ANNEX Nº 10
PROCEDURE OF CALCULUS FOR AVAILABILITY
The availability for the telecommunications services of the AWARDED PROJECT shall take into account the cases in which the interruption of the service is due to the lack of electric fluid, under the following considerations:
Localities with conventional electric energy:
In this case THE CONTRACTOR should try to have an independent meter with the purpose that the operability of the equipment does not depend of the action of third parties.
In this assumption, if there is a cut of electric fluid, after the time of autonomy of the system of electric support has concluded indicated in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, the interruption will not be counted until the replacement of the conventional electric energy.
To credit an electric cut it will be enough to submit a report of alarm of the system of management and monitoring of the implemented network. In case that the system of management and monitoring do not allow distinguishing the kind of alarms, THE CONTRACTOR must submit proof of accreditation signed by the concessionaire of electric energy or any authority, academic center, police or medical personnel as long as they belong to the locality indicating the hour and date of beginning and cutting end.
In the cases in which the energy cuts are permanent and in intervals of short time, that do not allow the complete load of the system of electric support, reducing the time of autonomy of the system, the time of interruption will not be considered from the cut of the service, provided it is determined that the origin is due to the cut of electric energy.
In those cases in which the electric energy is provided by a settler, town or any other third party different to the energy concessionaire, THE CONTRACTOR assumes the responsibility of the energy cut due to causes that are different to the aforementioned.
Localities without conventional electric energy:
THE CONTRACTOR according to the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS will propose in its TECHNICAL PROPOSAL the design of the energy system that allows guaranteeing the availability of the services according to the requirement of the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
In cases where there is a service cut within the time of autonomy of the electric system, the interruption will be counted within the period of availability of the services.
To demonstrate an energy system cut implemented by, but not attributable to THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTOR must submit proof of accreditation signed by the MANDATORY PAID INSTITUTION or any authority, academic center, police or medical personnel as long as they belong to the locality indicating the hour and date of beginning and cutting end.
In some cases in which the energy cuts are permanent and in intervals of short time, that do not allow the complete load of the electric system, reducing the time of autonomy of the system, the time of interruption will not be considered since the service cut, provided it is determined that the origin is due to an inadequate load of the batteries.
In cases in which the interruption of the service is due to climatological factors, the following points will be taken into account:
If the energy cut is due to the solar incidence in the transmission equipment, the interruption will not be counted provided the occurrence of this event is credited with the submission of a report or document of a specialized organism, public or private (previously approved by FITEL) indicating the anomaly of solar radiation and the effects it will produce.
If the cut is due to the absence of sunlight that do not allow the load of the batteries through solar panels, the interruption will not be counted provided a document of a specialized organism is submitted or the Affidavit of any authority of the locality or district, certifying the absence of sunlight.
Availability Schedule of the Service.
Within the Schedule in which the TECHNICAL PROPOSAL has not considered available, the equipment will not be counted with any interruption.
To determine the time of total interruption, we shall add all the service cuts higher than one third of the estimated availability for each day.
