PART TWO Lease Provisions
1. PREMISES
A. Lessor leases to the ACFD, and the ACFD leases from Lessor, the Real Property described in Section 3 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions and delineated in Exhibit A (the “Premises”). Lessor shall construct the Premises as provided in Exhibits A and B (the “Premises” and “Work Letter" respectively), which exhibits set forth the obligations of Lessor and the ACFD to perform work and to supply materials in connection with the construction of the Premises. The ACFD shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year.
B. During the Lease Term, the ACFD, without additional charge unless otherwise expressly provided herein, is entitled to all of the rights and appurtenances set forth in this Lease, including without limitation: (i) the exclusive rights of ingress and egress at all times to and from the Premises by an entrance to the Building exclusively dedicated to the ACFD for the use of the ACFD and the ACFD’s contractors, agents, employees, invitees, clients and other persons transacting business with the ACFD; (ii) the reasonable non-exclusive right to use other Building entrances, lobbies, corridors, hallways, driveways, foot-ways, passage-ways, elevators, fire escapes, stairs, restrooms, auditoriums, meeting rooms, trash rooms, loading docks and other public or common facilities in or about the Building; (iii) the right to retain and use existing access to and from the Premises through hallways, corridors, stairs, elevators and fire escapes whether from reception rooms or by private office doors.
2. TERM
The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective between Lessor and the ACFD as of the Lease Execution Date described in Section 1 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions. The Lease Term shall be for the period stated in Section 4.A. of the Fundamental Lease Provisions commencing on the Commencement Date as provided in Section 4.B. of the Fundamental Lease Provisions and confirmed by Exhibit C and expiring on the Expiration Date, subject to renewal, extension or termination rights as hereinafter set forth.
3. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
A. Prior to the commencement of the Term, Lessor shall construct the improvements to the Premises as detailed on Exhibits A and B at Lessor’s sole cost and expense (“Lessor’s Work”). The Premises shall be delivered as specified in Exhibit B. Lessor shall build out the Premises as approved by the ACFD specifications even if some details are not exactly listed in Exhibits A or B, but are logical and capable of being discussed with the ACFD for clarification. As an example, if Exhibit A contains a new conference room, indicates that Lessor shall construct walls and a door, it is understood that this tenant improvement shall include paint and carpeting. Any notation for a telephone or electrical outlet assumes the conduit and power necessary for such function.
8
B. Occupancy of the Premises by the ACFD shall not relieve Lessor in any respect from full compliance at all times with Exhibits A and B. It is further understood and agreed that any installation not in conformity with Exhibits A and B shall be immediately corrected by Lessor at Lessor's sole cost and expense. In the event Lessor shall, after notice in writing from theACFD requiring Lessor to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.B. in regard to a specified condition, fail, refuse or neglect to remedy such condition, the ACFD may terminate this Lease without further obligation, or as to such specified condition, at its option and in addition to any other remedy the ACFD may have, withhold Rent due and bring the Premises into conformity with Exhibits A and B at its own cost, including the ACFD’s administrative costs, if any, plus a penalty charge of fifteen (15) percent of costs incurred by the ACFD, and deduct the amount thereof from the Rent that may then be or thereafter become due hereunder.
C. In addition to any painting completed prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease Term, and touch-up painting required after initial occupancy upon receipt of written request from the ACFD, Lessor agrees at Lessor's sole cost and expense to repaint all painted interior surfaces of the Premises in accordance with the attached Exhibits A and B. In no event shall Lessor be required to repaint more than once during the first sixty (60) month period of this Lease after the painting completed prior to the Commencement Date, nor more than once during any succeeding sixty (60) month period. Lessor shall, within forty-five (45) days from the receiving of any such notice, arrange for and complete the painting. Colors are to be approved by the ACFD. Lessor, at Lessor's sole cost, shall arrange for moving of furniture and equipment prior to and subsequent to the repainting, and provide drop cloths, and covers as necessary. With respect to the special uses of the ACFD operation at the Premises, including but not limited to essential services and 24/7/365 hours of operation, Lessor shall develop a mutually acceptable plan for the movement of furniture, painting, installation of new carpet and other tenant improvements so as not to interfere with the ACFD's operations. Lessor expressly acknowledges that the unusual characteristics of the ACFD’s business and services means that tenant improvement services during the term of the lease may prohibit the use of certain tools, equipment, paints, adhesives, and may limit the times during which services can be performed, or the duration of time in which the Lessors contractors are able to work. In no respect, however, shall ACFD’s approval for said services be unreasonably withheld.
4. CONFIRMATION OF TERM
Within fifteen (15) days after the determination of the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Term, Lessor and the ACFD shall execute a memorandum setting forth such dates, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, which memorandum shall thereupon be deemed attached hereto and made a part of this Lease. The failure of the parties to execute such memorandum shall not affect their obligations under this Lease.
5. RENT
A. The ACFD shall pay Full Service Monthly Rent as set forth in Section 5 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions (“Monthly Rent”) commencing with the second month (30
9
days) following the Commencement Date, as determined pursuant to Exhibit C. The ACFD shall pay the Monthly Rent in arrears for each calendar month during which the ACFD has had possession of the Premises as provided in this Lease. The term “in arrears” shall be construed to mean Monthly Rent will be paid no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month subsequent to the month for which rent is due. If the Commencement Date or the date of expiration of the Term of this Lease occurs on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the Monthly Rent shall be prorated as the number of Lease days in the month bears to the total number of days in the month. The term “Rent” and “Rental” as used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean Monthly Rental. B. Monthly Rent includes:
(i) All labor, materials, equipment, design fees, professional fees, permit fees and activities, inspection fees, construction costs and services and all other similar costs and expenses related thereto or necessitated thereby in association with making and constructing the Premises, Building, common areas, parking area, garage and/or lot and related facilities ready for occupancy in accordance with the requirements of this Lease and the ACFD improvements described in Exhibit A and B.

Where use of potable water is not necessary, the ACFD acknowledges and consents to the Lessor’s collection, treatment and reuse of condensate water, rainwater, and graywater for use as flushing water in washrooms and in other applications within and around the Building. In accordance with the provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, the water from the Buildings potable water system shall be tested annually in accordance with EPA guidelines to assure that the levels of lead and copper do not exceed the permissible levels established by EPA. The protocol for sampling
16
and testing provide in EPA publication: Lead in Drinking Water, EPA 570/9-89-001, January 1989, and guidelines provided in EPA CD-ROM entitled: SHEMD Disk #1, Release 6, September 1997, as amended shall be followed in conducting and testing.

All non-office areas, such as the maintenance shop portion of the Vehicle Maintenance and Equipment Facility and the Warehouse, are exempt from this requirement. The HVAC system for all non-office areas shall be designed and built for the appropriate uses of these spaces, notwithstanding other provisions.
E. Lessor shall provide prompt repair or correction for any damage or injury to the Premises caused by the acts or omissions of Lessor or its employees or agents and/or caused by Lessor’s breach of its obligations under the Lease. Lessor expressly acknowledges that the unique nature of the ACFD’s operations in the Premises may require repair or correction outside of normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, if such malfunction directly impacts the ACFD’s ability to conduct its operations and services.
F. The ACFD shall repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused by the acts or omissions of the ACFD or its employees or agents and/or caused by the ACFD’s breach of its obligations under this Lease.
17
G. Except in emergency situations, Lessor shall give not less than twenty (20) business days prior written notice (including phone numbers and a contact to call with any questions or concerns) to the ACFD, in the event of any pest control, painting, remodeling, renovation, repair, carpet installation or other work (“Non-Emergency Work”) affecting the Premises or common areas of the Building or Property, including without limitation any Non-Emergency Work that generates dust, fumes, mists, vapors, gases or other odors. However, the ACFD shall have the right to waive such notice if, in its sole discretion, it determines that there is a need for the planned work to proceed more rapidly. Lessor shall provide to the ACFD at the time of the prior written notice, copies of all Material Safety Data Sheets ("MSDS") for all materials to be used in the Non-Emergency Work. Lessor shall ensure the affected areas are properly ventilated and the proper signs, barriers or work area notices are properly installed. If the work to be performed involves the release of dust, fumes, gases, or any other toxic compounds or irritants, the area in which work is to take place shall be contained so as not to interfere with the business and operations of the ACFD. In case of emergency situation requiring immediate attention, Lessor shall attempt to reach the ACFD's authorized representative by phone, mobile phone, email or such other method to advise the ACFD of the action to be taken and to respond to the emergency as appropriate for the situation, shall timely notify the ACFD of such emergency situation and after the appropriate response to the situation, have available copies of all MSDS for all materials used. As the Premises are a 24/7/365 operation, the ACFD shall provide a list of contacts for non-emergency and emergency situations.
H. Lessor shall maintain the Building and Premises at all times in conformity with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") – Building Access and all later enacted amendments thereof and shall be responsible for all repairs, alterations and/or maintenance of the Building and Premises under such laws. Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ACFD, its officers, agents and employees from all claims, liability, damages, or penalties (including costs of investigation and attorneys fees and costs) arising out of Lessor’s failure, or alleged failure, to meet its obligations as described herein this Section 11.H.
12. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS DURING THE TERM
A. The ACFD shall have the right to furnish and install such voice and data cabling, counters, shelves, signs, furniture, fixtures or other necessary equipment, erect additions or modify the space (“Alterations and Improvements”) to fulfill the stated use of the Premises by the ACFD, as in the judgment of the ACFD may be appropriate, and all such Alterations and Improvements that may be required by the ACFD shall be done at the cost, charge, and expense of the ACFD and shall comply with all applicable codes and regulations. All such Alterations and Improvements placed therein by the ACFD shall remain the property of the ACFD and may be removed by the ACFD at ACFD’s sole discretion upon the expiration of this Lease or any extension thereof or any sooner termination thereof, at the sole discretion of the ACFD.
18
B. The ACFD shall have the right to install, or to cause a carrier, vendor or other operator selected by the ACFD to install wire, cable, conduit, antenna, satellite dish or other facility or equipment for use in connection with any telephone, two-way radio, television, telecommunications, computer, internet or other equipment (which systems, services and equipment are referred to collectively as “Telecommunications Equipment”) in, on, or about the Premises, the Building and its roof and the Property. In the event the ACFD installs Telecommunications Equipment, the ACFD shall do so at its sole cost and expense and the ACFD shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, any and all permits, authorizations and certificates from all governmental agencies, including without limitation such zoning variances or changes as may be required with respect to such Telecommunications Equipment (provided, however, that Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate with the ACFD to obtain the authorizations if required by applicable governmental agencies). The ACFD’s right to install Telecommunications Equipment is subject to the following: (i) The installation shall be performed by a licensed contractor who is
experienced in the installation of such equipment; and (ii) The ACFD shall be responsible for all costs of repairs and improvements (iii) Lessor at its cost and expense shall undertake any and all patching or
strengthening of the roof of the Building, which may be necessary on account of, or be necessary for, the installation of the Telecommunications Equipment.
Lessor shall not require that all Telecommunications Equipment be provided by one or more designated carriers, vendors, or operators. The ACFD has the right in its sole discretion to select the vendor(s), carrier(s), vendor(s) or other operator(s) for the installation, maintenance, operation, alteration, repair or replacement of Telecommunications Equipment and to require that the work be coordinated as reasonably necessary for the orderly and efficient management and operation of the Building.
In the event the ACFD desires Alterations and Improvements or Telecommunications Equipment and the ACFD elects not to perform the work, any such work, when authorized in writing by the ACFD shall be performed by Lessor in accordance with plans and specifications provided by the ACFD. Lessor agrees to obtain competitive bids from at least three licensed contractors approved by the ACFD and contract with the lowest bidder meeting the specifications and the ACFD’s approval. Lessor further agrees that the overhead and profit for the work shall not exceed twelve percent (12%) total for Lessor and any general contractor combined. Within thirty (30) days after receiving Lessor’s notice of completion of the requested work and an invoice requesting payment, together with a complete detailed accounting of and receipts for all costs for each trade, the ACFD agrees to either reimburse Lessor by a single total payment for the cost of such work or, with Lessor’s prior written approval, the ACFD shall amortize the cost of the requested work over the remaining Lease Term by increasing the monthly Rent by an amount to include the principal and interest on the unpaid balance. The interest rate may not exceed the prime rate (the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the nation's thirty (30) largest banks) plus two percent (2%) as of the date of the ACFD’s written authorization to proceed. In the event of an early termination of the Lease prior to
19
the expiration of the Term, the ACFD agrees to pay Lessor the portion of the principal balance which is unamortized as of the effective date of the termination. Such payment shall be a single payment to be made within forty-five days (45) after the effective date of termination.
13. FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE
The covenant to pay Rent and the covenant to provide any service, supply, utility, maintenance or repair required under this Lease are interdependent. In the event of any failure by Lessor to provide any service, supply, utility, maintenance, repair or replacements required under this Lease which in any manner affects the ACFD’s use, enjoyment and occupancy of the Premises, the ACFD shall provide Lessor with a written notice specifying the nature of the failure. The notice shall specify a reasonable time frame for Lessor to remedy the failure. However, if the failure persists past the time allowed within the written notice, or if Lessor refuses, fails or neglects to comply with such notice, or in the event of an emergency constituting a hazard to the health or safety hazard, the ACFD may by contract or otherwise perform the required work or service at its own cost and in addition to any other remedy the ACFD may have, deduct from any payment or payments under this Lease, then or thereafter due, the resulting cost to the ACFD, including the ACFD's administrative costs, if any. If the ACFD elects to perform any such requirement, the ACFD and each of its contractors shall be entitled to access to any and all areas of the Building, access to which is necessary to perform any such requirement, and Lessor shall afford and facilitate such access. Alternatively, the ACFD may deduct from any payments under this Lease, then or thereafter due, an amount that reflects the reduced value of the contract requirement not performed. No deduction from Rent pursuant to this Section 13 shall constitute a default by the ACFD under this Lease. In each such event of failure as specified in the ACFD’s written notice to Lessor, if the ACFD elects to proceed with the remedies of a deduction from Rent or any other payments due under this Lease, as provided in this Section 13, such single failure shall not constitute a default by Lessor under Section 23.A., but failures of similar nature which occur more than once may constitute a default under Section 23.A. even if the ACFD has proceeded to perform the required work or service or made the deductions permitted by this Section 13. These remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to any other remedies, which may be available under this Lease or at law.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING The ACFD shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein and shall not sublet the
Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person (the agents, servants, business visitors, and other municipal, community-based and/or governmental organizations working with ACFD excepted) to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor; and a consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by another person. Any such assignment or subletting without such prior written consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease. Lessor shall not unreasonably deny or delay the ACFD's request to sublet all or a portion of the Premises or assign this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor acknowledges that the ACFD may, at any
20
time and from time to time, substitute any of the ACFD's agency or agencies for the ACFD agency or agencies, for the actual agency that occupies the Premises under this Lease, and that which substitution of the ACFD agency or agencies shall not be construed as an assignment or subletting, and shall not require Lessor’s consent, but each agency or such agencies shall be bound by the terms of this Lease.
15. HOLD OVER The ACFD shall have the right to hold over the Premises. If the ACFD holds over the
Premises after this Lease has terminated in any manner, such holding over shall be deemed merely a tenancy from month-to-month and at the Rent for the last month of the Term or extension thereof (“Holdover Rent”), but otherwise on the same terms and conditions as herein provided. If the last Rent amount referenced in Section 5 (or Section 6 if the Term was extended) included the amortization of a capital sum expended by Lessor for certain of the ACFD improvements, as described in Section 12, and the capital sum has been fully amortized, the holdover Rent shall be reduced by the amount of the monthly amortization.
16. ENTRY Lessor, or its duly authorized representatives or agents, may enter upon the Premises upon
five (5) business days written notice during the Lease Term for the purpose of determining whether the ACFD is complying with the terms and conditions hereof, or for any other purpose incidental to the rights of the Lessor. In case of emergency only may Lessor or its agents enter Premises without prior consent from the ACFD so long as it contacts a representative of the ACFD on the Premises, which the ACFD shall occupy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Lessor may not enter room(s) in the Premises designated by the ACFD as confidential or of critical emergency response operations, such as dispatch, data center, EOC or DOC. The ACFD shall have a separate key to those designated confidential room(s), and shall not be required to provide Lessor a copy of such key until the Lease terminates.
17. INDEMNITY
A. The ACFD hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all damages, loss claim, cause of action, liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and costs) to the extent such arise out of the ACFD’s negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the ACFD or its employees, subcontractors or agents, occurring in connection with this Lease.
B. Lessor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless the ACFD, its officers, employees and agents from and against any and all damage, loss, claim, cause of action, liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and costs) to the extent such arise out of the negligent acts, omissions or willful misconduct of Lessor or its employees, subcontractors or agents, occurring in connection with this Lease.
18. INSURANCE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
A. Lessor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance and Workers’ Compensation insurance in accordance with Exhibit E.
21
B. Lessor shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the Lease Term, fire and normal extended coverage insurance for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Premises and the ACFD improvements. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Premises required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered cause of loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Such policy or policies shall contain agreed valuation provision(s) (in lieu of any coinsurance clause), waiver of subrogation and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor reflecting local cost changes for reconstruction of Premises.
Both parties agree to waive any claim against the other for losses to the extent paid under the insurance and the insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation. If Lessor's insurance covers more than one property, Lessor shall provide the ACFD with a letter from Lessor's insurance broker/carrier setting forth the coverage of the Building and Property. Lessor shall provide the ACFD with a Certificate of Insurance covering the insurance, which shall provide the ACFD with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or reduction in the amount of coverage, and mail said certificate to the ACFD.
19. SELF-INSURANCE BY ACFD For the Lease Term , the ACFD shall self-insure or maintain, at its own expense,
comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single and aggregate limits for both bodily injury and property damage, personal injury, completed operations and products liability. The ACFD insures the ACFD's personal property located on or in the Premises.
20. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE
A. If the entire Premises or Building are destroyed by fire or other casualty and repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days, this Lease shall immediately terminate. “Casualty” shall include without limitation damage caused by fire, flood, inclement weather, acts of God, war, terrorism or bioterrorism or any other means outside the reasonable control of the parties.
