2017 - Traffic Engineering Bucket Truck
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Motion to approve the replacement of one 1998 aerial bucket
truck for the Augusta Engineering Department-Traffic Division.
(Approved by Administrative Services Committee April 25,
2017)
Background:Fleet Management would like to request the replacement of a
1998 aerial bucket truck, asset number 994118. This vehicle had
major engine failure requiring the replacement of the engine,
which would exceed the value of the truck. In addition, this truck
is outdated and does not incorporate many safety features that are
included on the newer trucks, which jeopardizes the safety of the
operator. Traffic Engineering has a very limited number of trucks
and down time due to this truck’s age creates a hardship for this
division.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published a competitive bid using
the Demand Star national electronic bid application for Police
Vehicles with the following results. Bid 16-150 – Altec Corp =
$110,082.00 each; Custom Truck & Equipment Company = failed
to include requested items in bid; Wade Ford = $119,311.00 each.
Please see tabsheet attachment.
Financial Impact:The requested truck will be purchased using 2017 General Fund
Capital Outlay funds (272-01-6440/5422210). The cost of the new
bucket truck is $110,082.00.
Alternatives:(1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request
Recommendation:Approve the request to replace one aerial bucket truck from Altec
Corp, Inc., and declare 994118 surplus and available for auction.

Reimbursement Funds Received from Chatham County
Department:EMA
Department:EMA
Caption:Motion to approve reimbursement to Richmond County Board of
Education and University Medical Center for shelter operations
during the evacuations caused by Hurricane Matthew and
authorize the Accounting Department to issue reimbursement
checks and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate
documents. (Approved by Public Safety Committee April 25,
2017)
Background:Payment was received from Chatham County, Georgia, by a check
in the amount of $464,098.10 made payable to Augusta EMA for
the reimbursement to Augusta Medical Center, Richmond County
Board of Education, Parks & Recreation, and the Marshal's
Department. The check will be submitted to Accounting for
processing. Augusta, Georgia Accounting Department needs
authorization to issue checks to reimburse University Medical
Center in the amount of $16,209.49 and to Richmond County
Board of Education in the amount of $411,381.87 as their portion
of reimbursement. Augusta, Georgia will keep the remaining
funds as reimbursement for their portion of shelter operations
during the evacuations caused by Hurricane Matthew.
Analysis:University Medical Center is entitled to reimbursement for their
portion of shelter operations costs and should be reimbursed in the
amount of $16,209.49 and Richmond County Board of Education
is entitled to reimbursement for their portion of shelter operations
costs and should be reimbursed in the amount of $411,381.87.
Accounting cannot issue reimbursement checks to University
Medical Center and Richmond County Board of Education
without Commission approval.
Financial Impact:None to Augusta Georgia as we have received a check from
Chatham County to cover reimbursement costs.

Discuss Financial Reporting Requirements to Augusta prior to release of funding to Non-Government
Organizations
Department:Finance
Department:Finance
Caption:Motion to approve the recommendation of the Finance Director to
require an audit for non-profit organizations receiving more than
$20,000 in funding and an independent review from organizations
receiving $20,000 or less. (Approved by Finance Committee
April 25, 2017)
Background:Through its budget process, Augusta allocates funding in varying
amounts to provide financial support for specific programs
operated by non-profit organizations and agencies outside the
control of the Augusta Richmond County Commission. Certain
supporting documentation is required from those
organizations. One of the items required is the organizations’
latest copy of their audited financial statements.
Analysis:Augusta has reviewed its list of required information from these
agencies. The size of the appropriations and the total financial
resources available to these agencies vary greatly. The Finance
Department sent requests to other governments asking for their
policies in this area. Seven responses were received. Three have
developed or are in the process of developing a competitive
scoring process prior to award. All except one required supporting
financial statements. An audit by a CPA firm can be cost
prohibitive to an agency that would not normally have an audit
and could cost more than the amount of Augusta’s appropriation.
A review of an organizations’ financial statements is similar to an
audit, except that the auditor does not express an opinion. Both an
audit and a review require that the CPA be independent and there
is some level of assurance that the statements are not materially
misstated. This process provides assurance the Augusta's funds are
being spent for the intended purpose by the receiving agency.
