right-of-way regulations at 43 CFR part
2800.
Existing communication facilities at
the Hill 71 communication site include
Hinsdale County-owned buildings and a
BLM-owned tower. The existing
facilities are at capacity and unable to
accommodate additional uses. A second
facility (building, tower, back-up
generator, etc.) would provide for unmet
current and future demand at the site.
The BLM received three applications
and one expression of interest for
developing a communications-use
facility at the Hill 71 communication
site. The BLM has not formally accepted
any of the three applications, thereby
making this site suitable for competitive
leasing.
The BLM has determined that
competition exists for constructing a
second communications facility at Hill
71, in accordance with 43 CFR 2804.23.
The Hill 71 site is located in an area
with sensitive visual resources and the
BLM has determined that only one
additional facility is appropriate.
The Hill 71 communication site is
located approximately 7 miles southeast
of Lake City, Colorado, and legally
described as:
New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado
T. 43 N., R. 4 W.,
sec. 35, lots 6 and 7.
Granting a communications-use lease
at the Hill 71 communication site
conforms with the BLM Gunnison
Resource Area Approved Resource
Management Plan, approved in
February 1993.
In conformance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, an
environmental analysis will be
conducted once a successful bidder has
been identified.
Bid Process: A Prospectus for An
Opportunity to Construct, Operate, and
Maintain a Commercial
Communications Facility at the Hill 71
Communications Site that describes the
details of the opportunity, the bid
proposal requirements, and instructions
for submitting a bid proposal for
consideration is available at: https://

be evaluated according to the Evaluation
Criteria described in the Prospectus.
