APPROPRIATION REQUIRED $0.00 City of Tukwila TO: Mayor Haggerton Utilities Committee FROM: Public Works Director) DATE: June 11, 2009 INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: AT &T Franchise Aareement Renewal Ordinance ISSUE AT &T Corp Franchise Renewal and repeal Ordinance No. 2128. BACKGROUND Jim Haggerton, Mayor On August 26, 2006, City Council passed Ordinance 2128 (Franchise Agreement) authorizing AT &T Corp. to install, operate and maintain a telecommunications system in the public rights of -way. Ordinance 2128 will expire on August 30, 2009. DISCUSSION Throughout the current franchise term, AT &T Corp. has maintained a professional relationship with the City. The new non exclusive Franchise Agreement (attached) calls for a three -year term and contains some changes in the Terms and Conditions. The most significant change pertains to the utilities relocation requirements. Section 5E of the new agreement provides for a more comprehensive utility relocation provision that would greatly benefit our Project Managers and minimize the risk for change orders. RECOMMENDATION Approve the Ordinance for the new franchise agreement with AT &T Corp. and consider this item at the July 13, 2009 Committee -of- the -Whole Meeting and subsequent July 20, 2009 Regular Meeting.

WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 2128, dated August 30, 2006, granted AT &T Corp. a three -year, non exclusive franchise that expires on August 30, 2009; and 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 WHEREAS, the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) authorizes the City to grant, and regulate nonexclusive franchises for the use of public streets, right -of -ways, and other public property for transmission of communications; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Non exclusive Franchise Granted. A. The City hereby grants to AT &T, subject to the conditions prescribed in this ordinance "Franchise Agreement the franchise rights and authority to construct, replace, repair, monitor, maintain, use and operate the equipment and facilities necessary for a telecommunications facility within the City -owned rights -of -way 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, over, or under the areas to which this Franchise has been granted to AT provided, that such other franchises do not unreasonably interfere with AT &T's exercise of franchise rights granted herein as determined by the City. This Franchise shall in no Page 1 of 8 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. Section 2. Authority. The Director of Public Works or his or her designee is hereby granted the authority to administer and enforce the terms and provisions of this Franchise Agreement and may develop such lawful and reasonable rules, policies, and procedures as he or she deems necessary to carry out the provisions contained herein. Section 3. Franchise Term. The franchise rights granted herein shall remain in full force and effect for a period of three years from the effective date of this ordinance. This Franchise shall not take effect and AT &T shall have no rights under this Franchise unless a written acceptance with the City is received pursuant to Section 4 of this agreement. If AT &T requests a Franchise renewal prior to the expiration date, the City may, at the City's sole discretion, extend the term of this Franchise for up to one year beyond the expiration date to allow processing of renewal. If the City elects to extend the term of this Franchise, written notice of the extension shall be provided to AT &T prior to the Franchise expiration date. Section 4. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. The full acceptance of this Franchise and all the terms and conditions shall be filed with the City Clerk within 30 days of the effective date of this ordinance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Failure on the part of AT &T to file said consent within 30 days of the effective date of this ordinance shall void and nullify any and all rights granted under this Franchise Agreement. Section 5. Construction Provisions and Standards. The following provisions shall be considered mandatory and failure to abide by any conditions described herein shall be deemed as non compliance with the terms of this Franchise Agreement and may result in some or all of the penalties specified in Section 6. A. Permit Required. No construction, maintenance, or repairs (except for emergency repairs) shall be undertaken in the franchise area without first obtaining appropriate permits from the City of Tukwila, Department of Public Works. In case of an emergency, AT &T shall within 24 hours of the emergency, obtain a permit from the City of Tukwila Department of Public Works. B. Coordination. All capital construction projects performed by AT &T within the franchise area shall be inspected by a City inspector. All work and inspection shall be coordinated with the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department to ensure consistency with City infrastructure, future Capital Improvement Projects, all developer improvements, and pertinent codes and ordinances. C. Construction Standards. Any construction, installation, maintenance, and restoration activities performed by or for AT &T within the franchise area shall be constructed and located so as to produce the least amount of interference with the free passage of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. All construction, installation, maintenance, and restoration activities shall be conducted such that they conform to City's development guidelines and standards and comply with Title 11 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. D. Underground Installation Required. All telecommunications cables and junction boxes or other vaulted system components shall be installed underground unless otherwise exempted from this requirement, in writing, by the Director of Public Works. E. Relocation. 1. Whenever the City causes a public improvement to be constructed within the franchise area, and such public improvement requires the relocation of AT &T's faciliies, the City shall provide AT &T with written notice requesting such relocation, along with plans for the public improvement that are sufficiently complete to allow for an initial evaluation, coordination and the development of a relocation W: Word Processing Ordinances AT &T Franchise.doc FLksn 6/18/2009 Page 2 of 8 plan. The City and AT &T shall meet at a time and location determined by the City to discuss the project requirements including critical timelines, schedules, construction standards, utility conflicts, as -built requirements, and other pertinent relocation plan details. 2. To ensure timely execution of relocation requirements, AT &T shall upon written request from the City, provide at AT &T's expense, base maps, current as -built information, detailed relocation plan (including detailed schedule of relocation activities, identification of critical path, identification of facilities, and relocation procedures), and other design, technical or operational requirements within the timeframe specified by the City. 3. AT &T may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its 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 relocate its facilities as otherwise provided in Section 5E. 4. Upon final approval of the relocation plan by the City, AT &T shall at its own expense, unless otherwise prohibited by statute, and at the timeframe specified by the City, temporarily or permanently remove, relocate, place underground, change or alter the position of any facilities or structures within the right -of -way whenever the City has determined that such removal, relocation, undergrounding, change or alteration is reasonably necessary for the construction, repair, maintenance, installation, public safety, or operation of any public improvement in or upon the rights -of -way. 5. If during the construction, repair, or maintenance of City's public improvement project an unexpected conflict occurs from AT &T's facilities, AT &T shall upon notification from the City, respond within 24 hours to resolve the conflict.

