4.0 RF ENGINEERING (RF) SERVICES
Upon the approval of a Work Authorization, LCC shall provide RF
Engineering services as follows. In the performance of such Services, LCC will
use the design guidelines set forth in the Sprint PCS "RF Design Guidelines Rev.
9.0".
4.1 RF DESIGN OF THE MARKET
4.1.1 LCC shall prepare the databases required for each of the market
designs. The databases will be developed from LCC's existing
databases for the United States as well as from data obtained
through third-party sources and will include terrain and
demographics. If LCC's standard antenna database does not include
UbiquiTel desired antennas, then LCC will obtain digitized
patterns from third party vendors and have them added to the
database.
4.1.2 UbiquiTel shall provide coverage objectives to LCC in the form of
a map with coverage regions and service requirements indicated.
The coverage objectives will define the area in which the network
will be installed and the type of service required in each area.
4.1.3 LCC shall incorporate the results of any preliminary zoning
analysis into the design.
4.1.4 Any Master Lease Opportunity identified or other preferred site
locations which are provided will be considered in the design
process.
4.1.5 LCC shall license a propagation tool. The propagation tool and
the associated databases will be copied to local networks at the
UbiquiTel-provided project offices by LCC staff.
4.1.6 During the project, LCC shall test sites in each service area
(network) to characterize environmental distinctions such as dense
urban, urban, suburban, and rural. The drive test data will be
post-processed to determine environment specific correction
factors to the general propagation prediction model being used in
the design.
4.1.7 LCC shall prepare the preliminary design using the mutually agreed
design goals and objectives. Preference will be given to sites
preferred by UbiquiTel, its partners, affiliates, and any master
site agreements in place. Buildings and other existing structures
will be given preference over undeveloped land.
4.1.8 LCC shall perform the following engineering analyses to finalize
the design for UbiquiTel approval:
- (a) Forward Path Ec/Io.
- (b) Coverage Analysis
- (c) Regions in soft handoff by type.
- (d) Required mobile Tx power on reverse path.
4.1.9 UbiquiTel shall supply LCC with projections of subscriber count,
subscriber usage, and blocking criteria if not included in the
Rev. 9.0 document.
4.1.10 LCC shall prepare search area maps (also referred to as "Search
Rings"), based upon the preliminary design, that identify desired
locations of all sites within the market. UbiquiTel shall approve
in writing the release of the search area map to Site Acquisition
for site identification and qualification. LCC shall modify the
design as needed to reflect actual field conditions of the
selected candidate sites.
4.2 SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT
4.2.1 LCC shall rank candidate sites and validate that the site is
acceptable for the design according to the information provided by
Site Acquisition.
4.2.2 When necessary in LCC's judgment, LCC shall perform a drive test
of the Primary Site Candidate (as defined in SECTION 5.3.6) using
an Ericsson RSAT-2000 scanning receiver. LCC will prepare the
drive test routes, set up the test transmitter, drive the test
route, collect the test data, and remove the test transmitter at
the conclusion of the test. After the test data is collected, LCC
will perform measurement integration to compare the received
signal strengths predicted by the propagation tool with the
collected data values. A correction factor for the site will be
determined for the propagation tool.
4.2.3 At the conclusion of the candidate site evaluation and drive
testing, if no candidate sites within a given search area are
acceptable, then a redesign of a portion of the network will be
required and pricing will be adjusted in accordance with Price and
Payment provisions. Redesigns will be subject to UbiquiTel's
reasonable approval. LCC and UbiquiTel will agree to a new
Delivery Milestone Deadline Date for the redesigned sites.
4.2.4 LCC shall support UbiquiTel in defending the final selected sites
before regulatory bodies. The preparation for these hearings may
include the creation of plots and short reports (1-2 pages long).
An LCC engineer will attend the hearing to discuss the technical
issues associated with the site. Approval by a regulatory board
is not guaranteed by the attendance of the LCC engineer.
4.2.5 Microwave relocation shall be performed by UbiquiTel.
4.2.6 The final design site may be co-located with other RF facilities,
in which case, LCC shall perform isolation and intermodulation
studies to determine the best placement for the UbiquiTel
equipment so that it will not interfere with, or receive
interference from, the co-located RF facilities.
4.2.7 LCC shall utilize a planning tool, along with the results of the
site drive tests to provide a final RF site configuration.
4.2.8 LCC engineers shall review site drawings and approve those
drawings that meet design and co-site interference requirements.
