The precedinQ specifications are based on scientific Atlanta EQuipment
recommendations, which are planned for utilization. Should eauipment type be
substituted, equal or better specifications will be met.
Cox Cable Lubbock has determined that a 26 month construction period is required
for the rebuild. Prior to the commencement of any physical construction, an
evaluation of the city will be made to detennine make-ready preparation and
insure electronic layout integrity (This work is included in the 26 month time
frame).
The completion of this preparatory work will then ·allow commencement of
construction in the fourth quarter, 1948. The phasin~ for the construction is
noted on the build map designated Exhibit D.
An Event Matrix is on the next paqe.
Company will furnish free drops from the suhscriber network at each public
school, each city fire station and each city facility included in the I-Net upon
written request of the City or LISD, provided that such does not require the
extension of the system more than 300 feet.
r (
Reconstruction shall include replacement of all trunk, feeder cable>
amplifiers and passives, with the exception of the 25 miles built in
1983 and 1984. The rebuild will be complet~d with the following

Phase 3
Will begin at the existing head end site and extend
north to the Texas Tech campus area, south to Loop .
289, east to Avenue Q and west to the Brownfield High-
way. This area is primarily aerial plant including a
large portion of th~ city's apartment complexes.
Will include all remaining areas inside Loop 289 and
extending outside the Loop to the north·. This phase ·
will complete the rebuild of all plant built before
1970, while allowing time for coordination with the
North-South freeway construction on the east, the
Santa Fe Railroad to the north and west.
Will include all the remaining areas outside of Loop
289 to the west and south. This area is primarily
single dwelling homes serviced by underground feeder
and aerial trunk lines.
Reconstruction phases may vary as required by final design and
completion of system make-ready. Timing could be dictated by
necessary utility company work and permitting required by other
authorities.
C
Subscriber System
Cox Cable Lubbock will rebuild all plant cons~ructed prior to 1983.
Prior to commencement o"f any construction, an experienced design team;
including the senior technical personnel from Cox Cable Lubbock, will
identify all technical areas of concern in the existing system. Re-.
sulting from this will be a plant design that best addresses the
present and future requirements of the city, while allowing a construc-
tion timetab~e with minimum disruptions to existing subscribers.
Construction will be perfomed according to codes and practices de-
scribed in the Cox Engineering Standards Manual, the National Electric
Code, National Electric Safety Code, Occ1:1pa~ionalSafety and H_ealth
Administration requirements, state and local c_odes, and local utility
company codes and practices.
Plant reconstruction will be completed within the eighteen months
from start of construction. The eighteen month period is divided
into three phases:
o Phase 1 reaching 43% of total hemes.
o Phase 2 reaching 30% of total homes.
o Phase 3 reaching the remaining 27% of homes.
Included in each phase ,\~11 be sub-phases averaging
4 to 5 miles.
