WHEREAS, AT &T Corp., a New York Corporation, "AT &T is a
telecommunications company that, among other things, provides voice and data
services to customers, including those in the Puget Sound Region; and
WHEREAS, AT &T's desired route through the City of Tukwila, hereinafter
referred to as "City," requires the use of certain portions of City rights -of -way for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of a telecommunications system; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the use of portions of the City's
rights -of -way for installation of telecommunications system is appropriate from the
standpoint of the benefits to be derived by local business and the region as a result of
such services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also recognizes that the use of public rights -of -way
must be restricted to allow for the construction of amenities necessary to serve the
future needs of the citizens of Tukwila and that the coordination, planning, and
management of the City's rights -of -way is necessary to ensure that the burden of costs
for the operations of non municipal interests are not borne by the citizenry; and

and regulate nonexclusive franchises for the use of public streets, right -of -ways, and
other public property for transmission of communications;

generally described in Exhibit A, and hereinafter referred to as the "franchise area."
B. Such Franchise shall not be deemed to be exclusive to AT &T and shall in no
way prohibit or limit the City's ability to grant other franchises, permits, or rights along,

way interfere with existing utilities or in any way limit, prohibit, or prevent, the City
from using the franchise area or affect the City's jurisdiction over such area in any way.

facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation. Such alternatives
shall include the use and operation of temporary transmitting facilities in adjacent
rights of way. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise AT &T in writing if
one or more of the alternatives are suitable to accommodate the work, which would
otherwise necessitate relocation of the facilities. If requested by the City, AT &T shall
submit additional information to assist the City in making such evaluation. The City
shall give each alternative proposed by AT &T full and fair consideration. In the event
the City ultimately determines that there is no other reasonable alternative, AT &T shall

Agreement, AT &T shall upon the request of the City, furnish a bond executed by AT &T
and a corporate surety authorized to operate a surety business in the State of

performance of AT &T's obligations under this Franchise Agreement, provided,
however, that such sum shall not exceed 150% of the cost of the telecommunications
system to be installed by AT &T in the City rights -of -way. At AT &T's sole option, AT &T
may provide alternate security in the form of an assignment of funds or a letter of
credit, in the same amount as the bond. All forms of security shall be in the form
reasonably acceptable to the City. The bond shall be conditioned so that AT &T shall
observe all the covenants, terms, and conditions and shall faithfully perform all of the
obligations of this Franchise Agreement, and to repair or replace any defective AT &T
work or materials discovered in the City's roads, streets, or property.

membership in the regional "One- Call" utility location service and shall promptly locate
all of its lines upon request. The City shall not be liable for any damages to AT &T's
system components or for interruptions in service to AT &T customers which are a
direct result of work performed for any City project for which AT &T has failed to
properly locate its lines and facilities within the prescribed time limits and guidelines
established by One -Call. The City shall also not be liable for any damages to the AT &T
system components or for interruptions in service to AT &T customers resulting from
work performed under a permit issued by the City.

K. Vacation. If, at any time, the City shall vacate any City road, right -of -way
or other City property which is subject to rights granted by this Franchise Agreement
and said vacation shall be for the purpose of acquiring the fee or other property interest
in said road, right -of -way or other City property for the use of the City, in either its

days written notice to AT &T, terminate this Franchise Agreement with reference to

compliance was reasonably possible within that 30 -day period.

1. If any of AT &T's actions, or any failure by AT &T to act to correct a
situation caused by AT &T, is deemed by the City to create a threat to life or property,
the City may order AT &T to immediately correct said threat or, at the City's discretion,
the City may undertake measures to correct said threat itself; provided that, when
possible, the City shall notify AT &T and give AT &T an opportunity to correct said

of written notice of the completion of such action or determination of damages by the

AT &T and identified by the City as a threat to public or private safety or property shall
be considered a violation of franchise terms.
2. If during construction or maintenance of AT &T's facilities any damage
occurs to an underground facility, and the damage results in the release of natural gas
or other hazardous substance or potentially endangers life, health, or property, AT &T
or its contractor shall immediately call 911 or other local emergency response number.

thereunder, and shall further provide that the policy shall not be modified or canceled
during the life of the permit or Franchise Agreement without giving 30 -days written
notice to the City. Notice shall be by certified mail, return receipt requested to the City.
C. If the City determines that circumstances warrant an increase in insurance
coverage and liability limits to adequately cover the risks of the City, the City may
require additional insurance to be acquired. The City shall provide written notice
should the City exercise its right to require additional insurance.
Section 8. Other Permits Approvals. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve
AT &T from any obligation to obtain approvals or necessary permits from applicable
federal, state, and City authorities for all activities in the franchise area.
Section 9. Transfer of Ownership.
A. The rights, privileges, benefits, title, or interest provided by this franchise shall
not be sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, without the prior written
consent of the City, with such consent not being unreasonably withheld or delayed. No

in order to secure indebtedness. Approval shall not be required for mortgaging
purposes provided that the collateral pledged for any mortgage shall not include the
assets of this franchise. Approval shall not be required for any transfer from AT &T to
another person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
AT &T.
B. In any transfer of this franchise which requires the approval of the City, AT &T
shall show that the recipient of such transfer has the technical ability, financial
capability, and any other legal or general qualifications as reasonably determined by the
City to be necessary to ensure that the obligations and terms required under this
Franchise Agreement can be met to the full satisfaction of the City. The qualifications of
any transferee shall be determined by hearing before the City Council and the approval
to such transfer shall be granted by resolution of the City Council. Any administrative
costs associated with a transfer of this franchise which require the approval of the City,
shall be reimbursed to the City within 30 days of such transfer.
Section 10. Administrative Fees.

those of a telephone business as defined in RCW 82.04.065.

