INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Utilities Committee
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: March 15, 2010
SUBJECT: AboveNet Communications Franchise
Ordinance
ISSUE
AboveNet Communications Franchise Agreement renewal ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 2006, City Council passed Ordinance No. 2145 (Franchise Agreement)
authorizing AboveNet Communications to install, operate, and maintain a telecommunications
system in the City's right -of -way. Ordinance No. 2145 expired on 12/12/09.
AboveNet Communications (formerly Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc) is a
telecommunications company that provides customized network solutions and high bandwidth
connectivity. AboveNet's network is widely used in financial institutions, healthcare, government
and businesses with significant bandwidth requirements.
DISCUSSION
AboveNet's fiber optic system was constructed in 2000 through joint fiber optic construction
projects with 360 Networks, McLeodUSA Incorporated, and Williams Communications. As
depicted in Exhibit A of the Franchise ordinance, AboveNet has an extensive fiber optic
infrastructure in the City. AboveNet has no immediate construction plans to expand its
infrastructure in Tukwila, but will need to continue operating in the City's right -of -way. The
Franchise Agreement has been coordinated with the City Attorney's office.
This Ordinance will grant AboveNet a franchise agreement with the City for an additional three
years.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Ordinance for a Franchise Agreement with AboveNet Communications and consider
this item at the April 12, 2010 Committee of the Whole Meeting and subsequent April 19, 2010
Regular Meeting.

DRAFT
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, GRANTING A NON EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE TO
ABOVENET COMMUNICATIONS, LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO
CONDUCT BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, FOR THE
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING, OPERATING AND MAINTAINING A
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IN CERTAIN PUBLIC RIGHTS -OF-
WAY IN THE CITY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, AboveNet Communications, hereinafter referred to as "AboveNet," is a
telecommunications company that, among other things, provides voice and data
services to customers, including those in the Puget Sound region; and
WHEREAS, AboveNet'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 a 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 non exclusive 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 AboveNet, 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 AboveNet 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 AboveNet;
provided, that such other franchises do not unreasonably interfere with AboveNet's
exercise of franchise rights granted herein as determined by the City. This franchise
shall in no 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.

granted the authority to administer and enforce the terms and provisions of this
W:\ Word Processing Ordinances AboveNet Franchise Agreement.doc

Page 1 of 9
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 AboveNet shall have no rights under this
franchise unless a written acceptance with the City is received pursuant to Section 4 of
this agreement. If AboveNet 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
AboveNet 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 AboveNet 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, AboveNet 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 AboveNet 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 AboveNet within the franchise area shall be
constructed and located so as to produce the least amount of interference with the free

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 AboveNet's
facilities, the City shall provide AboveNet with written notice requesting such
relocation, along with plans for the public improvement that are sufficiently complete
to allow for the initial evaluation, coordination and the development of a relocation
plan. The City and AboveNet 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, AboveNet shall, upon
written request from the City, provide at AboveNet's expense, base maps, current as-

procedures), and other design, technical or operational requirements within the
timeframe specified by the City.

facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation within the time
specified by the City. Such alternatives shall include the use and operation of temporary
facilities in adjacent rights of way. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise
AboveNet 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, AboveNet shall submit additional information to assist the City in making such
evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by AboveNet full and fair
consideration. In the event the City ultimately determines there is no other reasonable
alternative, AboveNet shall relocate its facilities as otherwise specified in Section 5.E.

