This work will produce documentation required for the County and its selected construction contractor to procure materials and construct both outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) portions of the network. This proposal anticipates a single railroad crossing will be required to complete the fiber extension. CTC will take into account future needs when identifying the optimal crossing location, such as potential connectivity to the Park Operations Center. The engineering services, along with the resulting Engineering Work Documents (EWD), will cover the following tasks as required: •Site surveys •Path and facility-entrance designs •Desktop designs of OSP •Right-of-way (ROW) field surveys and walk-out maps •Desktop review of proposed routes over available environmental and wildlife mapping •Pole license applications and tracking support for construction contractor •CAD construction plans and permit application drawings •Engineering detail sheets/‘typicals’ (i.e., the standard set of required construction parameters, covering details such as depth of trenching and type of handhole, that will accompany all engineering prints) •ROW permit services •Material specifications •Bill of materials (BOM) •As-built documentation support We describe our tasks in detail below: Task 1: Site Surveys An experienced CTC engineer will perform comprehensive site visits at Public Works and Animal Services facilities. This proposal assumes the County will facilitate access to both sites and that appropriate building representatives will be available during both surveys to ensure the design is acceptable to the building owners. CTC will coordinate in advance with County staff for site access. Path verification and building points of entry and demarcation will be verified for constructability. Specific designs communicated by the local facility point of contact will be noted. CTC will develop a design drawing for the facility-entrance and ISP pathway. The designs will include site photos depicting the point of demarcation, fiber pathways, and barriers to DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 2 construction along the route. The designs will also incorporate engineering field notes and the site’s existing facility plans (if available). Task 2: Desktop Design and Field Verification Using local base maps, as-built plans, fiber allocation maps, aerial imagery route maps, and any additional guidance received from the County, CTC will conduct a desktop design prior to a field verification and survey of the fiber routes. This proposal assumes the County will provide any available data in advance of the field survey. The CTC engineer will walk out the routes and will photograph, survey, and take detailed notes via a GPS device on all relevant physical features relating to OSP construction. CTC uses state-of- the-art field survey equipment, including Trimble Geo 7X handheld GPS receivers and related software (Trimble Pathfinder Office and TerraSync), to automate the OSP engineering and GIS surveying processes. A walkout map of the route will be designed and produced in ESRI ArcGIS. (See the figure below for a sample walkout map.) The field survey will include measuring features within the ROW for placement of aerial strand and underground conduit, and recording other pertinent details, including: x Utility poles x Slack storage x Storm drains and culverts x Edge of pavement x Municipal facilities x Street lights and signal poles x Splice cases x Equipment cabinets x Vaults and pedestals x Existing third-party utilities x Attachment heights x Green space x Pole attachments The information listed above will be recorded from visual observation while the survey is conducted, and those items necessary to aid in construction will be documented in the construction plans. CTC’s engineer will note any potential barriers to construction, as well as potential route improvements, and will also determine what permits will be needed to construct the fiber.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 4 Using the information from the survey, our team will complete a desktop review to identify and avoid potential impact to environmentally sensitive areas and vulnerable wildlife species. The scope of this proposal does not include wetland delineations or environmental permitting; however, we will advise the County as to our desk review findings and any likely areas of environmental permitting identified by our review. Moreover, CTC will support initial consultations with environmental permitting authorities that may be necessary to determine permitting requirements. Task 3: CAD Design of Routes and Generation of BOM Once designs are reviewed and accepted by the County and additional stakeholders, CTC’s team will convert the walkout map drawings and the GIS data collected into AutoCAD drawings (see figure below for a sample). The drawings will include: •Running line of fiber •Position of existing utility poles •Road names •Railroad crossings •Bridges •Fixed markers/significant landmarks (e.g., fire hydrants, valves, poles) •Environmental protected areas (e.g., wetlands, bodies of water) •Flood plains •Easements •Rights-of-way •Any applicable public utilities or assets •Any applicable private utilities or assets •Termination points, coils, vaults, splices •Fiber entry and installation, as applicable CTC will provide a preliminary set of design drawings to the County for a single round of review and input. After feedback has been provided, CTC will update the design drawings and provide a final set of CAD documents to the County. Additionally, CTC will generate a BOM detailing the type and quantities of materials needed by the construction contractor to build the engineered design. CTC will review preliminary material specifications with the County, and will provide recommendations prior to finalizing the BOM, as appropriate. DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 5 Figure 2: Sample Design Drawing Task 4: Permit Applications This proposal assumes that three separate permits will be required to extend fiber infrastructure from Public Works to Animal Services: one municipal ROW permit, one NCDOT ROW permit, and one railroad crossing permit. Upon the completion of CTC’s field verification work, we will prepare a complete list of required permits. Any special permits, such as railroad crossings (e.g., ROW and encroachment permits) and bridge attachments, will also be prepared to complete the engineering services, but may require additional input and discussion with the County and the appropriate permitting agency/organization. We note that some special permits may require one-time and/or ongoing payments directly from the County to the applicable permit authority. CTC will initiate and manage the submissions of all required