DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Garfield, Colorado seeks a qualified vendor to provide microwave tower installation services at the Rifle Substation. The scope includes installing a new 120-foot microwave communication tower at the substation and removing an existing substation overhead ground wire and associated hardware as outlined in project drawings.
Additional tasks involve modifying the service building by cutting a hole for waveguide and coaxial cable passages, installing a redwood frame for waveguide entry ports, and constructing foundations for the new communication tower and waveguide supports. The contractor will be responsible for erecting government-furnished equipment (GFE) including the 120-foot communication tower, waveguide support columns, a waveguide bridge, and a trapeze kit waveguide hangers.
All tower legs and waveguide columns must be connected to the substation ground mat to ensure safety and system integrity. Excavations must be backfilled, with gravel surfacing repaired and restored to original condition upon project completion.
