but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings)
to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability
whatsoever (“Claims”), insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out
of, or are caused by or based upon the negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or
omissions, in connection with the work or services of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in the performance of this Agreement. The amount and type
of insurance coverage requirements set forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the
scope of the indemnity in this Section.
13. Insurance.
13.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended, with
an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the Town.
Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage and self-insured
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and
Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted
by law for claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement, the Town, its agents,
representatives, officers, directors, officials and employees as Additional Insured as
specified under the respective coverage sections of this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
1943810.3
4
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
G. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
H. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
I. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencing any work or services
under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. In the event any insurance
policy required by this Agreement is written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall
extend for two years past completion of the Services and the Town’s acceptance of the
Contractor’s work or services and as evidenced by annual certificates of insurance. If
any of the policies required by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it
shall be Contractor’s responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration
page(s) to the Town 30 days prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and
declarations required by this Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFP title or
this Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFP number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)
1943810.3

Town and, as such, may be terminated without cause after receipt by Contractor of written notice
by the Town. Upon termination for convenience, Contractor shall be paid for all undisputed
services performed to the termination date.

Agreement and such party fails to cure its nonperformance within 30 days after notice of

and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure
of its nonperformance. In no event shall any such cure period exceed 90 days. In the event of

7
such termination for cause, payment shall be made by the Town to the Contractor for the
undisputed portion of its fee due as of the termination date.
14.3 Due to Work Stoppage. This Agreement may be terminated by the Town

14.4 Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of ARIZ.
REV. STAT. § 38-511. The Town may cancel this Agreement without penalty or further

Town or any of its departments or agencies is, at any time while this Agreement or any extension
of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a contractor to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
14.5 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel this
Agreement if it is found by the Town that gratuities, in the form of economic opportunity, future
employment, entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Contractor or any
agent or representative of the Contractor to any officer, agent or employee of the Town for the
purpose of securing this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is canceled by the Town
pursuant to this provision, the Town shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and
remedies, to recover or withhold from the Contractor an amount equal to 150% of the gratuity.

for purposes of this Agreement and are actually available for payment. The Town shall be the
sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the
Town shall keep the Contractor fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement.
The obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current
expense of the Town, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a general
obligation or indebtedness of the Town. If the Town Council fails to appropriate money
sufficient to pay the amounts as set forth in this Agreement during any immediately succeeding
fiscal year, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of then-current fiscal year and the Town
and the Contractor shall be relieved of any subsequent obligation under this Agreement.

an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not entitled
to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the authority to
supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors. The
Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
1943810.3
8

Administration standards.

amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Contractor.

clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were

correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.

represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.

assigned by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town signed by the Town
Manager and no delegation of any duty of Contractor shall be made without prior, written

15.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
15.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.

requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.

The Tri-Max™ body structure shall consist entirely of closed section members, except where the bod y is mounted to the
chassis. Closed section members (such as square, rectangular, triangular, or round tubes) are required because they
provide maximum strength and torsion rigidity. This solid tubular structural style of design ultimately adds longevity to
the body structure by eliminating flex and twists in material, creating less stress and fatigue. Body designs that use
independent sub-frames will not be acceptable.
Body Structure Members:The space frame body shall have triangular shaped structural members in certain areas of the
body. This shape is required to prevent loss of useable compartment space. Other body structure members shall be square
or rectangular. Each structural member will have a nominal outside dimension of 2.5” in at least one d irection. The body
shall be designed for maximum strength to weight ratio, therefore the gauge of sheet metal and structural members varies
from .125 to .250 throughout, dependent on the design requirement.
Body Material Type:All body structural members shall be Aluminum 6061-T6 alloy material. All .125 sheet material
shall be Aluminum Alloy 5052-H32 and .250 sheet materials shall be Aluminum Alloy 3003. These alloys are required
because it provides optimum all around performance for strength, manufacturing properties, and corrosion resistance.
Absolutely no dissimilar metals shall be used in the body and its supporting substructure without being separated by a
sufficient corrosion and electrolysis inhibitor.

