111(31EN CONFIDENTIAL February 23, 2010 Mr. Terrance Heiser Network Manager City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Re: BTOP Round 2 Comprehensive Co unity Infrastructure Project Dear Terre, American Fiber Systems, Inc. (AFS) is pleased to present you with the following summary of the ARRAiNTIA/BTOP Comprehensive Community Infrastructure (CCI) for providing connectivity to the facilities of the identified communities in Ramsey County and the southern portion of Anoka County. The Round 2 application route that AFS is proposing is designed to provide multiple ring architectures for all the identified buildings plus it incorporates the INET route while providing ring architecture for the INET route end points. All of the Anchor Institution buildings provided by you will be connected to the main backbone with fiber including penetration into the building with a fiber panel. The only exception to the laterals for the buildings connected is the buildings that are on the INET route which are already on-net through INET or the two occurrences where the communities have connected' their libraries and public safety facilities. AFS will provide three pair of dark fibers to each community plus configure them to the meet the community requirements and also provide an additional three pairs on the entire route for connectivity to meet the needs of INET and the communities. Additionally. AFS will provide three pair of fibers that will be connected to the project route along our existing AFS network spanning Minneapolis and St. Paul. AFS proposes that these dark fiber strands be contractually provided under a no charge IRU, except for maintenance, for an initial term of 30 years with an option for an additional 30 year term. To meet the needs of the BP/CCI application, AFS is considering adding buildings that would connect Community Colleges and possibly the awarded University of Minnesota Public Computing Center (PCC) grant from Round 1. The estimated total project costs for this route is $8,068.680 excluding any additions for Community Colleges or the University of Minnesota PCC facilities. If there is a need to connect a few county or other facilities, AFS is willing to include them in the current estimated total project cost. AFS will solely provide all necessary matching funds to meet the needs of the BTOP/CCI application requirements. American Fiber Systems, Inc. 100 Meridian Centre, Suite 300, Rochester.
