instructions from the Contractor.
A.13 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. The installation dates set forth in the SDOs will be fixed in such a
manner that the integration of the System is consistent with the
timing and schedules of the Commonwealth's programs. If the Contractor
does not complete Installations within the time limits specified in
the SDOs, the delays will interfere with the proper implementation of
the Commonwealth's System and with coordination between the various
contractors installing the system to the loss and damage of the
Commonwealth. From the nature of the case it would be impractical and
extremely difficult to fix the actual damage sustained in the event of
any such action. The Commonwealth and the Contractor, therefore,
presume that in the event of any such delay the amount of damage
sustained from the delay will be the amount set forth in this
paragraph. They further agree that in the event of any such delay, the
Contractor shall pay such amount as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty; and that such liquidated damages are in lieu of all other
damages arising from such delay. The Commonwealth is not obligated for
payment of liquidated damages under the terms of this Contract.
B. If the Contractor does not meet the Installation Date(s) of the
SDO(s), the Contractor shall pay the Commonwealth, as fixed and agreed
liquidated damages for each calendar day between the required
Installation Date and the actual Installation Date, but not for more
than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days in any instance, in lieu
of all other damages due to such non-installation, an amount of 0.05%
(0.0005) daily of the purchase price including maintenance, but less
the purchase price applicable to installed Components, for each
Subsystem rendered inoperable as a result of such delay in Ready for
Use.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the contractor in meeting scheduled Installation Date for a
Site, a Subsystem, or the System as specified in the SDO shall result
in a loss to the Commonwealth of 0.05% (0.0005) per day of the
purchase price, for a maximum of 180 working days for each subsystem
rendered inoperable as a result of each calendar day delay in
completing the tasks. An extension of time granted by the Commonwealth
shall not be construed as a waiver of liquidated damages unless such
extension shall specifically provide such waiver.
D. If the delays are caused by a subcontractor, and if such delay arises
out of causes beyond the control of both the Contractor and
subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of any of them, the
Contractor shall not be liable for liquidated damages for delays,
unless the Equipment or Services to be furnished by the Contractor or
Subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to
permit the Contractor to meet the required Installation Date.
E. The Commonwealth shall have the option of billing the Contractor or
deducting from any invoice an amount equal to the above as liquidated
damages or waiting for the Contractor's certification so the
Acceptance Testing can begin.
F. If the delay of installation of any Equipment is more than thirty (30)
calendar days, then during that or the subsequent thirty (30) day
period the Contractor may elect to install substitute Equipment,
acceptable to the Commonwealth, of at least equal capabilities (or
greater capabilities at the Contractor's option) and capable of
performing the functions of such Equipment, as specified in the
manufacturer's published specifications for the Equipment and the
Commonwealth's required functions and features. If the Contractor does
not elect to install substitute Equipment during either such period,
then by written notice to the Contractor, the Commonwealth may
terminate the right of the Contractor to install such original or such
substitute Equipment, and may obtain other Equipment in place thereof.
The Commonwealth is not liable for any packing, unpacking, drayage,
rigging, shipping and installation charges for any of the Contractor's
substitute Equipment.
G. If some, but not all, of the System or a Subsystem is Ready For Use by
the required date, and the Commonwealth uses for operational purposes
any such installed Subsystem, liquidated damages shall not accrue
against the Subsystem used.
H. If the delays are caused by the Engineering and Quality Assurance
Contractor, the Site
Development contractor or the Microwave contractor, the delay shall be
handled in the same manner as a delay in Site availability and
liquidated damages shall not apply.
A.14 NEED FOR EQUIPMENT DUE TO EMERGENCY
A. For a period of two (2) years after System Acceptance, the Contractor
shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Commonwealth in procuring
use of Equipment compatible with that used by the Commonwealth to meet
emergencies such as, but not limited to, major breakdowns and
unforeseen incidents.
B. The Commonwealth, at its option, may accept or reject the offer of use
of emergency Equipment. If accepted, the charge for such use, if any,
shall be by separate arrangement between the Commonwealth and the
entity providing the emergency Equipment.
C. Contractor shall make available spare parts and service support for
all equipment supplied under this procurement for a minimum of 10
years from the date of execution of the contract. Contractor agrees to
supply the Commonwealth with written notification of the
discontinuance of production of any Contractor-manufactured hardware
or equipment no later than 1 year prior to discontinuance.
A.15 ALTERATIONS AND INTERCONNECTIONS

