Over the course of the past ten (10) months, I have had the pleasure of working with Randy on the P201-A Fiber Optic Project on the new Denver international Airport. During this time I have found Randy to be extremely competent and easy to work with. His knowledge of Fiber Optic Systems is • unsurpassed. In addition, he has been responsible for overseeing training and monitoring the Quality of the Installation on this Project. Randy has been offered a position which will allow him to further expand his knowledge and expertise in the Fiber Optic Field, although we will be hard pressed to replace him, we would be remiss if we were to prohibit his growth in this field. Should you have any further questioning regarding Mr. Simon, please feel free to contact me at this number (303) 286-8000. • Sincerely, Michael Lin 3ist Project Manager ML/jv cc:file Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc 1,150 E 112th Ave Henderson, CO 80840 103 286 8000 Fax 303 286 1311 0 Coloxgo JJUniverslry Knowledge to Go Places Academic Computing and Networking Services University Services Center 2028 Campus Delivery Fort Collins, Colorado 80523-2028 (970) 491-5133 FAX: (970) 491-1958 Letter of Reference For Mr. Randy Simon I am preparing this correspondence on behalf of Mr. Randy Simon, whom I have known for almost 6 years. For over five of these years, Mr. Simon, as Manager of our fiber optic plant, reported directly to me. In other times during these six years, I have had intimate knowledge of his activities. During this time, I have had ample opportunity to observe his performance, professionalism, work ethic, supervisory skills, and ability to communicate with others. It is from this informed perspective that I proffer this recommendation. Mr. Simon currently serves as the Manager of our fiber optic plant at Colorado State University, a large, research University located in Fort Collins, Colorado. Our fiber optic plant spans multiple campuses, and encompasses hundreds of varied, distributed buildings. The University's position is that fiber is a strategic imperative as the underlying infrastructure over which University constituents will develop, transmit and access content, and communicate and interact among themselves and with others. The fiber plant supports the University's Local Area Network that currently encompasses over 20,000 networked devices that serve over 45,000 University constituents. In short, the University believes that its fiber optic plant is extremely important, and it has devoted the resources to build, operate, maintain, and enhance it. Principal among these resources is Mr. Simon, who I submit is the best optic fiber Manager in higher education in this region of the country. Further to illustrate the scope of Mr. Simon's activities, I describe our optic fiber infrastructure. The outside plant (OSP) encompasses high -count single -mode optic fiber connections among the multiple campuses and hundreds of mutli- and single -mode optic fiber cables running among hundreds of buildings within each campus. The inside plant (ISP) encompasses in -building mutli- and single -mode optic fiber distribution from the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) where telecommunications services, including OSP optic fiber, enter the building, to all Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDF's) within each building. The scope and range of our optic fiber plant exceeds that at any other institution of higher education in the region. Mr. Simon has strategic and operational responsibility for this entire optic fiber infrastructure. Recently, the University established a Wide Area Network Next Generation Networking optic fiber connection off campus, encompassing two optical end nodes and a mid -span optical regeneration node. Mr. Simon was responsible for the layer-1 design and implementation. The • project went exceedingly well. In addition, Mr. Simon, as the recognized optic fiber expert from higher education in the state, is serving as higher educations representative in an optic fiber project with the Colorado n LJ Department of Transportation. He is the principal technical support architect, planning the layer-1 design for the project that spans almost 100 miles, involving numerous end -to -end splices, multiple lateral splices and several termination nodes. This project is of great strategic importance to higher education in the state. Mr. Simon has expertise in the following areas ❑ Outside plant design and specifications ❑ Inside plant design and specifications ❑ Contractor supervision ❑ Optic fiber cable installation, testing and certification ❑ Fusion splicing ❑ Fiber terminations of all types ❑ Optical Time -Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) testing, and result interpretation ❑ Optical fiber technology, industry standards and trends In addition, Mr. Simon has served as a fiber optic technician on several large, extremely important projects, including: ❑ Anchorage International Airport ❑ Denver International Airport ❑ Alaska pipeline ❑ Thailand pipeline • ❑ Traffic control, Grand Forks, North Dakota ❑ General Motors, Lansing Michigan Numerous others are listed on his resume. In conclusion, I would be remiss were I not to mention Mr. Simon's exceptionally high standards for high quality that permeates everything he does. As an example of this, a typical fusion splice accomplished by Mr. Simon is barely noticeable on an OTDR trace (well less than 0.05 dB). His exacting and uncompromising standards for high quality have resulted in an optic fiber plant at the University that is the best in the region among institutions of higher education. We have never had a problem with our optic fiber that has been due to an issue of poor quality. Indeed, our mantra is that after a fiber optic install is completed, we can forget about having any problems. Should you have need of staff in the area of fiber optic plant, I urge you to consider Mr. Simon as an excellent candidate to serve those needs. I should be happy to be contacted for additional information. Sincerely yours, �C2 Patrick J.

