SECTION 8.0 - COLLOCATION
Description
Collocation allows for the placing of equipment by CLEC at Qwest's Premises,
where Technically Feasible, that is necessary for accessing Unbundled Network Elements
(UNEs), ancillary services or Interconnection. Collocation includes the leasing to CLEC of
physical space in Qwest Premises, as well as the resources necessary for the operation and
economical use of collocated equipment, such as the use by CLEC of power; heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC); and cabling in Qwest's Premises. Collocation also
allows CLEC to access Interconnection Distribution Frames (ICDF) for the purpose of accessing
and combining Unbundled Network Elements and accessing ancillary services. There are
currently nine (9) standard types of Collocation available pursuant to this Amendment - Virtual,
Caged Physical , Shared Caged Physical Cage less Physical , Interconnection Distribution
Frame, Adjacent Common Area Splitter, Remote and Facility Connected. Other types of
Collocation may be requested through the BFR process. In addition , where Qwest may offer a
new form of Collocation, CLEC may order that form as soon as it becomes available and under
the terms and conditions pursuant to which Qwest offers it. The terms and conditions of any
such offering by Qwest shall conform as nearly as circumstances allow to the terms and
conditions of this Amendment. Nothi~g in this Amendment shall be construed as limiting the
ability to retroactively apply any changes to such terms and conditions as may be 'negotiated by
the Parties or ordered by the state Commission or any other competent authority.
Virtual Collocation -- A Virtual Collocation arrangement requires CLEC to
purchase and deliver to Qwest CLEC's own equipment for Qwest to install, repair, and
maintain in Qwest's Premises. CLEC does not have physical access to its virtually
collocated equipment in the Qwest Premises.
Caged Physical Collocation -- allows CLEC to lease caged floor space for
placement of its equipment within Qwest's Premises for the purpose of interconnecting
with Qwest Finished Services or accessing Unbundled Network Elements. CLEC is
responsible for the procurement, installation and on-going maintenance of its equipment
as well as the Cross Connections required within the cage.
Cageless Physical Collocation -- is a non-caged area within a Qwest
Premises. In Wire Centers, space will be made available in single frame bay
increments. In Wire Centers, the current minimum square footage is nine (9) square feet
per bay, however, if smaller bays are or become available, Qwest will reduce the
minimum square footage accordingly. Space will be provided utilizing industry standard
equipment bay configurations in which CLEC can place and maintain its own equipment.
CLEC is responsible for the procurement, installation and on-going maintenance of its
equipment as well as the Cross Connections required within CLEC's leased Collocationspace. 1.4 Shared Caged Physical Collocation -- allows two (2) or more CLECs to
share or sublease a single Collocation enclosure. Under Shared Physical Collocation,
one (1) CLEC obtains a Caged Physical Collocation arrangement from Qwest pursuant
to this Amendment or an approved Interconnection Agreement, and another CLEC

ATTACHMENT 1
pursuant to the terms of its Interconnection Agreement, may share use of that space, in
accordance to terms and conditions of a sublease agreement between the two ' (2)
CLECs. Shared Collocation may also be established through joint Application by CLECs
in which Qwest will have a separate Billing relationship with each applicant and will look
to each collocating CLEC for payment of its proportionate share of the charges relating
to the Collocation space. Qwest will prorate the charge for site conditioning and
preparation undertaken by Qwest to construct the Shared Collocation cage or condition
the space for Collocation use, regardless of how many Carriers actually collocate in that
cage, by determining the total charge for site preparation and allocating that charge to a
collocating CLEC (and billed directly to each such CLEC) based on the percentage of
the total space utilized 'by that CLEC as per the Collocation Application. Qwest shall not
place unreasonable restrictions on CLEC's use ofa Collocation cage, such as limiting
CLEC'ability to contract with other CLECs to share CLEC's Collocation cage in a
sublease-type arrangement. In addition if two (2) or more CLECs who have
Interconnection Agreements with Qwest utilize a Shared Collocation arrangement
Qwest shall permit each CLEC to order UNEs to and provision service from that Shared
Collocation space, regardless of which CLEC was the original collocator, directly from
Qwest. Qwest shall make Shared Collocation space available in single-bay increments
or their equivalent.
Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF) Collocation -- is offered for the
purpose of facilitating CLEC'$ combining of Unbundled Network Elements, Finished
Services, including Local Interconnection Trunks, and ancillary services. Under ICDF
Collocation, CLEC need not collocate equipment in the Qwest Wire Center. With ICDF
Collocation, CLEC will have access to the Qwest Wire Center and an ICDF to combine
UNEs, Finished Services, and ancillary services. The ICDF connects through tie cables
to various points within the Wire Center (e., MDF, COSMICTM or DSX, etc.) providing
CLEC with access to UNEs and ancillary services.
The ICDF is a distribution frame shared by multiple providers. If
CLEC desires a dedicated distribution frame for the purpose of facilitating
CLEC's combination of UNEs and ancillary services, CLEC may do so through
the placement of a CLEC-owned Cross Connection device collocated in the
Qwest Wire Center through either Caged or Cageless Physical Collocation.
Adjacent Collocation - is available in those instances where space is
legitimately exhausted in particular Qwest Premises to accommodate Physical
Collocation. Qwest shall make space available in adjacent controlled environmental
vaults, controlled environmental huts, or similar structures to the extent Technically
Feasible. Qwest shall permit CLEC to construct or otherwise procure such an adjacent
structure on property owned, leased or otherwise controlled by Qwest, subject only to
applicable OSHA, EPA, federal, state, and local safety and maintenance requirements.
, Such adjacent structure shall be in accordance with Qwest's design and space planning
for the site. CLEC may propose the design for the adjacent structure, subject to Qwest'
approval , which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Qwest must
provide power and physical Collocation services and facilities, subject to the same
nondiscrimination requirements as applicable to any other physical Collocation
arrangement. Qwest must permit CLEC to place its own equipment, including, but not
limited to, copper cables, coaxial cables, fiber cables, and Telecommunications

Equipment, in adjacent facilities constructed by Qwest, by CLEC itself, or a third party.
Common Area Splitter Collocation - Allows CLEC to place Splitters in a
common space area outside its Collocation space near CLEC's DSO termination points.
Qwest will install Splitter shelves for shared use byCLECs.
Remote Collocation - allows CLEC to collocate equipment in or adjacent
to a Qwest Remote Premises. The, terms for Remote Collocation are set forth more fully
in Section 8.7 and 8.4.
With respect to Cross Connections for access to Subloop
elements in multi-tenant environments (MTE) and field connection points (FCP),
the provisions concerning Subloop access and intervals are contained in the
Agreement. This type of access and Cross Connection is not Collocation.
Facility Connected (FC) Collocation -- Facility Connected (FC)
Collocation allows CLEC to access Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs), ancillary
services and Finished Services within a Qwest Wire Center via an ' Entrance Facility
without collocating physical equipment in the Wire Center. FC Collocation is provided on
termination block or termination panel within the designated Wire Center and is
engineered, provisioned , maintained, and repaired by Qwest.
Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions. All Collocation
Qwest shall provide Collocation on rates , terms and conditions that are
just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory. In addition , Qwest shall provide Collocation in
accordance with all applicable federal and state laws.
In accordance with the FCC rules regarding combinations of
Unbundled Network Elements and Commingling of facilities and services which
are addressed in the Agreement, Qwest will not combine or Commingle services
or Network Elements that are offered by Qwest pursuant to Section 271 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, with Unbundled Network Elements or
combinations of Unbundled Network Elements.
Services available for Commingling shall be
provided by Qwest pursuant to Qwest'applicable product Tariffs
catalogs, price lists, or other Telecommunications Services offerings.
Entrance Facilities obtained pursuant to Tariff are
available for Commingling. Entrance Facilities and mid-span meet SPOI
obtained pursuant to the Interconnection Section of the Agreement are
not available for Commingling.

ATTACHMENT
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMS)always
meet this legal standard.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (A TM) or Packet Switching also
meets this legal standard when used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled
Network Elements for purposes of providing Advanced Services such as xDSL.
