2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The District is seeking prequalified construction services for the Construction Contract for KVCR New Broadcasting Tower at 10550 Box Springs Mountain Rd, Moreno Valley, CA 92324.
KVCR is transitioning from ultra-high frequency (“UHF”) to very-high frequency (“VHF”) channel and required to procure new broadcasting tower at 10550 Box Springs Mountain Rd, Moreno Valley, CA 92324. As part of the transitioning, the District has procured antenna solution and transmitter solution systems. The existing tower will not accommodate the new antenna solution system procured by the District.

SBCCD Prequalification Program 7 of 9
Construction Services KVCR New Broadcasting Tower at Moreno Valley RFP # 03-1718-09
The KVCR New Broadcasting Tower is necessary to comply with current code requirements and accommodate the new VHF antenna solution system from Jampro Antennas Inc. procured by the District.
This UHF-to-VHF transition is mandated by the Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) which provides a strict timeframe to complete the transition project by December 31, 2018. The design and construction of the new tower needs to be completed by December 31, 2018. The new antenna will be installed upon the new tower and is permitted to operate by December 31, 2018.
The District is aiming to have the follow-up engineering and construction work commence in February 2018, and then to complete the design, receive permit by the county, procure materials, fabricate, and erect and complete the construction by December 31, 2018. KVCR must cease broadcasting from their current channel in early 2019. The existing KVCR tower will then be demolished once the new tower is permitted to operate and the new antenna is installed.
The District has done its due diligence and upfront studies for the KVCR New Broadcasting Tower and all necessary information are provided as Exhibits to this RFP. These Exhibits are as follows:
i. FAA approval for the KVCR new broadcasting tower height of 345 feet. The new tower profile shows the exact location for the newly Jampro antenna system procured y the District. ii. Preliminary design document showing the potential structural steel profile or similar of the new 345 feet tower height with proposed pad location that shall not exceed 60 feet x 60 feet. iii. Geotechnical and geological analysis report for the site condition of the KVCR new tower location. iv. Topography surveying report showing the KVCR new tower pad location with elevations. The design firm needs to maintain the longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates for center of the new tower in their design. v. The new procured VHF antenna solution system specifications and profiles. The design of the antenna attachments to the new structural steel tower will be developed after the design of the KVCR new tower is complete and permitted.
The District has also formed a collaborative team of specialized environmental consultants, specialized broadcasting and communication engineers, and legal counsel who are currently working to obtain National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) approval in conjunction with this RFP process.
The successful contractor is expected to work with the District various consultants collaboratively for the successful achievement of this project.