Financial Impact:Cover Memo
Alternatives:Leave current requirement in place
Recommendation:Continue to require Audited Statements for agencies receiving
$20,000 or more, but accept a Review performed by an
independent CPA for those agencies appropriated less than
$20,000

deficiencies correction action plan including drainage and
structural inspections ($177,777). Funds available in Stormwater
contractual services budget. (Approved by Engineering Services
Committee April 25, 2017)
Background:State of Georgia modified its Safe Dam Rule in late 2016
requiring dam inspections and Emergency Action Plans (ERP).

levees such as Augusta Levee. The latest Periodic Inspection (PI)
report for the Augusta Levee was released in March 2016 by the
Corps of Engineers (USACOE) and deficiencies requiring wide
range of correction measures to re-establish levee status to
“Active”. AED and the COE have been in constant
communications developing an acceptable plan of action for
bringing the Levee to “Active” status. Noted deficiencies are of
two types: Structural Encroachments and Trees. System-
Wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) is one of possible option
to bringing the levee to “Active Status.
Analysis:State is requiring development of ERP plan by July 1, 2017 for
Category 1 dams such as Wrightsboro Regional Stormwater
Facility Dam and Aumond Lake Dam. Both Dams are at Rae’s
Creek. Cranston Engineering Group has state safe dam program
qualified engineering on staff, and also the firm has extensive

Cover Memo
Engineering is cost effective approach to satisfy regulatory
requirement in time manner and address levee noted vegetative
and structural deficiencies. Also, Cranston past and recent
involvement in levee compliance efforts and interaction with the
USACE levee staff will be helpful in developing acceptable
solution to bringing the levee to “Active Status”.

MASTER RIGHT OF WAY LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Master Right of Way Agreement (the “Agreement”) made this 4th of April 2017
(“Effective Date”), between AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, with its principal offices located at 535 Telfair
Street, Augusta GA 30901 (hereinafter designated “CITY”) and MOBILITIE, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company with its principal offices located at 2220 University Drive, Newport Beach, CA
92660 (hereinafter designated “MOBILITIE”). CITY and MOBILITIE are at times collectively
referred to hereinafter as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the CITY desires to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the
public by regulating the siting and placement of communications technologies in the public rights
of way, including the encouragement of location and collocation of communications technologies
on existing structures to the maximum extent possible; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to O.C.G.A. 46-5-1 et seq. telephone companies shall comply with all
applicable local laws and regulations, including municipal ordinances and regulations, regarding
the placement and maintenance of facilities in the public rights of way; and
WHEREAS, MOBILITIE desires to install, maintain and operate communications facilities
in and/or upon the CITY’s right-of-way (“Right-of-Way”); and
WHEREAS, CITY and MOBILITIE desire to enter into this Agreement to define the general
terms and conditions which will govern their relationship with respect to particular sites at which
CITY may wish to permit MOBILITIE to install, maintain and operate communications facilities as
hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, CITY and MOBILITIE acknowledge that, subject to CITY’s issuance of Permits
(as such term is defined in this Agreement) to MOBILITIE, the Parties will enter into Permit
agreements with respect to particular locations or sites which the CITY agrees to license for use.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PREMISES. Subject to Permit requirements set forth in Paragraph 2 and pursuant
to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the CITY agrees to permit MOBILITIE certain
space (the “Space”) located on a portion of CITY’s Right-of-Way (the “Property”), for the
installation, operation and maintenance of communications facilities. Subject to Permit
requirements set forth in Paragraph 2, the CITY shall permit MOBILITIE to place antennas and
other associated communications equipment within the CITY’s Right-of-Way, together with such
additional space on the Property sufficient for the installation, operation and maintenance of
antennas (the “Antenna Space”) and associated communications equipment that are owned by
MOBILITIE and/or that are owned by MOBILITIE’S customers and maintained, controlled, and
managed by MOBILITIE, whether on existing poles or ground-mounted (collectively, the
“Communications Facility(ies)”); together with such additional space on and over the Property
2
for the installation, operation and maintenance of wires, cables, conduits and pipes (the “Cabling
Space”) running between and among the Space and Antenna Space and to all necessary electrical
and telephone utility sources located on the Property as necessary for the communications
equipment; together with the non-exclusive right of ingress and egress from CITY’s Right-of-Way,
seven (7) days a week, twenty four (24) hours a day (provided, however, if lane closure is involved,
subject to approved Permit or work restrictions due to holidays and storm emergencies), over the
Property to and from the Premises (as hereinafter defined) for the purpose of installation,
operation and maintenance of the Communications Facility. If no existing location or collocation
can accommodate the proposed Communications Facility due to technical or physical
circumstances, then, MOBILITIE may request Space for the construction and installation of new
poles or ground-mountings. The Space, Antenna Space and Cabling Space are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Premises” and shall be as described in each Permit to be executed
by the Parties. In the event there are not sufficient electric, telephone, cable or fiber utility
sources located on the Property, CITY agrees to grant MOBILITIE or the local utility provider the
right to install such utilities on, over and/or under the Property necessary for MOBILITIE to
operate its Communications Facility, provided that MOBILITIE or such utility provider has applied
for and received a Permit in accordance with Paragraph 2 below. The Parties acknowledge that
currently-existing policies of CITY, as well as of the Federal Highway Administration, prohibit utility
location on fully-controlled-access roads such as the Interstate Highway System. Therefore, this
Agreement shall cover only non-controlled-access routes.
