A. The Licensee wishes to utilize underground cabling which will allow for data

Crawford and the Mowery West Building at 671 Elmore Drive.
B. The City has found that the granting of a license to the Licensee to install such
underground cabling in the public right-of-way as shown on Attachment A will not interfere with use
of the public right-of-way by the City or its franchisees.
D. The City has found it to be in the public interest to grant a license to the Licensee to
install such underground cabling, subject to the terms and conditions outlined below.
THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE:
1. Grant. The City hereby grants a license (the "License") to the Licensee to install and
maintain underground cabling between the Mowery Clinic Building and its Mowery West Building
(the "Cable") in the public right-of-way along the route shown on Attachment A (the "Right-of-
Way "), for the limited purposes of:
a. connecting the Licensee's telephone systems; and
b. connecting the Licensee's computer systems.
The Cable is not for the provision of any service to any member of the public on a common carrier or
contract basis, or any other basis to any customer, and the License does not authorize the Licensee to
provide cable service either as a cable operator or through carriage arrangements with any other
entity.
2. Use of Right-of-Way. In the use of the Right-of-Way under this License Agreement,
the Licensee shall be subject to all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions, and ordinances now or
hereafter adopted or promulgated by the City and is subject to all applicable laws, orders, rules, and
regulations adopted by governmental bodies now or hereafter having jurisdiction. In addition, the
Licensee shall be subject to all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions, and ordinances now or
hereafter adopted or promulgated by the City relating to permits and fees, sidewalk and pavement
cuts, utility location, construction coordination, beautification, and other requirements on the use of
the public right-of-way and shall comply with the following:
a. The Licensee's use of the Right-of-Way shall in all matters be subordinate to
the City's use of the Right-of-Way for any public purpose. The Licensee shall coordinate the
placement of the Cable in a manner which minimizes adverse impact on public
improvements, as reasonably determined by the City. Where placement is not otherwise
regulated, the Cable shall be placed with adequate clearance from such public improvements
so as not to impact or be impacted by such public improvement.
b. All earth, materials, sidewalks, paving, crossings, utilities, public
improvements, or improvements of any kind injured or removed by the Licensee in its
activities under this License Agreement shall be fully repaired or replaced promptly by the
Licensee at its expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of the City or owner thereof.
c. All of the materials, plans, and installation of the Cable shall be approved by
or as directed by the City Engineer.
d. The Licensee shall keep and maintain accurate records and as-built drawings
depicting accurate horizontal and vertical location of the Cable as constructed, reconstructed,
or relocated in the Right-of-Way after the date hereof. All points of the Cable shall be
horizontally located from street centerline, or section or quarter section lines or comers.

United States Geological Survey datum.
e. Prior to construction, reconstruction, or relocation of any facilities in the

delayed, or conditioned.
f. The Licensee shall cooperate promptly and fully with the City and take all
measures necessary to provide accurate and complete information regarding the nature and
locations, both horizontal and vertical, of the Cable located within the Right-of-Way when
requested by the City or its authorized agents for a public project. Such location and
identification shall be at the sole expense of the Licensee without expense to the City, its
employees, agents or authorized contractors. The Licensee shall have a person familiar with
the facilities, who is responsible for timely satisfying information needs of the City and other
users of the Right-of-Way.

of-Way for any project planned or undertaken by the City or any governmental entity for
construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repair of public facilities or public
improvements, or any other purpose of a public nature. Such relocation or adjustment shall
be performed by the Licensee at its sole expense without expense to the City, its employees,
agents or authorized contractors and shall be specifically subject to rules and regulations of
the City not inconsistent with this License Agreement pertaining to such.

h. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Licensee to take adequate measures to
protect and defend the Cable in the Right-of-Way from harm or damage. If the Licensee fails
to accurately or timely locate the Cable when requested, it will have no claim for costs or
damages against the City and its authorized contractors or any other party authorized to be in
the Right-of-Way unless such party is solely responsible for the harm or damage by its
negligence or intentional conduct.
i. The Licensee shall notify the City not less than three (3) working days in
advance of any construction, reconstruction, repair, or relocation of the Cable which would
require any street closure which reduces traffic flow to less than two (2) lanes of moving
traffic. The City shall follow its policies in the grant or denial of such street closure, which
shall not be unreasonably delayed. In addition, all work performed in the traveled way or
which in any way impacts vehicular or pedestrian traffic shall be properly signed, barricaded,
and otherwise protected. Such signing shall be in conformance with the latest edition of the
Federal Highway Administration's Standards and Guideline for Work Zone Traffic Control.
j. All technical standards governing construction, reconstruction, installation,
operation, testing, use, maintenance, and dismantling of the Cable in the Right-of-Way shall
be in accordance with applicable present and future federal, state, and City law and regulation,
including but not limited to the most recent editions of the National Electrical Code, the
National Electrical Safety Code and the Fiber Optic Cable Installation Standard of the
Telecommunications Industry Committee, or such substantive equivalents as may hereafter be
adopted or promulgated. It is understood that the standards established in this paragraph are
minimum standards and the requirements established or referenced in this ordinance may be
additional to or stricter than such minimum standards.
3. Indemnification and Hold Harmless. The Licensee shall indemnify and hold and
save the City, its officers, employees, agents, and authorized contractors, harmless from any loss, cost
or damage, including attorneys fees, that may arise from the installation, use, or maintenance of the
Cable in the Right-of-Way by the Licensee, its agents, contractors, or employees pursuant to this
License Agreement.
4. General Liability Insurance. The Licensee agrees to procure and maintain public
liability insurance covering its use and operations on the Right-of-Way, with limits of not less than
the maximum liability for claims which could be asserted against the City for any number of claims
arising out of a single occurrence or accident under the Kansas Tort Claims Act, as it now exists or
may hereafter be amended, and will from time to time increase its limits in such amount as may be
necessary to at all times during the term of this license maintain such limits at the then maximum
liability for such claims under the Kansas Tort Claims Act. The policy shall provide that such
insurance may not be canceled by issuer thereof without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to the
City. The Licensee shall deliver to the City evidence of such insurance.

5. Title. By granting this license the City does not warrant title to or the right to possess
and occupy the Right-of-Way. In the event that it is determined that the City is not entitled to possess
and utilize the Right-of-Way, this License Agreement shall terminate and the Licensee shall quit and
surrender its use of the Cable in the Right-of-Way in compliance with this License Agreement.
6. Corp of Engineer Approvals. Any permission granted pursuant to this License
Agreement to install the Cable shall be subject to and conditional upon approval by the Corp of
Engineers where applicable.

purpose other than that specifically authorized under this License Agreement, all rights granted
hereunder to the Licensee shall immediately cease as if never granted and the Licensee shall
immediately quit and surrender its use of the Cable in the Right-of-Way. In the event that the
Licensee shall fail to comply with any other substantial term, condition or covenant of this License
Agreement within ten (10) days after written notice to do so has been mailed to them by the City, or
in the event the Licensee abandons its authorized use of the Right-of-Way, any such event shall be
deemed an immediate breach and forfeiture of the License Agreement which shall then terminate.
Upon such termination of this license, the Licensee will quit and surrender its use of the Cable in the
Right-of-Way in compliance with the terms of this License Agreement.

shall continue until the earlier of:
a. The Licensee's discontinuation of its authorized use of the Right-of-Way;
b. Notification of the Licensee by the City that the public interest is best served by the
use of the Right-of-Way in a manner in conflict with the License, and that the License
shall terminate no less than 90 days following such notice; or
c. Termination of the License pursuant to paragraph 7 above.
9. Removal of Cable. Upon termination of this License Agreement, the Licensee shall
have the right to remove the Cable within a reasonable time, not to exceed one hundred twenty (120)
days. In the event the Licensee chooses to exercise the right to remove the Cable, it shall within the
permitted time period restore the Right-of-Way from which the Cable is removed to as good a
condition as existed prior to the removal. In the event the Licensee should exercise its right to
remove the Cable but fail to properly restore the Right-of-Way, the City shall have the right to cause
the Right-of-Way to be restored and to charge any reasonable costs associated therewith to the
Licensee.
