Amended Terms and Conditions
The following amendments shall take precedence over the terms and conditions in the original
RFP document and Exhibit C.
Exceptions to Section I General:
Item # Description
18 Valmont proposes that it would be liable for liquidated damages on
account of the late delivery of a structure(s) in an amount equal to one
percent (1.0%) of the purchase price of the late structure(s) for each week
they are late. Valmont Newark and the City would agree upon a delivery
schedule and certain milestones which must be satisfied by the City in
order for Valmont Newmark to meet the delivery schedule. Examples of
key milestones are the issuance of the purchase order, approval of
calculations, and approval of drawings. The agreed upon delivery
schedule and milestones would be set forth in the purchase order.
Exceptions to Section VI Standard Purchase Terms and Conditions:
Item # Description
Delete the phrase "and accepts" in the second line of Section 5. Risk of
loss for the deliverables should pass to the City at the time the City or its
contractor takes possession of the deliverables.
7 Add immediately following the first sentence of Section 7: "If the City
has not given written notice of acceptance or rejection of deliverables
within twenty (20) days of their delivery to the destination point specified
in the Contract/Purchase Order, the deliverables shall be deemed accepted
by the City effective on the twentieth (20`") day following their delivery."
17 Add the following phrase after the word "Contract" in the second line of
Section 17: "for purposes of confirming the correctness of invoices
submitted by Contractor to the City for deliverables sold to the City under
the Contract/Purchase Order and for such other purposes as may be
required under applicable law."
RFP 5404
19 Delete Parts A and C of Section 19. Because each project for each
customer is unique, Valmont Newmark is not able to provide the pricing
assurances required under Section 19.
21 Insert the word (as punctuated with a comma) "merchantable," between
the word "be" and the word "free" in the second line of the first paragraph
of Section 21.
Insert the phrase "accepted utility" between the word "and" and the word
"industry" in the fifth line of the first paragraph of Section 21.
Delete the phrase "or any warranty implied by law" in the first line of Part
B of Section 21.
Add the following as the final sentence of Part C of Section 21: "The
repair or replacement by Contractor of any defective or non-conforming
deliverables, and the payment by Contractor of all costs incidental to such
repair or replacement, shall be the exclusive remedies available to the City
and the only obligations of Contractor with respect to a breach of any of
the foregoing warranties.
If Contractor fails to repair or replace any defective or non-conforming
deliverables in accordance with this Part C, the City shall also have
available to it the remedies described in Part D below."
31 Insert the following sentence at the end of Part B of Section 31: "The
obligations of Contractor under this Section 31 shall expire in their
entirety and be of no further force or affect whatsoever on the fifth (Stn)
anniversary of the final delivery of deliverables under the
Contract/Purchase Order."
32 Please see attached for comments and proposed changes to the insurance
requirements in Section 32.
Amended Specifications to Desi�n
The design information included with this proposal is preliminary in nature and may be refned
after the award of an order. Valmont's intent is to meet the inquiry specification with the
following engineering comments. Please review these, along with the design information
enclosed, to assure that we have correctly interpreted the inquiry requirements.
Prefitting of components or match-marking is not included in our proposal. The fabrication
tolerances and detailing practices used assure ft as well as interchangeability. Our standard
method for identifying sections assures correct section orientation and provides a reference
point for measure of slip distance.
The distance between the bottom conductor phase and the top distribution phase was assumed to
be 12', on structure type TUS-7GXU. It was also assumed that the distribution arms would be
provided by others.
RFP 5404
DESIGN
Design is based on the following publications:
• ASCE/SEI 48-11, "Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures"
• ANSI/NEMA TT 1-1983 "Tapered Tubular Steel Structures"
• ACI 318-83 (flc=2500 psi)
A 0.25 degree ground line rotation is included in the design of all structures.
Point of fixity for embedded structures is assumed to be at the ground line.
Our design calculations are based on static loads. Wind induced vibration is believed to be more
likely to happen when structures (or components such as arms) are installed without insulators
and conductors. It is considered good practice for installers to attach at least some equipment to
each arm at the time of installation of the structure. See I002 attached.