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

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.

improvement project an unexpected conflict occurs from AboveNet's facilities,
AboveNet shall upon notification from the City, respond within 24 hours to resolve the
conflict.

antennas or other associated structures, facilities and amenities, AboveNet shall comply

Washington, in such sum as may be set and approved by the City as sufficient to ensure
performance of AboveNet'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 AboveNet in the City rights -of -way. At AboveNet's sole
option, AboveNet 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 AboveNet

the obligations of this Franchise Agreement, and to repair or replace any defective
AboveNet work or materials discovered in the City's roads, streets or property.

the public improvement, the City may order AboveNet to immediately correct said
threat, financial harm, or delay or, at the City's discretion, the City may undertake

delivered to the following addresses respectively:
City of Tukwila

White Plains NY 100601
Section 12. Indemnification.
A. AboveNet 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. AboveNet 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
AboveNet, its officers, agents, servants or employees, carried on in the furtherance of
the rights, benefits, and privileges granted to AboveNet by this franchise. In the event
any claim or demand is presented to or filed with the City which gives rise to
AboveNet's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall within a reasonable time
notify AboveNet thereof and AboveNet 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 AboveNet's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall
promptly notify AboveNet thereof, and AboveNet 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, AboveNet 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 AboveNet
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 AboveNet and the City,
AboveNet'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, AboveNet expressly waives its immunity under
Title 51 of the RCW, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to its officers, agents and
W:\ Word Processing \Ordinances \AboveNet Franchise Agreeunent.doc
FL:ksn 03/17/2010
Page 6 of 9
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
AboveNet'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
AboveNet, to enforce the remaining provisions of the ordinance, AboveNet 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. AboveNet 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. AboveNet 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 AboveNet, shall thereafter govern AboveNet's
activities hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall regulations:
1. materially interfere with or adversely affect AboveNet's rights pursuant to
and in accordance with this Franchise Agreement; or
2. be applied in a discriminatory manner as it pertains to AboveNet and other
similar user of such facilities.
Section 17. Effective Date. This ordinance or a surrunary thereof shall be published
in the official newspaper of the City, and shall take effect and be in full force five days
after passage and publication as provided by law.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, GRANTING A NON EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE TO
PAETEC HOLDING CORPORATION, AN IOWA CORPORATION
LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING, OPERATING
AND MAINTAINING A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IN CERTAIN
PUBLIC RIGHTS -OF -WAY IN THE CITY; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, PAETEC Holding Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "PAETEC," is
a telecommunications company that, among other things, provides voice and data
services to customers, including those in the Puget Sound region; and
WHEREAS, PAETEC'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 a 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 non exclusive 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 PAETEC, 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 PAETEC 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 PAETEC; provided,
that such other franchises do not unreasonably interfere with PAETEC's exercise of
franchise rights granted herein as determined by the City. This franchise shall in no
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
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \PAETEC Franchise Agreenent.doc
FI:ksn 03/17/2010
Page 1 of 9
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 PAETEC shall have no rights under this
franchise unless a written acceptance with the City is received pursuant to Section 4 of
this agreement. If PAETEC 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
PAETEC 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 PAETEC 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, PAETEC 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 PAETEC 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 PAETEC 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 PAETEC's
facilities, the City shall provide PAETEC with written notice requesting such relocation,
along with plans for the public improvement that are sufficiently complete to allow for
the initial evaluation, coordination and the development of a relocation plan. The City
and PAETEC 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, PAETEC shall, upon
written request from the City, provide at PAETEC'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. PAETEC may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its
facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation within the time
