Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Manager approve Change Order No. 2 for the City of Tamarac's Fiber
Network Expansion (Phase 2) Project, in the amount not to exceed $6,150.00, for proposed scope
modifications and an extension of time not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days for lost time due to
permitting delays caused by Broward County and AT&T's untraceable dielectric fiber lines as
summarized here -in.
Issue:
The approval of Change Order No. 2 for the City of Tamarac's Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2)
Project to document an increase in Unitec, Inc.'s contract value resulting from the added scope
changes to the project (pulling of 48 strand single -mode fiber cable and added 2" conduit raceway for
AT&T services at the Tamarac Sports Complex, Concession Stand 2) and an increase in the contract
time resulting from project delays due to Broward County permitting process and AT&T's untraceable
dielectric fiber lines as outlined below, in accordance with the Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2)
Project requirements.
Background:
As part of the Fiber Network Expansion Project (Phase 2), the following field modifications and added
scope changes to the project were made:
Fiber Network scope changes at the new Tamarac Sports Complex, Concession Stand 2 facility —
As part of the Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 1) project, a 48-strand single -mode, plenum rated
fiber cable was pulled to a nearby hand hole but was unable to be terminated in its intended
location (new Concession Building). At that time, the existing Concession Building was scheduled
to be demolished to make way for the construction of the new Concession Building. As such, the
contractor (Hypower) was released from the final termination work and a credit was issued for the
project.
As the new Concession Building is now built, the need for the fiber cable to be terminated is
warranted. As such, during the progression of the project, it was determined that the existing 48-
strand single -mode, plenum -rated (CommScope) fiber cable (inside fiber vault located east of the
new Concession Building), shall be pulled, and terminated to a new cassette in the existing fiber
patch panel inside the new Concession Building IT Data Closet (2nd floor). This work would best
serve to provide for a direct fiber network connection to the new Sports Complex Concession
Building and allow for fiber connectivity to the Network Operations Center (NOC) and Recreation
Center from the Backbone Fiber Cable (Phase 1).
2. As part of the scope changes, an additional raceway (2" conduit) is required to be provided and
installed from City's fiber vault (hand hole) located east of the new Tamarac Sports Complex,
Concession Stand 2 facility up to AT&T's Terminal located on the south side of the adjacent
building (1-story building, east of new Concession Building) via a stub up. The proposed conduit will
serve as a point-to-point raceway, allowing for AT&T to run the City's required phone services into
the new Tamarac Sports Complex, Concession Stand 2 facility. Based on Unitec's ongoing work
with the City, their availability, and their expertise to perform the work in an expeditious manner, it
was determined to be the most efficient and economical direction to have Unitec perform the
necessary work (short conduit installation).
3. In consideration of lost time due to permitting delays caused by Broward County and delays caused
by AT&T's inability to trace their buried dielectric fiber lines along Commercial Blvd and McNab
Road in a timely manner, an extension of time is required. The delay has negatively affected the
progression of the project (as a whole), impacting the critical path of the project completion
schedule. Accordingly, an adjustment for an extension of time not to exceed ninety (90) calendar
days shall be granted to the contractor for the project's Substantial and Final completion schedule.
The project's Substantial Completion shall be adjusted from two hundred forty (240) calendar days
to three hundred thirty (330) calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP). Final Completion shall
be adjusted from two hundred eighty-five (285) calendar days to three hundred seventy-five (375)
calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP).
Amount of Change Order Total: $6,150.00
Fiscal Impact
This Change Order will increase the original contract amount, in the amount not -to -exceed $6,150.00.
Per Resolution No. R-2021-059, the City Commission approved a contingency in the amount of
$114,607.00 to the project amount, with $106,357.00 available in contingency. Accordingly, the
procurement of the added scope will come from that approved contingency.

Re: Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Project Change Order 3;
Scope Changes to include Dog Park and Tamarac Commons Park
including a Time Extension.
PO No. 240828; Project No. GP22A; ITB No. 21-11 B
Recommendation:
I recommend approval of Change Order 3, for proposed fiber network expansion scope
modifications and an extension of time not to exceed one hundred (100) calendar days for
added work and material procurement as summarized herein, in the amount not.to exceed
$53,095.00, increasing the contract from a total of $1,160,470.00 (which includes Change
Orders 1 and 2) to a total of $1,213,565.00.
