This Agreement is made this 26th day of February, 1990,
between THE MOUNTAIN STATES TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY d /b /a
U S WEST COMMUNICATIONS (hereinafter referred to as "Company "),
and PUEBLO, a Municipal Corporation, acting on behalf of itself
and sole contracting agent which is participating in the Enhanced
911 Telephone System, (hereinafter referred to as "Customer ").
Recital c
WHEREAS, Company provides emergency telephone service whereby
the public has the exclusive use of telephone number "911" for
universal emergency service, and;
WHEREAS, Customer desires to participate in such emergency
telephone service on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth and the terms, conditions and rates contained in the Company
Colorado Tariff section 9.A.2 Emergency Reporting Service which is
included herein by this reference.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants hereinafter set forth, Company and Customer agree as
follows:
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCED 911 SERVICE
Universal emergency number service to be provided under this
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Service" or "E911
Service ") is a telecommunications exchange service which
routes 911 dialed calls to a Customer designated Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
2. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCED 911 SERVICE
The E911 Service to be provided to Customer by Company is an
enhanced 911 service which will include the following: (See
Exhibit A for locations and pricing used in this Agreement).
E911 FEATURES
A. Selective Routing (SR). In the case of multiple PSAPs,
this feature provides for routing of an E911 call to a
designated primary PSAP based on the identified tele-
phone number of the calling party.
B. Automatic Number Identification (ANI). This feature
provides for visual display of the calling party's
telephone number at the PSAP location.
C. Automatic Location Identification (ALI). This feature
provides for visual display of the calling party's
street address information based on ANI telephone number
displayed at the PSAP location.
D. Forced Disconnect. A feature of E911 Service that
enables a PSAP attendant to terminate an existing 911
call at any time, regardless of the action of the
calling party.
E. Default Routing (DR). In the case of more than one
PSAP, a feature activated when an incoming E911 call
cannot be selectively routed due to an ANI failure,
garbled digits or other causes. Such incoming calls are
routed from the E911 control office to a default PSAP.
Each incoming E911 facility group to the control office
is assigned a default PSAP.
F. Alternate Routing (AR). A feature provided to allow
E911 calls to be routed to a designated alternate
location if (1) all E911 exchange lines to the primary
PSAP are busy, or (2) the primary PSAP closes down for a
period (night service).
G. Speed Call /Manual Transfer. A feature of E911 Service
that enables the PSAP attendant to transfer an incoming
call by depressing the switchhook of the associated
telephone or the "add" button on the Display and
Transfer Unit and dialing a 2 -digit Speed Calling Code
to transfer a call.
H. Central Office Transfer (COT). A feature of E911
Service used to transfer calls from a primary PSAP to
other locations (if more than one PSAP). It consists of
Speed Call /Manual Transfer and Fixed Transfer. Fixed
transfer enables a PSAP attendant to transfer incoming
E911 calls to a secondary PSAP by the use of a single
button on the Display and Transfer Unit.
3. PROVISIONS OF SERVICE
A. E911 Service is limited to the use of the number code
911 as the universal emergency number. The E911 Service
to be provided pursuant to this Agreement will be the
only E911 Service provided within the jurisdictional
corporate boundaries of Customer. The E911 emergency
number is not intended as a total replacement for the
service of the various public safety agencies which
participate in the use of this number. Customer may
subscribe to other local exchange services at the PSAP
locations for administrative purposes, for placing
outgoing calls, and for receiving other calls.
-2-
B. E911 Service is furnished to the Customer only for the
purpose of receiving reports of emergencies from the
public.
C. E911 Service is arranged for one -way incoming service to
the appropriate PSAP. Outgoing calls can only be made
on a transfer basis.
D. E911 Service is provided solely for the benefit of the
Customer operating the PSAP. The Company does not
answer or forward 911 calls but furnishes the use of it
facilities to enable the Customer's personnel, on the
Customer's premises, to respond to such calls. Company
will provide E911 information consisting of the names,
telephone numbers and addresses of telephone customers,
including those whose listings are not published in
directories or listed on Directory Assistance as
confidential.
E. Temporary suspension of Service by Customer is not
provided for E911 Service.
