Common use of Coordinated Testing Clause in Contracts

Coordinated Testing. At Sprint's request, upon issuance of the LSR, and as specified therein, VERIZON will conduct coordinated testing of unbundled loops with SPRINT upon completion of the installation. The VERIZON technician will work with the SPRINT center to test the newly installed loop, which may include the placing and removing of shorts to allow SPRINT to test the line. VERIZON will contact SPRINT when the loop order is completed by calling the toll free (e.g., 800/888) telephone number specified on the order. It is agreed that after calling the SPRINT 800/888 telephone number the VERIZON technician will not remain on hold for longer than five minutes, and the VERIZON technician will not be required to spend more than 15 minutes performing cooperative testing on any single loop. Once Sprint determines that the loop meets the technical requirements for an unbundled loop, Sprint will provide VERIZON with a confirmation number and VERIZON will complete the order. VERIZON will perform repair and maintenance on trouble identified to be in VERIZON's network. VERIZON will not perform routine testing of the unbundled loop for maintenance purposes. Sprint will be required to provision a loop testing device either in its central office (switch location), Operations Center, or in its collocation arrangement to test the unbundled loop.
