24. Accuracy of Specifications. The specifications for this project are believed by the City to be accurate
and to contain no affirmative misrepresentation or any concealment of fact. Consultants are cautioned
to undertake an independent analysis of any test results in the specifications, as City does not guaranty
the accuracy of its interpretation of test results contained in the specifications package. In preparing
its proposal, the Consultant and all sub-consultants named in its proposal shall bear sole responsibility
for proposal preparation errors resulting from any misstatements or omissions in the specifications that
could easily have been ascertained by examining either the project site or accurate test data in the
City's possession. Although the effect of ambiguities or defects in the specifications will be as
determined by law, any patent ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of Consultant to inquire prior
to proposal submittal. Failure to so inquire shall cause any such ambiguity or defect to be construed
against the Consultant. An ambiguity or defect shall be considered patent if it is of such a nature that
the Consultant, assuming reasonable skill, ability and diligence on its part, knew or should have known
of the existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the Consultant or sub-consultants
to notify City in writing of specification defects or ambiguities prior to proposal submittal shall waive any
right to assert said defects or ambiguities subsequent to submittal of the proposal.
To the extent that these specifications constitute performance specifications, the City shall not be liable
for costs incurred by the successful Consultant to achieve the project’s objective or standard beyond
the amounts provided therefor in the proposal.

ambiguity or defect in the specifications, or any other matter whatsoever, Consultant shall immediately
notify the City in writing, and the Consultant and all sub-consultants shall continue to perform,
irrespective of whether or not the ambiguity or defect is major, material, minor or trivial, and irrespective
of whether or not a change order, time extension, or additional compensation has been granted by City.
Failure to provide the hereinbefore described written notice within one (1) working day of Consultant's
becoming aware of the facts giving rise to the dispute shall constitute a waiver of the right to assert the
causative role of the defect or ambiguity in the plans or specifications concerning the dispute.

(a) Non-design, non-construction Professional Services: To the fullest extent permitted by
law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8), Consultant shall

WORK PROGRAM
High-Level Design (30%)
EN will create a High-Level Design (30%) to start. As we develop the High-Level Design,
we will work with the San Luis Obispo team to determine the best running lines,
infrastructure, and locations where fiber should be constructed.
At the initiation of design work, we will collaborate with the City to create a comprehensive
design specification. This document will define precisely what we will be designing, and the
customer's approval will be obtained before any work begins in GIS. This approach not only
ensures alignment with the customer's expectations but also provides both parties with a
solid foundation for optimal design decision making. We will work with the City to acquire
any relevant GIS data that can be utilized to support decision making in regard to routes
and construction timelines.
The High-Level Design will include geo-located data layers for the following:
• Review of construction standards, policies and practices
• Placement of new backbone cable
• Right-of-way analysis
• Sites to connect on the backbone
• Laterals to each site
• Interconnection with core data centers/utility sites
Low-Level Design (60%) Pole Loading and Surveying
Once consensus on the high-level design has been received, EN will begin the onsite
fielding process, in which the internal field team will conduct detailed walkouts of all routes
and fiber lines. Our fielding process identifies features and attributes, constructability,
hazards, and a survey of existing infrastructure. This gives us the ability to expedite the
design process in concert with our onsite field team. The fielding team will also provide
make-ready analysis for the fiber overbuild. EN will look at the opportunities to overlash
existing cable vs new attachments for backbone fiber installation.
After all field data has been collected, EN will begin the detailed engineering design from
the survey data and make adjustments to running lines. This is known as the Low-Level
Design and is the 60% milestone. EN utilizes a route optimization process to determine the
best paths for fiber backbone routes, avoiding any potential constructability issues
encountered during the fielding process. This process allows us to optimize the final routes
for you and value engineer the network to keep costs down. Our low-level design process
will also create all fiber cable sizes, splicing diagrams, port assignments, terminations and
final site connections for the new backbone. Furthermore, it will provide preliminary bills of
materials and cost estimates for the new network.
EN will review the Low-Level Design (60%) with the City and will provide the first set of
construction prints with detailed placement and routing, integration with existing fiber and
conduit, preliminary fiber splice plans, cabinet layouts, pedestals and other low-level
outside plant infrastructure documentation. EN will provide a detailed review of the plant
with the City, pointing out how the design has changed from the 30% Conceptual Design. In
DocuSign Envelope ID: E8D45456-AEB5-4737-B0AA-4BDD483CCC65
Page 38
this review, EN will provide GIS data and plots to the City in advance of the meetings, so
you have ample time to review. Accompanying this data will also be the preliminary cost
estimates, bills of materials and bid package documents for construction. This 60% review
will give the City a chance to provide feedback to EN at a more detailed level and better
understand the costs of plant construction, to determine if any changes should be made to
reduce budgets, speed the deployment, or adjust the fiber routes.
Final Design (90%)
Once all updates are invoked EN will complete the 90% milestone known as the Final
Design. This design process will incorporate any changes from the 60% Low-Level Design
into the final design. We will finalize all routing, alignments, separations, structure sizing
and placement, cabinet placement, splice plans and other components of the design. This
process will also identify all permits required, costs and timeframes to acquire the permits.
EN will have a final review with the City to review all of the scope and address any
questions or concerns.
Bill of Materials
EN will create a final high-level design and cost estimates for the fiber and wireless
networks which itemizes all labor, materials and equipment costs. We will provide a
comprehensive bill of materials with unit rates for construction, based on local labor costs
that are commensurate with the current market. This bill of materials will supply each per
unit cost for outside plant construction, splicing, termination, testing, wireless siting,
construction, installation and activation.