specified by the City. Such alternatives shall include the use and operation of temporary
facilities in adjacent rights of way. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise
PAETEC 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, PAETEC shall submit additional information to assist the City in making such
evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by PAETEC full and fair
consideration. In the event the City ultimately determines there is no other reasonable
alternative, PAETEC shall relocate its facilities as otherwise specified in Section 5.E.
4. Upon final approval of the relocation plan by the City, PAETEC 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 PAETEC's facilities, PAETEC
shall upon notification from the City, respond within 24 hours to resolve the conflict.
F. Removal or Abandonment. Upon the removal from service of any service
antennas or other associated structures, facilities and amenities, PAETEC shall comply
with all applicable standards and requirements prescribed by the City of Tukwila Public
Works Department for the removal or abandonment of said structures and facilities. No
facility constructed or owned by PAETEC 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, PAETEC shall, upon the request of the City, furnish a bond executed by
PAETEC 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 PAETEC'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 PAETEC in the City rights -of -way. At PAETEC's sole option,
PAETEC 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 PAETEC
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
PAETEC work or materials discovered in the City's roads, streets or property.
H. "One- Call" Location Liability. PAETEC 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 PAETEC's
system components or for interruptions in service to PAETEC customers which are a
direct result of work performed for any City project for which PAETEC 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
PAETEC system components or for interruptions in service to PAETEC customers
resulting from work performed under a permit issued by the City.
I. As -Built Plans Required. PAETEC shall maintain accurate engineering plans
and details of all installations within the City limits and shall provide such information
in both paper form and electronic form using the most current Autocad version prior to
close -out of any permits issued by the City and any work undertaken by PAETEC
W: \Word Processing Ordinances \PAETEC Franchise Agreement.doc
FI:ksn 03/17/2010
Page 3 of 9
pursuant to this Franchise Agreement. The City shall determine the acceptability of any
as -built submittals provided under this section.
J. Recovery of Costs. PAETEC 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. Where the City incurs costs and expenses for review or
inspection of activities undertaken through the authority granted in this Franchise
Agreement or any ordinances relating to the subject for which permit fees have not
been established, PAETEC shall pay such reasonable costs and expenses directly to 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 PAETEC, 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 PAETEC by reason of such termination other than
those provided for in RCW 35.99.
Section 6. Franchise Compliance.
A. Franchise Violations. The failure by PAETEC to fully comply with any of the
provisions of this Franchise Agreement may result in a written notice from the City that
describes the violations of the franchise and requests remedial action within 30 days of
receipt of such notice. If PAETEC has not attained full compliance at the end of the 30-
day period following receipt of the violation notification, the City may declare an
immediate termination of all franchise rights and privileges, provided that full
compliance was reasonably possible within that 30 -day period.
B. Emergency Actions.
1. If any of PAETEC's actions, or any failure by PAETEC to act to correct a
situation caused by PAETEC, is deemed by the City to create a threat to life or property,
financial harm, or cause a delay of the construction, repair or maintenance of the public
improvement, the City may order PAETEC to immediately correct said threat, financial
harm, or delay or, at the City's discretion, the City may undertake measures to correct
said threat, financial harm or delay itself; provided that, when possible, the City shall
notify PAETEC and give PAETEC an opportunity to correct within a specified time said
threat, financial harm or delay before undertaking such corrective measures. PAETEC
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 PAETEC 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 PAETEC to take appropriate
action to correct a situation caused by PAETEC and identified by the City as a threat to
public or private safety or property, financial harm, or delay of the construction, repair
or maintenance of the public improvement shall be considered a violation of franchise
terms.
2. If during construction or maintenance of PAETEC'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, PAETEC or
its contractor shall immediately call 911 or other local emergency response number.
C. Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Franchise Agreement shall limit the
City's available remedies in the event of PAETEC's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Franchise Agreement, to include but not limited to, the City's right to
a lawsuit for specific performance and /or damages.
D. Removal of System. In the event this Franchise Agreement is terminated as a
result of violations of the terms of this Franchise Agreement, PAETEC shall, at its sole

