This addendum shall apply to THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING titled “Fiber Optic Network Agreement” dated March   __   , 2013, by and between the City of Lawrence, Kansas, a municipal corporation, and the University of Kansas, a State institution of higher education.


 

The Verizon/DTI Fiber Agreement

Section 1

 

Description of Fiber Optic Network

 

The City of Lawrence and the University of Kansas seek to expand the installation of fiber optic underground cable to enable both parties to better connect existing and future facilities operated by the respective parties in the City of Lawrence, Kansas. Collaboration between the City and KU will allow them to connect existing and future partnership facilities to their respective networks at the lowest long-term cost to their stakeholders. 

The City owns an existing, empty and, approximately 65,000 foot 1-1/4” underground conduit that it received through a license agreement with Alltel Communications, LLC d/b/a Verizon Wireless (the “Verizon Conduit”). 

The City also owns an existing set of fiber-filled conduit from an agreement with DTI (the “DTI Conduit”). 

KU agrees to fund a major portion of the cost of the acquisition and installation of fiber into the Verizon Conduit in exchange for the use of a portion of the fiber in the existing Verizon Conduit and a portion of the fiber in the existing DTI Conduit.

 

 

General Responsibilities and terms:

As more fully set forth below, KU agrees that it will fund the acquisition of 288-strand-count single-mode fiber for installation over the entire length of the Verizon Conduit. KU also agrees to provide to the City payment of a sum certain to offset a portion of the installation and ancillary material costs. KU agrees that its costs will represent a significant majority of the entire cost of the project. In return for this substantial investment in the project, the City agrees to grant to KU a perpetual right to use 96 strands of the fiber cable installed in the Verizon Conduit and the use of a small portion of fiber in the existing DTI conduit path (as specified in DTI Conduit Sections 1-3 below). 

 

The City agrees that it will be responsible for any costs above KU’s commitment toward the installation of the fiber optic cable, associated handholes/cabinets, and splicing/testing services.

 

The City also agrees to support KU’s limited use of City rights-of-way for the purpose of connecting KU properties to the Verizon or DTI conduit.

 

The City also agrees that it will allow KU cabling to pass through existing City-installed conduit, assuming sufficient capacity, such as traffic conduit under streets/intersections, to minimize any disruption to roadbeds, existing utilities, and traffic. KU will negotiate, in advance, the design and installation of any cabling in existing conduit through the City Director of IT.

 

Specifications and Qualifications:

KU and the City have mutually agreed on the type, section lengths, splice points, physical properties, and qualified manufacturer(s) of this cable and will review prior to acquisition.  (See Exhibit 3 affixed hereto and incorporated herein by reference).

 

KU and the City agree to review in collaboration the credentials, work history, ability to execute, and certifications of any contractor bidding on the installation, termination, and testing of any fiber cables, conduit sections, or handholes/cabinets prior to the awarding of any contract for fiber installation or other services contemplated by this Addendum. Due to the scale and complexity of this project, the parties agree that a strong emphasis will be placed on the quality of the installation, fiber termination, and testing. KU and the City shall mutually agree upon the selection of an appropriate contractor.

 

 

This project is more fully described below in the following description of four conduit sections.