Cambering is included on structures that exceed the 10 inch deflection limitation for the
everyday load case. Camber costs have been included at this time for those structures.
MATERIAL
The following materials will be used:
shaft and attachment plate: (Galvanized)
thk <= 1.25" Valmont S-22 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 65, Heat test)
1.25" < thk< 4" Valmont 5-56 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 50, Heat test)
thk<=4" Valmont 5-221 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 60, Plate test)
anchor bolts: Valmont 5-23 (exceeds ASTM A615 Gr. 75)
connection bolts: ASTM A325
nuts/washers: matching the bolts used
ANCO type locknuts are provided for connection bolts other than anchorage
FABRICATION
Bolt holes will be 0.13" larger than the nominal bolt diameter, except for anchor bolt holes in
base plates which will be 2.63" in diameter.
Caged anchor bolts will be provided as shown in the attached sketch. Note that the bottom
template is welded to the anchor bolt at a point below the required bond length.
Identi�ication markings will be stamped into plates welded to the components.
Slip joint tolerance: +6", -(1.872/Taper + K)
where: Taper = diameter change per foot of length (in/ft)
K = 9.9 - 0.082(D/t)
D= top diameter of male section (inches)
t= thickness of male section (inches)
Tolerances for fabrication shall meet Valmont's M-1 specification attached.
RFP 5404
Welding and weld inspection will be performed in accordance with Valmont's W-22
specification attached.
Weld joint details will have either the prequalifed or qualified joint status in accordance with
the AWS D1.1 code.
Attachment vangs will extend thru the pole shaft eliminating the need for doubler or reinforcing
plates.
Vang-to-pole shaft welds will be fillet or partial penetration groove welds (with or without a
fillet overlay) sized for the strength rec�uirements of the joint. These welds are qualified in
accordance with A W S D 1.1.
The arm-to-bracket weld has been standardized as a partial penetration groove weld with fillet
overlay sized to develop the full strength of the arm section. This weld detail is fully inspectable
per AWS acceptance criteria and develops the full strength of the arm while maintaining thru-
thickness stress levels per ASCE allowables.
FINISH SPECIFICATIONS
Hot-dip Galvanizing of Members per Valmont Specification F-1 (exceeds ASTM A123).
Hot-dip Galvanizing of Hardware per Valmont Specification F-2 (ASTM A153).
Chemthane coating meeting Valmont F-398 specification is proposed for below grade
protection.
SSPC SP8 surface preparation will precede galvanizing. Exposed welds will be mechanically
cleaned.
A maximum galvanizing thickness will not be guaranteed.
INSPECTION
Base plate material shall be ultrasonically inspected per ASTM A435 and Valmont WI 10.04
Certified test reports are obtained from our suppliers for:
1. structural steel plates and shapes
2. connecting hardware
3. welding electrodes and flux
4. rebar used for anchor bolts
Formed plates will be visually inspected for cracking. Magnetic particle inspection will
supplement the visual inspection in questionable areas.
Inspection records in the form of "Traveler Cards" will follow the components through the
fabrication process.
The third part inspection agency should be approved by Valmont.
RFP 5404
Systems are in place that will provide the following levels of test report traceability:
1. direct, one-to-one traceability to pole shafts and base plates
2. batch to other structural components
The test reports and inspection records are maintained at Valmont. When requested, these can be
provided to the customer no sooner than two weeks after the fabrication of the component.
We recommend the turn-of-nut tightening method explained in the AISC Steel Construction
Manual specification. Torque values for bolts will not be provided.
DRAWINGS/CALCULATIONS
Preliminary drawings showing standard features and options are included with proposal.
Final designs and drawings will be submitted on a schedule determined by the required shipping
dates.
