P -- DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL OF ANTENNA TOWER DUE 021898 POC Paul Vanderhoff, Program Manager, 315-330-4014; Gail Marsh, Contract Specialist, 315-330-1940 Capable sources (prospective buyers) are sought to purchase (by future sealed bid) and remove a 1200 foot steel, triangular antenna tower located on the Forestport Test Annex, North Lake Road, Town of Ohio, NY 13338. Two sale/removal options are being considered for the Government sale of the surplus 1200' foot antenna tower: 1) buyer to demolish and remove the standing tower from the site and 2) buyer to remove the felled tower (on the ground) from the site. Interested parties may respond to one or both of the sale/removal options. The 1200' trianglar tower is 15' wide on each side and was designed to endure a 150 mile wind velocity. The antenna tower consists of approximately 772 ton of structural steel. The concrete anchors and ground plane need not be removed. The legs are constructed in 20' lengths using eight inch solid rod and tubular rod steel with bolted flange construction. Horizontal cross members are galvanized structural angle and diagonal sway bracing is 1-2" solid rod. The entire structure is bolted together. It is supported by six guys at the 310', 670' and 1055' levels, some of which are anchored as far as 1051' away from the base. The guys are 2.5" diameter steel cable and are each insulated in 3 or 4 sections. The tower includes an Otis elevator which operates from the 80' level to the top of the tower. This elevator is not operational. The tower includes a system of 12" flash technology high intensity beacon lights (obstruction lighting system) located at the 300', 600', 900' and 1200' levels. Design calculations and fabrication drawings are available, but most of the erection drawings are missing from the drawing set. To review these documents, contact Paul Vanderhoff at 315-330-4014. IMPORTANT NOTES: The tower has a lead based protective coating. Compliance with OSHA regulations will be required during removal (i.e., use of protective clothing, and respiration devices). The following coordinations will be required: 1) the local electric utility company (Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.) regarding the overhead power lines along the North Lake Road, 2) the Town of Ohio, Herkimer & Oneida County for temporary closure of North Lake Road, 3) New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and 4) Adirondack Park Agency. In your response to this notice, please include the following information: an indication of your interest to purchase the tower standing or felled and method of removal and your qualifications in this area. This information must be in writing, forwarded to Gail Marsh at the above address or via FAX 315-330-7513 and must be received no later than 18 FEB 98. (0028)