2. PERMITS. Prior to commencing any work on the Property or the Premises,
MOBILITIE shall have applied for and obtained an approved permit from the City Engineer within
CITY’s Engineering Department (hereinafter a “Permit”). The Permit, if granted, will allow
MOBILITIE the right to construct its Communications Facility and maintain a service utility line for
a maximum distance of fifty-two feet (52’) within the Right-of-Way. Each Permit shall be in
accordance with all applicable provisions of the CITY Code as may be amended from time to time
and the Utilities Accommodation Policy and Standards Manual (“UAM”) including all references
contained therein to codes, rules, regulations, schedules, forms and appendix items, except
Appendix B (Permit Forms and supporting Documents), promulgated by the Georgia Department
of Transportation, as may be amended from time to time. MOBILITIE will apply for a Permit for
each separate site for which MOBILITIE desires to locate a Communications Facility and abide by
the terms of that Permit.
MOBILITIE shall use the Premises only in accordance with good engineering practices and in
compliance with all applicable Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), Federal, State, and
Local laws, regulations and rules. With each permit application, MOBILITIE shall furnish the CITY
with detailed construction plans and drawings for each individual Property and Premises, together
with necessary maps, indicating specifically the existing poles to be used, the number and
character of the attachments to be placed on such poles, equipment necessary for MOBILITIE’s
use, replacements of existing pole(s), any new or additional pole(s) which may be required (with
specific dimensions and details), and any new installations for transmission conduit, pull boxes,
and appurtenances.
3
MOBILITIE must obtain and submit to the CITY a structural engineering study carried out by a
qualified structural engineer, showing that the pole(s) is (are) able to support the proposed
facilities. If the study finds that any proposed structure is inadequate to support the proposed
antenna loads, CITY may decline to permit installation. If the Permit is for construction and
installation of new poles or ground-mountings, MOBILITIE must also submit evidence
demonstrating the technical or physical circumstances that prevent the location or collocation of
its Communications Facilities on existing Premises.
Regarding each individual Permit application, if, in the judgment of the CITY, MOBILITIE’s use
under the circumstances is undesirable, the CITY shall have the right to reject the Permit
application in its reasonable discretion. In any event, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
such application, the CITY shall notify MOBILITIE in writing whether the application is approved or
rejected and, in the case of rejection, the reason(s) why the application was rejected. Where an
application is rejected and the reasons for rejection are capable of being cured, the CITY shall, if
consistent with the procedures set forth in the CITY Code, provide MOBILITIE with a reasonable
opportunity to cure the deficiencies in the application without having to re-submit a new
application. Each individual Permit may be approved by the City Engineer or his/her designee.
In assessing Permit applications for the construction and installation of new poles or ground-
mountings, the CITY will consider siting and location, height, setbacks, aesthetics and visibility,
environmental standards, safety standards and other relevant factors related to the CITY’S desire
to encourage location and collocation and the orderly development of telecommunications
infrastructure. In all instances, location and collocation is preferred, followed by concealed or
stealth configurations. New poles and ground-mountings should also be consistent with existing
infrastructure in the Right-of-Way to the extent possible and should be designed, constructed,
and operated to accommodate collocation of communications equipment, including
communications equipment of other operators.