Valmont standard drawings and details shall be supplied and shall include the following
information:
1. - erection drawings, will include the following:

substantially drafted by one party, it is the intent of the parties that all provisions be construed in a manner to be fair
to both parties, reading no provisions more strictly against one party or the other. Whenever a term deiined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted by the State of Texas, is used in the Contract, the UCC definition shall
control, unless otherwise defned in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to negotiate prior to
prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing of a lawsuit to toll the running of a
statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party may make a written request for a meeting between
representatives of each party within fourteen (14) calendar days a8er receipt of the request or such later period as
agreed by the parties. Each party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making
authority regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thiriy (30) calendae days after such meeting, the parties have not
succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to mediation as described below.
Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both parties, in which event the parties may proceed
directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation process, the
parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation skills to assist with resolution of
the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the Supplier agree to act in good faith in the selection of the
mediator and to give consideration to qualifed individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract
prevents the parties from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subject matter of the dispute or a
contract interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of initiation
of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative Dispute Resolution
Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith for up to thirty (30) calendar days from
the date of the first mediation session. The City and the Supplier will share the mediator's fees equally and the
parties will bear their own costs of participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to
represent them or otherwise assist them in the mediation.
50. JURISDICTION AND VENUE: The Contract is made under and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm.
Code, Chapter 1, excluding any rule or principle that would refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or
jurisdiction. All issues arising from this Contract shall be resolved in the couets of Denton County, Texas and the
parties agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure injunctive relief from
any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract shall in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the Contract. Any void provision shall be
deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the Contract shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract
did not contain the particular portion or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to
replace any stricken provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken

SUPPLY OF GALVANIZED
STEEL TRANSMISSION POLES
FOR THE CITY OF DENTON
INTRODUCTION (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY) —1 Page Maximum
Briefly descrlbe your understanding of the requested services, imporfant issues, and City requlrements.
As the industry leader for utility structures, Valmont Newmark is very familiar with the challenges that can
come with projects of this size. So many challenges come into play with projects like this. There are
various moving parts, like suppliers to deal with, contractors, subcontractors, contracts, contract
management, field issues, timelines to keep, budgets to stay within, and on the list goes.
An example that I think may be at play here would be the acquisition of Right of Way. This can be a
problem in small towns, much less a city the size of Denton in such a metropolitan area, We have seen
challenges in the past with Right of Way issues and how that can derail momentum by the city, by forcing
changes to routes, which sometimes forces changes to structures, which forces suppliers to be quick to
react, so as not to impact the customer (City of Denton). To mitigate these risks, you need to choose a
supplier that is familiar with these obstacles, and team with you to overcome them,
Valmont Newmark has the financial resources and position to fully support the City of Denton's
transmission structure needs with our Global Utility Industry leadership in capacity, capability and project
management approach. Valmont Newmark's industry leadership position in capacity (11 steel facilities
and 6 concrete in North America) is only part of the resources needed to effectively complete a project of
this size. Our resources and expertise in large projects is unparallelled and provides the nimbleness that
is needed to identify, manage and mitigate the risks associated with such project. Understanding and
managing large project risks is key to the successful completion of this project.
With Valmont's plant "just down the road" in Mansfield, we would hope that there would be a feeling of
comfort from The City of Denton in working with us to tackie these challenges described above. Though
Valmont is a global company, it is also local in the DFW metroplex, having several members of the project
team, our manufacturers representative, and a field response crew supported by skilled fit up and
welding personnel that can be deployed within 24 hours of a field requirement.
Valmont understands your challenges and is excited to partner with you to tackle them.

I. I am looking thraugh the designs for the RFQ and I do not see a drawing for Design
TPS-138DCX. Ts this the same design as the TPS-138DC only with an anchor caged
faundation instead of embedrnent?
TPS-138DCX is on an anchor bolt foundation. The embedinent note shauld havc
been deleted. Tl�e pole is configured far 2 static wii•es. Not� the additional static line
load on the pole,
2, Would you vea•ify for us section 9, subsection C under deflection on page 10 of 13
(TCCI1T11C1I SpeC1fIC�t10riS Exhibit 2)? The two percent of pole height for the
deflection for all stiuctures and all load cases seems excessive.
9.c shall now refercnce switcll struct.ures only.
