standards.
B. Permission. GPC shall approve or deny the application, in its sole discretion, within

Attachment, or increase capacity to accommodate GPC’s core utility service, and Licensee shall
reimburse GPC for all reasonable costs incurred for same.
iii. Upon notice from GPC that it is abandoning a Pole, Licensee shall, within thirty
(30) days of receiving such notice, remove its Attachments from said Pole. In the event that
Licensee fails to do so, GPC shall have the right to remove or cause to be removed any such
Attachments and Licensee shall reimburse GPC for all reasonable costs incurred for same.
iv. Licensee shall remove an Attachment no later than thirty (30) days following

purpose of internally conducting government business, which shall not include providing
-4-
20152882v2
services for a profit. Licensee shall not affix Attachments for the purpose of providing wireless
internet service to the public, nor shall Licensee affix any Attachments that would be subject to
the mandatory access requirements of 47 U.S.C. § 224(f).
B. Change in Type or Use. Licensee will not make any change to the type or use of its
Attachments without prior written approval from GPC.
C. Cameras. Licensee shall limit the use of camera Attachments to lawful crime
prevention and investigation. When required by a Legal Requirement, Licensee shall obtain any
necessary authority or order from a court with appropriate jurisdiction and provide GPC with a
copy of same prior to Licensee’s use of any camera.
D. Wireless. Licensee shall not affix any wireless Attachments unless and until it has
entered into a separate wireless addendum to this Agreement, the form of which the Make-Ready
Project Manager will provide upon request by Licensee; and Licensee shall only affix wireless
Attachments in accordance with said addendum.
5. RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS: GPC does not warrant the extent of its
rights-of-way or easements. Licensee shall be responsible for obtaining any real property rights
necessary for Attachments on a Pole. If GPC determines that Licensee’s use of a Pole is not
permitted or is prohibited by the underlying property owner, Licensee shall, upon notice from
GPC, promptly remove its Attachments from such Pole.
6. OVERLASHING: Licensee must obtain written approval from GPC prior to
Overlashing. Each request for approval must state the intended use of the Overlashing and must
include a certification by Licensee that the Overlashing will be in compliance with the NESC
and include reasonably sufficient data (including without limitation sag, tension, design and
loading data) for such Overlashing, in form prescribed by GPC, such that GPC can ascertain
whether Licensee’s construction plan complies with the requirements set forth in such data and
applicable industry standards.
7. MAKE-READY WORK:
A. Who May Perform. Only GPC and its contractors are authorized to perform
Make-Ready Work, provided, however, that Licensee shall be permitted to rearrange its own
existing Attachments. Licensee shall never work on or impact another party’s attachments,
except where such party has given Licensee written approval to perform such work. All Make-
Ready Work shall be performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
B. Payment. For an approved Attachment, GPC shall provide Licensee with an
engineering survey and the estimated cost of Make-Ready Work within fourteen (14) days of
conditional approval of the Licensee’s permit. The engineering survey will depict the Point of
Attachment. The estimate will remain valid for fourteen (14) days following notification. Upon
receipt of Licensee’s written acceptance of the estimated cost, GPC will invoice Licensee for the
estimated cost. Make-Ready Work will not begin until GPC receives full payment of the
estimated cost, which Licensee shall pay to GPC within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If
the actual cost exceeds the estimated cost, GPC will invoice Licensee for the excess cost and
Licensee shall pay the excess costs to GPC within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If the
-5-
20152882v2
actual cost is less than the amount tendered, GPC will refund the excess payment amount. The
total cost for Make-Ready Work shall include any and all costs incurred by GPC in connection
with the Make-Ready Work.
C. Location. Attachments must be placed at the Point of Attachment and must not
interfere with any other party’s equipment on the Pole. The Attachment space for wire
Attachments is six (6) inches above and below the Point of Attachment. The Attachment space
for wireless Attachments will be determined by GPC by the space occupied by such
Attachments. Licensee shall not use a GPC anchor or affix or attempt to affix an Attachment to
a Transmission Facility without the express written approval of GPC.
D. Affixing. Following completion of Make-Ready Work, GPC will issue a conditional
permit to Licensee to affix its Attachment. The Attachment must be affixed and any related
construction work completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of permit issuance.