3. CITY OPERATION OF TRAFFIC LIGHT SIGNAL OR STREET LIGHT SYSTEM;
EMERGENCIES. MOBILITIE acknowledges that the Property, inclusive of the Premises, may be used
to provide traffic control and street lighting for the residents of the CITY. The Parties agree that
this Agreement does not in any way limit CITY’s right to operate and maintain traffic lights and
street lights in the manner that best enables the functioning thereof and protects public safety.
In case of an emergency arising from or related to the Communications Facilities (“emergency”
being defined for purposes of this Agreement as an event which the CITY determines as posing an
immediate threat of substantial harm or damage to the health, safety and welfare of the public
and/or the Property and/or Premises), CITY shall have the right to act as necessary to protect the
public health and safety of its citizens, and to protect public and private property. CITY will make
every reasonable effort to coordinate its emergency response with MOBILITIE, provided,
however, that where CITY requires emergency access to the Property and Premises, CITY shall
contact MOBILITIE promptly and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such access.
During the course of said emergency, CITY may, in its reasonable discretion, remove the
Communications Facilities, provided, however, that such removal, where possible, be performed
only by qualified personnel. MOBILITIE shall be responsible for the costs arising out of such
4
removal, unless the emergency that caused the removal was the result of the acts or omissions
of the CITY or a third party. CITY shall give MOBILITIE notice of said removal as soon as practicable
under the circumstances, and shall work in cooperation with MOBILITIE to restore the removed
Communications Facilities expeditiously.
4. TERM; FEES. This Agreement shall be for a term of twenty-five years (the “Term”)
commencing upon the execution hereof by both Parties. Either Party may seek renewal of this
Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party no less than six (6) months prior to
expiration of the Term. Any renewal of this Agreement shall be on such terms as the Parties may
mutually agree upon in writing. Each Permit shall have an initial term of five (5) years and said
term shall commence upon execution of said Permit by both Parties (the “Commencement
Date”). The Annual License Fee (as defined in Paragraph 5 hereunder) for all facilities installed
pursuant to said Permit will commence and be due on the first day of the month following
installation (the “License Fee Commencement Date”), provided, however, that the initial Annual
License Fee payment for each Permit shall be made thirty (30) days after the License Fee
Commencement Date. Thereafter, on each annual anniversary of the License Fee
Commencement Date, MOBILITIE shall pay the Annual License Fee. The Annual License Fee shall
be paid to the CITY in accordance with Paragraphs 5 and 16 below. CITY and MOBILITIE agree that
they shall acknowledge, in writing, the License Fee Commencement Date of each Permit.
5. CONSIDERATION. MOBILITIE shall pay to the CITY a license fee (“Annual License
Fee”), which under this Agreement shall be as follows: (i) for new MOBILITIE poles or ground
mountings and any Communications Facilities initially installed thereon by MOBILITIE, $1,350.00
per site, per year, per Permit, which shall escalate each year by three percent (3%); (ii) for
attachments of Communications Facilities to third-party poles, $500.00 per site, per year, per
Permit. Further, MOBILITIE shall pay to the CITY a fee of $500.00 per year for any other carrier
that subsequently collocates communications equipment on a new MOBILITIE pole or ground
mounting beyond the initial installation of Communications Facilities thereon (the “Rental Fee”).
Any payment not made within thirty (30) days from the due date shall bear interest at the rate of
1.5% per month until paid, or if 1.5% exceeds the maximum rate allowed by law, then at the
maximum rate allowed by law. The Parties agree that they will renegotiate the Annual License
Fee and the Rental Fee by the date that is ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement (the
“Renegotiation Deadline”), and that should the Parties fail to successfully renegotiate the Annual
License Fee or the Rental Fee by the Renegotiation Deadline, either Party may elect to terminate
this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the other Party.
6. EXTENSIONS. So long as the Term is still in effect, each Permit shall automatically
be extended for four (4) additional five (5) year terms unless terminated by MOBILITIE via written
notice of the intent to terminate at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
Notwithstanding anything herein, after the expiration of this Agreement, its terms and conditions
shall survive and govern with respect to any remaining Permit in effect until the expiration of its
then-current term, or until termination.
