Summary
Trustees approved Urban Wireless Solutions as the township’s cellular and tower‑lease consultant after interviews; board noted vendor’s technical knowledge and competitive cost.
Grosse Ile trustees approved Urban Wireless Solutions to provide cellular, legal and tower‑lease consulting services to the township.
The township issued a request for qualifications and interviewed multiple firms. Trustees and staff said Urban Wireless demonstrated the depth of technical knowledge and “covered all the bases” on lease negotiations and telecom issues. Trustees noted the firm’s ability to advise on coverage questions residents have raised.
The selected consultant will provide legal and technical services related to cell‑tower leases and negotiations. Staff said the contract cost will be covered from the professional‑services line in the current budget and that Urban Wireless’s experience and pricing made it the preferred choice.
The trustees approved the award on a voice vote and asked staff to begin work with Urban Wireless on township cell‑site priorities and lease reviews.