Licensee will notify GPC in writing at least three (3) business days prior to starting work on the
Attachment and within three (3) business days of completing same. GPC or its contractors will
perform an Inspection. In the event that GPC determines that an Attachment or any work
thereon fails to comply with any Legal Requirements or the terms of this Agreement, GPC will
so notify Licensee and Licensee shall make any necessary repairs or corrections within thirty
(30) days thereafter, or immediately if the violation creates a danger to persons or property. GPC
or its contractors will then perform further Inspections as necessary until it determines that
Licensee is in compliance with all Legal Requirements and the terms of this Agreement.
8. SAFETY COMPLIANCE:
A. Licensee shall only use persons to perform work on Poles who are qualified by the
education and experience necessary to provide high quality performance of work on Poles and
who possess each license, registration, certification or other qualification required by any Legal
Requirements to perform any work contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by
Licensee or its contractors. Such persons must exercise that degree of skill and care required by
the highest level of accepted professional standards with respect to performing work on Poles
and shall have been properly trained on the hazards as set forth in 19 C.F.R. § 1910, Subpart S
and § 1910.269. Licensee is solely responsible for assuring such persons have the necessary
qualifications, expertise and safety training.
B. Before any person has performed any work contemplated by this Agreement by,
through or for Licensee on or near any facilities of GPC, Licensee must adequately instruct and
warn such person concerning the hazards and Inherent Dangers associated with performing work
on Poles, including without limitation the danger inherent in making contact with GPC’s
electrical conductors and of coming closer to such conductors than is permitted by the NESC or
by regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
C. Licensee shall ensure that all Attachments and any equipment and work in
connection therewith are in compliance with all Legal Requirements, including but not limited to
separation and clearance requirements. Licensee shall use its best efforts to correct any safety
violations that are the responsibility of Licensee within thirty (30) days of Licensee having
-6-
20152882v2
knowledge of same, except for violations creating a danger to persons or property, which must
be corrected immediately upon discovery.
9. TRANSFER AND REARRANGMENT:
A. Licensee may authorize GPC to transfer its Attachments when necessary due to a
relocation or replacement of a Pole, at Licensee’s expense and in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof, by executing Exhibit A.
B. In the event that an Attachment must be rearranged or transferred in order to
accommodate another party requesting to attach, GPC, its contractors or the party requesting to
attach shall be permitted to rearrange or transfer Licensee’s Attachment if Licensee has failed to
do so within thirty (30) days of notice from Licensor, or such other time period as may be
required by applicable Legal Requirements.
10. POLE ATTACHMENT COUNTS: GPC shall not charge Licensee for any Pole
Attachment Count for Attachments that are both (a) validly permitted under and in compliance
with this Agreement and (b) not subject to the mandatory access requirements of
47 U.S.C. § 224(f).
11. PAST DUE PAYMENTS: In addition to any other right or remedy available to GPC,
if Licensee fails to make any payment under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after it
becomes due and payable, then Licensee will pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of
one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate permitted by law. GPC will apply
all payments to interest first and then to principal in the order in which it has become due. To
the extent allowed by Georgia law, Licensee will reimburse GPC for all expenses that GPC
incurs in connection with collection of any past due payment, including without limitation legal
fees.
12. INSURANCE: Licensee shall procure and maintain insurance to protect it and GPC
against claims for damage to property and bodily injury or the death of persons in the amount of
$1,000,000 for damages arising from one occurrence and $1,000,000 for aggregate claims.
Licensee shall also carry insurance sufficient to cover claims under workmen’s compensation
laws for Licensee’s operations within GPC’s service area. All such insurance shall be kept in
force by Licensee for the life of this Agreement and the company or companies issuing such
insurance shall be subject to the reasonable approval of GPC. GPC shall be named an additional
insured under Licensee’s liability insurance policy and the policy must state that the insurance
company is waiving any right of subrogation against GPC. Licensee shall furnish to GPC a
certificate showing the issuance of such insurance and the insurance company’s agreement that it
will not cancel, terminate, or change its policy except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to GPC. Licensee’s failure to maintain insurance coverage as required by this Agreement shall
be deemed a material breach and Licensee’s rights to affix Attachments shall be suspended until
Licensee is in full compliance with the foregoing insurance requirements.
