COMMUNICATION STRUCTURES

Engineered for excellent value and design flexibility, Valmont's self supporting towers employ
a variety of componenis to configure reliable structures meeting the needs of many of
today's wireless tower installations.

* For optimal customer value, Valmont engineers select single-
member legs or a combination of single-member and truss-
style legs, depending on the tower mission and customer
specifications. Depending on load and environmental
requirements, tubular legs or solid rod legs or a combination of
both componenis are integrated into the structure's design.

Durable maierials in a flexible design for long tower life at a great price.

Single member sections reduce ice accumulations and minimize wind
loads.

Efficient shipment, storage and assembly further enhance customer value.

Component sections are pre-engineered and detailed to ensure quick
drawing turn-around which may expedite local permitting processes.

Heights up to 600° are available.

1 MW is listed as the loading at 84ft and it also mentioned “a future expansion utilizing
MW and chain mount”, does this mean we should consider (2) MW SC3-W100AC at
84ft?

No only one future Microwave mount at 84 feet

Similar question for 78f1/68ft, CC807-9 and mount are also mentioned in the description
parts besides the mount list, should we consider extra antenna and mount for such

To: Board of Aldermen August 6, 2020
From: David G. Fredette, Treasurer/Tax Collector

Re: Purchase replacement for one (1) 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility
from FY 2021 Capital Equipment Reserve Fund (CERF)

The purpose of this communication is to give additional information related needed to replace one (1)
2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility that was not listed on the FY2021 vehicle replacement schedule.
Unfortunately this vehicle was totaled in an accident on July 12, 2020. The cost to CERF will be
$49,516.50. Funds are available in CERF due to several cost savings on several items in FY 2020. It is
also anticipated additional escrows or supplemental appropriations will be used to transfer additional
funds into CERF during the first quarter of FY 2021.

Pursuant to NRO 5-127.1 D Capital Equipment Reserve Fund, which states: “During that fiscal year,
the city may purchase that equipment, or equipment that will serve the same stated purpose as the listed
equipment as long as the price does not vary by more than ten percent of the estimated replacement
value. All purchases from the Capital Equipment Reserve Fund must comply with the city’s purchasing
approval process. Any other requests to use funds from the Capital Equipment Reserve Fund must be
approved by the board of aldermen.”

I respectfully request the approval from the Board of Aldermen for the purchase of a 2020 Ford Police
Interceptor Utility from Municipal Vehicles, Marlborough MA. for the Police department as
requested. This vehicle will replace the 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, which was totaled in a
recent accident.
