Inspection and Structural Analysis Douglaston, NY

The document "OFFEROR EXPERIENCE INFORMATION" is a standardized form for offerors to detail their project experience, likely in response to a government Request for Proposal (RFP), federal grant, or state/local RFP, as indicated by the "SIR Document for Minimum Project Value and Recency Criteria." The form requires offerors to provide their company information, contract/task order/purchase order details, dollar value, and project status (active or completed with dates). Key sections include a comprehensive project description outlining the offeror's role and responsibilities, the project title and location, and contact information for the client's project owner or manager. The form is structured to capture two separate project experiences (PROJECT #1 and PROJECT #2), suggesting a requirement for multiple examples of past performance. This document serves as a critical component for evaluating an offeror's qualifications and capacity to perform the requested services.

This Statement of Work outlines the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) requirement for inspection and structural analysis of two 129-foot self-supporting towers at the Douglaston Remote Communications Link (RCL) facility in Queens, NY. These towers, over 70 years old, have direct-buried steel legs showing significant rust and material loss (up to 40%) just below ground level. Consequently, the towers are marked "Do Not Climb." The scope of work includes underground foundation detection, hand-excavation of tower legs, non-destructive testing, and a comprehensive inspection/structural condition report by a New York State licensed engineer. The report must determine if the towers are structurally sound, require repair, or need demolition. The project requires adherence to strict security protocols, specific work schedules, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, including OSHA, AISC, ANSI, and TIA-222-H standards.

Tower Engineering Professionals (TEP) conducted a periodic maintenance and condition assessment for the FAA – Tower 3, a 180-foot self-support tower located at 25 251st St, New York, NY 11362, on July 18, 2023. The inspection, performed by Timothy Meyer and Steven Flowers, followed ANSI/TIA-222-H Annex J standards. Key observations included loose and missing bolts, nearing end-of-life galvanized coating and paint, widespread corrosion on hardware and mounts, a missing junction box cover, mechanical grounding connections at the base of legs A, B, and C (with no grounding at leg D), absence of a lightning rod, and cut/abandoned coaxial cables. Recommendations include replacing faulty bolts, monitoring coating conditions, cleaning and treating corroded areas, properly joining wires and installing a junction box cover, repairing or replacing grounding conductors, installing a lightning rod if required by the FAA, and removing abandoned coax and hardware to reduce unnecessary loading. Some structural plumb and twist measurements were within allowable limits, but one deflection measurement between reference elevations at 161-ft was out of tolerance.

The "Maintenance and Condition Assessment Report" details a periodic inspection of a 170-foot self-support tower (FAA – Tower 2) at 25 251st St, New York, NY, conducted by Tower Engineering Professionals (TEP) on July 18, 2023. The inspection, compliant with ANSI/TIA-222-H Annex J, identified several issues needing attention. Key observations include a bent internal bracing member at 120-ft, missing hex nuts at 180-ft, and the galvanized coating nearing the end of its lifespan, with corrosion observed throughout the tower and on lighting system hardware. Missing light covers and bulbs were noted at various elevations, along with improper grounding and a lightning rod that is not the highest appurtenance. Additionally, unsecured coax cables at 170-ft, a missing ladder bolt at 50-ft, and incorrectly installed stabilizer arm connection brackets for antenna mounts at 170-ft were identified. All tower plumb and twist measurements were within acceptable limits. The report recommends specific repairs and monitoring to maintain structural integrity and compliance.
