Common use of Provisioning of Loops Clause in Contracts

Provisioning of Loops. The following coordination procedures shall apply for conversions of “live” Telephone Exchange Services to Loops. These and other mutually agreed-upon procedures shall apply reciprocally for the “live” cutover of Customers from BA to MFN and from MFN to BA. 11.9.1 Coordinated cutover charges will apply to any conversion of live Telephone Exchange Services to Loops. If MFN elects not to request a coordinated cutover, BA will process MFN’s request in the normal course and subject to the normal installation intervals. 11.9.2 MFN shall request Loops from BA by delivering to BA a valid electronic transmittal service order (when available) or another mutually agreed-upon type of service order such as a Loop/NID Time and Material form. Such service order shall be provided in accordance with industry format and specifications or such format and specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties. Within forty-eight (48) hours of BA’s receipt of such valid service order, BA shall provide MFN the firm order commitment date according to the Performance Interval Dates set forth in Schedule 26.1 by which the Loops covered by such service order will be installed. 11.9.3 On each Loop order in a Wire Center, MFN and BA will agree on a cutover time at least forty eight (48) hours before that cutover time. The cutover time will be defined as a 15-30 minute window within which both the MFN and BA personnel will make telephone contact to complete the cutover. 11.9.4 Within the appointed 15-30 minute cutover time, the BA person will call the MFN person designated to coordinate cutover work. 11.9.5 If MFN requires a change in scheduling, it must contact BA to issue a supplement to the original order. The negotiations process to determine the date and time of cutover will then be reinitiated as usual. 11.9.6 If the MFN person is not ready within the appointed interval and if MFN had not called to reschedule the work at least two (2) hours prior to the start of the interval, MFN shall be liable for the non‑recurring charge for the unbundled Network Elements scheduled for the missed appointment. In addition, non‑recurring charges for the rescheduled appointment will apply. 11.9.7 If BA is not available or not ready at any time during the appointed 15-30 minute interval, MFN and BA will reschedule and BA will waive the non‑recurring charge for the unbundled Network Elements originally scheduled for that interval, whenever those unbundled elements are actually cut over pursuant to an agreed-upon rescheduling. 11.9.8 The standard time expected from disconnection of a live Telephone Exchange Service to the connection of the unbundled Network Element to the MFN Collocation arrangement is fifteen (15) minutes per Voice Grade circuit for all orders consisting of twenty (20) Loops or less.

Delays caused by the Customer are the responsibility of MFN. 11.9.10 If MFN has ordered INP as part of an Loop installation, BA will coordinate implementation of INP with the Loop coordinated cutover installation.
