Ms. Heather Lanza
Director of Planning
Town of Southold
Southold, NY 11971
Rc: Town of South old - Technical Consultation for Zoning Law Revision and Wireless
Facility Planning
Dear Ms. Lanza:
It is a pleasure to present this proposal to provide the following services as directcd by the Town.
. Rcview the Town's existing wireless zoning regulations and the applicable wireless
regulations of the other authorities having jurisdiction.
. Provide updated language to reflect current regulations, the state of wireless technology
and standard practices of the carriers, to include teclmical (radio frequency related)
provisions regarding demonstration of need, proposed coverage, capacity, non-ionizing
radiation exposure compliance, siting, minimum necessary height, co-location and the
visual screening of equipment and facilities.
. Make recommendations regarding provisions of the current wireless law that can be
changed to encourage desirable facility design and siting practices by wireless carriers.
. With the assistance of the Town, explore the feasibility of several potential wireless
facility sites and produce indicative propagation maps to illustrate potential coverage
quality at various antenna heights.
. Provide the Town with a report and recommendations regarding siting alternatives.
My fee for the above services will be calculated at an hourly rate of$100.00. I will also be
reimbursed at cost for out-of-pocket expenses related to any travel the Town may authorize and
for living costs, express postage, printing and copies. The reimbursement rate for travel by
pri vate vehicle is the then-current IRS flat mileage rate.
The total cost to perform the above tasks will depend on the amount of assistance the Town can
provide, especially in site selection, and the number of sites to be investigated. Based on
experience, I estimate that the following fees will be required:
Zoning law review and rccommcndations
approximately $1,700.00
.
Site investigation, propagation maps & recommendations-
Meetings in Southold (two total)
approximately $2,400.00
approximately $1,600.00
The total fees, based on the above scope will not exceed $5,700.00 without the Town's prior
consent. I anticipate that these services will rcquire 90 calendar days or less for completion.
Travcl and miscellaneous expenses (assuming no ovcrnight stay) will approximate $700.00.
If YOll find this arrangcment satisfactory, please sign and return one copy of this proposal
indicating your agreement. Meanwhile I look forward to being of scrvice to thc Town.
Very truly yours,
Walter A. Cooper