permits and will track each application through to approval. To ensure the timely approval of permit applications, CTC will be prepared to quickly follow up on issues raised by the permitting authorities. When an issuing entity identifies any concerns in its initial review of a permit application, the reviewer will typically return the plans, send an e-mail about the issue, or call the engineer or project manager to discuss the concern. If an application or portion of an application is returned, CTC staff will discuss the necessary changes internally, then make appropriate revisions and resubmit the application (as needed), or simply e-mail or call the permit reviewer to provide the information DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 6 requested. The scope of this proposal anticipates that at most one round of revisions would be required per permit application submitted. Task 5: As-builts and Fiber Optic Performance Test Data Review Engineering revisions necessary due to changes in the County’s functional requirements or other factors will be documented by the construction contractor. We anticipate the County will require its construction contractor to provide “redlines” of construction prints and/or electronic data detailing final as-built conditions, such as: x Cable slack coil lengths / fiber cable sequential footage markings x Conduit placement depth and/or offset measurements; x GPS coordinates of handholes x GPS coordinates of conduit paths and/or location data from directional boring guidance systems CTC will produce final as-built revisions to applicable EWDs, to include construction CAD prints, GIS data, and splice matrices/schematics. Task 6: Construction Bid Support CTC will assist the County through a competitive bid process for the construction of the County fiber network. Specifically, CTC will assist with the preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for construction of the network based on County-approved engineering designs, to include technical specifications, scope of work language, and evaluation criteria. We anticipate these materials will be based substantially on permit-ready EWD materials prepared as part of Task 3. We anticipate that the completed bid document will serve as a template for future fiber construction projects. Further, CTC will assist in responding to vendor questions during the bid process and/or preparing addenda to the RFP, as needed. Task 7: Construction Oversight CTC will serve as the County’s representative overseeing the performance of the selected fiber construction Contractor to the extent needed to augment the County’s own project manager and/or inspectors. Specifically, we envision the following subtasks may be required: x Attend a project kick-off meeting, and facilitate regular project status conference calls with the Contractor x Review and approve project timelines for construction prepared by the Contractor DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 7 x Review contractor construction management and safety plans x Develop quality assurance inspection checklists to facilitate construction oversight x Perform on-site inspection during construction for safety and workmanship x Perform on-site post-construction inspection for compliance with the approved designs and workmanship, to include a detailed review of accuracy and completeness for a sampling of as-built documentation provided by the Contractor; this may include verifying slack loop cable lengths; verifying proper bonding/grounding; and verifying location of outside plant assets (splice enclosures, slack loops, handholes, etc.) using precision GPS receivers x Review all Contractor-provided fiber optic performance test data, and perform independent testing (OTDR and power meter) for a suitable sampling to validate Contractor-provided test data x Review Contractor’s construction invoices for consistency with design and observed construction progress x Prepare a comprehensive report documenting the results of our test data review, independent testing, and post-construction inspection to provide verification that the network, as installed, is suitable for the County's purposes and conforms to the approved final design CTC anticipates that up to a week of on-site inspection during construction will be required with an additional day for post-construction inspection and fiber testing.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 9 Experience CTC has designed, engineered, and overseen the construction of thousands of miles of outside plant. Our past experience includes the following representative sample projects—all of which were completed on time and on budget. Many additional project descriptions and references are available on request. Resumes for key staff involved in our fiber network engineering work are included in Appendix A. County of Westminster, Maryland Dr. Robert Wack, Former Common Council President (443) 340-3227, rwack1@comcast.net CTC prepared a fiber feasibility study and business case for the County of Westminster in 2012 and 2013. Our report, which included a technical design and cost estimates for a Countywide FTTP deployment, led to the implementation of two last-mile FTTP pilot projects (one focused on residential customers, one focused on businesses). Following the success of the County’s pilot projects, and ultimately the funding approval for the Countywide FTTP deployment, CTC continues to support the ongoing FTTP deployment over a range of tasks spanning fiber infrastructure engineering, network design, construction bidding, construction oversight, and quality assurance inspection. We also assisted the County in identifying a private partner to assume operating risk in providing services to the public over the County’s FTTP infrastructure; the County announced its public– private partnership in 2015.1 Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina Mr. Jeff Wilson, IT Director (919) 567-4013, jeff.wilson@hollyspringsnc.us CTC conducted a broadband needs assessment and developed a strategic approach and return on investment (ROI) analysis for the town’s proposed fiber network implementation. Our team of project managers, outside plant engineers, and network engin eers then designed and oversaw implementation of a middle-mile fiber network serving the town’s community anchor institutions (e.g., schools and libraries) and major economic development partners. The first sites on the 19- mile network went live in June 2014. As in our engagement with the County of Westminster, we also assisted the town in identifying a private partner to construct and operate a last mile FTTP network providing services to the 1 For more details, see CTC’s website: http://www.ctcnet.us/blog/maryland-County-announces-groundbreaking- fiber-partnership-with-ting-internet/.