B. In case of partial destruction or damage to the Building, so as to render the Premises untenantable or affecting the occupancy, use and quiet enjoyment of the Premises as determined by the ACFD and repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days, the ACFD may terminate the Lease by giving written notice to the Lessor within fifteen (15) calendar days of the fire or other casualty; if so terminated, no Rent shall accrue to Lessor after such partial destruction or damage; and if not so terminated, the Rent shall be reduced proportionately by supplemental agreement hereto effective from the date of such partial destruction or damage.
C. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as relieving Lessor from liability for damage to or destruction of ACFD property caused by the willful or negligent act or omission of Lessor.
22
D. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, if such damage or destruction occurs within the last year of the Lease, and if repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days, or, no matter when such damage or destruction occurs, if such damage or destruction renders the ACFD's Premises untenantable, the Lease shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have liability to the other party. If the ACFD Premises are not rendered untenantable, then the Lease shall remain in full force and effect provided that Lessor can reasonably perform obligations pursuant thereto.
21. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE
A. The obligations of the ACFD to perform all of its covenants and agreements under this Lease shall be excused in the event that there shall be an interruption, curtailment or suspension of the Building’s or Premise’s HVAC, utility, sanitary, elevator, water, telecommunications, security (including without limitation equipment, devices and personnel), uninterrupted power or other building systems serving the Building and Premises or any other services required of Lessor under this Lease (an “Interruption of Service”), by reason of: (i) force majeure (ii) any Casualty as defined in Section 20 above;
(iii) any accident; (iv) an emergency;
(v) shortages of labor or materials; or (vi) any other causes of any kind whatsoever that are beyond the reasonable
control of the ACFD, including without limitation: (1) Lack of access to the Premises, including without limitation the lack
of access to the Building or the Premises when it is or they are structurally sound, but inaccessible due to evacuation of the surrounding area or damage to nearby structures or public areas;
(2) Any cause outside the Building; (3) Reduced air quality or other contaminants within the Premises that
would adversely affect the Building or its occupants, including without limitation the presence of biological or other airborne agents within the Premises and/or surrounding area;
(4) Disruption of mail and deliveries to the Building or Premises resulting from a Casualty;
(5) Disruption of electrical power and/or essential services; (6) Disruption of telephone and telecommunications services to the
building or Premises resulting from a Casualty; (7) Blockages of any windows, doors, or access to the Building or
Premises resulting from a Casualty. (8) Or any other cause that prevents ACFD from beneficial use of the
Building or Premises. B. The ACFD shall be entitled to abatement of Rent for the duration of an occurrence
of an Interruption of Service. In the event the period of Interruption of Service exceeds thirty (30) days, such Interruption of Service shall be grounds upon which the ACFD may exercise its right to terminate this Lease.
23
22. MUTUALITY OF OBLIGATION The obligations and covenants of Lessor, and the ACFD's obligation to pay Rent and other
ACFD obligations and covenants, arising under or related to this Lease, are interdependent. The ACFD may, upon its issuance of and delivery to Lessor of a final decision asserting a claim against Lessor, set off such claim, in whole or in part, as against any payment or payments then or thereafter due Lessor under this Lease. No setoff pursuant to this Section 22 shall constitute a breach by the ACFD of this Lease.
23. LESSOR DEFAULT: ACFD’S REMEDIES
A. Each of the following shall constitute a default by Lessor under this Lease: (i) Subject to Section 11 and Section 21, Lessor’s failure to maintain, repair,
operate or service the Premises as and when specified in this Lease, or failure to perform any other requirement of this Lease as and when required to be provided and such failure shall remain uncured for a period of thirty (30) days next following Lessor’s receipt of notice thereof from the ACFD-authorized representative.
(ii) More than one unexcused failure by Lessor to comply with one or more requirements of this Lease shall constitute a default, notwithstanding that one or all such failures shall have been timely cured pursuant to this Section 23.
B. If a default, occurs, the ACFD may, by notice to Lessor, proceed with either of the following remedies: (i) Terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective when received
by Lessor, and pursue any other remedy the ACFD has in law and in equity.
(ii) In addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, to (a) commence suit against Lessor to compel Lessor’s performance and to recover damages suffered by ACFD, and/or (b) cure such default itself, and offset from Rent the costs thereof, together with interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum.
24. HEADINGS The headings used in this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon
the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. 25. SEVERABILITY If any term or provision of the Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of the Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
26. NON-DISCRIMINATION Lessor agrees that no person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, age, handicapping condition or sexual preference be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity carried out in whole or in part within the Property. Lessor shall not, on

the Property. C. Restrict in any way the enjoyment of any advantage or privilege enjoyed by others
receiving services or benefits within the Property.
27. NO WAIVER No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this
Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent or other performance by either party during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach of such provision.
28. CONDEMNATION If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Property be condemned and taken by
any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the ACFD shall be awarded a sum attributable to the present value at the date of the taking of any excess of the market rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term and any relocation costs. If the whole of the Premises shall be so condemned and taken, through no fault of the ACFD, then this Lease shall terminate. If a part only of the Premises, Building or Property is condemned and taken and the remaining portion thereof is not suitable for the purposes of which the ACFD had leased the Premises, the ACFD shall have the right to terminate this Lease. If by such condemnation and taking a part only of the Premises, Building, or Property is taken, and the remaining part thereof is suitable for the purposes for which the ACFD has leased the Premises, this Lease shall continue, but the Rent shall be reduced in an amount proportionate to the value of the portion taken as it related to the total value of the Premises, Building or Property to the ACFD’s operations.
29. RECORDATION AND FILING The ACFD shall, at its sole option and judgment, record and file, or cause to be recorded
and filed, at the ACFD's sole cost and expense, a memorandum of this Lease or this entire Lease in the Official Records of Alameda County, California. The ACFD shall, upon termination of the Lease, cause to be removed any recordation of this Lease caused by the ACFD.
30. THE ACFD DEFAULT Subject to Section 13 (Failure in Performance), Section 21 (Interruption of Service) and
Section 22 (Mutuality of Obligation), the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material breach of this Lease by the ACFD and an event of default: A. A failure by the ACFD to pay the Rent where such failure continues for thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice by Lessor to the ACFD; B. A failure by the ACFD to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to
be observed or performed by the ACFD, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessor to the ACFD.
25
31. THE ACFD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT If the nature of such default in Section 30 is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, the ACFD shall not be deemed to be in default so long as the ACFD shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter prosecutes the same with use of best efforts to completion.
32. LESSOR REMEDIES UPON THE ACFD DEFAULT Lessor and the ACFD agree as follows upon Lessor's remedies for any default by the
ACFD: In the event of any material breach by the ACFD which remains uncured after sixty (60) days written notice from Lessor and expiration of any and all cure periods, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of the ACFD under this Lease by giving one-hundred-and-eighty (180) days written notice to the ACFD of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor elects to so terminate this Lease, then Lessor may recover from the ACFD: A. the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time
of such termination; plus B. the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would
have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss the ACFD proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
C. the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the ACFD proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
D. any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the ACFD's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.
33. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE THE ACFD DEFAULT All covenants and agreements to be performed by the ACFD under any of the terms of this
Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense. If the ACFD fails to pay any sum of money required to be paid by it hereunder, subject to Section 13 (Failure in Performance), Section 21 (Interruption of Service) and Section 22 (Mutuality of Obligation), or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease and such failure becomes an event of default as provided herein, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or releasing the ACFD from any such obligation, make such payment or perform any such other act on the ACFD's part to be made or performed as provided herein. All sums so paid by Lessor and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed Rent hereunder and shall be payable to Lessor upon Lessor’s written demand.
34. SALE OF BUILDING Lessor shall not sell the Building and shall not assign the Lease prior to Substantial
Completion as defined in Exhibit B (“Work Letter”). In the event of a sale of the Building and/or Real Property or an assignment of this Lease by Lessor after Substantial Completion as defined in Exhibit B (“Work Letter”), Lessor shall be released from any liability thereafter occurring under this Lease provided the assignee and/or transferee assumes in writing all of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease. However, Lessor must obtain
26
permission in writing for the sale from ACFD. ACFD shall not unreasonably withhold or delay permission for such a sale.
35. SURVIVAL The ACFD's and Lessor's obligations shall survive the termination of this Lease. This
Section 35 is intended to supplement and not to limit other provisions of this Lease pertaining to indemnities and attorneys fees.
36. SUCCESSORS BOUND

to the destruction of the Premises. 38. MORTGAGE PROTECTION The ACFD agrees to give any mortgagees and/or trust deed holders, by certified mail -
return receipt U.S. Mail, a copy of any Notice of Default served upon Lessor by the ACFD, provided that prior to such notice the ACFD has been requested in writing by Lessor to provide such notice. The ACFD further agrees that if Lessor shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default but in no event shall the time period afforded such recipients to cure Lessor’s default be greater than thirty (30) days longer than the time period afforded Lessor.
39. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS
A. Lessor may assign its rights to be paid and amounts due or to become due as a result of the performance of this Lease to a bank trust company or other financing institution, including any federal lending agency. The assignee under such an assignment may thereafter further assign or reassign its right under the original assignment to any type of financing institution described in the preceding sentence.
