MT Bozeman BZMNMTMA & Belgrade BLGRMTMA 09-18-2009 454511 325011 H74A036 3000 Valley Center Rd, 2059 E Valley Center Rd Qwest is rerouting facilities in conflict with a highway project. Qwest will be placing a new fiber fed RT to replace the copper fed RT. All existing customers in the DA will be cut to the new RT. The new Rt does not support SS4L or SS13 circuits or any other circuits requiring C.O. copper. There are no CLEC circuits working at the existing XC. The following are the db calculations for the cable sections beyond the new RT: Section 1: 1,991' of 19ga + 3,893' of 22ga will be replace by 4,190' pf 24ga. Loss is increased by +3.85db. Section 2: 1,784' of 24ga + 2,420 of 22ga will be replaced by 4,185' of 24ga . The loss is increased by +1.16db. CLLI code for Belgrade is blgrmtma. Belgrade calculation - 1,189' of 24ga is being replaced by 1,315' of 24ga. The loss will be increased by +0.20db.
NM Taos Main TAOSNMMA 09-15-2009 410501 9251SGY 525 Ranchitos Rd 234 ft of BKMH-900 will be replaced between terminals 30 RL4 and 31 RL4, 2.444 kf from X 525 Ranchitos Rd crossbox, west on State Rd 240, and replaced with 433 ft of ANMW-600 cable. The longer distance is because the BKMH-600 is aerial cable cutting across a private lot and is too low to the ground, and the new section of ANMW-600 is being buried along a different path, which increases the footage of the loop.

THE BEFORE LOOP MAKE UP IS 9.23 KF FOR F1 AND 2.7 KF FOR F2. THE NEW LOOP MAKE UP WILL BE 9.32KF FOR F1 AND 3.2 KF FOR F2 WHICH CAUSED A NEGATIVE INCREASE IN THE DB LOSS FROM 25.98 TO 27.31. ALL SERVICES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTED.
