| Short Tower (less than 500') | $84,200.00 | $203,950.00 | As detailed on the attached change order, the cost of the tower work exceeded the initial estimate because of repeated occurrences of inclement weather that unexpectedly extended the number of working days required for the crew to complete the project. (Please also see FCC File No. 150938, which contemporaneously noted the unsafe weather as a basis for a short extension of time to complete construction of the facility). However, relevant Commission deadlines made it necessary to retain the tower crew in place in hopes of completing construction as quickly as possible, whenever it was safe to do so. | $203,950.00 | N/A |