B. Any assignment or reassignment authorized under this Section 39 shall cover all unpaid amounts payable under this Lease and shall not be made to more than one party, except that an assignment or reassignment may be made to one party as agent or trustee for two or more parties participating in the financing of this Lease.
40. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY AS TO STATE OF TITLE; FUTURE
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT A. Lessor warrants and represents to the ACFD that there is no recorded and/or

8.1 Recycling construction waste is mandatory. Recycling construction waste means providing all necessary services to furnish construction materials or wastes to organizations that will reuse, employ these materials or wastes in the production of new materials, or as appropriate for the conversion of waste into energy. Recycling includes required labor and equipment necessary to separate individual materials from the assemblies of which they form a part. 8.2 Prior to construction commencement, the Contractor must submit to the Lessor a construction waste management plan following industry standards to recycle construction waste (Construction Waste Management Plan). The Construction Waste Management Plan shall quantify material diversion goals and maximize the materials to be recycled and/or salvaged (at least 50 percent) from construction, demolition, and packaging debris. Where the small quantity of material, the extraordinarily complex nature of the waste disposal method, or prohibitive expense for recycling would represent a genuine hardship, the Lessor, upon written request of the Contractor, may permit alternative means of disposal. 8.3 Contractor must recycle the following items during both the demolition and construction phases of the project, subject to economic evaluation and feasibility:
• Ceiling grid and tile; • Light fixtures, including proper disposal of any transformers, ballasts, and fluorescent
light bulbs; • Duct work and HVAC equipment; • Wiring and electrical equipment; • Aluminum and/or steel doors and frames; • Hardware; • Drywall; • Steel studs; • Carpet, carpet backing, and carpet padding; • Wood; • Insulation; • Cardboard packaging; • Pallets; • Windows and glazing materials; • All miscellaneous metals (as in steel support frames for filing equipment); and

44
and products with potential for harmful chemical emissions. Materials that the Contractors my use frequently, or in large quantities will receive the greatest amount of review. 9.4 All MSDS shall comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. The Contractor and its employees, officers, agents and all Subcontractors must comply with all recommended measures in the MSDS to protect the health and safety of personnel.
9.5 To the greatest extent possible, the Contractor must sequence the installation of finish materials so that materials that are high emitters of volatile organic compounds (VOC) are installed and allowed to cure before installing interior finish materials, especially soft materials that are woven, fibrous, or porous in nature, that may adsorb contaminants and release them over time. 9.6 Where demolition or construction work occurs adjacent to occupied space, the Contractor must erect appropriate barriers (noise, dust, odor, etc.) and take necessary steps to minimize interference with the occupants. This includes maintaining acceptable temperature, humidity, and ventilation in the occupied areas during window removal, window replacement, or similar types of work. 9.7 During construction, the Contractor must meet or exceed the recommended design approaches of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning National Contractors Association (SMACNA) IAQ Guideline for Occupied Buildings Under Construction, 1995, Chapter 3. 9.8 Contractor must protect any absorptive materials that are installed or stored onsite from moisture damage. 9.9 If air handlers are used during construction, the Contractor must provide filtration media with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 8 at each return air grill, as determined by the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers) 52.2-1999 standard.

1. Introduction This document is intended to provide a guideline for uniform voice and data design across County of Alameda buildings (owned and leased), one that will ease maintenance and simplify the integration of new technologies. A structured cabling system is one whose parts are matched and designed to work together; thus, according to these Specifications, installed systems will: be of a certain cable type, have a restricted topology, use defined outlets and connections, and be tested prior to acceptance. It is the intent of these Specifications to set a baseline of operational functionality and product performance that all installations must meet. This document includes product specifications, general design considerations, and installation guidelines; however, it is not intended to be complete and exhaustive by itself. Contractors must provide the necessary equipment and/or accessories for a fully functional installation that meets the intended design, whether or not expressly specified herein. Quantities of outlets, backbone routing, and installation details will be in a separate Scope of Work. 2. General 2.1 Installing Contractor The cabling contractor must be a certified installer of a County-approved structured cabling system (Systimax, Uniprise, or Certification Plus), or be able to obtain a County site license from the structured cabling vendor. They are responsible for workmanship and installation practices in full accordance with these Specifications as well as the requirements of the manufacturer’s program. A project manager will be assigned by the contractor throughout the duration of the installation. This person will coordinate the logistics of the installation and recommend any material or schedule changes that may be required. The contractor must also have an RCDD-certified individual available to insure adherence with industry best-practices. A walk-through
65
of the job site by that RCDD, prior to quoting on any project, will be considered essential. 2.2 Topology Station cabling throughout the County will consist of two 4-pair cables to each outlet, unless otherwise specified. The cables are to be home run to the nearest IDF, and terminated on patch panels (both voice and data). All work should be done professionally, with due diligence given to aesthetic concerns. Any unspecified materials necessary for the completion of work should be of a type and quality consistent with those identified in this document. As multiple manufacturers are allowed under these Specifications, modifications or remodels within an existing building must conform to the products already in use at that location. Accessible portions of extant cabling not being reused, or terminated and tagged for future use, must be completely removed during any remodel – not abandoned in place. Similarly, abandoned communication outlets will be covered with a blank faceplate, and not retain disconnected jacks. Systems will be considered operational only upon the ACFD’s acceptance of a properly completed installation, per this document. 2.3 Codes and Standards The latest editions and addendums of the following industry references and their subsections will be adhered to in any installation of cabling systems within the County of Alameda. This document, state and local regulations, and all manufacturers’ instructions are included by inference. In the event of non-regulatory conflicts the ACFD standard (this document) will take precedence, followed by the more stringent applicable standard.
• ANSI - TIA/EIA 568B, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard • ANSI - TIA/EIA 569A, Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications
Pathways and Spaces • ANSI - TIA/EIA 607, Commercial Building Grounding and Bonding Requirements for
Telecommunications • ANSI - TIA/EIA 758, Customer Owned Outside Plant Telecommunications Cabling
Standard • NFPA 70 - Article 645, National Electrical Code, Information Technology Equipment • NFPA 70 - Article 800, National Electrical Code, Communications Circuits • NECA/BICSI 568-2001, Installing Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling • TDMM – BICSI, Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual
3. Cable Type 3.1 Backbone Vertical backbone installations should consist of riser-rated, multi-pair copper cable (x25 UTP) and laser-optimized, 50-micron multimode fiber (OM3 minimum) run simultaneously. The fiber should be at least 12-strand, but 24-strand is strongly recommended for all but the smallest facilities. Campus backbone distances greater than 1500’ in length require 24-strand singlemode fiber be run alongside any copper cable. 3.2 Station All station cable must be 4-pair UTP, UL listed for plenum use. Cat3 cable should only be used in feature-restricted locations (payphones, outdoor wall phones, etc). Cat5E cable should not be used in new construction (“greenfield” environments). The maximum acceptable total length for
66
any individual station cable run is 295’. • category 3 limited use, white • category 5e/class D voice/data, blue • category 6/class E voice/data, yellow • augm’d cat6/class Ea multimedia, green
3.3 Fiber Optical cable must be run in 1-1/4” innerduct tubing and have a nylon pull-rope installed. When not also run inside conduit, both fiber and innerduct must be UL-rated for plenum use, and secured every 5’ to the cable supports. Inter-building (campus) fiber must have a dry water-blocking system for the cable core and buffer tubes, and be designed for both indoor and outdoor (buried conduit) use without a transition splice at the building entrance. All fiber should be installed with LC-style duplex connectors, unless otherwise requested. 3.4 Other Wiring Vendors supplying and installing cabling for other building equipment, including but not limited to: multimedia (A/V), building automation (HVAC), cable television, fire control, overhead paging, and security systems should run their cable in such a manner as to minimize potential confusion with, or possible degradation of, phone/data service. When feasible, they should use their own cable supports and different colored wire. Under no circumstances should power supplies or building radio systems be run alongside communications cabling. 4. Campus Installation Interbuilding, or outside plant (OSP), cabling should be installed such that it can continue to effectively serve the campus decades into the future, even as facilities are modified or razed.
