On October.26,1999 the Board of Supervisors approved a Board Order that declared an emergency exists
related to the seismic safety of the County's telecommunications infrastructure.. Part of this declaration
was the replacement of the communications towers at Kregor Peak and Bald Peak. These contracts with
Tower Structures, Inc. provide for the replacement of both towers. Due to unforeseen scheduling
requirements construction on the Bald Peak tower did not start until June, 2001. Construction on the
Kregor Peak tower is now scheduled to start in August 2001.