No facility constructed or owned by AT &T may be abandoned without the express written consent of the City. G. Bond. Before undertaking any of the work, installation, improvements, construction, repair, relocation, or maintenance authorized by this Franchise 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 Washington, in such sum as may be set and approved by the City as sufficient to ensure 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. H. "One- Call" Location Liability. AT &T shall subscribe to and maintain 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 W:\ Word Processing \Ordinances \AT &T Franchise.doc F1:ksn 6/18/2009 Page 3 of 8 properly locate its lines and facilities within the prescribed time limits and guidelines established by One -Call.

AT &T shall be subject to all permit fees associated with activities undertaken through the authority granted in this Franchise Agreement or under ordinances of 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 proprietary or governmental capacity, then the City may, at its option and by giving 30- days written notice to AT &T, terminate this Franchise Agreement with reference to such City road, right -of -way or other City property so vacated, and the City shall not be liable for any damages or loss to AT &T by reason of such termination other than those provided for in RCW 35.99.

B. Emergency Actions. 1.

AT &T shall be liable for all costs, expenses, and damages attributed to the correction of such an emergency situation as undertaken by the City to the extent that such situation was caused by AT &T and shall further be liable for all costs, expenses, and damages resulting to the City from such situation and any reimbursement of such costs to the City shall be made within 30 days of written notice of the completion of such action or determination of damages by the City. The failure by AT &T to take appropriate action to correct a situation caused by AT &T and identified by the City as a threat to public or private safety or property, financial harm, or delay of construction, repair or maintenance of the public improvement 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 W: Word Processing \Ordinances \AT &T Franchise.doc FI:ksn 6/18/2009 Page 4 of 8 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.

D. Removal of System. In the event that this Franchise Agreement is terminated as a result of violations of the terms of this Franchise Agreement, AT &T shall at its sole expense, promptly remove all system components and facilities, provided that the City, at its sole option, may allow AT &T to abandon its facilities in place. Section 7. Insurance. A. AT &T shall maintain liability insurance written on a per- occurrence basis during the full term of this franchise for personal injuries and property damages. The policy shall contain coverage in the amounts and conditions stipulated in Title 11 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. B. Such insurance shall specifically name as additional insured, the City, its officers, and employees, shall apply as primary insurance, shall stipulate that no insurance affected by the City will be called on to contribute to a loss covered 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.

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 time, 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, Page 6 of 8 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, 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.

UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 6 REGULAR MEETING FOR DISCUSSION. C. NPDES Program Consultant Selection and Agreement Staff is seeking full Council approval of a consultant agreement with R.W. Beck in the amount of $24,502 for assistance in adopting a new surface water storm design manual and supporting documents in order to be in compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater requirements. Per NPDES requirements, the City must adopt a stormwater manual which is equivalent to the 2005 Department of Ecology's Surface Water Design Manual by February 15, 2010. A six -month extension was granted to all cities from the original due date of August 15, 2009. R.W. Beck, chosen from the City's current Consultant Roster, will perform professional services to assist the City in updating relative ordinances, development guidelines, and design and construction standards to adopt the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual with modifications as the City's own manual. This is anticipated to be a lengthy and detailed process. Although this item is slightly under the Council approval threshold of $25,000, staff opted to bring the item forward for approval since any contract changes or supplemental agreements could push the contract over the approval threshold. Committee members noted that this requirement is an unfunded mandate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D. Ordinance Amending TMC Chanter 14 Sewer Discharge of Fats. Oils and Greases Staff is seeking full Council approval to amend and update the Tukwila Municipal Code (Chapter 14) relative to the unlawful discharge of fats, oils and greases into the City's sanitary sewer system. Major changes outlined in the draft ordinance include: an increased emphasis on grease, addition of an enforcement section and interceptors, and definitions of fats, oils and greases. It is anticipated that these changes will decrease the maintenance needed to keep City sewer pipelines clear as well as reduce grease levels in the Central Business District. Staff noted that an updated copy of draft ordinance reflecting all changes, via strikeout and underlining, will be included in the July 13 COW agenda packet. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION. E. 2008 Drinking Water Ouality Report Staff reviewed information included in the Drinking Water Annual Quality Report for 2008. The City is required by the Department of Health to make this information available. This information will be distributed to the community as an insert in the water bills. Additionally, this information will be distributed to multi family complexes and businesses who may not receive individual water bills. INFORMATION ONLY. F. AT &T Franchise Agreement Renewal Ordinance No. 2128 Staff is seeking full Council approval of an ordinance renewing the City's franchise agreement with AT &T Corporation.
