This document contains the final construction drawings and engineering specifications, dated November 18, 2025, for the Olmito Tower project in Cameron County, Texas. Prepared by Ramaker & Associates, Inc. for the FBI's Video Surveillance Unit, the project involves installing proposed equipment inside an existing shelter and on a 500-foot guyed tower located 1.6 miles west of 100 California Road. The technical specifications outline comprehensive requirements across several construction divisions. Site work directives cover earthwork, drainage, soil stabilization, and the installation of a seven-foot galvanized chain-link security fence with barbed wire. Concrete standards specify a minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi at 7 days for foundations. Structural steel elements, including framing members and base plates, must use hot-dipped galvanized ASTM A572 Grade 50 steel. The electrical section details rigid conduit placement at a minimum depth of 30 inches, comprehensive grounding electrode system setups utilizing copper ground rods and exothermic welds, and mandatory IEEE Fall Potential ground resistance testing to achieve a maximum reading of 5 ohms. Additionally, the telecommunications guidelines govern the installation, weatherproofing, labeling, and sweep testing of coaxial antenna cables. Detailed location plans, site layouts, and equipment room configurations are included to guide the general contractor.

This document outlines construction plans and engineering drawings for a broadband connectivity and capacity enhancement project at an existing Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wireless facility. The project is located at 31578 County Road 629, La Feria, Texas, on an existing 1,397-foot guyed tower owned by PBXPB Holdings LLC and managed by Crown Castle USA Inc. The structural and electrical upgrades are designed to enhance broadband capacity and communication infrastructure at the site. The scope of work is divided into two main areas: - **Tower Scope of Work:** Installation of two Radiowaves (HP4-7.7) microwave dishes and four CommScope (CNT-400) cables. - **Ground Scope of Work:** Installation of one equipment rack inside the existing shelter, alongside two new, separate 20-amp circuits to power the rack. Prepared by Crown Castle, the project complies with the 2021 Texas IHB Building Code, the 2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC), and the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC). The engineering drawings, certified by Maribel Dentinger, P.E., on February 26, 2026, include detailed site plans, tower elevations, antenna plans, equipment schedules, and grounding specifications necessary to complete the telecommunications upgrade safely and in accordance with local and federal regulations.