expense, promptly remove all system components and facilities, provided that the City,
at its sole option, may allow PAETEC to abandon its facilities in place.
Section 7. Insurance.
A. PAETEC 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.

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
PAETEC 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
such consent shall be required, however, for a transfer in trust, by other hypothecation,
or by assignment or any rights, title or interest in PAETEC's telecommunications system
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 PAETEC to
another person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
PAETEC.
B. In any transfer of this franchise which requires the approval of the City, PAETEC
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 requires the approval of the City,
shall be reimbursed to the City within 30 days of such transfer.
Section 10. Administrative Fees.
A. Pursuant to the RCW, the City is precluded from imposing franchise fees for
"telephone businesses" defined in RCW 82.04.065, except that fees may be collected for
administrative expenses related to such franchise. PAETEC does hereby warrant that its
operations, as authorized under this franchise, are those of a telephone business as
defined in RCW 82.04.065.
B. PAETEC shall be subject to a $5,000 administrative fee for reimbursement of
costs associated with the preparation, processing and approval of this Franchise
Agreement. These costs shall include, but not be limited to, wages, benefits, overhead

franchise, or submits a complex project that requires significant comprehensive plan
review or inspection, PAETEC shall reimburse City for franchise amendment and
expenses associated with the project. PAETEC shall pay such costs within 30 days of
receipt of bill from the City.
D. Failure by PAETEC to make full payment of bills within the time specified shall

delivered to the following addresses respectively:

Section 12. Indemnification.
A. PAETEC 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. PAETEC 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 PAETEC, its
officers, agents, servants or employees, carried on in the furtherance of the rights,
benefits, and privileges granted to PAETEC by this franchise. In the event any claim or
demand is presented to or filed with the City which gives rise to PAETEC's obligation
pursuant to this section, the City shall within a reasonable time notify PAETEC thereof
and PAETEC 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
PAETEC's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall promptly notify PAETEC
thereof, and PAETEC 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, PAETEC 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 PAETEC 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 PAETEC and the City,
PAETEC'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, PAETEC expressly waives its immunity under
Title 51 of the RCW, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to its officers, agents and
W:\ Word Processing Ordinances \PAETEC Franchise Agreement.doc
FI:ksn 03/17/2010
Page 6 of 9
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
PAETEC'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
PAETEC, to enforce the remaining provisions of the ordinance, PAETEC 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. PAETEC 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. PAETEC 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 PAETEC, shall thereafter govern PAETEC's
activities hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall regulations:
1. materially interfere with or adversely affect PAETEC's rights pursuant to and
in accordance with this Franchise Agreement; or
2. be applied in a discriminatory manner as it pertains to PAETEC 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 five days
after passage and publication as provided by law.

SUBJECT: 2010 Annual Small Drainage Program
Project No. 10 -DR01
Consultant Recommendation Agreement
ISSUE
Approve KPG, Inc. to design the 2010 Annual Small Drainage Program.
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
BACKGROUND
The Annual Small Drainage Program repairs surface water projects that are identified through maintenance
activities as well as citizen complaints. This year, we are proposing the design of three projects for
construction in 2010.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works staff reviewed the list of known system deficiencies and compiled a list of three projects for
design and construction in 2010. The three projects selected are:
1. Gilliam Creek Regional Detention Facility Install safety railing and access platform.
2. Gilliam Creek, S 154 Street Crossing Reconstruct existing rack structure and provide ramp access.
3. Tukwila International Blvd Replace existing failed 18" CMP with new pipe.
The current consultant roster was reviewed and three firms were short- listed to design the selected three
projects. The firms were: KPG Inc., PACE Engineers, and RW Beck. The firm's Summary of Qualifications
were evaluated and scored. KPG, Inc. was selected as the firm that best met the requirements of this type of
project. KPG, Inc. has designed the Annual Small Drainage Program since 1991 and Public Works staff
continues to be very satisfied with their work. KPG, Inc. has a good working relationship with the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife, is knowledgeable of City requirements, remains flexible to design changes,
and continues to complete design within the budget.
It is recommended that KPG Inc. design the 2010 Annual Small Drainage Program for a fee of $47,990.16.