13. RELEASE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED
BY GEORGIA LAW, LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT GPC’S
-7-
20152882v2
LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO ANY

PERSON EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY GPC’S NEGLIGENCE. LICENSEE
FURTHER AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY GEORGIA LAW, GPC
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS OR REVENUES OF ANY KIND
AND THAT ANY CLAIM BROUGHT AGAINST GPC BY A THIRD PARTY ARISING
FROM AN ACT OR OMISSION OF LICENSEE SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND COVERED
BY THE INSURANCE POLICY LICENSEE ACQUIRES PURSUANT TO ITS
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED THAT ANY
SUCH POLICY SHALL PROVIDE COVERAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND NOT
LESS THAN, THAT DESCRIBED IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ACCG-
IRMA COVERAGE AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2011, AS ENDORSED TO ADD
GPC AS AN "ADDITIONAL MEMBER."
14. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS: GPC, ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS,
SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OF

License Agreement
Between
Georgia Power Company
and
City of Augusta
Addendum for
Attachment of Wireless Facilities
20214264v1
WHEREAS, Georgia Power Company (hereinafter “Georgia Power”) and City of Augusta
(hereinafter “Licensee”) have entered into a Pole Attachment License Agreement (hereinafter
“Agreement”), dated ______________________; and
WHEREAS, Georgia Power and Licensee mutually desire to expand the scope of the Agreement
to allow for the Attachment of Wireless Facilities to the Poles of Georgia Power;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein, Georgia Power and
Licensee agree as follows:
1. The terms and conditions of the Agreement shall govern the Attachment of Wireless
Facilities to the Poles of Georgia Power, except as explicitly stated in this Addendum.
2. “Wireless Facilities” means, without limitation, antennas, feedlines, transmitters,
receivers, power supplies and all other equipment used or useful to receive or to generate and
emit radio frequency (“rf”) energy, including any “intentional radiator,” as defined in Section
15.3(o) of the FCC’s rules.
3. Licensee may not affix Wireless Facilities to any Pole until Licensee requests and
receives written permission from Georgia Power, using the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
“Request for Permission to Attach Wireless Facilities.” Such Request(s) for Permission to
Attach Wireless Facilities shall include information as to the weight and dimensions of the
Wireless Facilities, proposed location on the Pole of the Wireless Facilities, drawings and
schematic diagrams of the structural design of the Wireless Facilities and any additional
information reasonably requested by Georgia Power as necessary for Georgia Power to perform
a pole loading analysis of the proposed Wireless Facilities. A Request for Permission to Attach
Wireless Facilities shall be submitted for each Pole to which attachments are proposed.
Licensee shall notify third party entities, who already have attachments on Poles to which
Licensee is seeking to attach, of Licensee’s intention to attach Wireless Facilities to the same
Poles.
4. Licensee’s Wireless Facilities Attachments to Poles must be located in a space
designated by Georgia Power. The Wireless Facilities Attachments must comply with: all
NESC requirements, including, but not limited to, separation and clearance requirements; all
FCC, OSHA and other state and federal agency requirements; and all Georgia Power
construction standards and requirements. Licensee’s Wireless Facilities Attachments to Poles
must not physically or electronically interfere with or obstruct any other party’s equipment on
the Pole. All Wireless Facilities Attachments that are installed on Georgia Power’s Poles must
be clearly labeled as to the owner of such Wireless Facilities. Licensee shall periodically
inspect its Wireless Facilities and replace the labels if necessary to insure that the Wireless
Facilities remain clearly labeled.
5. A. If Licensee is using Wireless Facilities Attachments for the provision of
telecommunications service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 153(53), Licensee must obtain any necessary
FCC license and provide Georgia Power with written proof of such license. If no FCC license is
required, the Licensee must provide a written statement to Georgia Power warranting that all
20214264v1
Wireless Facilities Attachments are exempt from a license requirement and that all such Wireless
Facilities comply with the FCC’s equipment authorization requirements contained in Part 15 of
the FCC’s rules.
B. Licensee is solely responsible for ensuring that the radio frequency (“rf”)
radiation emitted by its Wireless Facilities Attachments, alone and/or in combination with any
and all sources of rf radiation in the vicinity, is within the limits permitted under all applicable
governmental and industry standard safety codes, including without limitation, those set forth in
47 C.F.R. § 1.1310 of the FCC rules, as applied in circumstances where there is uncontrolled
access to the rf emitting facilities and the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. Licensee acknowledges and
agrees that this is the appropriate standard due to the need for access to the poles by workers for
Georgia Power and other attaching entities and the location of Poles, often in residential and
other populated areas. Whether or not the FCC would require a formal environmental
assessment, with respect to each particular Wireless Facilities Attachment, Licensee shall
complete in writing and retain in Licensee’s records the analysis specified in 47 C.F.R. § 1.1310
of the FCC’s rules and the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65 for each and every one of its Wireless
Facilities Attachments and only proceed if the permissible limits stated therein are not exceeded.