9. Cu��tbeY:
a. Unlcss otheitivise noted on the design det�il, the steel poles desi�;ncd fo�•
eccenta�ic lo�ding or line angles shal] be cambered to eount.eract thc
eccerltric loads or. li»e tensions at 60 degrees FahrenheiC. Shop camber
is required if tltc pole tnp deflection is 10 inches or more,
b. CamUer direction or Rake distance and direcCion shall be provided i=or
each structure and shal] be clearly labeled on each structure drawing,
c. Tlac switen structures sliall not exceed a two percent (2%) of.'pole heiglYt
c�eflection limit for any load case.
3. TPS-138DCX dwg is not available in the specs.
See the attached supplemental drawiugs for Exllibit 4.
4. Drawing DC19-'UG on str list should be DC1P-UG as per the available drawings,
Con•ect, that was a typo in thc specifcations
5. From load tree diagram, it Iooks like all the loads at each point (bundled, double
circuit) is resolved and pravided as one point load. So, given loads are applied as
point load on pole directly without arnzs or insulators. Say for example, dwg TUS-
7GAU will have 6 poiiit loads (1 SW, 3 COND & 2 DIST) only. With this no
conductor & distribution ai-ms will have designs.
RFP 5404
Exhibit E
� . ,�,
Divide the resolved loads by tl�e wire quantity to get the individual poiilt loads on the
arms,
6. Also it is a little unclear as io who will be supplying the distribution crossarms. Is
detail TC-9S just a reference for use in designing the distributian ann or is it to show
the ag°ms you have that will be used?
The pole manufacturer should include tl�e steel distribution arms in their proposal.
The iiberglass arms are shown f:or reference onLy.

Exhibit E
Addendum #2 to be returned with Praposal
The following questions and clari�ications have been provided:
1) Please see additional drawing in Exhibit 4 TUS-7GXU attached.
2) Base plate steel type. City specification states:
Base Plates: MaEerials used to construct galvanized steel base plates shall
conform to ASTMA-572, latest revision entitled High Strength, Low Alloy,
Columbium-Vanadium Steels of Structural Quality, Grade 60, A-588 0�• A-633,
modified to provide minirnum yield strength of 60 ksi.
The availability of grade 60ksi base plate steel is quite limited which leads to very
long lead time. We propose to use ASTM A572 Grade 50 for base plate up to 4"
thick and use A5TM A350 Grade L]F6 Class 2 forging steel for base plate more
than 4" thick on galvanized poles. Is that acceptable?
The substitution of ASTM A572 and ASTM A350 is acceptable.
NO OTHER CHANGES AT THiS TIME.
This fos°ni should be signed and returned with your praposal.

1) Xcel Energy, Southwest Minnesota Wind Transmission Project along with the Brigo project that
was added, The total dollar value was around $45M and consisted of approximately 1000
structures. The structures were Galvanized Single pole construction witl� arms and on anchor bolt
foundations. The structures were designed for 345kV single and double circuit and 115kV single
and double circuit. The project was broken up inCo 10 segments. On time deliveries were key as
this line had to be constructed and energized for the hook up to the new wind farm. The
deliveries spanned from Apri12007 to November 2008. Some of the key things that lead to the
success of the project are as follows;
• Valmont engineers worked closely with BM engineers in the pre-planning stage to
come up with the most efficient designs and come up with the fewest design families
possible.
• A dedicated project management team was put in place.

2) PacifiCorp- The Populus-to-Terminal transmission line is the first 130-mile segment in
PacifiCorp's Energy Gateway Transmission Expansion project. Work began At the end-points in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and Downey, Idaho, in February 2009, to be in-service by year-end 2010
(structure delivery concluding 11/09). This approximately 135-mile line was a double circuit
345kV project. There were a total of 914 structures and over 6700 arms which were large poles in
and of themselves. The project had an accelerated delivery schedule that Valmont-Newmark
achieved on time within an eleven month time frame. The arm requirements alone would have
plugged any other competitors capacity. Valmont Newmark leveraged 5 of our domestic utility
division facilities and mitigated a 6 week project schedule delay caused by the owner. This
project was completed and had no impact to our performance on many other Alliance Partners
which demonstrates our ability to do several large projects without impacting our customers
fluctuating project requiremenrts and schedule. With 9 steel and 6 conerete plants Valmont
Newmark was able to take on this large project and still meet the large project demands of our
alliance accounts demonstrating the capacity and project experience to manage risk and reduce
cost. Valmont Newmark after award of bid used our Pro-Venture process to find a documented
cost reduction of over $3M on this project.
