Department of Energy <br /> Bonneville Power Administration <br /> P.O. Box 61409 <br /> fir .krVancouver,WA 98666-1409 <br /> t <br /> TRANSMISSION SERVICES <br /> October 29,2018 <br /> In reply refer to: TELP/TPP-4 <br /> City of Everett <br /> Attn:Permit Services <br /> 3200 Cedar Street <br /> 2nd Floor <br /> Everett,WA 98201 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> The Bonneville Power Administration(BPA)is currently working with New Cingular Wireless PCS,LLC(AT&T) <br /> to upgrade a wireless communication facility on a government-owned structure. The site is named"I-5&75th"and <br /> is located on BPA's tower no.5/6 of its Snohomish—Beverly Park no. 3 line,site no.SN35. BPA has developed a <br /> co-location program whereby we allow wireless companies to locate antenna facilities on our structures. This is in <br /> keeping with the Telecommunications Act,which encourages agencies to make their facilities available for co- <br /> location. <br /> Because BPA's transmission facilities and structures are federal property,BPA is not required to obtain county or <br /> local permits to install or replace facilities on its system,including the PCS equipment. Nevertheless,BPA itself <br /> tries to comply with local requirements to the extent possible and consistent with its operational needs. BPA urges <br /> telecommunication providers to work with local jurisdictions to provide project information and obtain whatever <br /> permits they deem are needed. We are asking AT&T to make available to you any pertinent information regarding <br /> this installation on federal property. <br /> The information AT&T submits to BPA on the design,types,and numbers of antennas and other tower <br /> appurtenances will be used by BPA to evaluate the suitability of this PCS wireless facility for installation on this <br /> particular structure. BPA must ensure that the pending site installation does not violate our responsibilities to <br /> maintain the stability and reliability of the federal electric transmission system in the Pacific Northwest. <br /> BPA will be evaluating the structural loading on the tower based on the information provided by AT&T for this PCS <br /> wireless installation. Using this information,the EIA/TIA Standard EIA-222-H Section 14.1 Standard and Annex E, <br /> and the National Electric Safety Code,BPA's qualified engineers closely evaluate all installation parameters. When <br /> completed,the structural design and installation(both on the structure and ground radio equipment)will comply <br /> with all recognized national codes and meet all utility code and industry requirements. <br /> If you have any questions concerning this matter,feel free to contact me at(360)619-6904. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 92/L___ /of 1" s <br /> Jonathan Toobian <br /> Program Manager <br />