Licensee shall provide Georgia Power with the results of its analyses substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with the written certification, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, of a professional engineer, acceptable to Georgia Power, that each
proposed installation of Wireless Facilities meets the standard for permissible rf emissions. The
installation shall be re-evaluated and re-certified using the same approval process as for an initial
attachment whenever Licensee proposes to replace or modify any installed Wireless Facilities.
Licensee agrees to install appropriate signage on the Pole(s) to which Wireless Facilities have
been attached, to warn line workers or the general public of the presence of rf radiation and the
need for precautionary measures. Licensee shall periodically inspect the signage and replace the
signage if necessary to insure that the signage, including text and warning symbols, remains
clearly visible. This provision shall not apply to wireless camera Attachments provided that the
wireless camera Attachment has a maximum output power of less than 5.6 Watts and (i)
Licensee submits to Georgia Power the manufacturer specifications of said wireless camera
Attachment and (ii) Licensee certifies in writing to Georgia Power that the maximum output
power of said wireless camera Attachment is less than 5.6 Watts and the antenna conforms to
manufacturer’s specification.
C. Due to the need for access to the poles by line workers and contractors for
Georgia Power and other attaching entities, Licensee will install on each pole to which it has
attached a transmitting antenna a switch that operates to disconnect power from the antenna. In
ordinary circumstances, line workers and contractors will call Licensee’s Network Operations
Center (“NOC”) to inform the NOC of the need for a temporary power shut-down. Licensee will
power down its antenna remotely upon the call to its NOC provided that, for scheduled work, the
power-down will occur during normal business hours and with 24 hours advance notice. After
remote power-down by Licensee, workers or contractors for Georgia Power or other attaching
entities may also operate the power disconnect switch in order to ensure that the antenna is not
remotely re-energized while work on the pole is still in progress. In circumstances involving an
imminent threat to the safety of life or property, the power-down will be with such advance
notice as may be practicable. If circumstances warrant, workers and contractors for Georgia
Power and other attaching entities may accomplish the power-down by operation of the power
disconnect switch without advance notice to Licensee. In all instances, the Licensee’s NOC will
20214264v1
be informed when the work has been completed and Georgia Power or the contractor shall
confirm that the power disconnect switch is in the connected position.
D. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for ensuring
compliance with any and all FCC antenna registration requirements, Federal Aviation
Administration (“FAA”) air hazard requirements, or similar requirements with respect to the
location of Licensee’s Wireless Facilities on Georgia Power’s Poles. Without limitation,
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Georgia Power’s Poles are not “antenna support
structures” within the meaning of the FCC’s rules and that, accordingly, Georgia Power has no
obligation of its own in this regard to register the Poles with the FCC, the FAA, or other agency.
E. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that Georgia Power is under no
obligation, either with respect to its own facilities or those of any other attaching entity, as to
facilities now existing or in the future, to protect against harmful interference to the rf signals of
the Licensee, as may emanate or arise from any source.

Georgia Power Pole Attachment License Agreement
Department:Abie L. Ladson, Director
Caption:Approve Georgia Power Company Government Pole Attachment
License Agreement as well as the Addendum for Attachment of
Wireless Facilities as requested by AED/TE.
Background:Currently, there are several on-going projects within the Augusta
Engineering Department (AED) that will include the installation
of fiber-optic communication cables as well as other wireless
communication devices. While, every effort is typically made to
locate these facilities underground, in many instances limitations
of right-of-way or conflicts with other underground utilities make
this a cost-prohibitive approach. In these instances, these facilities
need to be located above ground. Therefore, in an effort to not
further clutter the right-of-way and aesthetics of our roadway
through the installation of dedicated poles, AED is proposing to
enter into a license agreement with Georgia Power to locate and
attach these facilities on their existing poles.
Analysis:Agreement will allow several projects to move forward in a cost-
effective manner without delay.
Financial Impact:License agreement includes an $85/pole fee, which will be
allocated to the individual projects that require pole attachments.
Alternatives:1) Approve Georgia Power Government Pole Attachment License
Agreement and Addendum for Attachment of Wireless Facilities.
2) Do not approve.