• route along existing roadway, not bisecting undeveloped space • install cables opposite traffic flow when using utility poles • feed buildings from maintenance holes, not structure pass-thrus • splicing must be done in maintenance holes only • separate from other utilities by 3” in concrete, 4” in masonry, 12” in earth
When installed in the ground, backbone cable must be run in conduit (no direct-buried installations), and all conduit, whether used or not, should contain a nylon pull-rope. Do not mix copper and fiber cabling in the same conduit, and provision at least one additional 4” conduit for future use. Whenever feasible, use long, sweeping bends instead of sharp turns for determining conduit pathways. All buried conduit must be marked by orange warning tape with a detectable backing, placed 12-18” below the surface, directly above the cable. 5. Building Installation 5.1 Method Insure the integrity of any signal that will be carried across the structured cabling system by observing practices that protect cabling from possible sources of interference or degradation:
• cross electrical conduits at right angles only • no splicing or intermediate patch panels are allowed • no affixing to other utilities (gas, plumbing, etc) • route 18” from EMF-generating devices such as light ballasts (4’ from motors)
67
• Velcro wrap all bundles below ceiling grid (and do not use staples) • completely replace cable if the sheath is significantly damaged • observe minimum bend radius and pulling tension standards
Also of particular concern in open-ceiling environments is that structured cabling be run along defined pathways. The cabling should be run in level (horizontal) paths as much as possible. Those paths should be parallel or perpendicular to the center-line of the building, as defined by its columns and beams. Diagonal cable runs must be avoided. Cable runs must not be alongside exterior walls. 5.1.1 Conduit Backbone cable must be run in conduit and the conduit itself must be labeled at each end with the destination. For vertical runs use a minimum of two 4” conduits, plus one additional conduit for every three floors. Horizontal conduit runs should be considered for interconnecting multiple IDFs on a single floor of multi-story buildings. All conduit, whether used or not, should contain a nylon pull-rope. Do not mix copper and fiber cabling in the same conduit. Any conduit used to feed station cables must be sized not to exceed 40% fill, with a minimum ¾” diameter. It must be concealed, except when installed in equipment rooms, and all empty conduits must contain a nylon pull-cord. All outlet stub-ups/stub-outs must be reamed or finished with insulated bushings, and – except in IDFs – they should have minimal protrusion from the finished wall (<4”). In open-ceiling environments the conduit end should be coordinated with the location of cable support devices. 5.1.2 Wall Penetration Any cable penetrations of walls or floors are to be sleeved with 4” diameter metallic conduit and bushings. The ends must be flared or finished to eliminate possible cable sheath damage. Penetrations of walls or floors designed as fire barriers are also to be caulked outside and packed inside with suitable fire stop material, in compliance with state and local fire codes. 5.1.3 Cable Support Support devices must be used for station cable runs of any length. Whether cable tray, “J-hooks”, or cable slings, they must be cat6 compliant and anchored approximately 4’ apart (to insure minimal sag). They will provide at least 3” of clearance from the ceiling (for access), and will hang securely from wire hangers dedicated to only the cable support devices. The cable will not be attached to ceiling grid supports or other structures, and at no point should cables rest on acoustic ceiling panels. Whichever support device is used, it should be sized not to exceed 40% fill. 5.1.4 Raceway It is preferred that all station cabling be concealed inside walls or plenum wherever possible; any readily accessible cables must be enclosed in raceway. The raceway must provide separation of power and communication cabling, as well as bend-radius protection. However, the use of utility columns (“tele-power poles”) is to be avoided in ACFD facilities. 5.2 Entrance Facility / MPOE
68
A dedicated facility must be provided if the ACFD is not the sole tenant in a building. It should be fed by at least three 4” conduits connecting the service provider to the building. All conduits must be run so that they slope away from the building, to prevent water intrusion. All incoming copper cable (whether provider or campus) must be routed through an entrance cable protector panel, which must then be connected to the approved building ground using a #6 gauge copper cable with green PVC jacket between the protector ground lug and the main TGB. This TGB must safely carry lightning and power fail currents, and should be sized appropriately. 5.3 MDF / Computer Room This area houses communications systems, adjuncts, and administration terminals. 5.3.1 Location The following considerations must be given to the placement of the MDF:
• centrally located within any building • contiguous with IDF rooms for unimpeded backbone cabling • not traversed by wet pipes, subject to humidity or steam infiltration • not below the local water table, or subject to water intrusion • with a door opening onto a major hallway • separated from mechanical and electrical equipment, to avoid EMF
5.3.2 Access The MDF must be in a dedicated room with 24-by-7 availability. It should have card-key access on the ACFD badge system, and a 5’ wide double doorway with no center post (to provide for the movement of large equipment). If this is a different room than the MPOE, it should be fed by multiple 4” conduits between the two. 5.3.3 Construction The MDF must be a rectangular room of full-height walls capable of containing two parallel rows of equipment racks with adequate space front and rear for technicians to maneuver. Unimpeded access to one long wall is essential for wall-mounted equipment. The recommended minimum is for a 15’ by 12’ (180 sq ft) room for 100 outlets and a 25’ by 14’ (350 sq ft) room for larger buildings. The floor will be asbestos-free, non-conducting VCT (vinyl composition tile), designed to minimize dust, and light in color to enhance illumination. It will support a static loading of 100 lbs per sq ft. The ACFD does not specify a raised floor unless otherwise noted within this Lease. The backboard will be 3/4” fire-rated plywood, with the “C” (knot) side facing the wall. It should be painted white to enhance illumination, and the paint must not cover any fire-rating stamps. This plywood will be affixed to at least the two walls nearest the equipment racks, and mounted from 12” off the floor to 9’ high (4x8 panels). It should cover all of the space behind anticipated racks and cable runway mounting points to provide an effective surface for installation. All plywood will be fastened securely to the wall substrate, with appropriate fasteners mounted flush to the surface.
69
The MDF may have a suspended tile ceiling, though it is not necessary. The room must be fitted with a minimum of one 4” cable sleeve for every 50 station cables being terminated (including anticipated growth), with bushings on the ends to protect against cable sheath damage.
5.3.4 Environmental The lighting will consist of fixtures mounted above the height of any cable runway, and laid out to illuminate the installed equipment uniformly (front and rear). Control of the lights should not be on a timer or motion-sensitive switch.
There will be dedicated, 24-by-7 HVAC serving the MDF, with the sensors and controls for this equipment located within the room. The recommended operating range for the room is:
• 67 to 72 degrees F ambient room temperature • 40 to 55% non-fluctuating relative humidity
The operating range must take into account the heat load of all equipment expected to be installed, plus a reasonable margin for expansion. Note that any water and drainpipes within the room must be fitted with drip pans to avoid equipment damage. 5.3.5 Electrical The telephone and data equipment must be powered via dedicated circuits. These will usually be 120v, 20amp 4-plex outlets (unless specified otherwise), and must be clearly identified by label. One such circuit must be located on the wall adjacent to an equipment rack, at +18” AFF (above finished floor). At least one additional dedicated circuit must be mounted onto the cable runway above the equipment racks. There should also be a minimum of two 120v duplex convenience outlets per wall.
An electrical subpanel for the MDF should be installed within the room, and if fed by UPS be clearly labeled as such. A single large UPS to support consolidated voice and data functions should be evaluated for any installation, and designed support critical equipment for a period of at least two hours.
If the MDF is a different room than the MPOE it will be provided with its own busbar (TGB) as per the instructions for an IDF. In either case, all communications and data equipment, racks, and runways will be properly grounded. 5.3.6 Fire Protection Extra measures should be considered for this room, when deemed cost-effective and allowed by local codes. This includes a pre-action sprinkler system, heads designed to operate at 212 degrees F or higher, and an FM-200 suppression system for larger MDFs. All pipes in the room must be dry standpipe, and any sprinkler heads should be enclosed by a wire cage. 5.4 IDF This area is designed to connect horizontal station cabling with the building backbone.
5.4.1 Location The following considerations, beyond those of the MDF, must also be given to the placement of
70
any IDF: • a minimum of one per floor (more if >10,000 sq ft) • must be on the same floor as the terminations which it feeds • no further than 220 feet from most distant wall • vertically stacked on each floor to limit backbone complexity • not to be shared with radio frequency (RF) distribution equipment
5.4.2 Access Any IDF should have card-key access on the ACFD badge system and a door that is 36” wide with 180-degree swing.
5.4.3 Construction The design of an IDF will vary due to available space, but the requirement is for a minimum 10’ by 8’ (80 sq ft) rectangular room.
The floor can be either as in the MDF or sealed concrete. The walls should be full-height, with at least one sheet (4x8) of painted, ¾” fire-rated plywood. Any exposed brick or gypsum board will be painted or sealed to minimize dust. The ceiling of an IDF should be open (without suspended tiles), to ease cabling changes.
5.4.4 Environmental The lighting will be as in the MDF. There need not be dedicated HVAC for any IDF, as long as the ambient temperature range is consistent with the surrounding office space. To that end, the room should have a louvered door. It is recommended that a temperature-controlled exhaust fan be supplied, set at 85 degrees F. 5.4.5 Electrical There must be a dedicated 120v, 20amp duplex outlet in the room. It should be located adjacent to an equipment rack, clearly labeled, and mounted +18” AFF. There should also be a minimum of two 120v duplex convenience outlets, located at 6’ intervals around the room. The grounding and bonding recommendations of TIA/EIA 607 (see Appendix for diagram) will be adhered to in all ACFD buildings. All communications and data equipment, racks, and runways will be grounded to a busbar (TGB) in each IDF. Every TGB will be mounted to the wall +84” AFF with insulators and stand-off brackets, and connected to building structural steel. Each TGB will then be linked by a #6 gauge copper cable (unspliced) with green PVC jacket to the grounding backbone (TBB), which itself connects to the main TGB in the MPOE. 5.5 Outlet Station cables should allow for a 6” service loop in the wall box. Outlets should consist of one voice and one data cable per workstation, unless otherwise specified. They should be located where they will not be blocked by furniture; yet, ideally, where a standard 7’ patch cord will reach the desk phone.
