form requested upon completion of all construction work in the City's right-of-
way.

as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and
cables of Provider or otherwise interfering with Provider's access or use of its
facilities. All tree trimming shall be conducted in accordance with any and all
applicable ordinances, laws, regulations, or statutes and acceptable local
horticultural practices.

timely and competent manner in accordance with the provisions of the permit,
within seven days of City's notice to the Provider of such failure or as required by
applicable law, there shall be recoverable, jointly and severably from the surety
and principal of the Bond, any damages or loss suffered by the City as a result

City by and through its telecommunications counsel. The security fund shall be
conditioned on the full and faithful performance by the Provider of all
requirements, duties and obligations imposed upon Provider by the provisions of
this Agreement. The security fund shall be furnished annually and shall provide

convenience, any public street, alley or right-of-way, Provider shall not be
required to make any changes until such other entity or person shall have
undertaken, with solvent bond satisfactory to City and Provider, to

conduit; provided, however, that the City shall never be liable for such
reimbursement.

shall have one hundred twenty (120) days to register in accordance with
the lawful registration provisions of the City's ordinance as required at the
time of the termination and shall comply with all other lawful provisions
of the City's ordinance. Following such termination of this Agreement,

interruption, subject to compliance with the one hundred twenty (120) day
registration requirement and all lawful provisions of the City's ordinance;
or
C. On September 30, 2001, if the provisions of Section 337.401, Florida
Statutes, in effect on that date continue to limit local governments to a

days to register in accordance with said section and the provisions of this
Agreement shall terminate, except as set forth in this paragraph and in
paragraph 11.7 of this Agreement. Provider shall be entitled to continue to

included in the calculation of either revenue streams or tax rates as may be
required or permitted by applicable law enacted as SB 1338 in the 2000
Legislative Session. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the
date of acceptance of this Agreement by the Provider, as defined in Article
6 of this Agreement and shall end five (5) years thereafter, unless extended

owned rights-of-way within the City. The Provider's maintenance obligations
shall be performed in accordance with industry standards and all applicable codes
and laws. The Provider may place such facilities in the City Rights-of-Way

route diagram, as well as a description of all facilities and appliances, the time
period for performing construction and work in the Rights-of-Way, specific
location and construction requirements, subject to the City's permitting approval
and other conditions for construction and work in the Rights-of-Way.
2.2 The City grants access and use of its Rights-of-Way to the Provider for the
construction, installation, and maintenance of its facilities within the City limits
subject to the grant of applicable construction permits. Under this Agreement, the
Provider may erect, install, construct, repair, replace, relocate, reconstruct,