Equipment used predominantly to support DSLAMs and A TMs, such as routers
and concentrators , as well as testing and network management equipment also
meet this legal standard. Before any equipment that includes switching
functionality is installed , CLEC must provide a written inventory to Qwest of all
switching equipment and how it will be used for Interconnection or access to
Unbundled Network Elements. Once CLEC establishes that it will use a certain
type of equipment for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements,
Qwest will allow future Collocations of similar equipment without requesting a
written justification unless and until Qwest can establish to the state Commission
that such equipment is not intended for Interconnection or access to Unbundled
Network Elements. However Qwest will complete the Collocation within the
appropriate interval unless granted relief by the Commission.
. 8.Remote Switching Units (RSUs) also meet this legal standard
when used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements for
purposes of providing Local Exchange Service.
2.4 Except as provided for in Sections 8.1 through 8.
a~ove, CLEC may not collocate equipment that is not necessary for
Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements.
CLEC must identify what transmission and Cross Connection equipment
will be installed and the vendor technical specifications of such equipment so that Qwest
may verify the appropriate power, floor loading, heat release, environmental particulate
level, HV AC, and tie cables to CLEC-provided Cross Connection device.1.4 Demarcation points for Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) and
ancillary services. The Demarcation Point for Unbundled Network Elements and
ancillary services is that physical point where Qwest shall terminate its Unbundled
Network Elements and ancillary services for access by CLEC. There are two (2)
standard Demarcation Points where Unbundled Network Elements and ancillary services
may be delivered to CLEC. CLEC shall specify its choice of standard Demarcation
Points for its access to UNEs and ancillary services. One available Demarcation Point is
at GLEe-provided Cross Connection equipment in CLEC'Physical or Virtual
Collocation space. Alternatively, the Demarcation Point can be at an Interconnection
Distribution Frame (ICDF) or may be established at a location jointly agreed to by CLEC
and Qwest. To the extent CLEC selects a Demarcation Point outside of its collocated
space, CLECshall provide and Qwest shall install the tie cables from CLEC's collocated
equipr:nent to the Demarcation Point. Alternatively, Qwest shall provide and install these
tie cables , at CLEC's expense.
Qwest will provide a connection between Unbundled Network Elements
and ancillary services and a Demarcation Point. Such connection is an Interconnection

Virtual or Physical Collocation space; or
b) i~ CLEC elects to use ICDF Collocation, at the Interconnection
Distribution Frame (ICDF); orc) if CLEC elects to use an ICDF in association with Virtual or
Physical Collocation , at the ICDF; or
d) at a direct connection point of termination as described in Section
11.2; or
at another Demarcation Point mutually-agreed to by the Parties.
CLEC may purchase Qwest's finished Private Line or Switched Access
Services via applicable Tariff terms and conditions. These services will be terminated at
the Demarcation Point.
For Caged and Cageless Physical Collocation and Virtual Collocation
CLEC must lease space for the placement of CLEC's equipment within Qwest'
Prer:nises. Qwest will provide the structure that is necessary in support of Collocation
including physical space, a cage (for Caged Physical Collocation), required cabling
between equipment and other associated hardware.
All equipment shall meet and be installed in accordance with Network
Equipment Building System (NEBS) Level 1 safety standards. Qwest shall provide
standard Premises alarming pursuant to Qwest Technical Publication 77385. Qwest
shall not impose safety or engineering requirements on CLEC that are more stringent
than the safety or engineering requirements Qwest imposes on its own equipmentlocated on its Premises.
Space Availability Report -- Upon request by CLEC, Qwest will submit to
CLEC within ten (10) calendar Days of CLEC's request, a report for each requested
Premises, that includes:
available Collocation space in a particular Qwest Premises;
number of collocators;
any modifications in the use of the space since the last report;d) measures that Qwest is taking to make additional space available

number of GLECs in queue at the Premises, if any;
whether the Wire Center is equipped with DS3 capability; and
h) the number and description of Qwes! and its Affiliates and
reservations of space by all CLECs.
A Space Availability Report Charge in Exhibit A will apply to each
Space Availability Report requested by CLEC and shall apply on per Premises
basis.