The town announced its public–private partnership with Ting Internet in 2015.2 Anne Arundel County, Maryland Mr. John Lyons, Former CATV Administrator (301) 429-7508, itlyon00@gmail.com CTC has provided the county with OSP fiber design and engineering for multiple large projects. In 2010 to 2012, CTC provided OSP engineering for a federally funded project to connect community anchor locations (e.g., government buildings, schools) and expand the county’s fiber infrastructure. The engineering for that project totaled over 70 miles, and included a rural FTTP network in the southern portion of the county. In 2015, CTC provided OSP engineering for a county-funded project to connect schools and traffic signal locations and further extend the county-built fiber infrastructure by 90 miles. CTC’s work on both projects included field surveys, generating engineering prints and bills of materials, network and splicing design, permitting, and acceptance testing. CTC also developed RFP language for OSP construction and fiber maintenance. CTC currently provides the county with ongoing engineering support for various last mile engineering projects and provides construction oversight and QA/QC work for the county.

At the FiberNet manager’s direction, the team lead spends up to 20 hours per week at the FiberNet offices, supporting the FiberNet team on a range of significant short- and long-term design and planning engagements. CTC developed the initial design and architecture, in collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Transportation, for the network that would later become FiberNet. We did this in response to the immediate need to support traffic communications and cameras—but also in response to what we saw as the County’s future needs for networking, video, data services, and the Internet. Later, during the County's cable TV franchise renewal, we identified as a high priority the need to obtain fiber-optic infrastructure from the cable operator; this outside plant would complement the County’s existing infrastructure and become part of FiberNet— and enable the County to have high availability services at a r easonable cost. As a result, the County has become a national leader in its network and enterprise capabilities. CTC also assists the County by providing support for the technological evolution of FiberNet, so it can better meet the growing customer demand caused by the growth of the network’s physical footprint. Recently, CTC completed a preliminary analysis of optical network hardware platforms based on a high-level understanding of growing capacity demands and emerging requirements across FiberNet’s increasingly diverse customer base. The analysis identified differentiating attributes among market-leading optical network platforms offering strategic advantages aligned with the County’s objectives, and developed baseline specifications and a system-level design for an initial upgrade phase. We also evaluated options for DTS to use FiberNet to expand service to Montgomery College and Montgomery County Public Schools. CTC also completed an Organizational Governance Study that evaluated County goals and objectives against its current operational, technological, and organizational structure; to recommend a series of changes to improve its value delivery and DocuSign Envelope ID: FDEE3CE5-2218-4290-8CC7-E06D1211E72A CTC Proposal to Orange County – Public Works to Animal Services Page 12 operational efficiency; and to better align its operations and financial performance to key stakeholder objectives. x UltraMontgomery: To support development of the County’s UltraMontgomery fiber infrastructure, CTC prepared a fiber market analysis, conducted a competitive assessment of the fiber market, developed a set of proposed in-building wiring standards, and identified a likely evolution path to guide the County’s planning. During the initial stages of this ongoing project, we identified opportunities to cost-effectively expand County fiber to serve the Great Seneca Science Corridor and White Oak Science Gateway, as well as to link the area near NIST to the Equinix Data Center in Ashburn, Virginia. x Maryland Inter-County Broadband Network (ICBN): CTC provided technical leadership and detailed outside plant design services for the ICBN. As the Portfolio Manager for this project, we oversaw and directed engineering and fiber network construction contractors—including the expansion of FiberNet with 132 additional miles of fiber constructed to 100 new sites. x NCRnet: Through our engineering, planning, and integration efforts, the County continues to maximize the benefits of its interconnection with the National Capital Region interoperability network—supporting public safety, video conferencing, and other applications and ensuring reliable communications across jurisdictions. x Cable: We also provided engineering and strategic support to DTS and the Cable Office during the cable TV franchise renewals. We provided the ongoing technical oversight of the Comcast, RCN, and Verizon cable systems, including regular tests and field inspections, tests, and developing data and recommendations in support of the County’s franchise enforcement and renewal processes. We oversaw the twice-yearly FCC proof- of-performance. Our ongoing support of the County’s technical needs has included assisting the County in responding to economic development initiatives, such as planning fiber and broadband in downtown Silver Spring and strategies to bring broadband to unserved areas. We have also identified ways to support Montgomery County Public Schools and Montgomery College, and supported the implementation of public safety applications such as automatic vehicle location.
