It is understood that the primary usage of the structure shall <br /> remain as part of the District's electric system and the installation of the WCF equipment is a secondary function <br /> which may require modification to or replacement of the existing structure. <br /> The District will be responsible for developing the design loads for the structure and performing the design of the <br /> structure which includes all equipment mounted on the structure including the WCF equipment per the Washington <br /> Administrative Code 296-46,the National Electric Safety Code(NESC)and electric utility standards and practices. <br /> The analysis will use WCF antenna loads and design provided by T-Mobile. <br /> Utility structures have long been exempt from the Uniform Building Code(UBC)under section 101.3 of the 1997 <br /> code and the change to the International Building Code(IBC)in 2000 through 2015,under section 105.2.3 has not <br /> eliminated that exemption. Public utility structures are specifically exempt from the provision of the IBC and as <br /> such design calculations are not required to be provided to the permitting agency. However,the District <br /> acknowledges that WCF is a secondary function on the utility structure and the owner of such equipment will be <br /> required to comply with the county permitting and review process. District construction personnel or other <br /> designated qualified electrical workers will be responsible for any work on the structure in and above the electric <br /> supply space which involves work such as electric lines,equipment modifications,installation of a new pole and/or <br /> installation or maintenance of antennas and cable.The new or modified structure shall continue to be under the <br /> ownership of the District. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact me at(425)783-5681. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> aureen"Moe"Nave <br /> Manager,Joint Use and Permits <br /> 1802-75th Street S.W..Everett,WA.98203/Mailing Address:P.O.Box 1107.Everett,WA.98206-1107 <br /> 425-783-4300.Toll-free in Western Washington at 1-877-783-1000,extension 4300.www snopud.com <br />