Inventory Report - Remote Premises. The locations of the
Remote Premises (e.g., Feeder Distribution Interfaces, "FDI") and the End User
Customer addresses served by each Remote Premises are available to . CLEC
through the Raw Loop Data Tool. Remote Premises with digital loop carrier and
pair gain equipment will be provided on the web site in the ICONN database.
(ICONN is available through the Qwest web site located
http://www.qwest.com/iconn.If CLEC is unable to determine the information it
seeks regarding the Remote Premises after using such database tools, Qwest
will provide CLEC with a report that contains the information. The Parties agree
that a charge may apply to such report, based on time and material, unless the
database information is inaccurate or unusable for the Remote Premises then no
charge would apply. Qwest will provide CLEC access to relevant plats, maps
engineering records and other data in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. In addition, CLEC can request a copy of Qwest's distribution area
map associated with the Remote Premises, with a charge for time and material.
10 Collocation is offered on a first-come , first-served basis. Requests for
Collocation may be denied due to the legitimate lack of sufficient space in a Qwest
Premises for placement of CLEC's equipment. If Qwest determines that the amount of
space requested by CLEC for Caged Physical Collocation is not available, but a lesser
amount of space is available, that lesser amount of space will be offered to CLEC for
Caged Physical Collocation. Alternatively, CLEC will be offered Cage less Physical
Collocation (single frame bay increments), or Virtual Collocation as an alternative to
Caged Physical Collocation. In the event the original Collocation request is not
available due to lack of sufficient space, and CLEC did not specify an alternative form of
Collocation on the original order form, CLEC will be required to submit a new order for
CLEC's preferred alternative Collocation arrangement. If CLEC identifies alternate
choices for Collocation on its original Collocation request, Qwest will determine the
feasibility of the next preferred option in the event CLEC's first choice is not available.
To the extent possible, Qwest shall make contiguous space available to CLEC when it
seeks to expand its existing Collocation space. Where adjoining space is not available
Qwest will engineer a route for CLEC to provide facilities between the non-adjoining
CLEC Collocation spaces as part of the Collocation order. When planning renovations
of existing facilities or constructing or leasing new facilities Qwest shall take into
account projected demand for Collocation~-Of equipment.
10.Space Denial Queue - Qwest will maintain a list of denied
Collocation requests, in order of the date of receipt (Space Denial Queue), for

each Premises where Qwest has exhausted Collocation space. A separate
queue will be maintained for each Premises. When space becomes available in
a Premises in which a queue has developed, Qwest will inform CLECs in the
queue that space for Collocation has become available. If there is insufficient
space to accommodate all of the CLECs in queue, Qwest shall notify CLECs of
the availability of space in accordance with the CLEC's position in the queue.
CLEC must respond within ten (10) calendar Days of receipt of notification from
Qwest with a new Collocation Application. If GLEC does not provide a
Collocation Application within ten (10) calendar Days of receipt of notification, or
if CLEC responds that it no longer requires the Collocation space, CLEC shall be
removed from the queue and the available space shall be offered to the next
CLEC in the queue. If the space made available to a CLEC in the queue is not
sufficient to meet such CLEC's needs , such CLEC may deny the space that
becomes available and keep its position in the queue. 11 If Qwest denies a request for Collocation in a Qwest Premises due to
space limitations, Qwes! shall allow CLEC representatives to tour the entire Premises
escorted by Qwest personnel within ten (10) calendar Days of CLEC's receipt of the
denial of space, or a mutually agreed upon, date. Qwest will review the detailed floor
plans for the Premises with CLEC during the tour, including Qwest reserved or optioned
space. Such tour shall be without charge to GLEe. If, after the tour of the Premises
Qwest and CLEC disagree about whether space limitations at the Premises make
Collocation impractical, Qwest and CLEC may present their arguments to the
Commission. In addition, if after the fact it is determined that Qwest has incorrectly
identified the space limitations, Qwest will honor the original Collocation Application date
for determining RFS unless both Parties agree to a revised date.12 Qwest shall submit. to the Commission, subject to any protective order as
the Commission may deem necessary, detailed floor plans or diagrams of any Premises
where Qwest claims that Physical Collocation is not practical because of spacelimitations. 13 Qwest will maintain a publicly available document, posted for viewing onthe Internet, (www.qwest.com/whoiesale/notices/colio/spaceavail.html), indicating all
Premises that are full, and will update this document within ten (10) calendar Days of the
date at which a Premises runs out of physical space and will update the document within
ten (10) calendar Days of the date that space becomes available. In addition, the
publicly available document shall include, based on information Qwest develops through

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Qwest web site will list and update within the ten (10)
Day period, all Wire Centers that are full , whether or not there has been a Space
Availability Report requested by any CLEC.
