held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City may, at its
sole option, deem the entire franchise to be affected and thereby nullified. However, in the event

NORTH
The intent of this exhibit is to set forth standards and requirements to be met by XO during
their construction activity proposed for the route as defined below:
This document takes into consideration the 2010 and 2020 City of Tukwila Comprehensive
Plans, and the planned designation of utility corridors within the City of Tukwila. These
standards will be applied and strictly followed until such time as the City's long -term Right
of -Way Management Plan is complete.
Definitions:
EXHIBIT B
XO COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRANCHISE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
On Grady Way, route continues westerly to Interurban Avenue South,
then North to approximately 150 feet south of 56th Avenue South.
Utility Corridor: A specifically designated corridor where future utility infrastructure is
planned in order to meet planned utility needs.
Directional Bore: A minimally- invasive construction technique in which conduit is placed
by boring pipe under the surface, and then the conduit pulled back to the start point. This
method of construction minimizes damage to the right -of -way, as well as the potential for
failing trenches.
Holidays: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Trench and Place: This is a method of construction in which the surface material (pavement,
sidewalk, landscaping) is removed, and a trench is dug in order to place conduit.
Manhole: An underground structure placed along the conduit path to allow access to the
conduit and cable.
Handhold: An underground structure not intended for placement in areas with vehicular
traffic. Can be placed under surface (requires digging to expose) or flush with sidewalk
panels (normally in a sidewalk panel).
Pot holing: A method of physically exposing existing utilities in the area of proposed
construction.
Restoration: The process of restoring the right -of -way after construction activity is complete.
Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 1
Cable: For the purposes of this document, a cable will be defined as a fiber optic cable.
Traffic Control: All traffic lane closures and pedestrian re- routing will require Traffic
Control Plans to be submitted 48 hours in advance. No daytime closures will be allowed in
areas of extreme congestion.
General Route Placement Identification:
Conduit along the above identified route will be placed, wherever possible, off the main
roadway. XO plans identify placement primarily by directional boring, except where an
open cut is specifically approved by the City Engineer.
Reauired Method of Construction:
While the City of Tukwila requests directional bore be used wherever possible, we recognize
that the amount of conduit to be placed makes this technique costly and time consuming.
Because of this fact, trenching will only be allowed in extreme cases of hardship. XO must
demonstrate this hardship by utilizing Quality level A Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).
SUE is an engineering process for accurately mapping underground utilities. XO must use
APS for this SUE work, or Tukwila approved equivalent SUE provider. Contact APS at (425)
313 -1034.
Directional bores are shown on XO's construction plans.
Permits:
The City of Tukwila will issue only those permits for streets, sidewalks and right -of -way
controlled by the City. XO is responsible for identifying and obtaining all other required
permits from State, Private and Federal agencies.
Traffic Control:
XO will be required to maintain a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction during
construction activity. Flagmen and positive traffic control signage will be required. A
detailed plan for traffic control should be submitted to the City 48 hours in advance of the
work beginning.
The primary purpose of traffic control is to maintain the safety of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic during construction activity. Any deviations that cause a potentially hazardous
situation during this activity will require immediate correction.
Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 2
Work -Hour Restrictions:
When working in the City Right -of -Way, XO shall comply with Chapter 8 of the Tukwila
Municipal Code. Upon completion of plan review, and prior to permit approval, City and XO
Representatives will meet and work out specific work hour schedules that minimizes right
of -way impact.
Manhole, Stub Conduit, and Citu Conduit Placement:
Manholes (or handholes) will be required at or near (within 75 feet) the following north-
south; east -west corridors: TBD.
NOTE: Stub Conduit will only be required at points where the conduit is placed in the
roadway at these intersections. Manholes or handholes will be placed where the conduit is in
the sidewalk or on the shoulder of the roadway.
Placement of two (2) 2" PVC Schedule 80 (Schedule 40 is acceptable in areas outside the
roadway and in bore casings) conduits for future City use shall include Utility Vault
manholes, model No. 444 with lids labeled 'City of Tukwila', at all major intersections for
City use only.
Utility Locates:
Construction locates will be called out prior to all construction activity in accordance with the
State of Washington One -Call system requirements. The Utility Locate Center telephone
number is 1- 800 424 -5555.
Restoration Reauirements:
Restore all disturbed areas of the right -of -way to conform to the specific restoration require-
ments identified in the City of Tukwila Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards,
and the WSDOT /APWA Standard Specifications.
In general, the right -of -way will be restored to equal or better condition immediately
following conduit placement. Photographs and videos showing the before condition must be
submitted, with labels of locations prior to work commencing in that vicinity.
When weather conditions prevent immediate restoration, the City Inspector will be notified,
and a schedule for restoration will be determined.
Where sidewalk panels are damaged in any way, they will be replaced, unless the City
Inspector gives written permission otherwise.
Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 3
Where roadway surface is damaged in any way, the contractor will restore trench following
the City standard patch detail.
The materials removed from the trench will not, under any circumstance, be used to backfill
after placement of the conduit. The following trench standards will be followed:
0 All trench edges will be saw -cut on both sides of the trench prior to replacement of
surface material. See Tukwila standard RS -3.
LI Minimum cover from top of conduit to road surface will be 42
o Backfill will be 5/8" Minus Compacted Crushed Rock outside roadway areas and
will be controlled density fill in all roadway areas.
0 Concrete sub -base will be placed at a depth equal to 150% of the existing sub -base
that was removed. Where no sub -base existed, concrete sub -base will be a
minimum of 6" depth.
0 Asphalt concrete or bituminous plant mix replacement will be placed at a
minimum depth of 4" above the concrete sub -base. The asphalt patch will be
placed in a "T" -cut manner to a distance of 8" on both sides of the trench.
0 Compaction of the backfill will be at 95% of maximum density, in 6" lifts.
Determination of adequacy will be by Nuclear gauge.
0 Where the conduit is placed under the sidewalk the backfill material identified
above will be used, but will be placed to the point where the sidewalk panel will be
poured.
Trench Cut Mitigation Fee:
The City of Tukwila Right of Way Management Plan provides documentation that trench
cuts cause damage to adjacent pavements, that the damage is significant, and that a
substantial asphalt concrete overlay is required to replace the loss of structural strength to the
street. The damaged is considered to impact the entire roadway lane width. For portland
cement concrete roadways, the entire slab is considered damaged and will require entire
replacement. The City has studied these cost impacts and has formulated the following fee
schedule, as a pavement trench cut mitigation fee, that is based on the square foot (SF)
measurement of the impacted roadway lane width:
