Scottsdale Road and Dynamite Intersection Traffic Poie Telecommunication Agreement. Adopt 
Resolution No. 13686 to authorize Telecommunications Pole Reimbursement Agreement No. 2026- 
076-COS between AT&T and the City for installation of a signal pole capable of supporting a future 
wireless communication facility in the amount of $152,051.04. This pole is included within the 
roadway construction plans for Scottsdale Road - Jomax Road to Dixileta Drive (PS 2005).
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this action is to authorize the city to enter into a reimbursement agreement with 
AT&T for the construction of a new traffic signal pole at the southwest corner of N Scottsdale Road 
and E Dynamite Boulevard that will be capable of supporting installation of a future AT&T wireless 
communication facility (WCF). Improvements include conduit, pull box, conductor, a uniquetraffic 
signal foundation, pole, mast arm, and related traffic signal equipment.
AT&T has had a WCF collocated on the existing traffic signal pole at this location since 2005. City 
staff informed AT&T that the existing conditions of the intersection, including signal poles, will be 
changing with the street improvement project. AT&T has relocated its antennas from the existing 
signal pole to a temporary pole to be Out of the way of construction. AT&T has completed a design 
for the ultimate location of its antennas and associated ground-mounted equipment based on the 
final street improvements.
To avoid AT&T having to install a secondary pole designed to support WCF antennas. City staff is 
requesting approval of Contract No. 2026-076-COS, allowing the city's contractor to install a signal 
pole capable of supporting a WCF during construction of the intersection. AT&T will reimburse the 
city $152,051.04 prior to installing its wireless facility equipment. This amount is exclusive of the 
WCF equipment, which shall be provided separately by AT&T.
