In addition, Magellan provided fiber design services for the clients listed below over the past three years. Mage//an ADV/SORB FIBER DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION REFERENCE: CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VA CONTACT Daniel Jones Chief Information Officer P:757.393.8398 x2117 Enol`" E:jonesd@portsmouthva.gov iW ,f "Our municipal fiber backbone fits right in with Council's vision of becoming a smart city and being prepared for the nextgeneration of technology" -Mayor John Rowe, City of Portsmouth CHALLENGE With significant growth,the City of Portsmouth's existing budget for telecommunications services was expected to double from $1 million to over$2 million peryear.To reduce its costs and create new capabilities,the City envisioned investing in its own fiber backbone.To do so,the City needed a partner that had planned, designed and built these networks in the municipal environment. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION In 2017, Magellan conducted a needs assessment and fiber master plan for the City.The master plan included a high-level design for a citywide fiber backbone,with accompanying cost estimates and a strategic business case.The business case showed by investing in the fiber,the City would eliminate 95% of its recurring telecommunications costs and own the fiber to support growing needs among city departments,external stakeholders and the community. In 2018, City Council approved the master plan and authorized the construction of the fiber network to 85 city, school,library, public safety,tower and other sites. Magellan developed the engineering design for the fiber network using 100% underground construction,with high capacity fiber and multiple levels of redundancy. Magellan's design process gave the City the most effective solution to build the network at the lowest cost. Upon completion of the design, Magellan was retained to procure the construction contractor and manage construction and inspections for the City. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS Today,the majority of the network has been built and the City is already realizing benefits of its investment. The City will connect each and every site at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, increasing site bandwidth to every facility. The network is connecting major community anchors like Tidewater Community College and other key stakeholders throughout the City. It will enable a new platform for innovation in traffic management, public safety, utilities management, and most importantly, it will Portsmouth as a Smart City for tomorrow. Mage//an ADV/SORB FIBER & WIRELESS NETWORK DESIGN REFERENCE: CITY OF CHESAPEAKE CONTACT _ Jay Krail Project Manager P:504.920.3181 E:jkrail@cityofchesapeake.net 'The deployment of fiber throughout the City will open doors and offer benefits that we have only begun to fathom.It is critical that we approach this project with a strategic mindset,and that's why we're so pleased to have Magellan Advisors on our team. They,along with our regional partners in Hampton Roads, will help us all take a giant leap into the future."-Rick West Mayor of Chesapeake CHALLENGE The City of Chesapeake, located in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, is currently experiencing a technology ecosystem boom.As the region flourishes,Chesapeake's leadership noticed a lack of resilient and accessible fiber infrastructure to support the City's technology initiatives and broadband services. In late 2019,the City engaged Magellan Advisors to lead the development of Chesapeake's Next Generation Network(C-NGN)in an effort to provide world-class fiber connectivity to the City's enterprises, partners, and the greater Hampton Roads region.The objectives included enhancing municipal services,promoting economic development,supporting education and creating a catalyst for future private investment in broadband. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION Magellan worked with the City to engineer the 170-mile C-NGN fiber-optic network and complementary smart city wireless overlay, branded Chesapeake Connects.Magellan conducted detailed assessment of each stakeholders'needs and developed the network design to maximize community use of the fiber. The network connects over 200 community facilities including city,school, library,hospital, public utility, public safety and traffic locations.The design also incorporates Chesapeake's economic development goals by ensuring that key business corridors are equipped with high-capacity fiber.Magellan Advisors engineered over 170-mile route miles of fiber,including fielding,low-level design,construction prints, permitting, master budgets and construction bids. In late 2020, Magellan's scope was expanded to determine how Chesapeake Connects will support organizations during and after the COVI❑-19 pandemic focusing on telehealth and remote education. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS Magellan's process of design,then bid,then build is giving the City best approach to minimize the cost of construction,select the most capable construction contractor and ensure rapid deployment of the network,which will start in 2021.The City of Chesapeake plans to begin construction by July 2421 and is working with Magellan to accelerate the timeline,targeting 18-24 months for completion of major construction related activities.