structural flush fitting door frame and a complete door/weather seal.
Compartment Load Capacity:Each compartment shall have a minimum of one additional structural compartment floor
support centered on the underside of the compartment floor. This additional member shall be integral with the rest of the
body structure. Each compartment must be designed, and 3rd party analyzed to carry a working load of:
Full depth side compartment: 1,000 lbs per compartment
Half depth side compartment: 750 lbs per compartment
Rear center compartment: 1,500 lbs per compartment
Exterior Hose Bed Walls:The exterior hose bed walls shall be an integral portion of the body. The wall shall give a
smooth exterior look and finish with no vertical supports tubing visible from the exterior of the truck.
Finite Element Analysis:The proposed body design must have completed a review and analysis by a legitimate 3rd party
engineering firm. At a minimum, the 3rd party must have conducted a computer model finite element analysis of the
proposed design. The analysis is to include real world working load scenarios. Analysis to cover both static and dynamic
situations must be completed. The purpose of the finite element analysis is to ensure proper design of the apparatus body,
and that it is capable of carrying the typical fire apparatus loads and those specified by NFPA for equipment. The analysis
process must conclude that the body structure is properly designed and manufactured to provide longevity under normal
conditions. The 3rd party must also validate the manufacturing processes are consistent with the design and analysis
performed. Proof of having completed this testing must be submitted with the bid.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO OPTION AND LEASE AGREEMENT (this
“Second Amendment”) is entered into as of May 2, 2013, between the Town of Fountain Hills,

Delaware limited liability company f/k/a/ AT&T Wireless PCS, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Tenant”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this
Second Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement (defined below).
RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into an Option and Lease Agreement dated
December 20, 2001 (the “Initial Agreement”), for the Tenant to lease a portion of certain real
property owned by Landlord for the installation of a Communication Facility.
B. The Initial Agreement was amended on July 2, 2009 (the “First Amendment”), to
expand the portion of the property occupied by Tenant (the “Premises”) and to provide for the
installation of additional communication facilities. The Initial Agreement and the First
Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement.”
C. Tenant desires to expand the Premises and construct the related improvements
thereupon for the removal of three existing 4’ antennas and installation of new antennas and
associated equipment (collectively the “Replacement Antennas”) on a relocated and modified
single pole (the “Replacement Pole”) as well as related ground equipment (the “Additional
Equipment”) (the Replacement Antennas, the Replacement Pole and the Additional Equipment
are collectively referred to herein as the “Modified Communication Facilities”), as described and
depicted on the site plans prepared by Bechtel Communications Inc., entitled “Four Peaks
Tennis,” attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Plans”). The
Plans shall include any modifications approved by the Town Manager or authorized designee.
D. Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Second Amendment to (i) expand
the Premises, (ii) authorize the installation of the Modified Communication Facilities on the
Premises and (iii) increase the monthly rent paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are hereby
incorporated by reference, the promises and covenants set forth herein, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1908553.7

1. Premises. The Premises occupied by Tenant under the Agreement shall be
expanded to a total of 668 square feet as described and depicted on the Plans, attached hereto as
Exhibit 1. Tenant has the right to erect, maintain and operate on the Premises foundations, utility
lines, transmission lines, air conditioned equipment shelters, fences, electronic equipment, radio
transmitting and receiving antennas, an emergency generator, supporting equipment and
structures thereto, as more particularly described on the Plans.
2. Modified Communication Facilities. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained in the Agreement, Landlord grants to Tenant the right to construct, install, operate and
maintain the Modified Communication Facilities within the Premises, in accordance with the
Plans, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
2.1 Replacement Pole. Tenant shall construct on the Premises, the 80’
Replacement Pole in accordance with the Plans, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The Replacement
Pole shall be of the type, configuration and design as set forth on the Plans. Tenant may only
install on the Replacement Pole cellular panel antennas and associated equipment of the type,