F. Customer is responsible for identifying primary and
secondary PSAP locations as well as the unique
combination of police, fire and ambulance or any other
appropriate agencies responsible for providing emergency
service in the E911 serving area. An Emergency Service
Number (ESN) will be provided by Company for each unique
combination. Customer will associate these ESNs with
street address ranges or other mutually agreed upon
routing criteria in the E911 serving area. These ESNs
will be carried in the Data Management System (DMS) to
permit routing of 911 calls to the primary and secondary
PSAPs responsible for handling of calls from each tele-
phone in the E911 serving area. The following terms
define Customer's responsibility in providing this
information:
1. Initial and subsequent ESN assignments by street
name, address range and area, or other mutually
agreeable routing criteria shall be furnished by
Customer to Company prior to the effective date of
Service.
2. After the establishment of Service, it is Custom-
er's responsibility to continue to verify the
accuracy of the routing information contained in
the master address file, and to advise Company of
any changes in street names; establishment of new
streets; changes in address numbers used on exist-
ing streets; closing and abandonment of streets;
changes in police, fire, ambulance, or other appro-
priate agencies' jurisdiction over any address;
annexations; and other changes in Customer's
-3-
boundaries; or any other matter that will affect
the routing of 911 calls to the proper PSAP.
Changes, deletions, and additions which Customer
desires to have made in the master address file
should be submitted to Company on an "as occurred"
basis. When Customer provides Company with such
modifications for the data base, Company will
complete data base modification within forty -eight
(48) hours of receipt, excluding Sundays and
holidays and furnish a written copy to the Customer
for verification showing each change, deletion, and
addition to the master address file.
3. Company will provide to the Customer on request a
complete written copy of the master address file to
permit the Customer to verify accuracy of the
police, fire and ambulance PSAP routing designa-
tions.

tions of this Agreement, the prevailing party, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorney fees to be determined by the
court.
12. LIMITED WARRANTY /SOLE REMEDY
A. The charges for E911 Service and the warranty contained
herein do not contemplate the inspection or constant
monitoring of facilities to discover errors, defects,
and malfunctions in the Service, nor does the Company
undertake such responsibility. The Customer shall make
such operational tests as, in the judgment of the
Customer, are required to determine whether the system
is functioning properly. The Customer shall promptly
notify the Company in the event the system is not
functioning property. Company shall initiate a response
within two (2) hours. Such response shall not necess-
arily require the dispatch of Company personnel to a
Customer premises.
-6-
B. Company will provide at least the same level of service
reliability and quality for the E911 service as it
provides for telephone service in the exchange where the
E911 is located. Company warrants to Customer, and no
other, that the Service will be substantially free of
operational difficulties during the term of this
Agreement. If the Service provided Customer for any
reason does not function, Customer shall notify Company
promptly. If, after investigation and testing, Company
reasonably determines that the Service does not function
due to defects in Company's equipment, material or
operation of Service, Company shall repair or, at its
option, replace such Service, and such repair or
replacement shall be Customer's sole remedy for breach
of this warranty. If Company reasonably determines that
(i) Service does not function in accordance with Company
standards or (ii) Service does not function, but the
cause is one other than a defect in Company's equipment,
material or operation of Service, then, in either of
such events, Company will repair or replace such Service
upon Customer's request and Customer shall pay Company
any charges customarily made by Company for service
calls, testing, materials, and review.
C. The limited warranty set forth above shall not apply to
(i) any defect in Service, or damage or loss thereto or
therefrom arising or resulting from acts or omissions of
Customer, Customer's agents and employees or others who
act or fail to act at Customer's direction, which con-
stitutes misuse, abuse, improper use, and (ii) installa-
tion, modification, change, repair, maintenance, or
attachment of Service by anyone other than Company.
13. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT COMPANY IS NOT AN INSURER OF THE
SERVICE AND THAT INSURANCE, IF ANY IS DESIRED, SHOULD BE
OBTAINED BY CUSTOMER. THE AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO COMPANY
HEREUNDER ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF COMPANY'S SERVICES
AND THE SCOPE OF LIABILITY AS HEREIN SET FORTH AND ARE
UNRELATED TO THE VALUE OF CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY OR THE
PROPERTY OF OTHERS WHEREVER LOCATED.
B. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS
OWN ACTS AND OMISSIONS AND THOSE OF ITS OFFICERS,
AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL EXTEND THE LIABILITY
OF EITHER PARTY BEYOND THAT PROVIDED BY GOVERNING LAW.

OR DEFENSES FOR ITSELF, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS OR
EMPLOYEES UNDER ANY LAW INCLUDING THE COLORADO