Reclamation and Reconditioning of Space
14.Reclamation of Space -- Reclamation of space is performed by
Qwest removing unused, obsolete Qwest equipment to make space for
equipment use. The cost of removal of the obsolete unused equipment shall be
borne by Qwest.
14.If CLEC issues a forecast or, reservation for
Collocation, Qwest shall use its best judgment to determine whether it
would be appropriate to reclaim space and or equipment to meet
e~pected Collocation requirements.
14.If CLEC issues a Collocation Application and
unused, obsolete equipment must be removed to provide the requested
Collocation , Qwest will affirmatively remove such unused, obsolete
equipment as necessary to fulfill the Collocation request within the
applicable interval set forth in section 8.4.
14.2 ,Reconditioning of Space -- Reconditioning of space is the
. remodeling of space for equipment use, such as, but not limited to adding
HV AC. The Collocation feasibility study will identify whether reconditioning of
space is available and necessary to meet CLEC needs for Collocation. If
requested by CLEC, Qwest will assess the cost of such reconditioning, provide a
quote to CLEC for the costs, and upon Acceptance of quote by CLEC, perform
the necessary work to recondition the space. For reconditioned space, CLEC is
responsible for prorated charges based on the amount of space requested.
15 ' Cancellation of Collocation Request. CLEC may cancel a Collocation
request prior to the completion of the request by Qwest by submitting a Collocation
Cancellation Application. CLEC shall be responsible for payment of all costs incurred by
Qwest up to the point when the cancellation is received. Collocation Cancellation is
available for all Collocations under a particular billing authorization number (BAN) (for
which CLEC has not received notification of completion from Qwest. Cancellation is
offered for all types of Collocation. A cancellation will only occur upon request by CLEC.
15.CLEC may submit a Collocation Cancellation Application if the
Collocation job is in progress. Upon receipt of a completion notice for the
specific Collocation job, the Collocation can no longer be cancelled. Qwest will
provide acknowledgment of acceptance or rejection of the Collocation
Cancellation Application within one (1) business day of receipt. Qwest will stop
work on a Collocation in progress upon receipt and acceptance of a Collocation

acceptance of the Collocation Cancellation Application.16 Qwest may retain a limited amount of floor space for its own specific
future uses, provided, however, that neither Qwest nor any of its Affiliates may reserve
space for future use on terms more favorable than those that apply to CLEC'
reservation of Collocation space for CLEC's own future use. Qwest shall relinquish any
space held for future use before denying a request for Virtual Collocation on the grounds
of space limitations, unless Qwest proves to the Commission that Virtual Collocation at
that point is not Technically Feasible. 17 In addition to the requirements of Section 8.8, all Collocation
installation and structures shall meet applicable earthquake safety rating requirements
comparable to and to the same extent that Qwest installations and structures meet
earthquake rating requirements as contained in the Network Equipment Building System

transferred will be handled on an Individual Case Basis (lCB). There are two (2)
types of Collocation Transfer of Responsibility: 1) Collocation Transfer of
Responsibility Without Working Circuits - The Collocation is not serving any End
User Customers and does not have active service terminations (e.
g.,
Interconnection trunks or UNE Loops) or 2) Collocation Transfer of Responsibility
With Working Circuits - The Collocation has active service terminations, such as
Interconnection trunks or is serving End User Customers.