Agreement, upon completion of the Replacement Pole, Tenant shall provide to the Landlord a
bill of sale, transferring ownership of the Replacement Pole and the related facilities to the

Amendment and, subject to the terms of this Second Amendment and the Agreement, for each

additional Extension Term as set forth in Section 5 of the Agreement.

installation activities related to the Modified Communication Facilities (the “Facilities
Construction”) will affect existing landscaping. All affected landscaping shall be removed and
protected until completion of the Facilities Construction. Upon completion of the Facilities
Construction, all removed landscaping shall be replanted at locations approved by Landlord.
Any landscaping that does not survive removal and replanting shall be replaced with landscaping
of like kind and size unless otherwise approved by Landlord. The performance obligations

below.
1908553.7

5. Performance Bond. The Tenant shall be required to furnish non-revocable
security binding the Tenant to provide faithful performance of this Second Amendment in the
amount of 100% of the total cost to construct the Replacement Pole payable to the Landlord.
Performance security shall be in the form of a performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit,
certified check or cashier’s check. This security must be in the possession of the Town’s
Finance Department within the time specified or seven days after approval of this Second
Amendment by the Town Council, if no period is specified. If the Tenant fails to execute the
security document as required, the Tenant may be found in default and this Second Amendment
terminated by the Landlord. In case of default the Landlord reserves all rights. The performance
bond shall be executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, duly executed by the Tenant as
Principal and having as Surety thereon a Surety company approved by the Landlord and holding
a Certificate of Authority to transact surety business in the State of Arizona, by the Arizona
Department of Insurance. Individual sureties are unacceptable. All Insurers and Sureties shall

6. Records and Audit Rights. To ensure that the Landlord and its subcontractors are
complying with the warranty under Section 7 below, Landlord’s and its subcontractors’ books,
records, correspondence, accounting procedures and practices, and any other supporting
evidence relating to the Agreement, including the papers of any Landlord and its subcontractors’
employees who perform any work or services pursuant to the Agreement (all of the foregoing
hereinafter referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and/or
reproduction during normal working hours by the Town, to the extent necessary to adequately
permit (i) evaluation and verification of any invoices, payments or claims based on Landlord’s
and its subcontractors’ actual costs (including direct and indirect costs and overhead allocations)
incurred, or units expended directly in the performance of work under the Agreement and (ii)
evaluation of the Landlord’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the Arizona employer
sanctions laws referenced in Section 7 below. To the extent necessary for the Town to audit
Records as set forth in this Section, Landlord and its subcontractors hereby waive any rights to
keep such Records confidential. For the purpose of evaluating or verifying such actual or
claimed costs or units expended, the Town shall have access to said Records, even if located at
its subcontractors’ facilities, from the effective date of the Agreement for the duration of the
work and until three years after the date of final payment by the Town to Landlord pursuant to
the Agreement. Landlord and its subcontractors shall provide the Town with adequate and
appropriate workspace so that the Town can conduct audits in compliance with the provisions of
this Section. The Town shall give Landlord or its subcontractors reasonable advance notice of
intended audits. Landlord shall require its subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this
Section by insertion of the requirements hereof in any subcontract pursuant to the Agreement and
this Second Amendment.
7. E-verify Requirements. To the extent applicable under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 41-
4401, the Landlord and its subcontractors warrant compliance with all federal immigration laws
and regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with the E-verify
requirements under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 23-214(A). Landlord’s or its subcontractors’ failure to
1908553.7

comply with such warranty shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement and may result
in the termination of the Agreement and this Second Amendment by the Town.
8. Scrutinized Business Operations. Pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. §§ 35-391.06 and
35-393.06, the Landlord certifies that it does not have scrutinized business operations in Sudan
or Iran. For the purpose of this subsection the term “scrutinized business operations” shall have
the meanings set forth in ARIZ. REV. STAT. §§ 35-391 or 35-393, as applicable. If the Town
determines that the Landlord submitted a false certification, the Town may impose remedies as
provided by law including terminating the Agreement pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement.