5
7. USE; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. MOBILITIE shall use the Premises for the
purpose of constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating a Communications Facility and uses
incidental thereto as set forth in the Permit. MOBILITIE shall have the right to replace, repair, add
or otherwise modify the utilities, equipment, antennas and/or conduits or any portion thereof
and the frequencies over which the equipment operates, whether the equipment, antennas,
conduits or frequencies are specified or not on any exhibit attached to a Permit, during the Term
as per the permitting procedures in the UAM, applicable CITY Code, and state and federal law,
provided, however, that modifications shall not be subject to additional permitting to the extent
that (i) such modification to the attachment involves only substitution of internal components,
and does not result in any change to the external appearance, dimensions, or weight of the
attachment, as approved by the CITY; or (ii) such modification involves replacement of the
attachment with an attachment that is the same, or smaller in weight and dimensions as the
approved attachment. It is understood and agreed that MOBILITIE’s ability to use the Premises is
contingent upon its obtaining, after the execution date of each Permit, all of the certificates,
permits and other approvals (collectively the “Governmental Approvals”) that may be required
by any Federal, State or Local authorities as well as, where applicable, a satisfactory building
structural analysis which will permit MOBILITIE use of the Premises as set forth above. CITY shall
cooperate with MOBILITIE in its effort to obtain such approvals and, except as otherwise provided
in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, shall take no action which would adversely affect the status of
the Property or the Premises with respect to the proposed use thereof by MOBILITIE. In the event
that (i) any applications for any Governmental Approvals should be finally rejected; (ii) any such
Governmental Approval issued to MOBILITIE is canceled, expires, lapses, or is otherwise
withdrawn or terminated by governmental authority; and (iii) MOBILITIE determines that such
Governmental Approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, MOBILITIE shall have the right
to terminate the applicable Permit. Notice of MOBILITIE’s exercise of its right to terminate shall
be given to CITY in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Paragraph 16 and shall be
effective upon the mailing of such notice by MOBILITIE, or upon such later date as designated by
MOBILITIE. All fees paid to said termination date shall be retained by CITY. Upon such
termination, the applicable Permit shall be of no further force or effect except to the extent of
the representations, warranties and indemnities made by each Party to the other thereunder.
Otherwise, MOBILITIE shall have no further obligations for the payment of fees to CITY for the
terminated Permit.
8. INDEMNIFICATION. MOBILITIE shall indemnify and hold CITY harmless against
any claim of liability or loss from personal injury or property damage resulting from or arising out
of the negligence or willful misconduct of MOBILITIE, its employees, contractors or agents, except
to the extent such claims or damages may be due to or caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of CITY, or its employees, contractors or agents. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, no Party shall be liable in connection with this Agreement or any Permit for
consequential, special, indirect, incidental, or punitive damages (including but not limited to lost
revenues, loss of equipment, interruption or loss of service, or loss of data) for any cause of action,
whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if the Party was or should have been aware of the
possibility of these damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict
liability, or otherwise.
6
9. INSURANCE. MOBILITIE will maintain commercial general liability insurance with
a combined single limit not less than $2,000,000 for injury to or death of one or more persons and
damage or destruction to property in any one occurrence. MOBILITIE will include CITY as an
additional insured.
10. INTERFERENCE. MOBILITIE agrees to install equipment of the type and frequency
which will not cause harmful interference which is measurable in accordance with then-existing
industry standards to any equipment of CITY or other permitted users of the Property which
existed on the Property prior to the date this Agreement is executed by the Parties. In the event
any after-installed Communications Facility causes such interference, and after CITY has notified
MOBILITIE in writing of such interference, MOBILITIE will take all commercially reasonable steps
necessary to correct and eliminate the interference, including but not limited to, at MOBILITIE’s
option, powering down such equipment and later powering up such equipment for intermittent
testing. In no event will CITY be entitled to terminate a Permit or relocate the equipment as long
as MOBILITIE is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue. CITY shall, with
reasonable notice to MOBILITIE, be entitled to power down immediately or cause to be powered
down the Communications Facility where the interference is with traffic-control devices. CITY
shall provide MOBILITIE no less than thirty (30) days of any planned or routine maintenance of
traffic control devices located where MOBILITIE has installed its facilities. CITY agrees that any
other permitted users of the Property who currently have or in the future take possession of the
Property will be permitted to install only such equipment that is of the type and frequency which
will not cause harmful interference which is measurable in accordance with then-existing industry
standards to the then-existing equipment of MOBILITIE. The Parties acknowledge that there will
not be an adequate remedy at law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph and
therefore, either Party shall have the right to equitable remedies, such as, without limitation,
injunctive relief and specific performance.