The drawings to be reviewed include lease drawings, building
permit drawings, zoning drawings, and final Construction Drawings
(as defined in SECTION 6.1.6).
4.2.9 LCC shall perform a final site visit to verify that the
installation was performed in accordance with the final approved
drawings. The items to be verified will be antenna radiation
center, orientation, cable type and length, connectors, co-located
antennas, and other relevant RF issues.
4.3 PRIOR COORDINATION NOTICE (PCN)
For each site to be constructed, LCC shall provide a completed Prior
Coordination Request Form, the form and content of which shall be mutually
agreed upon prior to commencement of work, containing relevant engineering site
data to Sprint PCS's designated Regulatory Compliance representative for prior
coordination, analysis and notification to microwave incumbents prior to
activation of a PCS site. LCC shall submit the PCN Request Form with this
information no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the on-air date for the
market or site.
4.4 FCC NEPA RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 ("NEPA") contained in Title 47 CFR Section 1 - Subpart I and any
other environmental procedures of UbiquiTel or its affiliates including Sprint
PCS, LCC shall provide NEPA RF Exposure Compliance services in accordance with
Title 47 CFR Section 1.1307(b) (referred to herein as "NEPA RF Exposure
Requirements") as follows:
4.4.1 LCC shall prepare an analysis, using modeling software acceptable
to Sprint PCS, to determine if the RF exposure levels are in
compliance with NEPA RF Exposure Requirements.
4.4.2 LCC shall collect field measurements of a site's RF exposure
levels when the software analysis, using conservative assumptions
of antenna data, does not determine that the RF exposure level is
in compliance and the actual antenna data cannot be obtained; or
when other regulatory requirements, such as zoning, necessitate
the collection of field measurements.
4.4.3 For each site, LCC shall prepare the Sprint PCS NEPA RF Exposure
Checklist form, the form of which shall be provided by UbiquiTel.
Required mitigation techniques for compliance shall be ascertained
from the NEPA RF Exposure Checklist form.
4.4.4 LCC shall inform UbiquiTel's construction contractor of any
required mitigation measures.
4.5 OPTIMIZATION OF THE NETWORK FOR COMMERCIAL LAUNCH
4.5.1 LCC shall prepare cell dependent measurement drive routes and
perform sector testing, using the RSAT, to ensure correct power
setting of the site, proper antenna orientation and correct PN
assignment.
4.5.2 LCC shall perform optimization of clusters consisting of 12 to 19
sites each. During the cluster optimization, LCC shall check hand
off, potential interference and forward and reverse link quality.
4.5.3 LCC shall perform system optimization testing to check overall
system performance. Several tests will be performed to collect
data and ensure that forward and reverse links quality is
maintained, proper hand-offs location and potential interference
is reduced.

5.0 SITE ACQUISITION (SA), ZONING (Z) AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE (RC)
SERVICES
Upon approval of a Work Authorization, LCC shall provide Site
Acquisition, Zoning and Regulatory Compliance Services as follows:
5.1 MASTER LEASE/CO-LOCATION OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION
5.1.1 Upon the issuance of a Search Ring, LCC shall conduct an initial
investigation to identify and qualify potential new master lease
and co-location site opportunities (referred to herein as "Master
Lease Opportunities") that meet UbiquiTel approved site criteria,
which criteria shall include, but not be limited to, equipment
specifications, overall lease premise area, clearance and other
configuration information, site operational restrictions and any
information that would have an impact on leasing (the "Approved
Site Criteria").
5.1.2 Based on the initial investigation above, LCC shall conduct a
preliminary evaluation of each Master Lease Opportunity site for
consistency with Approved Site Criteria, engineering design
suitability, and UbiquiTel's business and financial requirements
("Site Financial Requirements"). The objective of the preliminary
evaluation shall be to determine:
(a) That the site can likely be leased under a Master
Lease Opportunity agreement with acceptable terms
and conditions.
(b) That zoning or other regulatory land use approvals
and permits may be obtained under acceptable terms
and conditions.
(c) That the intended construction and installation can
be feasibly accomplished under acceptable terms,
conditions and cost parameters.
(d) That the site will accommodate the equipment
contemplated for the site.
Based upon this evaluation, LCC shall make recommendations to
UbiquiTel for each Master Lease Opportunity, or for sites within
any Master Lease Opportunity which LCC believes may expedite
development of the network and which should be further
considered.
5.1.3 In any case where the owner of a Master Lease Opportunity site is
likely to require or may prefer its own form of lease agreement,
LCC shall obtain an unexecuted copy of the required or preferred
lease or license agreement.
