A new communications base station in north Fort Worth is required to provide
adequate coverage of City's radio systems to the Alliance Airport and
adjacent areas under development. A suitable location for the facility is
available from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway at its microwave
radio station near Haslet.
AT&SF has proposed to lease space for the base station equipment and voice
channels on its microwave system to connect the radio equipment to the
communications center in Fort Worth. The lease agreement would be effective
until terminated~by either party. It is anticipated that this facility will
be used until the new Interdepartmental Communications System is complete in
1992.
No other suitable location fo the radio station has been found.
PROJECT COST
Purchase and installation of the required radio equipment $ 3,500.00
One time payment to AT&SF 4,500.00
One time payment to SWB for leased lines in Fort Worth 2,649.00
Monthly rental to AT&SF - $2050/mo x 3 6,150.00
Monthly rental to SWB - $264/mo x 3 792.00