Issue:
Approval of Change Order 3 to the contract with Unitec, Inc., for the Fiber Network Expansion
(Phase 2), in an amount not to exceed $53,095.00, for proposed fiber network expansion scope
modifications and an extension of time not to exceed one hundred (100) calendar days for added
work and material procurement as summarized herein.
Background:
Technology is one of the key components in the efficient delivery of City services, and the City's
network infrastructure is critical to ensuring continued operations. The City's network
infrastructure is built around a private, fiber optic, Wide Area Network (WAN), which provides
high-speed network connectivity to City facilities, enabling the City to take advantage of and
utilize cost saving technologies. The Information Technology Department has engineered its
network to use state-of-the-art Cisco switches, routers and firewalls, all connected by the City's
fiber optic network.
Expansion of the City's existing fiber network is a key component of implementing the City's
Security Master Plan in major City facilities, improving public safety and security and to provide
public WiFi access in parks.
Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Change Order 3 1 1 P a g e
Much of the City's existing fiber optic network is "above -ground" on utility poles, and is also
therefore prone to disruption if there is a disaster or storm -related event. For all new fiber
network connections, all cabling has been installed "underground" for resiliency and disaster
preparedness.
Fiber network expansion has been a phased approach. The Fiber Network Expansion (Phase
1) project was approved by City of Tamarac Resolution R-2019-16, on file with the City Clerk's
Office, on January 23, 2019, with a total final cost of $1,569,314.50, and provided a continuous,
underground fiber network backbone from the IT / Public Services Building (Network Operations
Center) to the Recreation Center, and expanded the fiber network to, and within, the following
locations:
• Tamarac Sports Complex
• Veterans Park / Dog Park
• Tephford Park
• Sunset Point Park
• Fire Station 36
• Water's Edge Park
• Grants Plaza Water Storage Facility
• West Stormwater Pump Station
• Central Stormwater Pump Station
Phase 1 was completed in October 2020.
The Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) project was approved by City of Tamarac Resolution
R-2021-059, on file with the City Clerk's Office, on May 26, 2021, with a contract amount of
$1,146,070.00 for the Primary Scope of Work, Option A, Option B and Option C (detailed
below) — including a one (1) year written guarantee for all labor and materials provided by
Unitec, Inc., and a twenty-five (25) year manufacturer's solution system warranty on the
installed products / solution —, and also provided for a 10% contingency of $114,607.00, for
permits and other unforeseen needs, for a total project budget of $1,260,677.00.
Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) will provide fiber network connectivity to, and within,
Mainlands Park and Caporella Park; provide underground, fiber network connectivity from the
Recreation Center to City Hall (Municipal Services Complex) (included as Option A), the Water
Treatment Plant (included as Option B), and the East Stormwater Pump Station (included as
Option C).
On November 15, 2021, the City approved Change Order 1, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, in
the amount of $8,250.00, for additional fiber cabling and fusion splicing necessary to provide a
direct fiber network connection from City Hall and the Water Treatment Plant to the Network
Operations Center (NOC) as well as to provide for a direct fiber network connection for a
secondary Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) Circuit at the Recreation Center to the Network
Operations Center (NOC), paid out of contingency, thereby increasing the contract amount from
$1,146,070.00 to $1,154,320.00, leaving a remaining contingency of $106,357.00. Change
Order 1 also increased Unitec's contract time by forty-five (45) days in consideration of lost time
due to material shortages caused by the pandemic (COVID-19).
Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Change Order 3 2 1 P a g e
On February 7, 2022, the City approved Change Order 2, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, in the
amount of $6,150.00, providing and installing an additional conduit from the City's existing fiber
vault (hand hole) installed as part of the new Tamarac Sports Complex Concession Stand 2,
connecting to the AT&T terminal located nearby at an adjacent building, necessary to provide
telephone service to the new Tamarac Sports Complex Concession Stand 2; and additionally
for the installation of the fiber network cable installed as part of the Fiber Network Expansion
(Phase 1) project within the new Tamarac Sports Complex Concession Stand 2, which
included pulling the fiber into the new building and completion of fiber terminations, paid out of
contingency, thereby increasing the contract amount from $1,154,320.00 to $1,160,470.00,
leaving a remaining contingency of $100,207.00. Change Order 2 also increased Unitec's contract
time by ninety (90) days in consideration of lost time due to permitting delays caused by Broward
County and delays caused by AT&T's inability to trace buried dielectric fiber lines along
Commercial Boulevard and McNab Road.
At present, the Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) project is nearing end with expected
completion in June/July 2022.
As part of the City's Security Master Plan (SMP), security enhancements including video
surveillance cameras are planned for the City's Dog Park as well as for Tamarac Commons
Park in future phases of the SMP. In consideration of these future plans for security
enhancements as well as to provide WiFi in parks, and recognizing the continued rising costs
for said work, it is considered prudent and more cost effective to engage Unitec, Inc. for
completion of the required fiber network connections to the aforementioned locations now
rather than delaying to later phases of the SMP. In addition, a Renovation Project at the City's
Dog Park is currently underway, making for the ideal time to install additional fiber cabling
while the park is already under construction. High voltage lines run overtop the Dog Park, and
past experience has seen challenges gaining approval from FPL to make additions/changes to
the park; therefore, it is ideal to install the additional fiber connections now while construction
work is already approved and underway.
The following proposed fiber network expansion scope modifications, including an extension of
time not to exceed one hundred (100) calendar days for added work and material
procurement, are included in the proposed Change Order 3, attached hereto as Exhibit 3:
As part of the Gary B. Jones Dog Park Renovation Project, four (4) new Security / WiFi Pole
locations and one (1) future location for an Emergency Phone have been identified and will
be furnished and installed as part of that separate Renovation Project. In consideration,
however, of the necessary power and fiber connection requirements for each of these three
(3) locations, Change Order 3 will include installation of a Powered Fiber Cable (PFC), one
(1) two inch (2") conduit and innerduct connecting each location to the existing Restroom
facility near the Dog Park (inside Veterans Park), by the City's fiber contractor (Unitec, Inc.),
as part of the Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Project. The work will also include the
installation of three (3) hand holes to service each corresponding location.
As part of the Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) project, a fiber backbone cable has been
installed connecting the Recreation Center to City Hall. The fiber backbone cable runs from
the Recreation Center, south on University Drive, west along McNab Road and then north on
Pine Island Road to City Hall. Tamarac Commons Park is location at the southwest corner
of McNab Road and Pine Island Road, which is nearby the aforementioned fiber backbone
Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Change Order 3 3 1 P a g e
cable. Given its proximity, Change Order 3 will include installation and fusion splicing of a
twenty-four (24) strand single -mode fiber lateral connection from the nearby backbone cable
to Tamarac Commons Park.
• Also as part of the proposed Change Order 3, the project's Substantial Completion shall
be adjusted from three hundred thirty (330) calendar days to four hundred thirty (430)
calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP). Final Completion shall be adjusted from
three hundred seventy-five (375) calendar days to four hundred seventy-five (475)
calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP).
The total cost for the proposed fiber network expansion scope modifications included in
Change Order 3 is $53,095.00, which will increase the contract from a total of $1,160,470.00
(which includes Change Orders 1 and 2) to a total of $1,213,565.00, leaving a remaining
contingency of $47,112.00.
I recommend approval of Change Order 3, for proposed fiber network expansion scope
modifications and an extension of time not to exceed one hundred (100) calendar days for
added work and material procurement as summarized above, in the amount not to exceed
$53,095.00, increasing the contract from a total of $1,160,470.00 (which includes Change
Orders 1 and 2) to a total of $1,213,565.00.

Issue:
Approval of Change Order No. 4 to the contract with Unitec, Inc., for the Fiber Network Expansion
(Phase 2), in an amount not to exceed $22,480.00, for proposed fiber network expansion scope
modifications and an extension of time not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days for added work
and material procurement as summarized herein.