11. REMOVAL AT END OF TERM; ABANDONMENT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY; RELOCATION.
MOBILITIE shall, upon expiration of the Term, or within ninety (90) days after any earlier
termination of a Permit, remove its equipment, conduits, fixtures and all personal property and
restore the Premises to its original condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage
excepted. CITY agrees and acknowledges that the Communications Facilities, conduits, fixtures
and personal property shall remain the personal property of MOBILITIE and MOBILITIE shall have
the right to remove the same at any time during the Term, whether or not said items are
considered fixtures and attachments to real property under applicable laws.
The Parties recognize that CITY may hold an easement interest only in certain of its rights-of-way.
Upon abandonment by CITY of a highway or section thereof, MOBILITIE may have no rights against
the owner of the underlying fee estate to maintain its facilities. MOBILITIE shall have no right to
cause CITY to continue to operate the road. In the event, in its sole discretion, CITY determines it
is in the public interest to abandon said Right-of-Way, the applicable Permit shall terminate upon
sixty (60) days’ notice to MOBILITIE prior to abandonment (or, in the cases of exigency, such notice
as is reasonable under the circumstances) and no further fees will accrue.
7
If at any time during the period of this Agreement, CITY shall lawfully elect to vacate, relocate,
abandon, alter, reconstruct or change the grade of any street, sidewalk, alley or other public way
including any related drainage and utility areas, MOBILITIE, upon reasonable notice from CITY,
shall remove, relay, and relocate its wires, cables, poles and other fixtures and equipment at its
own expense and within reasonable time schedules established by CITY. Should MOBILITIE refuse
or fail to remove its equipment as provided for herein within 45 days after written notification,
CITY shall have the right to do such or cause it to be done and full cost thereof shall be chargeable
to MOBILITIE, or in the alternative, to consider such failure by MOBILITIE to remove its equipment
as abandonment of all ownership rights in said property. In the event MOBILITIE must remove or
relocate its equipment pursuant to the terms of this Section 11, CITY shall cooperate with
MOBILITIE in its reasonable efforts to identify an alternative site for MOBILITIE’s use and will make
a reasonable attempt to coordinate relocation in order to minimize any service disruption.
12. RIGHTS UPON SALE. Except as provided in Paragraph 11 above regarding
abandonment, should CITY, at any time during the Term of any Permit decide (i) to sell or transfer
all or any part of the Property to a purchaser other than MOBILITIE , or (ii) to grant to a third party
by easement or other legal instrument an interest in and to that portion of the Property occupied
by MOBILITIE, or a larger portion thereof, for the purpose of operating and maintaining
Communications Facilities or the management thereof, such sale or transfer, or grant of an
easement or interest therein shall be under and subject to the Permit and any such purchaser,
transferee or grantee shall recognize MOBILITIE’S rights hereunder and under the terms of the
Permit. In the event that CITY completes any such sale, transfer, or grant described in this
Paragraph without executing an assignment of the Permit whereby the third party agrees in
writing to assume all obligations of CITY under the Permit, then CITY shall not be released from
its obligations to MOBILITIE under the Permit, and MOBILITIE shall have the right to look to CITY
and the third party for the full performance of the Permit.
13. MOBILITIE’S RIGHT OF TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, MOBILITIE may, in its sole discretion, terminate any Permit on thirty (30) days’
notice to the CITY at any time without any further liability for any Annual License Fees attributable
to said Permit, so long as MOBILITIE is not in default with respect to said Permit.
14. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement is a Georgia agreement made
under the laws of the State. It will be enforced according to Georgia law without regard to its
conflict of laws rules or any other rules directing referral to foreign law or forums. Each Party
hereby agrees to execute an acknowledgment of service of process at the request of the other
Party in any litigation related to this Agreement. In the event that a Party does not provide an
acknowledgment of service as agreed, each Party consents to service of process at that Party’s
address as set forth in Paragraph 16 (Notices). It is further agreed that in the event any court
action is brought directly or indirectly by reason of this Agreement, the courts of Augusta-
Richmond County shall have jurisdiction over the dispute and venue shall be in such County.
15. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement, and each Permit under it, may be sold, assigned
or transferred by MOBILITIE without any approval or consent of the CITY to any parent, subsidiary,
affiliate, or any person, firm or corporation that shall control, be under the control of, or be under
8
common control with MOBILITIE, or to any entity into which MOBILITIE may be merged or
consolidated or which purchases substantially all of the assets of MOBILITIE that are subject to
this Agreement. As to other parties, this Agreement and each Permit may not be sold, assigned
or transferred without the written consent of the CITY, which such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No change of stock ownership, partnership
interest or control of MOBILITIE or transfer upon partnership or corporate dissolution of
MOBILITIE shall constitute a sale, assignment, or transfer hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, MOBILITIE may provide capacity across the Communications Facilities to a third party
without the consent required under this paragraph, so long as MOBILITIE retains control over and
remains solely responsible for such Communications Facilities. The use of the Communications
Facilities by third parties (including, but not limited to, leases of dark fiber) that involves no
additional attachment is not considered a sublicense to a third party subject to the provisions of
this paragraph. MOBILITIE shall provide written notice of all sales, assignments or transfers within
60 days thereof.
16. NOTICES. All notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed validly
given if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested or by commercial courier, provided the
courier’s regular business is delivery service and provided further that it guarantees delivery to
the addressee by the end of the next business day following the courier’s receipt from the sender,
addressed as follows (or any other address that the Party to be notified may have designated to
the sender by like notice):

Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt obtained pursuant
to the foregoing.
17. DEFAULT. In the event there is a breach by a Party with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder, the non-breaching Party shall give the
breaching Party written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, the breaching
Party shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure any breach, provided the breaching Party shall
have such extended period as may be required beyond the thirty (30) days if the breaching Party
commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously and diligently
pursues the cure to completion. The non-breaching Party may not maintain any action or effect
9
any remedies for default against the breaching Party unless and until the breaching Party has
failed to cure the breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph.
18. REMEDIES. In the event of a default by either Party with respect to a material
provision of this Agreement, without limiting the non-defaulting Party in the exercise of any right
or remedy which the non-defaulting Party may have by reason of such default, the non-defaulting
Party may, after fifteen (15) days written notice and an additional fifteen (15) days to cure such
default, terminate the applicable Permit and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to
the non-defaulting Party under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Georgia. Further,
upon a default, the non-defaulting Party may at its option (but without obligation to do so),
perform the defaulting Party’s duty or obligation on the defaulting Party’s behalf, including but
not limited to, obtaining of reasonably required insurance policies. The costs and expenses of any
such performance by the non-defaulting Party shall be due and payable by the defaulting Party
upon invoice therefor. If MOBILITIE undertakes any such performance on CITY’s behalf and CITY
does not pay MOBILITIE the full undisputed amount within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an
invoice setting forth the amount due, MOBILITIE may offset the full undisputed amount due
against all fees due and owing to CITY under the applicable Permit until the full undisputed
amount is fully reimbursed to MOBILITIE.
19. ENVIRONMENTAL. Except as permitted by law, neither Party will allow any
hazardous substances, including without limitation, any and all pollutants, wastes, flammables,
explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic
substances and all other materials defined by or regulated under any Environmental Law,
including those defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. § 9604, pollutants or contaminants as defined in
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9604(A)(2), or hazardous waste as defined in the Resources Conservation and
Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. § 6903, or other similar applicable Federal or State laws or
regulations, to be generated, released, stored, or deposited over, beneath, or on the Premises or

20. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the Premises that
cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within thirty (30) days following same or, if the
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty so that such damage may reasonably be expected
to disrupt MOBILITIE’s operations at the Premises for more than thirty (30) days, then MOBILITIE
may, at any time following such fire or other casualty, provided CITY has not completed the
restoration required to permit MOBILITIE to resume its operation at the Premises, may terminate
the Permit upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to CITY. Any such notice of termination
shall cause the Permit to expire with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in

make an appropriate adjustment, as of such termination date, with respect to payments due to
the other under the Permit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual License Fee and the
Rental Fee shall abate during the period of repair following such fire or other casualty in
proportion to the degree to which MOBILITIE’s use of the Premises is impaired.

