December 2006 the BOCC and MCSO
entered into an Interlocal Agreement for consolidation and management of the
Emergency Communications. As a result of that agreement certain personnel, funds, and
equipment were transferred to MCSO, with the BaCC retaining certain authority.

Attn: Ms. Laura White
Re; Marathon Tower
Our Job #07-206
Dear Ms. White:
On September 21, 2007, the above referenced tower was visited. The purpose was to confirm the
condition of the tower as outlined in our letter of September 13, 2007.
It was determined that the tower is a Rohn Model "C". This tower has a 24-inch (24") face width, the
diagonals are 1-inch (1") 00 x 16 ga tubing and the legs are 2-1/4-inch (2-1/4") 00 x 12 ga tubing. A
copy of the Rohn catalog page is attached for reference. As noted in the September 13 report, these are
very thin wall members.
A close inspection confirmed that the base plate is severely corroded and is exhibiting some upward
deflection. This is caused by the ]055 of section due to the severe corrosion. During this inspection, it
was determined that there is a drain hole drilled into the base plate which allows water collected in the
hollow leg to drain out. However, this also allowed water to collect around the base plate thus causing
the base plate to corrode.
A limited inspection was made of the base of the legs. This revealed that the inside of the leg members
were exhibiting corrosion also.
As noted previously, there is no way of predicting if or when this tower may fail. It is my opinion that it
would not survive a local storm or Class 1 hurricane. The tower is located near several building.
This visit has reinforced my opinion that this tower should be taken down as soon as possible.
Several possible temporary methods for reinforcing the base plate were discussed with Roger, the tech
present. His idea of placing shims or plates between the bottom of the base plate and concrete pad
seems practical and speedy. It is my opinion that this is an acceptable temporary solution. These shims
should be centered under the tower legs. Field measurement indicates the plate shims should be about
1-1/4-inch (1-1/4") thick and 3-inches (3") wide by 4-inches to 4-1/2-inches (4" - 4-1/2") long. These

Re: Marathon Tower
Our Job #07-206
Dear Ms. White:
On September 21, 2007, the above referenced tower was visited. The purpose was to confirm the
condition of the tower as outlined in our letter of September 13, 2007.
It was determined that the tower is a Rohn Model "C". This tower has a 24-inch (24") face width, the
diagonals are 1-inch (1") 00 x 16 ga tubing and the legs are 2-1/4-inch (2-1/4") 00 x 12 ga tubing. A
copy of the Rohn catalog page is attached for reference. As noted in the September 13 report, these are
very thin wall members.
A close inspection confirmed that the base plate is severely corroded and is exhibiting some upward
deflection. This is caused by the loss of section due to the severe corrosion. During this inspection, it
was determined that there is a drain hole drilled into the base plate which allows water collected in the
hollow leg to drain out. However, this also allowed water to collect around the base plate thus causing
the base plate to corrode.
A limited inspection was made of the base of the legs. This revealed that the inside of the leg members
were exhibiting corrosion also.
As noted previously, there is no way of predicting if or when this tower may fail. It is my opinion that it
would not survive a local storm or Class 1 hurricane. The tower is located near several building.
This visit has reinforced my opinion that this tower should be taken down as soon as possible.
Several possible temporary methods for reinforcing the base plate were discussed with Roger, the tech
present. His idea of placing shims or plates between the bottom of the base plate and concrete pad
seems practical and speedy. It is my opinion that this is an acceptable temporary solution. These shims
should be centered under the tower legs. Fjeld measurement indicates the plate shims should be about
1-1/4-inch (1-1/4") thick and 3-inches (3") wide by 4-inches to 4-1l2-inches (4" - 4-1/2") long. These
dimensions should be field verified. Minimum force should be used to place the shims. They should not
be driven into place. After they are in place, they may be tack welded. This will require cleaning enough
rust off the base plate for a tack to hold.

diagonals are 1-inch (1") 00 x 16 ga tubing and the legs are 2-1/4-inch (2-1/4") 00 x 12 ga tubing. A
copy of the Rohn catalog page is attached for reference. As noted in the September 13 report, these are
very thin wall members.
A close inspection confirmed that the base plate is severely corroded and is exhibiting some upward
deflection. This is caused by the loss of section due to the severe corrosion. During this inspection, it
was determined that there is a drain hole drilled into the base plate which allows water collected in the
hollow leg to drain out. However, this also allowed water to collect around the base plate thus causing
the base plate to corrode.
A limited inspection was made of the base of the legs. This revealed that the inside of the leg members
were 'exhibiting corrosion also.
As noted previously, there is no way of predicting if or when this tower may fail. It is my opinion that it
would not survive a local storm or Class 1 hurricane. The tower is located near several building.
This visit has reinforced my opinion that this tower should be taken down as soon as possible.
Several possible temporary methods for reinforcing the base plate were discussed with Roger, the tech
present. His idea of placing shims or plates between the bottom of the base plate and concrete pad
seems practical and speedy. It is my opinion that this is an acceptable temporary solution. These shims
should be centered under the tower legs. Field measurement indicates the plate shims should be about
1-1/4-inch (1-1/4") thick and 3-inches (3") wide by 4-inches to 4-1/2-inches (4" - 4-1/2") long. These
dimensions should be field verified. Minimum force should be used to place the shims. They should not
be d"riven into place, After they are in place, they may be tack welded. This will require cleaning enough
rust off the base plate for a tack to hold.

The tower contractor hired to unstack this tower should be experienced in this type of work. I suggest
the work be done when the buildings are not occupied. Also, the contractor should submit certificates
of insurance in an amount to be determined by Monroe County. The contract should state what items
are to be disposed of such as tower antennas, mounts, lines, etc. and who is responsible for and pays
for such disposal.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the writer.