AT &T Corp.
Right -of -Way Engineering
3001 Cobb Parkway, NW Room 162
Atlanta GA 30339
A. AT &T shall use reasonable and appropriate precautions to avoid damage to
persons or property in the construction, installation, repair, operation, and maintenance
of its structures and facilities. AT &T shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from
all claims, actions or damages, including reasonable attorney's and expert witness fees,
which may accrue to or be suffered by any person or persons, corporation or property
to the extent caused in part or in whole by any negligent act or omission of AT &T, its
officers, agents, servants or employees, carried on in the furtherance of the rights,
benefits, and privileges granted to AT &T by this Franchise. In the event any claim or
demand is presented to or filed with the City which gives rise to AT &T's obligation
pursuant to this section, the City shall, within a reasonable tune, notify AT &T thereof
and AT &T shall have a right, at its election, to settle or compromise such claim or
demand. In the event any claim or action is commenced in which the City is named a
party, and which suit or action is based on a claim or demand which gives rise to
AT &T's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall promptly notify AT &T
thereof, and AT &T shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend such suit or action by
attorneys of its own election. In defense of such suit or action, AT &T may, at its election
and at its sole cost and expense, settle or compromise such suit or action. This section
shall not be construed to require AT &T to:
1. protect and save the City harmless from any claims, actions, or damages;
2. settle or compromise any claim, demand, suit, or action;
3. appear in or defend any suit or action; or,
4. pay any judgment or reimburse the City's costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees), to the extent such claim arises out of the negligence or
intentional acts of the City, its employees, agents or independent contractors.
B. To the extent of any concurrent negligence between AT &T and the City,
AT &T's obligations under this paragraph shall only extend to its share of negligence or
fault. The City shall have the right at all times to participate through its own attorney in
any suit or action which arises out of any right, privilege, and authority granted by or
exercised pursuant to this Franchise when the City determines that such participation is
required to protect the interests of the City or the public. Such participation by the City
shall be at the City's sole cost and expense.
C. With respect to the performance of this Franchise and as to claims against the
City, its officers, agents and employees, AT &T expressly waives its immunity under
Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to
its officers, agents and employees and agrees that the obligation to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless provided for in this paragraph extends to any claim brought by or
on behalf of AT &T's officers, agents or employees. This waiver is mutually negotiated
by the parties.
Section 13. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction,
C: \Documents and Settings \All Users\ Desktop \Kelly \MSDATA \Ordinances \AT &T Franchise.doc
FI:ksn 8/18/2006
Page 6 of 7
either party may deem the entire ordinance to be affected and thereby nullified.
However, in the event that a determination is made that a section, sentence, clause, or
phrase in this ordinance is invalid or unconstitutional, the parties may agree to treat the
portion declared invalid or unconstitutional as severable and maintain in force the
remaining provisions of this ordinance; provided that, if the City elects, without
agreement by AT &T, to enforce the remaining provisions of the ordinance, AT &T shall
have the option to terminate the Franchise Agreement.
Section 14. Reservation of Rights. The parties agree that this agreement is
intended to satisfy the requirements of all applicable laws, administrative guidelines,
rules, orders, and ordinances. Accordingly, any provision of this agreement or any local
ordinance which may conflict with or violate the law shall be invalid and
unenforceable, whether occurring before or after the execution of this agreement, it
being the intention of the parties to preserve their respective rights and remedies under
the law, and that the execution of this agreement does not constitute a waiver of any
rights or obligations by either party under the law.
Section 15. Police Powers. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to affect the
City's authority to exercise its police powers. AT &T shall not by this Franchise
Agreement obtain any vested rights to use any portion of the City right -of -way except
for the locations approved by the City and then only subject to the terms and conditions
of this Franchise Agreement. This Franchise Agreement and the permits issued
thereunder shall be governed by applicable City ordinances in effect at the time of
application for such permits.
Section 16. Future Rules, Regulations, and Specifications. AT &T acknowledges
that the City may develop rules, regulations, and specifications, including a general
ordinance or other regulations governing telecommunications operations in the City.
Such regulations, upon written notice to AT &T, shall thereafter govern AT &T's
activities hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall regulations:
A. materially interfere with or adversely affect AT &T's rights pursuant to
and in accordance with this Franchise Agreement; or
B. be applied in a discriminatory manner as it pertains to AT &T and other
similar user of such facilities.
Section 17. Effective Date. This ordinance, or a summary thereof, shall be
published in the official newspaper of the City, and shall take effect and be in full force
and effect five days after passage and publication as provided by law.