• the City, as located and approved by the City, as set forth in this Agreement, such
lines, cable, conductors, ducts, conduits, vaults, manholes, appliances, pedestals,
attachments, and other property and equipment as are necessary and appropriate to
the operation of the facilities.
2.3 The Provider shall construct, operate and maintain its telecommunications
facilities and use the City's Rights-of-Way in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, including all permit requirements, and fee payments,
and all other City codes and ordinances in effect as of the date of this Agreement
or hereinafter adopted. The grant of this Agreement does not in anyway impact
the continuing authority of the City through the proper exercise of its police
powers to adopt and enforce ordinances necessary to provide for the health, safety
and welfare of the public. The City makes no express or implied representation or
warranty regarding its rights to authorize the installation or construction of
facilities on any particular segment of Rights-of-Way. The burden and
responsibility for making all such determinations in advance of construction or
installation shall be entirely upon the Provider.
2.4 The Provider understands that the City is currently considering the development
of a Telecommunications Ordinance and Rights-of-Way Construction and
Management Ordinance regulating the use of its Rights-of-Way, and the Provider
specifically agrees to be bound by the terms of any such ordinances adopted, to
athe extent such ordinances are consistent with state and federal law. Provider
does not waive the right to challenge any provisions of any future applicable
ordinances, which are inconsistent with state or federal law.
2.5 The Provider shall construct and maintain its telecommunications facilities so as
not to interfere unreasonably with other users of the Rights-of-Way. The Provider
shall make use of existing poles and other facilities available to the Provider to the
greatest extent possible. All such attachments shall only be made with the prior
written permission of the owner of the poles and conduits to be utilized. Except
where emergencies make such action impractical, the Provider shall use
reasonable efforts to notify all occupants of adjacent or abutting properties
affected by the proposed work prior to commencement of such work. All
construction and maintenance by Provider or its subcontractors shall be performed
in accordance with industry standards.
2.6 At least thirty (30) days before the beginning of any installation, removal or
relocation of its facilities, the Provider shall submit detailed plans of the proposed
action to the City Civil Engineer. Said plans shall be sealed by a Florida
professional engineer or other engineer as defined by Section 471.003(2)(d),
Florida Statues, and will depict the aboveground, at grade or underground
• installation of fiber optic cable and associated equipment to be installed by
3
Provider that will be capable for the provision of Telecommunications Services as
permitted by the certificate granted to Provider by the Florida Public Service
Commission. The City Engineer shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt, of such
plans, either approve the plans or grant a Permit to utilize the Rights-of-Way or
inform the Provider of the reasons for disapproval. The Provider shall designate a
responsible contact person with whom officials of the Department of Public
Works can communicate with on all matters relating to facilities installation and
maintenance.
2.7 Prior to any excavation or construction within the Rights-of-Way, the Provider
shall obtain a permit and perform such work in accordance with applicable
provisions of the City Code, and any subsequent ordinances or regulations that
may be adopted by the City regarding excavation work.
2.8 Provider hereby agrees that the installation of the equipment, fiber optic conduits
and cables and telecommunication facilities related to Provider's services shall be
installed at the locations/routes as specifically set forth in the plans submitted to
the City's Engineer. All utilities shall be placed underground and all underground
construction shall be done in accordance with the standards and policies approved
by the City Engineer and Director of Public Works, which includes but is not
limited to the utilization of trenchless technology methods and "open cut"
construction methods as well as the requirements set forth the submitted and
® approved plans.
2.9 Above ground installation shall be done only with the prior written permission of
the City Commission and of the owner of the poles and cables to be utilized, if
any, a copy of which shall accompany the sealed plans to be submitted to the City
Engineer or his designee for approval. Provider shall endeavor to install all
equipment and telecommunication facilities underground, unless prevented by
available technology or the physical characteristics of the location.
2.10. Provider shall provide the City Engineer or his designee with as-built plans in the.
form requested upon completion of all construction work in the City's right-of-
way.
2.11 Tree Trimming. Provider shall have the authority to trim trees upon and
overhanging streets, alleys, sidewalks, driveways and public places of the City so
as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and
cables of Provider or otherwise interfering with Provider's access or use of its
facilities. All tree trimming shall be conducted in accordance with any and all
applicable ordinances, laws, regulations, or statutes and acceptable local
horticultural practices.
• 4
® 2.12 The Provider shall at all times comply with the requirements of the State's one-
call notification system, Chapter 556 of the Florida Statutes.
2.13 Use of Joint Trench. PROVIDER may allow City facilities to be co-located
within City's rights-of-way through the use of a joint trench during Provider's
construction project. Such joint trench projects shall be negotiated in good faith
by separate agreement between Provider and City and may be subjected to other
municipal rights-of-way requirements.
2.14 Coordination with other Utilities: The City will provide any information it may
have regarding existing or proposed installations. The Provider will be required
to demonstrate why it cannot utilize existing conduits or cables that are available
or why it cannot install its conduit as part of a joint effort with other proposed
installations.
Article 3. Construction and Performance Security Fund and Costs
3.1 Prior to commencing any excavation or construction work within the City's
Rights-of-Way the Provider shall post a construction bond or cash deposit with
the City in an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the
anticipated constructions costs, or such other amount approved by the City
® Manager, in order to guarantee the timeliness and quality of any construction,
repair and restoration work. The bond shall be required to remain in effect for
twelve .(12) months after the completion of the construction activity. The bond
shall be issued by a surety authorized to do business in the State of Florida and in
a form substantially similar to the public construction bond set forth in § 255.05,
Florida Statutes. In the event the Provider fails to complete its work in a safe,
timely and competent manner in accordance with the provisions of the permit,
within seven days of City's notice to the Provider of such failure or as required by
applicable law, there shall be recoverable, jointly and severably from the surety
and principal of the Bond, any damages or loss suffered by the City as a result
including the full cost of removal of the facilities and restoration of the rights of
way to their condition prior to Provider's construction.
3.2 At the time of Provider's acceptance of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Provider shall file with the City Clerk, after approval by the City,
a performance security fund in the form of an annual bond or cash deposit in the
minimum sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) having as a surety
a company qualified to do business in the State of Florida, and acceptable to the
City by and through its telecommunications counsel. The security fund shall be
conditioned on the full and faithful performance by the Provider of all
requirements, duties and obligations imposed upon Provider by the provisions of
this Agreement. The security fund shall be furnished annually and shall provide
5
® a continuing guarantee of Provider's full and faithful performance at all times
throughout the effective term of this Agreement. In the event Provider fails to cure
its default in performance of any requirements, duties and obligations imposed
upon Provider by the provisions of this Agreement, there shall be recoverable,
jointly and severally from the principal and surety of the bond, any damages or
loss suffered by the City as a result, including the full amount of any
compensation, indemnification or cost of removal or abandonment of any
property of the Provider, plus a reasonable allowance for attorneys' fees, up to the
full amount of the bond. In lieu of the bond or cash deposit required by this
Section, the City may in its reasonable discretion accept a corporate guarantee of
the Provider or its parent company, if the Provider is a publicly traded company
and maintains an insurance rating of no less than A-.
3.3 Construction and Relocation Costs
a. The Provider shall be responsible for all costs and fees incurred by the
City that are directly associated with its installation, maintenance, repair
and replacement of its facilities within the Rights-of-Way, that are not
otherwise recovered through the usage fees. Such costs and fees shall
include, but are not limited to permit fees and engineering costs. All such
costs shall be itemized and the City's books and records related to these
costs shall be made available upon request to the Provider.
b. As provided by and in accordance with the requirements of Section