Background:
As part of the Fiber Network Expansion Phase 2 Project, technology serves as one of the key
components in the efficient delivery of City services with the City's infrastructure serving as a
critical part in ensuring continued operations. The City's network infrastructure, built around a
private fiber optic Wide Area Network (WAN), provides high-speed network connectivity to City
facilities, enabling the City to take advantage of and utilize cost saving technologies to meet the
needs of existing and planned future projects, to best position and prepare the City for the future.
In consideration of these future plans for security enhancements and recognizing the continued
rising costs for said work, it is considered prudent and more cost effective to engage Unitec, Inc.,
for additional services required for fiber network connections.
The following proposed fiber network expansion scope modifications, including an extension of
time not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days for added work and material procurement, are
included in the proposed Change Order No. 4, attached hereto:
Fiber Network Expansion (Phase 2) Change Order 4 1 1 P a g e
During the progression of the project, the City was made aware of FDOT's Road Widening
project along Broward County's Prospect Road, north of Commercial Blvd. The anticipated
work, as scheduled by the FDOT's contractor would negatively affect the previously installed
handholes (2ea) that would serve Caporella Park. As a result of the conflict created through the
FDOT's project, it was determined to have the previously installed handholes (2ea) relocated
outside of the impacted areas.
2. During the progression of the project, it was determined that the installation of a new 12-strand
single -mode fiber cable originating from the City's Fire Station 41 (2nd floor IT Data Closet),
connecting to the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) Tamarac District HQ Exit Gate and by
extension to the Fuel Island would best serve to provide for a direct, future fiber network
connection to the existing Exit Gate and to the Fuel Island. The work shall include the
installation of a dedicated raceway (2-inch conduit) and associated handhole (vault) to service
the existing Exit Gate in anticipation of the next planned phase for the Security Gate Operator
Equipment Replacement Project, as well as to provide for a more reliable network connection to
the already existing camera at the Fuel Island.
3. During the progression of the project, Change order No. 2 was issued to the Unitec, Inc., to pull
into, and terminate, an existing 48-strand single -mode fiber cable inside the new Tamarac
Sports Complex, Concession Stand 2, IT Data Closet that was originally left inside a nearby
handhole as part of the Fiber Network Expansion Phase I Project. In consideration of the
completed work, it was determined that newly terminated fiber connection is required to be
certified to attain a Commscope Twenty -Five (25) Year Warranty for the work. The proposed
work shall include all field verification and testing (OTDR, OLTS, etc.) of terminated fibers for
the project.
The total cost for the proposed fiber network expansion scope modifications included in
Change Order No. 4 is $22,480.00, which will increase the contract from a total of
$1,213,565.00 (which includes Change Orders 1, 2 and 3) to a total of $1,236,045.00, leaving
a remaining contingency of $24,632.00.

Re: Notification of Damage to City of Tamarac's Fiber Optic
McNab Road Fiber Optic Network Improvements Project From Pine Island Road to SR 7
Purchase Order HCN2100088
Master Agreement Contract No. PNC2115695131
Dear Mr. Martinez,
On September 15, 2022, the City of Tamarac notified Broward County via email of damages to their recently
installed fiber optic infrastructure along McNab Road, allegedly as a result of Horsepower Electric, Inc. and it's
subcontractor Florida Sol Systems, Inc. construction work on the above referenced County project. Prior to
installation of the City's new fiber optic infrastructure, the City held a pre -construction meeting with the County
and Horsepower Electric, Inc. on April 20, 2022 for the City of Tamarac Fiber Network Expansion Project
Phase 2 Option A on McNab Rd from Pine Island Road to University Drive(Broward County Permit No. 2021-
329TL — attached for reference) to ensure all parties were aware of the upcoming City project.
Subsequently, during a progress meeting for County's project held on June 22, 2022, Horsepower Electric, Inc.
was reminded by the County of City project as construction activities were being performed by the City along
the north side of McNab Road from Pine Island Road to University Drive. During this progress meeting,
Horsepower Electric, Inc. stated that they would coordinate work with the City of Tamarac. A copy of the
meeting minutes are attached for reference.
