Minnesota 55104 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Scheibel: <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Mangold of U.S. West Wireless, LLC has contacted me regarding the release or an <br /> <br /> <br />engineers report by Paul J. Ford and Company. It has come to my attention that the report was prepared <br /> <br /> <br />using information that is now obsolete. J do not believe that the engineers who prepared the report were <br /> <br /> <br />able to actUally observe the tower in order to prepare an accurate analysis which 1 personally would <br /> <br /> <br />require. <br /> <br /> <br />ton~r wa::u;: ~:d:et::::d::::'~~:t;n::~ t::~~mn;;ei:s::~::;~: ::;::(€e~::::e <br /> <br /> <br />designCd lonithstand % inch of ice under 6.0 mile per hour winds conditio~ Hon~ver, the lon~r as it <br /> <br /> <br />now stands, has wilhstood Y, inch ice under lhe most severe n;nler conditiodin Minnesota during its <br /> <br />existence. The exact dates are nol ",..i1able to me n;thout some research, but I do recall those occurrences <br /> <br /> <br />when we had electrical power outages due to ice stonns. There is a considerable safe!)' factor built into <br /> <br />the engineers analysis to avoid liabili!)'. <br /> <br /> <br />No one is more concerned about the structural integrity of the lower than the owner. We ha\~ <br /> <br /> <br />been endeavoring to mainlain the tower at its optimum safe capad!)' in accordance nith our engineers <br /> <br /> <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />D.