B. When such Alterations or Interconnections are made by other than the
Contractor:
i. The Commonwealth shall be responsible for damage to the System
caused by or resulting from such Alterations or Interconnections;
ii. The Contractor shall not be held responsible for any defects or
malfunctions or non-conformance caused by or resulting from such
Alterations or Attachments;
iii. The Commonwealth shall pay the Contractor for any increase in the
cost of effort related to maintenance service for the System,
caused by or resulting from such Alterations or Interconnections;
iv. Such Alterations or Interconnections shall be removed and the
Equipment restored to the prior configuration at the
Commonwealth's expense upon return of the Equipment to the
Contractor; and
v. There shall be no effect on the Contractor under this Contract as
a result of such Alterations or Interconnections, whether for
warranty, time of performance or other purposes.
A.16 TRAINING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES
A. The Contractor shall provide training as specified in Rider D. Any
training or
additional Services over and above that referenced in Rider D shall be
at the Contractor's then standard terms and charges.
B. The Contractor's technical personnel shall be available to assist the
Commonwealth in development and implementation of the System, as
specified in Riders B and D. Any technical Services over and above
that referenced in Riders B and D will be made available to the
Commonwealth at the Contractor's then standard terms and charges.
A.17 ASSIGNED PERSONNEL
A. The Contractor shall provide to the Commonwealth a summary of
technical qualifications for each individual assigned to the
Commonwealth at the Commonwealth's location in support of this
contract. The Commonwealth must approve the selection of these

an equivalent extension of time, its applications for which shall,
however, be subject to the approval of the Commonwealth; and no such
extension of time shall release the Contractor or the surety on its
performance bond from all of Contractor's obligations hereunder which
shall remain in full force until the discharge of the Contract.

A. The Commonwealth and the Contractor understand and agree that the
Contractor will not be responsible for paying or collecting
Pennsylvania sales and use tax, or any similar tax, levy, duty or
charge ("Sales Tax"), with respect to any services or property,
whether tangible or intangible, provided to the Commonwealth by the
Contractor under this Contract. In particular, it is agreed and
acknowledged that all tangible property to be transferred to the
Commonwealth under this Contract will either retain its character as
tangible personal property or will be considered building machinery
and equipment for purposes of the Sales Tax. The Commonwealth shall
provide such exemption certificates as may be required by the
Contractor from time to time to substantiate or qualify for any
applicable exemptions from the Sales Tax.
B. The amounts payable to the Contractor under this Contract have been
determined based upon the assumption that no county, municipality,
city, town or other political subdivision of the Commonwealth will
impose a mercantile license tax, business privilege tax or any other
local tax, duty, levy or similar charge ("Local Tax") on the
Contractor with respect to this Contract or the Contractor's
activities hereunder.
C. If and to the extent that a Sales Tax is imposed on any services or
property transferred by the Contractor to the Commonwealth under this
Contract, or that any Local Tax is imposed on the Contractor with
respect to this Contract or the Contractor's activities hereunder, the
Commonwealth shall reimburse the Contractor, as an additional payment
under the Contract, the amount of any such Sales Tax or Local Tax.
D. The Commonwealth is exempt from all excise taxes imposed by the

diesel fuel, tires, trucks, gas-guzzler emergency vehicles, and sports
fishing equipment. The Commonwealth is also exempt from the
Pennsylvania Sales Tax. The Sales and Use Tax Regulations provide that
exemption certificates are not required for sales made to government
entities and none will be issued. Nothing in this paragraph is meant
to exempt a construction contractor from payment of sales tax or use
tax required to be paid with respect to its purchase or use of
tangible personal property used or transferred in connection with the
performance of its construction contract.

B-5 TOWERS
The tower system is intended to support the two-way voice, data, and microwave
communications equipment for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Statewide Radio
System. The Commonwealth shall define the actual types, heights and locations
based upon the final radio and microwave system designs.
The Commonwealth has developed requirements for towers and has composed a set of
specifications. The RFP defines basic and optional requirements to support the
system implementation of the microwave and radio subsystems. The following
defines these requirements and tasks as provided in the RFP.
TOWER DESIGN
All towers will have basic requirements. These basic requirements are the same
for all towers. An example of a basic requirement is wind loading of 80 mph with
concurrent 1/2-inch radial ice (non-derated). The performance of this
requirement is independent of the size of the tower, material type, or the
foundation design.
In addition to basic requirements, there will also be variable requirements. As
tower sizes increase these variable requirements may require more material,
increase in capacity, or replace a specific item to provide required
performance. An example of a variable requirement is the use of different tower
members to support different antenna loads. The tower members need to be
stronger in order to support greater antenna loads.
There will also be variable features that can be applied to any tower as
required on a site by site basis. These variable features shall be in addition
to the basic requirements of any tower. In some specific circumstances, an
optional feature may altogether replace a basic requirement. This is noted in
the RFP. An example of a variable feature is the type of tower lighting. Some
tower locations may require different lighting systems due to FAA regulations or
local zoning. This will be determined during the microwave and radio systems
procurements.
TOWER PERFORMANCE
The following list defines the functionally and requirements as needed to
develop and implement the Statewide Radio System. The Commonwealth will define
the towers to the Tower Contractor based on the following criteria.
The following general requirements and tasks apply to all towers per the RFP.