22.Generally, Collocation Transfer of Responsibility is
not available if another CLEC or Qwest are waiting in queue for available
space within the requested Premises; however if assuming CLEC
acquires all or substantially all of the Collocation sites of vacating CLEC
in Qwest Premises in the state, such transfers shall not be subject to any
queue for available space. In addition, regardless of any space requests
that may be pending in a Qwest Premises, Collocation Transfer of
Responsibility shall, be available when vacating CLEC and assuming
CLEC are affiliated corporate entities prior to or immediately after the
proposed transfer, or the transfer is due to a bankruptcy court order.
vacating CLEC has filed for bankruptcy, assuming CLEC must comply
with Applicable Law in obtaining th~ transfer of the Collocation site.
22.Both vacating CLEC'and assuming CLEC'
Interconnection Agreements with Qwest must contain finalized terms and

judgments, damages, liability or obligation arising out of or in connection with
Qwest's exercise of any or all of its, rights under this Section. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section, where CLEC has submitted a Decommissioning
Application, the provisions of Section 8.22.1 of this Amendment, shall govern
the equipment or property of CLEC and not this Section unless CLEC fails to
remove its equipment or property in accordance with the terms of Section
22.1' of this Amendment'.
23 . Qwest shall design and engineer the most efficient route and cable
racking for the connection between CLEC's equipment in i~s collocated spaces to the
collocated equipment of another CLEC located in the same Qwest Premises; or to
CLEC's own non-contiguous Collocation space. The most efficient route generally will
be over existing cable racking, to the extent Technically Feasible, but to determine the
most efficient route and cable racking, Qwest shall consider all information provided by
CLEC in the Collocation Application form, including but not limited to, distance limitations
of the facilities CLEC intends to use for the connection. CLEC shall have access to the
designated route and construct such connection, using copper, coax, optical fiber
facilities, or any other Technically Feasible method utilizing a vendor of CLEC's own
choosing. CLEC may place its own fiber, coax, copper cable, or any other Technically
Feasible connecting facilities outside of the actual physical . Collocation space, subject
only to reasonable NEBS Level 1 safety limitations using the route specified by Qwest.
CLEC may perform such Interconnections at the ICDF, if desired. CLEC may
interconnect its network as described herein to any other collocating Carrier, to any
collocated Affiliate of CLEC , to any End User Customer premises, and may
interconnect CLEC's own collocated space and/or equipment (e.g., CLEC's Physical
Collocation and CLEC's Virtual Collocation on the same Premises). CLEC-to-CLEC
Connections shall be ordered either as part of a Collocation Application under Section
8.4 , or separately from Collocation Application in accordance with Section 8.
CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connections at an ICDF are available, as follows:
23.CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connections at the ICDF.
23.1 CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connection (COCC-X)
defined as CLEC'capability to order a Cross Connection from its
Collocation in a Qwest Premises to its non-adjacent Collocation space or
to another CLEC's Collocation within the same Qwest Premises at the
ICDF.
23.Qwest will provide the capability to combine these
separate Collocations through an Interconnection Distribution Frame
(ICDF). This is accomplished by the use of CLEC's Connecting Facility
Assignment (CFA) terminations residing at an IDCF. Also, ICDF Cross
Connections must terminate on the same ICDF at the same service rate
level.

23.If CLEC has its own dedicated ICDF CLEC is
responsible for ordering tie cables to the common ICDF frame/bay where
the other CLEC resides. These tie cables would be ordered through theexisting Collocation Application form.
23.1.4 CLEC is responsible for the end-to-end service
design that uses ICDF Cross Connection to ensure that the resulting
service meets its End User Customer s needs. This is accomplished by
CLEC using the Design Layout Record (DLR) for the service connection.