that Permit and this Agreement. All communications and invoices relating to a Permit must be
directed to the Authorized Entity signing the Permit. A default by any Authorized Entity will not
constitute or serve as a basis for a default by any other Authorized Entity not a party to the
applicable Permit.
22. CHANGE OF LAW. If any Federal, State or Local laws or regulations (including
binding non-appealable judicial interpretations thereof) that govern any aspect of the rights or
obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall change after the Effective Date and such
change makes such rights or obligations in violation with the then-effective law, then the Parties
agree to promptly amend, by mutual agreement, the Agreement as reasonably required to
comply with any such legal or regulatory change; provided, however, that where such change of
law mandates modification of the consideration to be paid pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this
Agreement, said change of law shall apply only to Communications Facilities for which Permits
are issued on or after the effective date of said change of law.
23. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement and the Permits that may be executed from

shall be binding upon either the CITY or MOBILITIE in any dispute, controversy or proceeding. If
any part of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, said part shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability
only, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of said provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or varied except in a writing
signed by all Parties. This Agreement shall extend to and bind the, successors and assigns hereto.
The failure of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms or conditions of
this Agreement or to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall not waive such rights, and such
Party shall have the right to enforce such rights at any time. The performance of this Agreement

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have set their hands and affixed their
respective seals the day and year first above written and have caused this Agreement to be

Re: Bid #17-147,Deans Bridge Road MSW Landfill phase 3, stage l, cell 3
Earthwo'k Package for Environmental Services Department
Dear Ms. Bonner:
On Tuesday, April 25,20L7, Teresa Peed, Vice President of Peed Bros., Inc. and myself,
appealed beforp the Administrative Services Committee to present our position and request thatthe Motion to deny the Protest of Peed Bros,, Inc. regardinj uia il7-147 Deans Bridge RoadMSW Landfill Phase 3, Stage l, Cell 3 Earthwork Package for Envjronmental ServicesDepartment be voted down so that Peed Bros., Inc. could be awarded the contr.act for this project.
Peed Bros., Inc. failed to acknowledge Addendum 2 in the actual bid package. However,as addressed to the committee, this was a clerical error that did not affect our bid amount.
Ms' Sams stated that it was apparent that since our price was considerably lowei., we didnot rcceive Addendum 2 atdthetefore did not include the changes in our biA. firis is ce'tainlynot the case' The Addendum was sent Certified Mail and with Return Receipt which means thatthe Procuttment Department has proof that they received eviderrce that the i.ddendum wasreceived by Peed Bros., Inc.
Ms. Sams also stated that it was her belief that we could not do the project withoutrcquesting change otders' Orrce the contract is signed we would be under contr.act to cornpletethe job unless the scope of w_ork changes, If that happeus, a change or-der would be needed,
Yii would be the case with whoever was awalded the contract aud holds rro bearing on thislssue.

No,5892 P, 3
We understand that the Procurement Depafiment is following theil procedure in thismatter' However, we believe flrat the full Corumission for the City Jf Augusta, should take alook at the financial impact on rejecting our bid and awarding it to the neit bidder. The ciry ofAugusta would spend an additional $1.3 million if this project is awarded to the next bidder.
Section 00100-5, I '08 item A stiates, "The owner may consider a minor irregularity anyBid not prepared and submitted in accordance with the provisions hereof and may waive anyminor iuegulattties or reject any and all Bids.',
. As we explained to Ms. Sams after the committee meeting yesterday, we have reviewedour prtoing and stand by our numbers. We are familiar with the otlrr. "o*panies,
.On anotherday, the table might have been tui:ned with one of them being extremely low andwJ;fi;;"beenhigh' We see this quite often. Severul factors make up pricing a project. As we explained
' to Ms' Sams, we bid to get this project, because it was .o*ing at a good timc for us. Anotherfactor is that we received a quote fi'om a local business whiclr-was Jonsiderably higher than wecould get oul usual subcontractor to do the wolk. If the other contractors usedthis"pric;i* il",to meet the local business percentage; it could be one of the factors why they were considerablyhigher.
As outlirred in Section 1-10-88, Administrativo Services Committee heuingproiedures andeffect of failure to appear at hearing, section (C), Peed Bros., Inc. request thalt we be allowed toaPpeu before thE entire City of Augusta Conrmission to explain our'reqrert to be awarded thiscontract.
