It is understood that the primary usage of the structure shall <br />remain as part of the DistricYs electric system and the installation of the WCF <br />equipment is a secondary function which may require modification to or replacement of <br />the existing structure. <br />The District will be responsible for developing the design loads for the structure and <br />performing the design of the structure which includes all equipment mounted on the <br />structure including the WCF equipment per the Washington Administrative Code 296- <br />46, the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and electric utility standards and <br />practices. The analysis will use WCF antenna loads and design provided by Altair. <br />Utility structures have long been exempt from the Uniform Building Code (UBC) under <br />section 101.3 of the 1997 code and the change to the International Building Code (IBC) <br />has not eliminated that exemption. Public utility structures are specifically exempt from <br />the provision of the IBC and as such design calculations are not required to be provided <br />to the permitting agency. District construction personnel or other designated qualified <br />electrical workers will be responsible for any work on the structure in and above the <br />electric supply space which involves work such as electric lines, equipment <br />modifications, installation of a new pole and/or installation or maintenance of antennas <br />and cable. The new or modifieci structure shall continue to be under the ownership of <br />the District. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 783-5606. <br />Sincerely, Z��t/1 <br />� � �L�L <br />oug aberman <br />Designer, Wireless Antenna Facilities <br />2320 Califomia Street • Everetl, WA • 98201 I Mailing Address: P,O.