5.2 PRELIMINARY ZONING INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS
5.2.1 Upon the issuance of a Search Ring, for all jurisdictions within
which any search ringis likely to be located, LCC shall conduct a
preliminary jurisdiction-level zoning investigation (the
"Preliminary Zoning Investigation"), as described below, to
research, analyze, document and record preliminary zoning
information relevant to the proposed use. LCC shall consider this
information, and in particular the zone locations which may be
more favorable for candidate sites, in the design and overall
development strategy for the project.
5.2.2 LCC shall contact each relevant local land use jurisdictions in
which any Search Ring is located to obtain zoning or other land
use information that may be significant in the zoning strategy for
development of the proposed use within that jurisdiction. Key
zoning aspects, such as site development standards, land use
policies, submittal requirements, processing timeframes,
restrictions, the likelihood of moratoria or other regulatory
delay, filing fees and hearing schedules, shall be considered as a
part of the Preliminary Zoning Investigation.
5.2.3 LCC shall prepare and provide to UbiquiTel, as part of the Site
Candidate Information Package described in SECTION 5.3.2, a brief
summary of key information determined in the Preliminary Zoning
Investigation. This summary shall include:
(a) Land use designations.
(b) Applicable site development standards such as height
restrictions, setbacks, screening requirements and
site area coverage limits.
(c) Application requirements, the approval process and
the estimated timeframe necessary to achieve zoning
approvals, including periods for appeals.
(d) Names, addresses, phone and position of contact(s)
in each relevant department.
5.2.4 LCC shall develop and recommend strategies and tactics for zoning
or other land use approvals that will be required based upon the
Preliminary Zoning Investigation and other information.
5.2.5 LCC shall notify UbiquiTel of any areas or zones considered to be
"difficult-to-zone", and shall make reasonable attempts to avoid
dependence on them as a part of the system design.
5.3 CANDIDATE SITE IDENTIFICATION, QUALIFICATION AND SELECTION
5.3.1 Upon issuance of the Search Ring, LCC shall perform a field search
for qualified sites meeting UbiquiTel's approved criteria. For
each Search Ring, LCC shall identify up to three (3) qualified
candidate sites which LCC believes meet the approved criteria.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LCC shall not be obligated to
identify or to provide other services for more than one (1)
candidate site in any Search Ring unless additional candidates
are required in order to identify at least one qualified
candidate that ultimately is acceptable as the Primary Site
Candidate (as defined in SECTION 5.3.6) for that Search Ring.
5.3.2 Except in cases where the respective information is not readily
available (in which case LCC shall provide a brief explanation of
the circumstances), LCC shall provide a Site Candidate Information
Package (the "SCIP") for each identified candidate site. The SCIP
shall contain relevant preliminary physical, ownership, location
and other information in order to assess the sites substantial
acceptability and consistency with approved criteria and
engineering parameters, and shall substantially include the
following:
(a) Search Ring information such as site designation,
name.
(b) Candidate property information such as location,
address, latitude/longitude coordinates, approximate
age of the structure, terrain (for raw land sites),
number of floors, approximate roof or tower height
and driving directions to the site.
(c) Ownership information such as name, address, phone
and contact information for the owner (and owner's
manager or representative, if applicable).
(d) Likely lease information such as estimated rent,
land lease amount, approximate premise size
available and lease feasibility comments.
(e) Access information such as hours and days of access
to premise access contact information, elevator
capacity and size, availability of access road,
presence of loading dock and availability for crane
operating space if necessary.
(f) RF characteristics of the site such as approximate
structure height, recommended height of antenna and
Rad Center, notations of observable obstructions,
likely antenna mounting heights, presence of other
AM, microwave or other communications facilities, RF
emitters, and high voltage lines.
(g) Preliminary zoning information such as name,
address, phone and contact for zoning agency, zoning
classification in which the property is located,
approval process and general
processing timeframe, and basic zoning development
standards and restrictions such as height and
setback limits.
(h) Approximately four (4) representative photographs
taken from the site and four (4) representative
photographs taken of the property from off-site.
(i) Other key relevant information that might affect the
feasibility and acceptability of the site.
5.3.3 LCC shall perform preliminary site-specific zoning research and
review for each identified candidate. LCC shall visit the site
and meet with appropriate representatives of the principal local
land use and zoning authority to discuss the proposed use and to
determine the relevant zoning environment affecting the site and
the proposed use. As a part of this research, LCC shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain copies of applicable zoning codes,
zoning application forms, application and hearing processes and
procedures and application fee amounts. Upon completion of the
research, all relevant data shall be stored and summarized as a
part of the SCIP described above.
