Brick will construct a new police communications tower at the Drum Point Sports Complex, officials said, awarding a contract at Tuesday night\u2019s council meeting for the project.<\/p>\n

The township awarded a $41,070 contract to Sabre Industries, of Sioux City, IA, to build the 150-foot tower with a concrete base at the sports complex. The site was chosen because of its central location in town.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signal has to cover the mainland all the way to the barrier island,\u201d said Council President Andrea Zapcic, explaining why the site was deemed the best spot.<\/p>\n

The township will identify a state contract vendor to build up the foundation, Zapcic added.<\/p>\n

The communications tower will be for township use only; no commercial wireless providers will have a presence on it. The tower is one segment of Brick\u2019s portion of a significant upgrade of the entire county\u2019s communications system. Recently, Brick\u2019s fire service constructed a large tower<\/a> at its training center on Herbertsville Road. That tower, however, also includes Verizon Wireless cellular antennas.<\/p>\n