71
The ACFD specifically disallows the use of pedestal floor outlets (“monuments”). For modular furniture, outlets should be located close to the anticipated communication base feed (alongside the electrical whip). 6. Termination 6.1 Distribution Backbone cabling will terminate onto 110-block wall fields at both ends, although 66-blocks (with orange doors) are allowed for the entrance cable when a clearer designation of individual incoming lines is desired. All wall fields must be supplied with cable troughs and D-rings for proper routing of cross-connect wire. Voice and data station cabling will terminate onto patch panels mounted in equipment racks. A feeder cable must be installed between the wall field and patch panels in the MDF and each IDF to support any traditional phone sets and analog devices. This feeder will be a minimum 25-pair cable, split out -- one pair per jack on pins 4 and 5 – to a dedicated patch panel.
Patch panels will be of the proper performance grade to match station cable. The ACFD disallows use of high-density patch panels (defined as more than 24 ports in a 1-U frame, or 48 ports in a 2-U frame). Connections will be terminated carefully to maintain proper wire twist and sheathing, and then dressed for a neat appearance. Copper patch cords will be “snagless”, of the same manufacturer as the patch panels, and equivalent (or better) grade than the station cable. Patch cords and cross-connect wires are not to be tied into bundles.
Any fiber connection shelves must be mounted at the top of the rack closest to the wall, to avoid accidental damage. Multimode fiber connector panels will use ivory phosphor-bronze sleeves, and singlemode fiber connector panels will use blue ceramic split sleeves. Fiber patch cords, pigtails, and cable must all be of a uniform grade of glass, and provide equivalent bandwidth.
6.2 Station In-wall station outlets are generally to be 2-position, single gang wall plates of a color that matches the electrical (typically ivory). Modular jacks will be of the proper performance grade to match station cable, and connections will be terminated as to maintain proper wire twist and sheathing. All jacks are to be wired with full 4-pair continuity, RJ-45, in a 568B configuration. The voice jack (if one is so designated) should be ivory, and mounted in the top position. All data jacks should be orange. Blank inserts must be installed in any unused locations.
Modular furniture must be wired using the baseboard raceway feed and proper faceplate adaptors for the system type, as the ACFD does not allow the use of surface-mount (“biscuit” box) outlets in workspace locations. When there is exposed cable length between a modular furniture feed and the wall it is suggested to dress cables using corrugated plastic tubing.
6.3 Wireless Access Point Outlets for wireless access points in office environments should be mounted above the ceiling grid. Two cables will be terminated in a single “biscuit” box with a 10’ service loop, and hung above the grid on their own support wire. The box should not be permanently mounted to any surface.
72
Outlets for wireless access points in hard-ceiling environments should be standard wall plates, surface-mounted 12” from the ceiling. Two cables will be terminated at the wall plate. 6.4 Rack Equipment racks are used to house voice and data electronics, and route cable for the proper functioning of high-performance cross-connect products (see Appendix for diagram). The following must be observed in installations:
• racks should be clear-coat aluminum, 19” by 84” • run in a row parallel to the rear wall • mounted 51” from centerline to rear wall (for clearance when loaded) • properly bolted to the floor and cable runway • spaced for proper installation of vertical managers
Any co-located network cabinets must retain at least 30” of unobstructed passageway behind – even if that requires their face not be flush with the racks.
Vertical and horizontal cable managers may differ in manufacturer from the rack or each other. The vertical managers must be 6” wide, with black finger-duct (and a cover door) on the front and distribution rings on the rear. They must be bolted to the racks on either side (unless at the end of a row). The horizontal managers must use black metal distribution rings, not plastic finger duct, and should be front-facing only.
The cable runway should be 12” wide and run the length of the room, in-line with the racks. A runway segment should be installed perpendicular to every other rack, and – in larger buildings – also along the entrance facility wall field. This provides efficient cabling access to all equipment, properly supports the cables, and braces racks against earthquake damage.

8. Administration A labeling system will be utilized that clearly identifies each station cable. Machine-made, permanently affixed labels must be placed on each station jack and patch-panel port. They must be printed in black ink upon a white background. The labeling system should be based upon outlet, not work area, and irrelevant of the current purpose of a jack. The suggested method is for all outlets from a specific IDF to be incrementally numbered, using three digits (including leading zeroes when necessary). The individual horizontal cables at a drop are then identified by a “dot” sequence from left to right, top to bottom; thus, the bottom left jack at the 52nd outlet fed from a particular IDF would be 052.3. The actual serving IDF would be identified by a separate “IDF [room #]” label on each outlet. The purpose of such a system is to not be adversely affected by space changes, the later addition of additional cable or outlets, or the continued convergence of voice and data communications.

serving IDF (station cable termination) horizontal cable (corresponding IDF port) 9. Testing 9.1 Method Tests must be performed using industry standard test equipment that has been UL verified to level III accuracy as defined by TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1. The tester must be properly recalibrated according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule, and specifically check for guaranteed performance throughout the valid range of the cable. The equipment should use marginal pass indicators (to identify when the result is closer to a test limit than the tester’s margin of accuracy), and links which report a marginal pass should be re-terminated and tested again. All installed cable must be permanent-link tested prior to system cut-over and activation in accordance with the appropriate field test specifications; sample tests of only some facilities are not acceptable. For multi-pair copper backbone cabling no more than 2% of the total pairs may be defective. The contractor will immediately replace (remove and re-install) or repair, at no cost to the ACFD, any copper, fiber, or backbone cable not meeting expected performance parameters and retest prior to final acceptance. 9.2 Verification The ACFD may, at its discretion, have its own representatives inspect and retest a sample of the installed communications links. Any individual discrepancies must be resolved, to the ACFD’s satisfaction, by the installing contractor (and at their own cost). If more than 10% of the sample results are confirmed to differ, in terms of pass/fail, then the installation contractor must retest all of the communications cabling at their own cost. 9.3 Documentation Test results must be provided in digital format for all installed cabling (copper, fiber, or backbone) to the County of Alameda Communications Department, prior to final acceptance. The information for all copper station cabling should be sorted in ascending numerical order (according to the labeling standard), and include the relevant test information for the type of cable. The information for each test will contain the worst pair value, the worst pair margin, the test frequency of that worst pair, and the test limit at that frequency. The electronic file for each test result must include the brand name, model, serial number, and software version of the tester used, as well as the cabling test category and date performed. As-built drawings of the complete structured cabling system should be included at this time, in either paper or digital media, at no additional cost to the ACFD. It is the contractor’s responsibility to insure that the
75
Communications Department has the necessary Microsoft Windows PC software to read all documentation. 9.4 Certification The contractor must successfully receive certification of the installed structured cabling system from the manufacturer before the ACFD will accept a completed installation. The certification must provide at least a 20-year warranty directly to the ACFD on the material and workmanship of the cabling system, including connectivity components and any backbone or other subsystems installed. The warranty must cover standards adherence, transmission performance, application assurance, and repair/replacement of faulty equipment (including necessary labor). Evidence of this certification must be presented to the ACFD with other required documentation.
10. Exceptions Any exceptions to these Specifications must be approved in writing, in advance, by the County of Alameda Communications Department. Trade names, brand names, model numbers, etc used in this specification are for the purpose of providing a performance and quality reference, and are not intended to be exhaustive. Alternative parts must meet or exceed all performance references listed herein, the relevant industry guidelines, and comply fully with the chosen structured cabling system manufacturer’s warranty program. It is the installing contractor’s responsibility to demonstrate such equivalency. 11. Glossary As-Built Documentation that reflects actual cable routing and systems installed upon job

EXHIBIT B-5 Alameda County Fire Department Pump Test Pit Design Recommendations
Pump Test Pit Design Recommendations
Pump Test Pit Design Recommendations Notice: For information only. This bulletin is published as a service to our customers and contains general recommendations regarding the design and construction of test pits for the testing of automotive fire apparatus. No specific warranty or claim of suitability or fitness for any specific application is guaranteed or implied.
References This article contains information from a variety of sources including recommendations from the National Board of Fire Underwriters
Fire apparatus pump test pits can be constructed in a variety of ways. Most truck
manufacturers and some fire departments have on-site closed test pits. If the test pit is not
designed or constructed to allow consistent pump testing, problems may develop. High
water temperature, water turbulence, and aerating the water are all potential problems; all
of these conditions, separately or in combination, can cause a pump to prematurely
cavitate. The key design feature of any pump test pit is to provide a good consistent
source of water free from entrained air and turbulence. Features such as baffles or walls
with in the pit to separate the turbulent discharge section from the suction section are
required to keep the suction area “quiet”. Pump test pits that are little more than cisterns
can work for low flows or for training on drafting procedures, however when a full
capacity pump test is required, these reservoirs often prove inadequate.
Typically, a pump affected by the pit conditions will not meet its rated capacity for flow
and pressure. It may meet the lower flow test points such as the NFPA 50% at 250 psi
(17 BAR) test but may fall short of the full flow rating. Other factors that can not be
controlled such as the atmospheric pressure (barometer) also affect pump performance, so
a pump test pit design that has flaws may flow much better on a high barometer day and
the same pump may have poor performance the next day when the barometer goes down
to a lower level.
Some guidelines for designing a pit follow, but remember adjustment of internal baffles
and hood design may be required to achieve the optimum results in any particular design.