City Manager P:936.258.2642 E:citymanager@daytontx.org Reliable high-quality internet service is vital to both our residents and our businesses. "With gigabit service as a utility, our customers can expect service at a price that's cheaper than most national providers and a speed that exceeds anything currently offered in the area." -Theo Melancon, City Manager CHALLENGE In 2018, the City of Dayton contracted with Magellan Advisors to conduct a broadband study and engineering estimates for a fiber to the home network to reach 100% of the City's homes and businesses. The results of this study showed that the City could build the network and serve its community with gigabit internet services in a fiscally responsible way. In late 2019,the City secured over$13 million for the project and partnered with Magellan to conduct the full engineering design, business plan and construction procurements. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION In 2019, Magellan was selected to provide the City's fiber to the home engineering design, covering 100%of homes and businesses within the City. Magellan's engineering team created a blueprint for fiber backbone and distribution for the lowest possible cost and which would provide 1 and 10 gigabit high-speed internet services to homes and businesses from day 1. Magellan worked with the City to determine the best constructability methods,protect City rights of way and minimize construction impacts to the City. Magellan's field team walked every route in the City to ensure constructability and avoid any obstacles that would create construction delays. In 6 months, Magellan completed the engineering design, construction bid package, permitting packages and electronics design for the network, meeting the City's goal of moving into construction in January of 2021. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS In early January 2021, Magellan released the construction RFP with the City and received numerous bids. Magellan's bid process allowed for a highly competitive process,with the winning bidder providing a final price that was $3 million under the project budget.Today, Magellan is managing the entire construction and implementation process for the City and will assist the City launch services to the community in late 2021. Magellan46 ADV/SORB FIBER DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION REFERENCE: CITY OF HILLSBORO, OR CONTACT Greg Mont Information Services Director P: 503.681.5401 E:greg.mont@hillsboro-oregon.gov 'The partnership between the City and HSD is all about what's best for our community. We have a long history of working together to best serve our students and families, and this is another opportunity for us to do the right thing and make our schools and our community stronger." -Mike Scott, Hillsboro Schools District Superintendent CHALLENGE The City of Hillsboro and Hillsboro School District envisioned a joint partnership for a community owned fiber network to support schools'connectivity needs and enable a platform for world-class broadband. In 2017, the City and School district signed an agreement to co-build the network.The next step was to identify a partner that understood municipal fiber projects and could manage the complex engineering process at hand, creating two networks from one. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION The City of Hillsboro hired Magellan in 2017 to develop a citywide fiber backbone and fiber to the home broadband network. Magellan approached the design by working with School District staff to determine their most important needs- high bandwidth, reliability and redundancy across all schools. Through the planning process, Magellan designed a highly redundant, multi-ring fiber backbone to connect 34 schools with dark fiber. Concurrently, Magellan engineered an optimal fiber to the home architecture using the backbone network as a launchpad for broadband. Our design furnished the City with a blueprint for broadband across 44,000 homes and businesses. We provided detailed fielding, utility assessment, permitting, make-ready, prints, costing and as-builts for each phase of construction.The design delivers 1 and 10 gigabit capabilities natively in the network.To enable seamless deployment of the network,the City also selected Magellan to manage construction, given our deep experience constructing municipal fiber and our collaborative approach with the City's internal departments. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS Today, 34 schools are connected to the network, providing nearly unlimited bandwidth to support their current and future needs, while reducing its operating budgets by$200,000 annually.The fiber backbone and the first phase of fiber to the home construction have been completed to enable the City to launch its gigabit internet services to the first homes in Hillsboro. 2021 MAGELLAN ADVISORS PAGE 18 . ellan.16 ADV/SORB FIBER DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION REFERENCE: CITY OF MONT BELVIEU M B LINK CONTACT Nathan Watkins MONT BELVIEU FIBER NETWORK Assistant City Manager P: 281.576.2213 x228 E: nwatkins@mont-belvieu.net "Without Magellan, our network would have been double the estimated costs and taken longer to complete. We could not be more pleased with the level of service and professionalism and would highly recommend Magellan to any city looking for fiber solutions for their community." -Nathan Watkins,Assistant City Manager CHALLENGE After many attempts to persuade local providers to upgrade their internet services to support higher speeds and better reliability,the City realized that it needed to take action directly if it wanted to ensure its residents and businesses had access to world-class broadband.The City's challenge was how to build, launch a City-owned internet service without this core expertise in house.The City needed a turnkey solutions partner that could plan, engineer, construct and launch a broadband network to meet the needs of its community. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION To implement the network,the City looked to Magellan to engineer, construct and launch the fiber to the home network. Magellan provided a dedicated team of broadband engineers and planners that managed all facets of design, construction and operational support. Our engineering team designed a scalable 10-gigabit GPON-based network to reach 100% of homes and businesses within the City.We advised the City on optimizing the design to support rapid construction, which was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Our team provided all fielding, constructability analysis, low-level design, construction prints, permitting and as-builts. On completion of engineering,we managed the bid process, identified contractors and provided construction management, equipment integration, beta testing and go-to-market launch of the City's internet services over the 24-month deployment. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS One year after launch,the Houston Chronicle claimed that Mont Belvieu"May have the best internet in Texas."The City provides gigabit Internet to homes and businesses at prices less than the competition and with no data caps. For$75 per month, residents receive 1 gigabit internet service and an in-home gigabit gateway router.To date, over 70% of residents have signed up for service. 2021 MAGELLAN ADVISORS PAGE 19 . ellan.16 ADV/SORB FIBER DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION REFERENCE: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA CONTACT Fred Lyn x -- _,_11 Utility Division Manager P: 909.477.2740 ext.4035 E:fred.lyn@cityofrc.com "Today this infrastructure plays a crucial role in Rancho Cucamonga, not only in economic development, but will be pivotal in the long-term sustainability and future planning of the City. Rancho Fiber has arrived." -Fred Lyn, Utilities Division Manager CHALLENGE City leadership recognizes that fiber-optic infrastructure is an important part of the Rancho Cucamonga community.They understand that in today's world, connectivity affects every aspect of the community-whether in municipal operations, public safety, education, healthcare, quality of life, entertainment and commerce.To realize leadership's vision,the City needed a partner that could develop and manage the expansion of fiber-based broadband across the City in a measured approach that achieved the City's financial constraints while expanding access in year-by-year deployments across the City. MAGELLAN'S SOLUTION In 2016, Magellan worked with the City to develop a fiber master plan and engineering assessment that laid out a multi-year plan for new aerial and underground fiber deployment throughout the City,totaling$12 million over 6 years. Since adopting the master plan in 2017, Magellan has designed and built the first three phases of the fiber to the premises network. In this work,we have provided full engineering,fielding, utility assessments, pole and make ready planning, construction prints and bid packages.We also manage construction as an owner's representative for the City in the fiber build, ensuring that the construction contractor meets our engineering specifications developed for the City, with tight quality control and within the budget. OUR CLIENT'S SUCCESS Today,the City has connected neighborhoods and business corridors, enabling gigabit broadband services to residents and businesses across the City. Residential customers receive gigabit service for$69.99 per month,giving them nearly 5 times the bandwidth for a lower cost than is available in the market today.
