The following are detailed notes on the discussion made on the procedures for repairing and renovation of the building at 104 Bonham Street: Power issues: 1. The service wires from the utility pole on Bonham will be re-routed in a sealed conduit attached to the face of the building to move the weather head away from the location of scaffolding, subject to the City approval and inspection. 2. The scaffold will be installed on the sidewalk on the south side of the 2 story building with a stair tower. A roll off trash dumpster will be located in the street in the parallel parking space with a chute to the roof. A protected tunnel will be constructed beside the stair tower to allow pedestrian access along the sidewalk. 3. The guy wire parallel to the south building is not connected to any energized electrical conduit. It needs to avoid contact with anything including the scaffold because much strain could damage the pole but working in proximity of the guy would not pose a safety risk. 4. The meter on the west (old AT &T meter will be pulled since that line is dead and not used at this time. This must be coordinated with Oncor. 5. The meter on the east will remain to keep the conduit going up the wall live until permanent power can be located to the building and run up an interior chase to the roof for the cell equipment. 6. A ground mounted transformer from Oncor will be located on the parking lot at the southeast corner of the lot for permanent service to the building. The service from that transformer will be run underground in the street and will enter the basement through the pit and access that currently houses the existing transformer which will be removed. A check with the City of Paris verified that this is acceptable, based on preliminary information and subject to final plans and approval. 7. As soon as this permanent power is established to the building, the cell companies can run their conduit to the roof through a selected chase to power the roof top equipment. Then all the conduits and meters on the south wall can be removed. 8. The fiber optic wires on the north and west walls will be relocated as coordinated to the roofs or below any sight lines. 9. The equipment on the roof is necessary for cell service to a majority of the city. If this equipment were not active, it could cause major problems. Alternate locations for equipment could be considered but the companies would need about 2 years to make that determination of where to move to and to get that process done. 10. Both cell companies promised to have crews on hand to make all the moves and relocation happen in a timely manner, especially if done in conjunction with the re- roofing process. Roof Top Cell Equipment and Reroofing: 1. The existing roofing between the existing equipment will be removed down to the concrete deck and the parapet walls stripped down to masonry. 2. The concrete will be inspected for damage and repair as necessary. Page 1 2 EiKO1V