PRICING: SIX (6) DESIGN MODELS
EN Engineering has provided a separate City of San Luis Obispo Design Engineering Price
Sheet. The Price Sheet provides detailed pricing for each of the six (6) design models as
requested. It also provides two pricing models, Model A and Model B based on the
availability of as-built/plan information being available or not in electronic/geo-coded format
for existing City assets. The City may choose to apply pricing Models A and B based on the
3 approaches outlined below.
Model A:
This model has the best pricing available to the City for designs of new build as
conceptualized in Phases1A, 1B, and 2. It assumes that as-built/plan information is
available for existing fiber or outside plant assets in electronic/geo-coded format.
Model A: Splice Ready Approach
The "Splice Ready Approach" uses the same pricing in Model A for designs of new build as
conceptualized in Phases 1, 1B, and 2, but would not take into account any as-builts, plans,
fielding, or other detailed documentation of the existing City network because that as-
built/plan information is not available in electronic/geo-coded format. Proposed interconnect
locations between the existing City network and new build would be identified by location
and type, but without including the City Backbone Loop into the design budget to verify and
confirm interconnect points and network architecture. The City may wish to choose this
model if the documentation of the existing network fiber or outside plant is unavailable or
incomplete and perform this task when appropriate during construction.
Model B:
This model includes design and fielding work to identify interconnect points throughout the
City's existing backbone, including interconnects at existing vaults and boxes, even if no
as-builts/plans are located for existing fiber or outside plant assets.

City of San Luis Obispo Design Engineering - Four Design Models*
* - Each of the 4 options are independent and not cumulative. The City may choose to apply one design package from the 4 pricing
models based on the approaches outlined below.
Model A: Splice Ready
The "Splice Ready Approach" has lower costs borne by the City, and can be used by the City for two reasons: 1) it will design splices and
interconnects post-construction (usually negotiated to be done by a third party network operator), and/or 2) it does not have geo-coded
maps of existing infrastructure that allow for accurate interconnect and splicing design. Model A would not take into account any as-builts,
plans, fielding, or other detailed documentation of the existing City network. Proposed interconnect locations between the existing City
network and new build would roughly correspond to interconnect at existing network location, but would design new vaults/boxes for
interconnects (these could be moved/adjusted during construction as a change order). Model A would not include fielding for the City
Backbone Loop to verify and confirm interconnect points and network architecture. The City may wish to choose this model if the
documentation of the existing network fiber or outside plant is unavailable or incomplete and perform this task when appropriate during
construction.
Model B: Network Integration
This model assumes City has geo-coded maps of existing network and infrastructure, and includes incorporating design and fielding work to
identify interconnect points throughout the City's existing backbone, including interconnects and splices at existing vaults and boxes.
Fielding work will include verifying existing asset and interconnect locations to utilize as much existing City assets as possible, including
verifying any and all interconnects along the 120,314 LF of existing network to confirm and verify that the City-provided maps are accurate.
Any discrepancies in the locations between City maps and actual asset location will be identified in fielding and corrected during the final
design process to ensure accurate plans and design.
City will splice into existing network post-construction (through
3rd party operator)
AND/OR
City has no digital geo-accurate maps of existing infrastructure.
City has digital, geo-accurate maps of existing infrastucture to be
incorporated into design with splice points identified

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Carahsoft OBO City of San Luis Obispo (we, us or Company) may be
required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the
terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through
your DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below
carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your
satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking
the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