5.3.4 LCC shall coordinate and attend a site qualification visit
(commonly referred to as the "Caravan Visit") for each candidate
site, if required, to make an on-site review of the property, to
obtain other relevant information not previously ascertained in
the initial site search, and to determine any further conditions
which might affect the site's acceptability or feasibility.
5.3.5 LCC shall review all data collected during the initial field
search, the investigations for qualified candidates, and the
Caravan Site Visits in order to ensure that it is adequately
informed of the site to enable LCC to make reasonable
recommendation of the site's acceptability and relative ranking
(as described below) to UbiquiTel.
5.3.6 Upon review and analysis of all known information affecting the
site, LCC shall complete a relative ranking of each site among the
others within the respective Search Ring. This relative ranking
will take into consideration all known zoning, construction, RF
(without drive test), lease and cost characteristics of the site
in the context of approved design and business parameters. This
ranking shall result in designation of one (1) of the candidate
sites as the site which LCC recommends for UbiquiTel's acceptance
(the "Primary Site Candidate"). In cases where identification of
only one candidate site is necessary in order to produce an
acceptable Primary Site Candidate, LCC shall, nevertheless,
complete a ranking of the site taking into consideration the
aspects above even though only one site is considered.
5.3.7 Upon completion of any drive test of the Primary Site Candidate as
described in SECTION 4.0 (RF Engineering Services), LCC shall
notify
UbiquiTel of the findings and recommendations for approval of
the Primary Site Candidate for acceptance. UbiquiTel's written
approval of the Primary Site Candidate shall be deemed as
authorization to proceed with the review of title and lease
negotiations.
5.3.8 Upon request by UbiquiTel, for each approved Primary Site
Candidate, LCC shall order, receive and review a preliminary title
report and all relevant underlying documents of record that might
have an impact on the site and the intended use. LCC shall advise
UbiquiTel of any identified adverse title conditions and make
recommendation to UbiquiTel for remedy of such conditions if
UbiquiTel elects to proceed with lease of the site. The
preliminary title report shall contain and address information
customarily included in a preliminary report in accordance with
the standards of the American Land Title Association. A copy of
the preliminary title report and all documents of record, together
with LCC's summary of the conditions of title for the site
(collectively referred to as "Preliminary Title Documents"), shall
be provided to UbiquiTel.
5.4 SITE LEASING

preliminary "design-definitive" plans to the extent such plans are
required for lease exhibits and shall request such plans in a
timely manner.
5.4.7 LCC shall continue to pursue lease negotiations until approval of
lease terms by UbiquiTel and the property owner and delivery to
UbiquiTel of an Executable Lease. For the purposes of this
paragraph, an Executable Lease shall mean a lease which (i) has
been signed by the landlord, and (ii) which contains terms
previously approved by UbiquiTel or which meet UbiquiTel's
previously approved criteria, and (iii) which is in a condition to
be signed by UbiquiTel without further approval of the landlord
and (iv) does not require extended negotiations. If, in LCC's
reasonable professional judgment, negotiations are not likely
result in an Executable Lease, or that consummation of the lease
may take an inordinate amount of time, LCC shall notify UbiquiTel,
in which case UbiquiTel shall advise LCC of it's election to
terminate negotiations or continue negotiations as an Out-of-Scope
Service.
5.4.8 For the purposes of all sites identified as a part of a new Master
Lease Opportunity (as defined in SECTION 5.1) the performance of
LCC's Services in this SECTION 5.4 shall apply on a site-by-site
basis for individual site licenses or leases only and shall not
include the negotiation of the actual master lease agreement. Upon
UbiquiTel's request, LCC shall, as an Out-of-Scope Service pursue
negotiations of a master lease for sites identified as a Master
Lease Opportunity until approval of terms by UbiquiTel and the
property owner and delivery to UbiquiTel of an executable master
lease.
5.4.9 Upon request by UbiquiTel, LCC shall, as an Out-of-Scope Service,
order and coordinate delivery to UbiquiTel a policy of title
insurance from a title insurer acceptable to UbiquiTel and subject
to terms and conditions acceptable to UbiquiTel.
5.5 ZONING
5.5.1 LCC shall secure the property owner's signature on any zoning
documents for which the owner's signature may be required.
