Documentation
All work done using this Agreement shall be quoted to include all documentation. The County maintains
documentation of its fiber optics network using, as-built plans, and Visio fiber optics diagrams. The Contractor
shall be required to submit all fiber network updates and changes to the County within (10) business days of
project completion. Contractors will be responsible for including the cost(in their line-item pricing)of providing
documentation for third party as-built plans converted to Visio Fiber Optics Diagrams formats for the County's
use. Any requests for existing infrastructure documentation (such as Visio, Google Earth or GIS Map), which
had never been documented will incur costs at the EXHIBIT B FEE SCHEDULE rates. The County shares fiber
optics network resources between two distinct networks the Collier County Traffic Operations (CCTO) and the
Collier County Information Technology (CCIT). Maintaining clearly defined, as-built plans, fiber optics
diagrams,and GIS location information is paramount for maintenance of the fiber optics network. All work is to
be documented and presented to the representative of the County department requesting the fiber optics work and
to CCTO. Any projects that involve splicing onto another departments fiber optics network requires said

Contractor of the need for immediate repair and issue a Purchase Order to the Contractor. If the Contractor is
unable to mobilize to the repair location within two hours of first contact,the Contractor shall notify the relevant
County project manager immediately, so an alternate Contractor can be contacted for the repair. The alternate
Contractor will also be responsible to respond and be onsite within two (2) hours from notification, and repairs
undertaken and completed in a timely fashion, as requested by the County's representative.
The need for urgent fiber optics repairs is unpredictable by nature. Since it is often critical to restore fiber optics
communication quickly,an urgent flat rate fee may be assessed with this service. Note that only an urgent repair
request may be invoiced at a flat rate fee above standard bid prices; all other bid prices shall remain in effect
regardless of the type of work order issued.
