MCI WORLDCOM Exhibit A NORTH EXHIBIT B MCI WORLCOM NETWORK SERVICES INC. TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRANCHISE TERMS AND CONDITIONS The intent of this exhibit is to set forth the standards and requirements to be met by MCI WORLDCOM Network Services (MWNS), during their construction activity proposed for the route as defined below: a. Leg 1: Route begins on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad right -of -way 585 feet east of the intersection of S 130th St and 50th Place S. Route parallels S 130th to the intersection of 50th Place S and S 130th St then continues northerly beneath 50th Place S. Route continues northwesterly to the intersection of S 125th St and 50th Place S; then west beneath 50th Place S to the north side of S 125th St. Alignment will continue south across the Duwamish River to a private easement in the vicinity of the Gateway Corporate Center. b. Leg 2: Route begins on the northwest side of 56th Ave S then heads on a westerly direction to the Duwamish River Bridge. Alignment will parallel Interurban Ave S and head north to 48th Ave S. On 48th Ave S, route continues east for approximately 800 feet then north crossing beneath 48th Ave S for 38 feet on to private property. c. Leg 3: Route enters City from the Black River Junction in the City of Renton to S 143rd St. then northwesterly to Interurban Ave S. Alignment continues on Interurban Ave S and turns east on the north Gateway Drive entrance. Route continues east on Gateway Drive to a private easement terminating the route in the MCI fiber facility. Definitions: 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. Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 1 Manhole: An underground structure placed along the conduit path to allow access to the conduit and cable. Handhole: 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. 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. MWNS, plans identify placement primarily on the (TBD) edge of the roadway. Reauired Method of Construction: While the City of Tukwila requests directional bore be used wherever possible, we recognize that the use to which the City may place the conduit being installed for Tukwila as a condition of this agreement may make boring impossible due to separation requirements associated with placement of fiber optic cables near electric lines. Because of this fact, trenching will be allowed along the entire route, with the exception of those streets that have recently been re- paved, and in areas where conduit will be placed under rivers, streams, etc. There will be a 5 -year open cut moratorium on streets that have been recently re- paved. Those areas where directional bores will be used shall be shown on the MWNS, construction plans unless identified otherwise. Permits: The City of Tukwila will issue only those permits for streets, sidewalks and right -of -way controlled by the City. MWNS is responsible for identifying and obtaining all other required permits from State, Private and Federal agencies. MWNS shall sign an "Authorization for Special Billing" for contract inspection to monitor compliance with approved plans, traffic control operations, infrastructure impacts. Contract Inspector will be chosen by City and will bill directly to Franchisee. Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 2 Traffic Control: MWNS will 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 prior to commencement of work. 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. Work -Hour Restrictions: MWNS shall comply with City's noise restrictions outlined in the City Municipal Code and any special restriction imposed by the City Manhole, Stub Conduit, and Ciao Conduit Placement: Manholes (or handholes) will be required at or near (within 75 feet) the following north- south; east -west corridors: See final Plans. 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. The provision of conduits and manholes' /handholes for City Use shall be provided in accordance with agreement between MWNS and City. The City manhole /handhole covers shall have distinct identification permanently marked on the covers by welding or other approved means. 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. Potholing: During construction activity, MWNS, will pothole all located utilities within 5 feet of the proposed running line. In areas where the running line is relocated in the field due to sub- surface structures not known, the pot- holing distance will be 5 feet from the new running line. MWNS will document potholing results on as -built plans to be submitted to City for official record drawing purposes. Professional survey standards will be required. Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 3 All potholing will be by the air /vacuum method, with holes no greater than 12" diameter. Holes will be backfilled with CDF and topped with hot mix asphalt patches. Contact Bill Massengill /APS, at 425 313 -1034 as a suggested contact for this service. 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. 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: D All trench edges will be saw -cut on both sides of the trench prior to replacement of surface material. See Tukwila standard RS -3. D Minimum cover from top of conduit to road surface will be 42 D Backfill will be 5/8" Minus Compacted Crushed Rock outside roadway areas and will be controlled density fill in all roadway areas D 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. D 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. D Compaction of the backfill will be at 95% of maximum density, in 6" lifts. Determination of adequacy will be by Nuclear gauge. D 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. Telecommunications Franchise Exhibit B Page 4 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.