23.If two (2) CLECs are involved, one (1) CLEC acts as
the "ordering" CLEC. The ordering CLEC identifies both connection
CFAs on the ASR. CLEC requests service order activity by using the
standard ASR forms. These forms are agreed upon nationally at the OBF
(Ordering and Billing Forum). Refer to the DMP (Document Management
Platform)/Carrier/Carrier Centers/"A"/"ASOG" for copies of all forms
including definitions of the fields. CLEC is responsible for obtaining these
forms. Qwest must not reproduce copies for its Customers, as this is a
copyright violation.The" standard industry forms for CLEC-to-CLEC
Cross Connections (COCC-X) are: Access Service Request (ASR),
. Special Access (SPE) and Additional Circuit Information (ACI).24 Qwest will provide CLEC the same connection to the network as Qwest
uses for provision of services to Qwest End User Customers. The direct connection to
Qwest's network is provided to CLEC through a direct connection to Qwest's existing
Cross Connection network. CLEC and Qwest will share the same distributing frames for
similar types' and speeds of equipment, where Technically Feasible and space
permitting.25 CLEC terminations will be placed on the appropriate Qwest Cross
Connection frames using standard engineering principles. CLEC terminations will share
frame space with Qwest terminations on Qwest frames without a requirement for an
intermediate device.26 If CLEC disagrees with the selection of the Qwest Cross Connection
frame CLEC may request a tour of the Qwest Premises to determine if Cross
Connection frame alternatives exist, and may request a connection to an alternative
frame or an alternative arrangement, such as direct connections from CLEC'
Collocation space to the MDF or COSMICTM frame.27 Conversions of the various Collocation arrangements (e., Virtual to
Physical) will be considered on an Individual Case Basis. However, conversions from
Virtual Collocation to Cageless Physical Collocation , where the conversion only involves
an administrative and Billing change, and the virtually collocated equipment is located in
a space where Cageless Physical Collocation is available, shall be completed in thirty
(30) calendar Days.. CLEC must pay all associated conversion charges. 28 Qwest shall permit CLEC to construct or subcontract the construction and
build-out of Physical Collocation arrangements with contractors approved by Qwest.

Such GLEe construction of Physical Collocation arrangements are for within CLEC'
physical space including the cage, if appropriate , frames, and cable racking. Also,
CLEC may install the tie cables, blocks, and terminations on the ICDF or CLEC-to-CLEC
connections, outside CLEC's physical space and according to Qwest's design. Qwest
approval of CLEC contractors involves security access arrangements and shall not be
unreasonably withheld. CLEC is not required to use Qwest or Qwest contracted
personnel for the engineering and installation of CLEC's collocated equipment. Approval
by Qwest of CLEC's employees, vendors or subcontractors shall be based on the same
criteria that Qwest uses in approving contractors for its own purposes.29 Qwest will provide CLEC with written notification at least five (5) business
days before any scheduled non-emergency AC or DC power work in the collocated
facility that may cause a power disruption to CLEC equipment located in the Qwest
facility. This does not include notification of routine power testing or power installation
work not expected to cause a power disruption. Qwest will use diligent efforts to notify
CLEC by the Abnormal Condition Report (ACR) of: (a) general power outages as soon
as Qwest becomes aware that an outage is to take place or has occurred and (b) any
emergency power disruption that would impact CLEC equipment no later than thirty (30)
minutes after such activity commences. Finally, Qwest shall immediately notify CLEC by
ACR if an alarm condition exists with respect to the monitoring of power that poses a
material risk to the continued operation of CLEC equipment.30 Optional DC Power Measurement. CLEC will order DC power to meet its
needs with a twenty (20) amperes (amp) per feed minimum. If CLEC orders more than
sixty (60) amps, Qwest typically terminates such feed on a power board. If CLEC orders
sixty (60) amps or less, the power feed typically terminates at a battery distribution fuse
board (BDFB). No power measurements are performed at a BDFB. Therefore, for sixty
(60) amps or less, the power usage rate is based on CLEC ordered amps. For power
feeds of greater than sixty (60) amps terminated at the power board, Qwest will measure
usage on a semi-annual basis if CLEC orders Optional DC Power Measurement. Qwest
will also take a reading within thirty (30) calendar Days of a written request by CLEC.
Qwest will perform a maximum of four (4) readings per year for a particular Collocationsite. Until the routine semi-annual reading or until such time that Qwest makes a
reading based on a written request, Qwest will bill CLEC based on the amount of power
ordered. Based on the reading, Qwest will adjust the new monthly usage rate to CLEC'
actual usage rate on a going forward basis.31 Joint Testing. Joint Testing allows CLEC to request Qwest to participate
in Joint Testing of CLEC terminations at the Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF).