According to Contract Documents for County's project "once the Contractor commences construction, it shall
be presumed by the County that any damages or deficiencies identified in the work area during later County
inspections, or identified by other utilities or agencies in the course of their normal maintenance activities, are
attributable to the Contractor, and the Contractor shall be held responsible for the repair(s)". A copy of the
Specifications and Requirements Miscellaneous Traffic and Roadway Construction, Subsection 15.1
Contractor's Responsibilities, Item 15.1.5 is provided for reference. As this damage appears to have been
caused by the work activities of Horsepower Electric, Inc. or it's subcontractor, please coordinate in a timely
manner with the City to remedy the damage.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me to discuss.
Sincerely, ,.}

Good afternoon Dibb,
We are in receipt of your latest communications regarding the damage to the City of Tamarac Fiber
Optic line on McNab Road. As you note, the City discovered certain damage to its fiber optic line
and has alleged that Horsepower should be responsible and thus make the necessary repairs to the
alleged damage. In order to respond to the City's claims, Horsepower needed to investigate and
make a determination as to the true cause of any alleged damaged. Based on Horsepower's
investigation, it is clear that any damage sustained the City's Fiber Optic line is not Horsepower's
responsibility.
Horsepower's assertions are based on the fact that on 7/14/22 Horsepower's subcontractor notified
the City, through the appropriate legal channel and in accordance with Florida Statue Charter 556,
that directional boring will take place on the North side of McNab b/w NW 80 Ave and University Dr.
For your reference, please see attached Sunshine 811 Locate ticket #192206946. In accordance with
the applicable law, the City was required to provide field marking for any all utilities that may be
affected by the subject work. The City of Tamarac received, responded and cleared the
aforementioned excavation locate ticket. Accordingly, upon receipt of clearance by the City of
Tamarac the subject work (directional boring) took place. Unfortunately, the City failed to provide
the required field markings associated with the subject Fiber Optic line and the alleged damage was
sustained within the excavation limits described in the locate ticket. As you are well aware, the
subject work took place after clearance of and within the dates set forth on the locate ticket.
Therefore, any damage caused to the fiber optic line is the result of the City's failure to properly
mark the subject utility line (Fiber Optic) as Horsepower and its subcontractor's followed the
required laws and procedure before excavating. Based on the foregoing, Horsepower is not
responsible for the subject damages.
Finally, we strongly encourage you to retract the City's final statement that any open permits (by
Horsepower Electric) with the City will be placed on hold and that future permits will be denied. As
noted above, Horsepower followed all required procedures, submitted the proper locate ticket and
awaited clearance of same from the City before commencing any work. Accordingly, the damage
sustained is not Horsepower's responsibility and the City's decision to place open permits on hold
and deny any future permits is inappropriate and unfounded. Moreover, such a decision by the city
will have an extreme negative affect the City's residents (including its elected officials) as
Horsepower dedicates its work to constructing, repairing and maintaining vital infrastructure that
serves municipalities and residents, including, but not limited to, the City of Tamarac.
Accordingly, please confirm that the City's latest stance of putting permits on hold and denying
further permits is no longer in place. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Horsepower is and has always
been here to serve the community. Therefore, Horsepower is willing to provide a proposal to the
City for the completion of the necessary repairs to the Fiber Optic line at hand. Please advise on
whether the City is interested in obtaining such a proposal.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thankyou

Subject: RE: Notification of Damage to City of Tamarac Fiber Optic on McNab Road
Good afternoon Mike.
We are going on approximately two weeks since we spoke about our damaged fiber. Where do we
stand on Horsepower Electric's corrective actions to restore our fiber line?
Please note it has been more than 5 weeks since we discovered our damaged fiber, yet the City
continues to be negatively impacted (open permit, prolonged project durations, lack of fiber service,
etc.) by this issue without an estimated timeline and/or proposed repairs to be provided by
Horsepower Electric. These delays are unacceptable to the City of Tamarac, its residents and our
elected officials.
Accordingly, any open permits (by Horsepower Electric) with the City of Tamarac shall be placed on
hold, with the understanding that future permits will be denied until this issue is resolved.
Additionally, if this matter is not resolved immediately, the City will be forced to take additional
steps to have this resolved.
Thank you,
