Existing Tripod Antenna Mount
Dear Mr. Demarco:
APX Engineering Group, LLC (APX) is pleased to submit this Structural Analysis to determine whether the
subject existing antenna mount is able to support certain proposed loads.
It is our understanding that AT&T, who retained MasTec Network Solutions (MNS), desires to install new
telecommunication equipment on the subject mount. This analysis was based on the supporting information
listed in Table 2. Our services were performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the master
service agreement between APX and MNS. This report summarizes the results of our findings.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine the suitability of the aforementioned structure to support the
loading indicated in the attached calculations. This analysis has been performed in accordance with the
Florida Building Code based upon an ultimate 3-second gust wind speed of 164 mph using RISA-3D
structural software. Based on our analysis, subject to the assumptions and recommendations noted, it is
our opinion that the subject structure will support the proposed loading.
=Exist-ing Members: Pass at 76.4%, Existing Connections: Pass at 72.3%
This report has been prepared for the purpose of providing a structural evaluation of the subject structure
for the loading conditions indicated. It is intended for the exclusive use of AT&T and MNS. The information,
assumptions, and recommendations contained in this report should not be used by others for any purpose
without express written authorization from APX We appreciate the opportunity to provide our professional
services to you and look forward to continuing our relationship. If we can be of any further assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact us. ttL1151111121i I?

Lydia
Thank you for your prompt response. My apologies for not paying enough attention to the permit application. My permit runner printed a copy of the
application from my previous project. AT&T is only adding 3 RRU next to the antennas. All other work is confined to the equipment room.
Please let me know if I need to drop off a new application.