ISSUE
Review the City's 2010 Stormwater Management Program and the 2009 National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Annual Report.
BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires the City to implement a
comprehensive Stormwater Management Program (SWMP), which complies with the requirements
outlined in the City's NPDES Phase II permit that became effective February 16, 2007. The
conditions of the permit require that the City develop a SWMP and submit annual reports to the
Department of Ecology outlining our progress by March 31 of each year.
DISCUSSION
The Stormwater Management Program is updated annually to reflect any required changes and to
provide greater detail as various programs are fully developed. Once submitted to the Department
of Ecology, this plan will be used to determine whether permit obligations are being met. Attached is
the updated 2010 Stormwater Management Program. The final program will be completed by
August 19, 2011.
In addition, staff completed the 2009 Annual Report that reflects activities completed by the City in
2009. The annual report must be signed by the City Administrator and both documents must be
sent to the Department of Ecology by the reporting deadline of March 31, 2010.

1. INTRODUCTION
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a
requirement of the federal Clean Water Act. The federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies. In
Washington, the NPDES delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department
of Ecology (DOE). The City must comply with the Phase II Municipal Stormwater
Permit.
This document was prepared by the City of Tukwila to meet the requirements for a
Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) as required by the NPDES Phase II Permit
issued by DOE. The SWMP was developed to outline the reduction of pollutant
discharges from the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).
The Permit allows discharge of stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into
the state's waterbodies (i.e., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, etc.) as long as
municipalities implement programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of
"non -point source" pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable" (MEP). In addition,
the City must meet "all known and reasonable treatment" (AKART) through application
of Permit specified "best management practices" (BMPs). The practices specified in the
Permit are collectively referred to as the SWMP and grouped under the following
program components:
o Public Education and Outreach
o Public Involvement and Participation
o Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
o Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction
Sites
o Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations
The Permit requires that the City report annually (by March 31 of each year) on the
SWMP implementation from the prior year. The Permit also requires submittal of
documentation that describes proposed program activities for the coming year. As of
December 31, 2009, the City meets the initial Permit requirements.

2. NPDES PHASE II PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Tukwila is defined as a Phase II community by the Washington State Department of
Ecology, and therefore, is required to comply with the requirements of the Phase II
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Stormwater (NPDES) Permit. Phase II
communities are those that:
o Own and operate a storm drain system
o Discharge to surface waters of the state
o Are located in urbanized areas
o Have a population of more than 1,000.
Phase II communities were required to complete a NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit
Application and submit to DOE by March 10, 2003. The NPDES Phase II Permit
(Permit) was issued to Tukwila on January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 16,
2007. The Permit was modified on June 17, 2009 and expires on February 15, 2012.
As stated, the major program components listed in the Permit are as follows:
o Public Education and Outreach.
o Public Involvement and Participation.
o Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination.
o Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction
Sites.
o Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations.
The following sections describe each of the program components and how the City is
currently addressing each requirement and the City's future planned activities. In general,
the City of Tukwila is currently performing all required NPDES Phase II Permit activities
and has programs in place to address future requirements.
2.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
2.1.1 Permit Requirements
Section S5.C.1 of the Phase II permit requires that the City provide an educational and
outreach program for the area served by its MS4 no later than 2/15/2009. The purpose of
this program is to reduce or eliminate behaviors and practices that cause or contribute to
adverse stormwater impacts. The educational program will target audiences including:
the general public, businesses, industries, elected officials, policy makers, planning staff,
engineers, maintenance staff, and other City employees. Records of public education and
outreach activities including measurements of understanding and adoption of targeted
behaviors need to be tracked and maintained throughout the Permit's duration.

reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff to its MS4 from any new development,
redevelopment, and construction site activities that result in a land disturbance of greater
than or equal to one acre including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger
common plan of the development or sale. The minimum elements included in this
program are:
o An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address runoff from new
development, redevelopment, and construction site projects. City codes,
ordinances and development specifications may require smaller sites to
comply with these requirements as well.
o Develop and implement a permit process with plan review, inspection, and
enforcement capability including adequate long -term operation and
maintenance of the stormwater facilities and infrastructure.
o Develop and implement procedures for documenting inspections and
enforcement actions.
o Make available copies of the Notice of Intent for Construction Activity and
Notice of Intent for Industrial Activity for representatives of new
developments and redevelopments.
o Develop and implement a training program for staff responsible for
implementing the program to control stormwater runoff from new
development, redevelopment and construction sites including permitting, plan
review, construction site inspections and enforcement.
2.4.2 Current Activities
The City has an active program to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from new
development, redevelopment, and construction site activities. The existing program
applies to both public and private projects, including roads. The current compliance
activities associated with the above permit requirements are summarized below:
1. Construction Site Inspection
All sites are inspected by the City prior to the start of construction and track and
maintain inspections and enforcement actions by staff.
2. Design Standards
The City uses the minimum design standards of the 1998 King County Surface
Water Design Manual with an option to use DOE's Surface Water Management
Manual for Western Washington.
City of Tukwila
Stormwater Management Program /0 of 16 March, 2010
3. Construction Standards

2.5 POLLUTION PREVENTION AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
2.5.1 Permit Requirements
This minimum control measure requires that the City provide a pollution prevention and
operation and maintenance program including a training component that has the ultimate
goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. All elements
of the operations and maintenance program must be in place by February 16, 2010. The
minimum elements included in this program component are:
1. Establishinent of maintenance standards that are as protective, or more protective,
of facility functions than those specified in Chapter 4 of Volume V of the 2005
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. The purpose of the
maintenance standards is to determine if maintenance is required on a particular
facility or structure. If maintenance is deemed necessary during inspection, the
following schedule is required for completion of the required maintenance:
o Within 6 months for typical maintenance
o Within 9 months for maintenance requiring re- vegetation
o Within 1 year for wet pool facilities and retention /detention pond
o Within 2 years for maintenance that requires capital construction of less
than $25,000.
2. The City will develop an annual inspection program for flow control facilities and
will do spot checks after major storm events for damage.
3. The inspection program will include inspections of all catch basins and inlets in
the MS4 before the Permit expiration date.
4. Inspections will be documented with the work needed or completed on the
stormwater facilities according to the Permit requirements for reporting.
5. The City will develop and implement a program to reduce the stormwater impacts
from streets, parking lots, roads, highways, and other lands owned, operated or
maintained by the City, including road maintenance.
6. The City will develop and implement a training program for City employees
whose job functions may impact stormwater quality.
7. The City will develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all
heavy equipment maintenance yards and material storage facilities owned or
operated by the City that is not required to have coverage under the Industrial
Stormwater General Permit.
City of Tukwila
Stormwater Management Program 12 of 16 March, 2010
2.5.2 Current Activities
The City has an active pollution prevention and operation and maintenance program
implemented by the City's Surface Water Maintenance Division. This program includes
the following activities:
1. Catch Basin Inspection
The City will inspect all catch basins and inlets owned and operated by the City at
least once before the end of the permit term (minimum 5 -year rotating schedule).
If the catch basin has over 6 inches of deposited sediment in the sump, it will be
cleaned.
2. Conveyance System Inspection/Cleaning
The City's piped stone drainage system has been delineated into zones by the
Public Works staff. Pipe system maintenance is scheduled by zone, and each zone
is maintained on a 3 to 5 -year cycle. This includes repair of all pipes and catch
basins, with particular attention given to chronic problem areas and areas for
which complaints have been received from citizens.
3. Flow /Water Quality Facilities
The City inspects all surface water flow control and water quality facilities on an
annual basis. Maintenance is performed as needed and includes vegetative