CCoonnttrroolllliinngg WWaatteerr TTeemmppeerraattuurree The NFPA uses 60oF water temperature for pump ratings. Higher water temperature
brings the pump closer to cavitation and can restrict the performance of the pump. Water
up to 90oF is still acceptable, unless it is coupled with turbulence and/or aeration. When
you reach 100oF, pump test problems can result. The ambient water temperature can not
be easily or cost effectively controlled, but the temperature rise during the test from
pumping can be reduced. The best way to control water temperature rise to have
sufficient pit water capacity. Temperature rise is caused by the energy expended to pump
the water, friction, and truck heat exchanger functions.
1. There should be a minimum of 10 gallons of usable water in the pump test pit for
each GPM of pump capacity.
For example, 2000 GPM pump x 10 gallons of pit water = 20,000 gallons total
useable pit water capacity minimum. Increased water capacity gives you more
reserve and a larger test pit can make other design features like less than optimum
baffles less critical, so this is usually a good place to be conservative.
2. Keep in mind that fire pumps are available up to 3000 GPM. Also, if you will test
two or more trucks at a time there will need to be extra reserve capacity built into
the design. A Fire Department test pit that will only test a pump once in a while
can obviously be smaller than a test facility where several pumps may be tested in
a single day. Very high usage pits in hot climates require more water capacity or
a cooling tower. Bigger is better when it comes to pit capacity. Consider the 10
gpm rule a minimum acceptable standard to avoid problems.
3. Pit water depth should be a minimum of 8 feet. In the past there has been a
recommendation of a minimum between 13 and 15 feet. This extra depth can
increase construction costs significantly in some areas, and as long as the other
design considerations are met the 8 foot pit water depth has not shown any
problems in actual practice. Digging a deeper pit will not hurt, but it is not
necessary.
4. The test pit length should be longer than the width. The idea here is to get the
discharge or water return as far away from the suction side the pit as possible.
This helps keep the suction area of the pit quiet and free from air entrainment.
Again a larger pit with more distance between the discharge/return and suction
will be more forgiving of other issues or limitations. Typically the length of the
pit is at least 2-1/2 to 3 times the width when the pit is a simple rectangle.
CCoonnttrroolllliinngg WWaatteerr TTuurrbbuulleennccee The discharge of the pump output thru nozzles or other flow measuring devices flow back
into the return side of the test pit causing turbulence and aeration. To control this water
movement, baffles and partitions are needed.
TTeesstt PPiitt BBaafffflleess 1. The first baffle isolates the discharge water turbulence from the rest of the pit.
The wall or baffle should run the full width of the pit, and have small openings
extending 6 inches down from top of pit and at least two open “windows”
approximately 24 x 24 inches at the bottom of the pit. These windows are
staggered so that they do not line up with the nozzle(s) discharging water back
into the test pit. This baffle is located approximately ¼ distance of the tank length
in a simple rectangular test pit. Obviously larger pits designed for larger pumps
should have more windows to allow the water to flow from the discharge
compartment to the next compartment in the test pit. This baffle forces the water
to pass thru the windows that do not line up with the nozzles so that the water
turns and has time to lose energy as it enters the next pit section. The small
openings in the top of the wall are simply vents to allow air to circulate between
the pit chambers. They are above the water line.
2. The second wall in the test pit forms a middle chamber with the first wall to
further calm the water and allow any air to escape. Sometimes this baffle is
omitted on test pit designs that are used with small to medium size pumps, but
considering the test pit as a permanent capital investment, this extra wall helps
assure that turbulence and currents do not affect the suction portion of the pit
when flowing larger volumes of water and is a design option to seriously
consider. This second wall has the same vents as the first baffle at the top of the
wall. The vents again extending 6 inches down from the top of the wall are
positioned so they do not line up with the suction hose openings or access points
and are above the water level. The wall also has two large windows sized
approximately 36 x 36 and positioned at the bottom of the wall and away from the
suction hose position. Positioned correctly, these windows ensure that a low
velocity flow is provided to the suction hose from both sides.
3. The actual suction section of the pit is where the pump will actually draw water.
This last section of the pit should comprise 30-50% of the total pit volume. There
are usually two suction hose access points to allow testing pumps up to 2000 gpm.
Each opening should be complete with an access plate over it to keep debris out
of the pit. A curb around the pit is also a good idea and some form of rail may be
required for safety purposes.
SSuuccttiioonn eenndd ooff ppiitt a. Water depth on suction end must be sufficient to have three feet of water above the
end of the suction hose. When setting up an apparatus for test NFPA usually
requires 20 feet of suction hose and a strainer. The suction hose entering the pit and
obtaining proper depth to the end of the suction strainer determines the apparatus
placement and therefore determines the placement of the outer wall of the test pit.
Most installations do not have the apparatus parked on top of the test pit, but keep
the apparatus on solid ground while the test pit is off to one side.
b. A stanchion or tie down point at the suction openings to the test pit can be a
convenient place to tie off a rope leading to the suction strainer on the end of the
fire hose.
c. Always use a suction strainer and keep the hose off the bottom and away from the
sides of the test pit. The test pit design should keep the inner walls far enough from
the suction hose opening that having the hose coming within 18 inches of a wall is
not an issue.
CCoonnttrroolllliinngg PPiitt WWaatteerr AAeerraattiioonn.. Water aeration can be caused by direct discharge stream injection into the pit reservoir
resulting in pit water surface turbulence. In addition to the baffles or walls described
earlier, this turbulence can be reduced by deflecting the water flow from the nozzles
utilizing a discharge hood. The discharge hood utilizes curved back plate to direct
discharge water flow from what is typically a horizontal nozzle flow back down into the
pit. The action of the water striking the inside of the curved hood tends to dissipate
some of the energy of the water and diffuse the stream so there is far less disturbance of
the surface of the water in the test pit. This hood must be at least two feet wide with a flat
top as high as needed. This hood could be the full width of the pit and may be steel, thick
aluminum, or concrete with a curved steel back plate.
AAddddiittiioonnaall PPiitt FFeeaattuurreess 1. Baffle construction can be poured concrete, concrete blocks or possible even
treated wood products, although the latter has durability concerns and concerns
about wood debris clogging the pumps.
2. A manhole cover access should be provided into both ends of pit, and built-in
ladders in pit at manhole covers are a good idea.
3. The baffles do not have to be removable as long as there is service access to each
section of the test pit. Take note the entire test pit structure would be considered a
“confined space” and there are OSHA and other safety regulations and signage
requirements and rules that need to be understood and adhered to regarding
entering such an environment.
4. The sketch on the next page shows a design concept for a test pit. It shows some
generic design features that can benefit a specific test pit design. Key to the
concept is keeping the turbulent return section of water away from the quiet
suction area so that the test pit more nearly simulates the condition of pumping
from a large body of water without the problems associated with re-circulating
water. The dimensions shown are provided to show rough proportions and are not
exact. This sketch does not take into account various methods of construction or
specific site requirements. The builder of a test pit must keep in mind all
applicable ordinance and safety rules.
5. A pair of suction hose access openings (minimum number) with covers and
handrail guards should be integrated into the design, not added later.
6. Discharge hood opening needs hinged cover plates or some method of covering to
keep debris out of the test pit. One designer made the exterior of the structure out
of red brick with a curved steel baffle inside and used an old cast iron boiler door
as a method of covering the opening to prevent debris from entering the pit while
providing an appearance that meets the needs of the Fire Department
Headquarters.
7. Pit will need to be drained, depending on use, for cleaning, servicing, or
modification. A sump in each chamber will allow you to pump out the pit more
completely. Local ordinances may determine how the pit water can be removed
and disposed of.
8. Previsions will be required to hold discharge test nozzles or flowmeters.
9. You will need the ability to read water depth.
10. Water temperature will need to be checked and monitored. All tests should have
the barometer, air and water temperature recorded.
11. Suction hose hookup to truck must maintain a downward slope for its entire
length. There should be no humps in the hose hookup. Air traps are not
acceptable. Provisions to test with suction hoses on both sides of the apparatus is
recommended for 1750 to 2000 GPM pumps. For pumps 2250 GPM and larger,
multiple hoses may be used on both sides of the apparatus. The above design
guidelines can be incorporated in to a U shaped pit where the apparatus sits in the
center of the U for dual suctions or other arrangements can be made to
accommodate larger pumps that may require dual drafting hoses for proper
testing.
12. The vertical lift from the typical pump suction connection to the water line should
not exceed 6 feet. This will allow testing of a wide variety of pumps. NFPA
designates 10 foot lift for smaller pumps and 6 foot lift for larger units.
13. A flat, level apparatus pad is required. Apparatus parked at an angle may cause an
air trap, which is not acceptable.
14. Some test pit designs incorporate a screened weir design. This helps strain the
water to remove floating debris. The screen and weir should be placed close to
the discharge side of the pit as the water fall action across the weir can entrain
additional air in the pit water.
15. A designer adding a pool filter to keep pit water clean needs to keep in mind that
Fire Apparatus pumps are typically cast iron with various amounts of brass and
stainless steel. While there are some stainless and bronze pumps in service, iron
or aluminum pumps are not designed to pump chlorinated pool water. Any
chorine treatment should be kept to a minimum and provisions for flushing the
pump and water tank after testing should be provided in this case. High chlorine
levels may also affect the vapor pressure of the water which may lead to
premature cavitation and pump performance problems. While a pool filter is
acceptable to keep water clean, pool chlorination techniques are not.