3) Allegheny Energy — Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company (TrAILCo), a subsidiary of
Allegheny Energy lnc., 500-kV transmission line extending from Southwestern Pennsylvania to
West Virginia to Northern V irginia. Valmont-Newmark delivered a total of 133, SOOkV H-Frame
structures for this project from 4/09 to 10/09. All structures were manufactured and shipped from
the Hazleton, PA facility on time.
4) APS-The North Valley SOOkV Project was delivered on time. There were a total of 112 siructures
on this project.
5) Southern California Edison- Antelope - Pardee SOOkV project for Southern California Edison
required 70 cantilever poles. Single circuit on arms in a delta configuration. All tangent to 3
degrees, except two ruuning angle poles for a maximum line angle of 25 degrees. Structure
heights reached a maximum of 180'. Project was delivered on time.
RFP 5404
Exhibit E
6) Florida Power & Light- This project required SOOkV weathering steel H-frames with battered
legs. The structure was full scale tested at the EPRI testing facilifiies in Haslet, Texas. Height
tested was 127.3 feet & weighed 29K Ibs. Approximately 100 structures were provided for this
project.
7) Cross Texas Transmission- This was a double circuit, weathering steel, embedded and anchor
based 345kV CREZ Project. It featured arms that were the size of small poles themselves,
around 40' in length. This 235 mile project was delivered on time and in 19-20 months.
8) South Texas Electric Cooperative — This was a double circuit capable, single circuit delivered
galvanized, embedded and anchor based 345kV CREZ Project. This 200 mile project delivered
on time and in around 13 months.

The design information included with this proposal is preliminary in nature and may be reftned after the award of
an order. Valmont's intent is to meet the inquiry specifcation with the following engineering comments. Please
review these, along with the design information enclosed, to assure that we have correctly interpreted the inquiry
requirements.
Prefitting of components or match-markin� is not included in our proposal. The fabrication tolerances and
detailing practices used assure fit as well as interchangeability. Our standa�•d method for identifying sections
assures correct section orientalion and provides a reference point for measure of slip distance,
The distance between the bottom conductor phase and the top distribution phase was assumed to be 12', on
structure type TUS-7GXU. It was also assumed that the distribution arms would be provided by others.
DESIGN
Design is based on the following publications:
• ASCE/SEI 48-11, "Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures"
• ANSI/NEMA TT 1-1983 "Tapered Tubular Steel Structures"
• ACI 318-83 (f c=2500 psi)
A 0.25 degree ground I'rne rotatioyi is included in the design of all structures.
Point of �xity for embedded structures is assumed to be at the ground line.
Our design calculations are based on static loads. Wind induced vibration is believed to be rnore likely to happen
when structures (or components such as arms) are installed without insulators and conductors. It is considered
good practice for installers to attach at least some equipment to each arm at the time of installation of the
structure. See I002 attached.
Cambering is included on structures that exceed the 10 inch deflection limitation for the everyday load case.
Camber costs have been included at this time for those structures,
MATERIAL
The following materials will be used:
shaft and attachment plate: (Galvanized)
thk <= 1.25" Valmont 5-22 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 65, Heat test)
1.25" < thk< 4" Valmont S-S6 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 50, Heat test)
thk<=4" Valmont 5-221 (exceeds ASTM A572, Gr 60, Plate test)
anchor bolts: Valmont 5-23 (exceeds ASTM A615 Gr. 75)
connection bolts: ASTM A325
nuts/washers: matching the bolts used
ANCO type locknuts are provided for connection bolts other than anchorage
FABRICATION