control, structure repair, and sediment removal. Maintenance is performed at
least once every 10 years, or as needed through the current inspection and
compliant processes.
4. Drainage Complaints
The City responds to all stormwater- related complaints. Complaints are submitted
to the City through Requests for Action (RFAs), Environmental Report Tracking
System (ERTS), City Council meetings, letters, e- mails, and telephone calls.
These complaints are forwarded to the appropriate division and /or to the
respective property owner /project site.
5. Problem Areas
Maintenance staff keeps an informal list of problem areas occurring in the City's
ditch system. These problem areas are maintained every 3- to 5- years.
6. Video Inspection
The City maintains an annual closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection
schedule of its existing pipeline system to help identify illegal connections to
drainage systems and damaged sections of pipe. This information is used to
schedule repairs and further investigate illicit discharges and connections.
7. Hazardous Material Spills
Tukwila Fire Department responds to hazardous material spills. Though City
maintenance crews are often the first group to respond to spill complaints, they
are limited to the use of absorbent pillows and oil absorbing particulate materials.
City of Tukwila
Stortnwater Management Program 13 of 16 March, 2010
2.5.3 Planned Activities
The City will continue with all programs and procedures currently in place. In addition to
these the City will conduct the following activities in 2010:
1. Procedural Review
o The City will review and revise, when necessary, all current practices that
reduce impacts from runoff or maintenance activities associated with
municipally owned or operated streets, parking lots, and roads.
o The City will develop and implement a more formalized plan for
inspection and documentation of all catch basins, inlets, stormwater
treatment and flow control facilities owned and operated by the City. The
plan will include performing spot checks on potentially damaged
permanent treatment and flow control facilities after major storm events.
2. SWPPP for Tukwila Golf Links
The City will develop a SWPPP for the Tukwila Golf Links. This SWPPP will
implement measures to reduce stormwater impacts including pollutant discharges
from all the areas owned by the City. The City will also implement on -going
training programs for employees and document the completed training.
2.6 MONITORING
2.6.1 Permit Requirements
Permittees are required to prepare for the implementation of a comprehensive long -term
monitoring program under the next permit term. The program includes two components:
stormwater monitoring and targeted SWMP effectiveness monitoring.
The Permittees are not required to conduct water quality sampling or other testing during
this permit term, with the following exceptions:
o Water quality monitoring required for compliance with TMDLs (Total
Maximum Daily Pollutant Loads).
o Any sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant
to the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination section of the permit.
2.6.2 Current Activities
The City currently has several of the elements required for a monitoring program in place
and others will be developed as required. Current activates include the following:
1. TMDL Monitoring
A TMDL has not been established for the City of Tukwila, so monitoring is not
required at this time.
City of Tulcwila
Stormwater Management Program 14 of 16 March, 2010
2. Outfalls
The City has developed and maintains a map of all MS4 outfalls as part of our
GIS mapping program.
2.6.3 Planned Activities
The City will continue with all programs and procedures currently in place. In addition to
these the City will conduct the following activities in 2010:
1. Monitoring Plan
Develop a monitoring plan for the current and future Permit water quality
monitoring conditions that contain the following elements:
o Prioritize three receiving waters for visual inspection
o Conduct field assessment on at least one high priority water body
o Summarize annual monitoring activities for the Annual Report and update
the SWMP.

Stormwater Management Program 15 of 16 March, 2010
CONCLUSION
This Surface Water Management Program has been prepared to demonstrate compliance
with the requirements of the NPDES Phase II Permit and outline planned activities for
2010. This SWMP will be a working document until the final plan is to be completed by
August 19, 2011.
There are multiple tasks that the City is undertaking to align itself with the Permit
requirements and many elements that need to be accomplished and built upon.
The Public Education and Outreach Program has been implemented and exciting
opportunities exist to be even more creative in developing a program that reaches out
with useful information that will benefit the general public, business district, and
industrial community.
The City has an ongoing Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program in place
and will continue to update it with staff training, enforcement of the IDDE ordinance, and
distribute additional educational materials.
With the knowledge base that the City has in place, controlling runoff from new
development, redevelopment, and construction sites will now be more manageable.
With the use of various SWPPP's, including the 2009 King County Surface Water Design
Manual, the City has a program in place that meets its obligation of pollution prevention
for municipal operations.