Providing a consistent test environment for the testing of Fire Apparatus pump ensures
that the equipment is properly evaluated for a lower cost, longer service life free from un-
necessary repairs that could be considered due to poor pump performance caused by a
poor test environment.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN CLEANWA Y SYSTEMS
A. SYSTEM DESIGN:
The AMERICAN CLEANWA Y Waste Water Treatment System is designed primarily as a "Treat-for-Discharge" product for use by small volume generators, whose waste stream volume is approximately 4 to 10 gallons per minute, with a maximum daily waste water load of 1500 to 3000 gallons.
The system is designed to remove free oil & grease, heavy metals, suspended solids and dissolved hydrocarbons (i.e.: fuels, certain solvents, pesticides and cleaning products). With certain simple variations, the AMERICAN CLEANWA Y systems can routinely handle more "complexed" waste streams that contain emulsified oils and distilled fuels.
The AMERICAN CLEANWA Y system is a true water treatment system. utilizing the same techniques employed by sewer or water treatment plants. The technique or process is called coagulation and flocculation, with gravity settling of the solids freed by the process. The solids settling takes place in a large vessel called a clarifier. There are no cartridge or media filters in the primary water treatment section of the system.
B. MODELS AVAILABLE:
The AMERICAN CLEANWA Ywaste water treatment system comes in a variety of models:
STAINLESS STEEL MODELS:
1. OIL/WATER SEPARATOR
2.200/300/500 GALLON "FLOW THROUGH" CLARIFIERS
3. COrvlBII\JATION OIL/WATER SEPARATOR & CLARIFIER ON UNITIZED STAND
4.500/1000 GALLON RE-CIRCULATION/RECYCLING SYSTEM
POLYETHYLENE MODELS:
1.100 GALLON BATCH CLARIFIER (CALLED THE "FLOCCULATOR")
2.500/1000 GALLON "FLOW-THROUGH" CLARIFIERS
3.500/1000 GALLON RE-CIRCULATION/RECYCLING SYSTEMS
(1 )
C: MARKET APPLICATIONS:
The AMERICAN CLEANWA Y system can be used in nearly every waste stream produced by industrial process water dischargers normally associated with the use of pressure washers. The typical waste streams that can be successfully treated by the system usually will contain free and emulsified oil, suspended solids along with certain toxic metals and solvents. There are very few of these types of situations that are not open to AMERICAN CLEANWA YWWTS equipment.
Stainless steel clarifying systems offer construction professionals a splendid opportunity to quote in the "high end" of the market, typically:
1. Specifically designed and installed systems for public agencies, where the equipment is being specified as part of new construction & design.
2. Full compliance discharge systems for heavy duty industrial process water generators, such as heavy equipment and truck maintenance facilities, lumber companies, mining companies and quarries, as well as chemical plants and certain food processors.
Polyethylene clarifying systems have been added to the AMERICAN CLEANWA Y line to afford the construction professional with an equipment source for a less expensive water system more aligned to the pressure washing equipment marketplace.
1. The equipment is designed for the low volume generator who is not inclined to spend very much money on equipment or is not disposed to bring the waste stream into full compliance for discharge.
2. Retrofits on failed systems sold by others.
3. Specific markets where less sophisticated clarifiers are adequate for treating the waste stream:
a. golf courses b. small boat yards c. school bus companies or fleet washing operations (no chassis wash-outs) d. landscape maintenance companies
D. COMPARABILITY TO COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES:
When comparing the AMERICAN CLEANWA Y system to other technologies, it is very important to identify the fundamental differences between CLEANWA Y's proprietary single pass "treat-for-discharge" design and the technologies commonly supplied byothers.
(2)
FEATURES AND BENEFITS;
1. "SINGLE PASS VS MUL TlPLE PASSES: The AMERICAN CLEANWA Y system removes all free and emulsified oils, suspended solids and dissolved metals as the water moves slowly through the clarifying vessel, not just the constituents that are larger than 20 microns. The contaminants in the waste stream are trapped in the clarifier's sludge layer and are not re-circulated or redirected elsewhere in the system. Less sophisticated filtration based systems are designed to run continuously and recirculate unfiltered materials throughout the system, creating turbidity and odors. The attendant energy and "wear and tear" maintenance costs are unattractively high.
2. NEMA-4XCENTRAL CONTROLLER: This central system design feature allows the operator to "take charge" of any powered component in the system at any time. The controller design, working with adjustable rate injection pumps, allows the operator to switch between system functions and adjust the system's operation to allow for changes in waste stream loading. This type of sophisticated equipment is not found on competitive, lower cost equipment.
3. STATE-OF-THE-ART COAGULANTS: The key to the efficiency of the system's design lies in the polyacrylimides (polymers) that are used to provide the primary water treatment. The very high molecular weight and multiple charge sites on the polymer molecules promote complete clarification and rapid sludge settling in the clarification vessel. In the AMERICAN CLEANWAYsystem, there are seven proprietary coagulants, available to treat differing waste streams, including very sophisticated "metal grabbers" and emulsion breakers, as well as three sludge conditioning flocculants that improve sludge for clarifying and removing different waste stream constituents.
No competitive filtration system is designed to treat such a broad range of waste streams in this manner.
4. TRANSFER BOX WITH pH MONITOR: On those systems where soaps, solvents or other complexing agents require pH monitoring and control, the AMERICAN CLEANWA Y system is designed better than other systems available in it's class or price range. The hardware is completely adjustable, easily accessed and serviceable without extensive disassembly. Reagent injection is done with heavy duty diaphragm pumps (not less expensive peristaltic "squeeze pumps) that are variable rate and operate with individual selection switches installed in the system's central controller. Reagents and polymers are agitated and mixed by a separate high energy inducing mix pump mounted in the transfer box. The resulting floc formation and metals removal practically guarantees clean water, free of heavy metals, sediments and oil.
Most filtration systems that attempt pH control employ inexpensive "set-point" monitors and probes typically seen in swimming pool equipment. These pH probes are usually mounted "downstream" from the reagent injection point and depend heavily on
(3)
operator inspection and litmus paper "taping" of the finished stream to establish pH balance on the treated water.
5. PA TENTED "FLOW-THROUGH" DESIGN: On the stainless steel AMERICAN CLEANWAYsystem, the unique, patented final membrane floc screening device allows the system to operate at higher flow rates with smaller clarifier vessels without floc or sediments escaping to the sewer drain or to the re-circulation tank.
There is no known filtration system that can treat water in a single pass through a single filter element.
6. SIMPLE SLUDGE REMOVAUDE-WATERING: The cone bottom design of the primary clarifying vessel, coupled with a quick opening drain system, provides an easy to use, quick acting sludge removal capability,- without disassembly of the system! A stainless steel sludge de-watering cylinder completes the system and provides uncomplicated, easy to manage sludge handling for ultimate disposal, usually to landfill. The polymers used to produce the sludge also act to stabilize the more hazardous constituents in the sludge and make less expensive disposal possible.
Filtration systems mechanically trap and then concentrate untreated solids and other waste materials in the various media incorporated into their design. Solids removal is either accomplished:
(1) through disassembling the filters and cleaning and replacing the media or (2) back flushing the filtered wastes to the system sumps.
In either case, the waste materials are reintroduced to the system or left to the servicing worker's ingenuity as to what is to be done with them. Usually, these often hazardous materials are disposed of carelessly or improperly. Worse yet, the back flushed materials frequently contaminate the system sumps, creating the expensive requirement to pump out the sumps and dispose of the waste water.
7. RECYCLINGIRE-CIRCULA TlON MODULE: The compact, easy-to- service recirculation and recycling module is designed to include all of it's major working components on one modular skid assembly. If included as part of the water treatment system, it's operation is integrated into the NEMA-4X controller assembly. Because1he treated water is so clean when it leaves the clarifier, the re-circulation module's job is one of water conditioning, namely keeping it fresh and odor-free. The ozone generator and washable, pleated paper element filter assembly are included for this purpose. A programmable, multi-event timer is included in the central controller to provide the system operator with the capability to adjust the periods of water re-circulation, thus avoiding the possibility of the water becoming stagnant or brackish. Usually a four to six hour daily operating period for the re-circulation pump is sufficient.
(4)
Filtration systems typically re-circulate the water containing 20 micron solids through the entire system many, many times. The waste water is heavily bombarded with ozone during these cycles in an attempt to control odors created by the suspended (less than 20 micron size) solids that remain in the water. Most filtration systems are designed to cycle continuously and it is not uncommon to have all system pumps running 14 to 18 hours daily. The wear, maintenance and parts replacement on these pumps is very costly and time consuming.
8. PROJECT INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT:
If you are considering the inclusion of a waste water treatment system in your next project, detailed technical support is available from AMERICAN CLEANWA Ylndustries. This support may involve the preparation of a site plan, a waste water analysis and the development of specialized equipment fabrications and/or installation packages. AMERICAN CLEANWA Yoffers this type of guidance and support as part of the design and purchase of a specific water treatment system purchase by a potential client.
