AT&T and Customer hereby agree to following terms: 1. Tariffs/Guidebooks. This Agreement is subject to and controlled by the provisions of AT&T's tariffs/guidebooks as applicable and all such revisions to said documents as maybe made from time to time. 2. Special Construction. This Agreement is for the special construction as further described on page 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Special Construction"). As consideration for the Special Construction, Customer shall pay to AT&T $ 254,133.01 . Advance payment based on estimated cost is required before work will begin for any project estimated to cost $2SK or more. Payment in full for the remaining balance exceeding the advance payment based on actual costs is required within thirty days after AT&T issues an invoice to the Customer for the Special Construction Charges. 3. Price Quote. The price is guaranteed for 60 days from July 14, 2023 If the charges are not accepted within 60 days the request will be canceled and a new request will need to be placed. The second estimate may be higher than the price that was originally quoted. 4. Early Termination. Should Customer terminate or cancel this Agreement prior to the completion of construction, Customer shall remain liable for the Special Construction Charges. Customer acknowledges and agrees AT&T shall incur substantial up -front costs in connection with its performance under this Agreement and that damages in the event of such early termination or cancellation are not readily ascertainable and that in such event of early termination payment of the Special Construction Charges is reasonable. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that it hereby waives any right to contest such payment of the Special Construction Charges for any reason, including, but not limited to reasonableness of the charges, quality of the work, or timeliness of the work. S. Limitation of Liability. AT&T's maximum liability arising in, out of or in any way connected to this Agreement shall be as set forth in the tariffs and/or guidebooks, as applicable, and in no event shall exceed Special Construction Charges paid by Customer to AT&T. at&t Page 3 of 5 6. Changes in Scope of Work. The parties recognize that this is an 'Actual Cost' contract. "Actual Cost" means that Customer will be provided with a final bill after the completion of all work and agrees to pay that final bill. The final bill will be calculated based on AT&T's billing practices and work performed, which Customer agrees to accept. Customer understands and agrees that the final bill for the Actual Cost may exceed the preliminary cost estimate that has been provided for this work. Consequently, AT&T is not required to provide the Customer with prior notice that the Actual Cost has exceeded the preliminary cost estimate prior to providing the final bill. Further, if the Customer initiates changes in the scope of the work after AT&T has provided the preliminary cost estimate or after executing this contract, the above cost estimate and this contract are null and void. A new cost estimate must be provided based on the new scope of work and a new contract entered. Additionally, if the contractor bid exceeds the estimated contractor costs the applicant will be responsible for additional costs and a change order will be issued for customer approval. Work will not commence until signed change order and additional payment has been received. 7. Changes Due to Field Conditions. In the event there exists any conditions in the field that differ from those that existed at the time AT&T provided the quote or from the time the Customer executes the contract, AT&T shall bill and Customer shall pay any additional cost. Field conditions that may alter the cost associated with this work include, but are not limited to, conditions that exist below the surface of the ground and could not have been anticipated at the time of the price quote, above ground barriers, Acts of God affecting the progress or sequencing of the work, labor disputes and other conditions or circumstances that AT&T could not have reasonably anticipated at the time the cost estimate was provided. Differing field conditions are but one example of why the Actual Cost may exceed the preliminary cost estimate. Further, items that Customer has agreed to provide in connection with the Special Construction work, such as (but not limited to) providing conduit and/or handholes, must be suitable to AT&T's purposes. If these items are not suitable or AT&T is forced to acquire or provide them, it will result in increased costs that Customer agrees to pay. 8. Customer Obligations. Customer agrees to provide appropriate easements and/or rights of way, as determined by AT&T, to AT&T for its lines and any facilities necessary for the Special Construction work. Further, Customer agrees to provide and place suitable conduit and handholes for AT&T's use in the Special Construction work. Should Customer not provide these items, Customer understands and agrees that it will result in increased costs above the estimate provided, which Customer agrees to pay. 9. Time to Complete. Any representation by AT&T, its contractors, or employees that the project will be complete by a certain date or certain time period is strictly an estimate and not binding. All estimated completion dates are subject to changing conditions in the field, changes in the scope of the work, relocation of existing utilities not within AT&T's control, Acts of God, weather delays, labor disputes, contractor disputes, pandemics and other conditions or circumstances could not reasonably anticipate at the time of the estimate. aw Page 4 of 5 10.