another reasonable location, or to deepen in place, upon receipt of the

way or manner to alter, relocate or change its cable and conduit to enable
any other entity or person, except for the City as provided for in
Paragraph 2.10(a) of this Agreement, to use, or to use with greater
convenience, any public street, alley or right-of-way, Provider shall not be
required to make any changes until such other entity or person shall have
undertaken, with solvent bond satisfactory to City and Provider, to
reimburse Provider for any loss or expense which will be caused by, or
arise out of such change, alteration or relocation of Provider's' cable and
conduit; provided, however, that the City shall never be liable for such
reimbursement.

partially terminated as provided below:
a. Upon this Agreement being terminated by operation of law; or
b. Upon the City's enactment of a superseding ordinance consistent with

shall have one hundred twenty (120) days to register in accordance with
the lawful registration provisions of the City's ordinance as required at the
time of the termination and shall comply with all other lawful provisions
of the City's ordinance. Following such termination of this Agreement,
Provider shall be entitled to continue to use the rights-of-way, without
interruption, subject to compliance with the one hundred twenty (120) day
registration requirement and all lawful provisions of the City's ordinance;
or
C. On September 30, 2001, if the provisions of Section 337.401, Florida
Statutes, in effect on that date continue to limit local governments to a
. registration procedure as opposed to an agreement or franchise for access
to their rights-of-way, Provider shall have one hundred and twenty (120)
days to register in accordance with said section and the provisions of this
Agreement shall terminate, except as set forth in this paragraph and in
paragraph 11.7 of this Agreement. Provider shall be entitled to continue to
occupy the right-of-way subject to compliance with the one hundred
twenty (120) day registration requirement and subject to compliance with

Florida Statutes, as amended by Section 51 of SB 1338 in the 2000

be effective.
e. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Franchisee
hereby acknowledges the City's authority to impose the franchise fee

included in the calculation of either revenue streams or tax rates as may be
required or permitted by applicable law enacted as SB 1338 in the 2000
Legislative Session. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the
date of acceptance of this Agreement by the Provider, as defined in Article
6 of this Agreement and shall end five (5) years thereafter, unless extended