I believe quality workmanship and material gains respect in an industry that has been alittle cloudy in the past. I retired from CSU Telecommunications Dept. in March of 2009 and started a company called Universal Lightguide Technology Distribution, Inc. ( ULTD, Inc. ). 1 cannot seem to let it go quite yet, even after 25 years. I've installed and terminated the first intra-building cable at CSU about 24 years ago as a contractor. After the first cable was in, Howard Lowell ( Director of Telecom ) said that would probably be the last fiber they would put in. Weeks later they had more requests subject to pushing data further distances. I stayed very busy as a contractor for CSU until I was relocated to Houston, TX for Universal Engineering Services, Inc. Worldwide pipeline projects was their niche and they incorporated fiber optic cable along pipelines as valve control links between pump stations. To make a long story short worldwide travel and Houston, TX grew tiring so I moved back to Colorado. Shortly after moving back I accepted a position as a Quality Control Manager at DIA. I was responsible for setting up curriculum and training methods for the Local 67 , Electricians Union in Denver for Sturgeon Electric Company. My other duties were to advise Sturgeon Electric, the DIA Project Management Team and the City of Denver the steps to take in qualifying material and workmanship standards to be met for the F-201A contract. As the contract neared completion, I accepted a job with Colorado State University. It was then that the real work started, CSU had found that there entire coaxial network was failing and that the fiber connections were working flawlessly. It was at that point we began building one of the largest fiber optic networks in the nation. Higher Ed and CDOT combined efforts to expand connectivity from the Front Range GigaPop in Denver to CSU Pueblo Campus all the way north to the • University of Wyoming in Laramie.

It is the responsibility of this position to devise the general outline and vision for ongoing and future plans of the fiber optic network for the Office of Telecommunications. In addition, this position must attend seminars and conferences within the fiber optic field to further his communications knowledge and the process of changing and updating our services. I want to express my genuine appreciation for the constant support, determination and participation that I receive from Randy. Randy's excellent work performance does not go unnoticed throughout campus. The merit of this employee is exceptional. 0 MEMORANDUM To: Mary Ann Valdez From: Julian Kateley Interim Direct Office of Tele ommunica, s Subject: Support by Appointing Authority for Staff Authority CSU is totally dependent on the technical expertise of Randy Simon who is the person at CSU who has the training, knowledge, experience and skill .to design, construct, manage, operate and maintain the CSU fiber optic cable plant and related facilities. The fiber optic cable plant is an integral and essential part of the voice, video and data network system at CSU. The design and construction of the fiber optic cable plant additions demand a through understanding of the requirements, knowledge of current design practices, observance of relevant standards, the ability to analyze requirements and synthesize these requirements with current practice, and the skill to combine these elements into a design consistent with the currently installed facilities as well as cost and time constraints. Designs for addition to the fiber optic cable plant must result in facilities of the highest possible quality such that service is excellent and cost of maintenance is minimal. The execution of the design, that is, the actual construction, must be carried out with the best possible workmanship so as to preserve the designed quality and serviceability and, in particular, the best possible materials must be employed and must be properly installed. Furthermore, the construction requires proper use of the proper tools and the use of extremely precise and expensive equipment for the polishing, termination and fusion splicing of the fiber strands which are several times smaller in diameter than a human hair. Proper use of this equipment requires extensive and recurring training. The fusion splices produced by Randy are extremely good, typically resulting in a loss of 1/2 dB or less. Fiber optic cable must be handled with great care during installation and is subject to damage resulting from excessive pulling or bending. The fiber optic cable plant that is in place today at CSU is of the most current design and will be usable for many years. As a result CSU is well positioned to meet demands for increased bandwidth for voice, video and data services. There has been an explosive growth in the use of these facilities in the past five years with use doubling each year. This increase is expected to continue since the CSU data usage is now increasing by a factor of three each year July 18, 1997 Page 1 of 2 •'Management, operation and maintenance of the fiber optic cable plant requires that Randy be provided with all necessary tools and equipment. The equipment used to test the fiber is very expensive to purchase and must be kept in constant calibration. Use of this test equipment requires extensive training and diagnostic skill. The test results must be input to a computer which maintains a database of fiber optic cable performance. Since we must achieve minimal downtime, Randy is required to provide on -site emergency restoration of service. Furthermore, Randy must provided information used to maintain complete and detailed documentation of the fiber optic cable plant describing not only the physical topology of the plant but also the photonic characteristics of the plant. The laser beam emanating from a strand of fiber can destroy a person's eye in a few seconds so strict safety precautions must be observed when working with optical fiber. Randy must maintain the physical security of the fiber optic cable plant and the related facilities including the equipment that houses the fiber cable itself. Other people must not have access to the fiber optic cable plant or related facilities so as to prevent injury to these people, to insure protection from damage to these delicate items and also to minimize improper or illegal access to voice or data transmissions. The occasional reconfiguration of the fiber optic cables must be done with extreme care to avoid damage and contamination. • cc: R.

USDA Federal Project @ NWRC Location: West LaPorte Ave., Fort Collins, CO Contact: Tony Peretta # 970) 226-6362 Project: NWRC had a high end CCTV video camera installation located at strategic points throughout the property. The wiring used originally was interior grade wire, not an OSP environment. The cameras stopped working shortly after the site was occupied by federal researchers several years ago. Tony needed the cameras working to gain the level of security they needed. The cameras were on light poles with only a • small base at the bottom. My recommendation to them was to use singlemode fiber with a di- electric sheath composition. The environment in the area for this cable demands high performance specifications because of lighting ( EMI ). I then provided them with design drawings and a material list of the components required to produce a working system. , I used singlemode APC/FC duplex pigtails at the camera locations to reduce reflection loss and produce sharper video pixels at the headend. The camera locations were to small for a patch panel, so I had a pouch made to protect the splice tray from moisture and dirt at the base of the light pole housing. At the headend I used APC/SC connectors for ease of connectivity at the user end, and housed it in an ADC wall • mount patch panel that complimented the other equipment in the room. • 4.a.7.