CLEC may request Joint Testing on the Collocation Application form or by sending a
separate Joint Testing Application form. Collocation and Joint Testing Application forms
are available in the PCAT. CLEC must specify on its application the terminations to be
tested and the type of tests to be performed with Qwest. CLEC must provide contact
information on the application for Qwest to arrange the Joint Testing date and time.
Qwest will acknowledge acceptance of the application within ten (10) calendar Days of
receipt. Joint Testing will be complete within ninety (90) calendar Days of the RFS if
Joint Testing is requested on the Collocation Application form or ninety (90) calendar
Days from acceptance of the Joint Testing Application form.

31.Qwest will only test between CLEC Collocation and the
ICDF once CLEC equipment is in place. Joint Testing is only available for
the terminations identified on the Collocation Application or Joint Testing
Application. If CLEC wants additional terminations tested that are not
identified on its initial application, CLEC will need to complete a new Joint
Testing Application.
31.Each Party will provide appropriate test equipment for its
technicians. Qwest will assist CLEC in conducting continuity tests on
terminations at the ICDF. Qwest will not operate CLEC test equipment.
errors are found during the Joint Testing, Qwest will only repair Qwest
network faults. CLEC is responsible for replacement or repair of CLEC-provided facilities.
31 ~If during the scheduled Joint Testing, the Qwest-caused
error rate is more than two percent (20/0) on the terminations identified for
testing, Qwest will not charge for this Joint Testing. If there are less than
two percent (20/0) errors found or if the errors found are facility errors on
CLEC provided facilities, Qwest will charge for the Joint Testing. One (1)
pair is counted as two (2) terminations and errors are counted on a one
(1) termination basis. If CLEC requests that the charges be waived
because Qwest errors are found during Joint Testing, Qwest may access
CLEC's Collocation space to identify if the facility cabling sequence is
correct, per applicable standarqs. CLEC may review Qwest facility
cabling at the ICDF to verify the cable sequence , per applicablestandards. 32 DC Power Reduction. DC Power Reduction With Reservation allows
CLEC to reserve a fuse or breaker position on the power board or battery distribution
fuse board (BDFB) when reducing a secondary power feed to zero. CLEC will pay a
monthly power maintenance charge to retain the existing power cabling and fuse
position for future power augment requests or until such time as CLEC notifies Qwest it
wishes to discontinue the option. DC Power Reduction Without Reservation allows
CLEC to reduce the ordered amps on a primary or secondary feed to a minimum of
twenty (20) amps.
32.Applications for DC Power Reduction may be submitted only for
Collocation sites that have been completed and accepted by CLEC, otherwise
CLEC should follow standard change or augment procedures including the
applicable rates for changes or augments. On the Collocation Application , CLEC
should indicate that it is a request for DC Power Reduction and identify the
specific power feeds to be reduced. CLEC should submit the applicable QPF or
Engineering and Design fee with its Collocation Application requesting DC Power
Reduction. Qwest will notify CLEC of any deficiencies in the Collocation
Application, within ten (10) calendar Days of receipt. A quote for the DC Power
Reduction will be provided to CLEC within twenty-five (25) calendar Days. The
quoted nonrecurring charges will be honored for thirty (30) calendar Days from
the quote. CLEC payment of all quoted nonrecurring charges constitutes
acceptance and Qwest will then perform the work. If CLEC accepts the quote

within ninety (90) calendar Days of receipt of the Collocation Application. If
CLEC accepts the quote after seven (7) calendar Days, Qwest shall complete the
DC Power Reduction within ninety (90) calendar Days of receipt of CLEC'
acceptance. If CLEC's request allows for such accommodation, Qwest will make
reasonable efforts to complete CLEC's request for DC ' Power Reduction in a
shorter timeframe.
32.CLEC assumes all responsibility for outages or impacts to CLEC
services and equipment due to the reduction in DC power. Restoration of the DC
power is contingent upon the desired power and fuse availability.
32.Before submitting a Collocation Application requesting DC Power
Reduction, CLEC's financial obligations for the Collocation site must be current
with the exception of formally disputed charges. Billing to CLEC will be revised
to reflect the reduced DC power upon receipt of payment of the quoted charges
effective back to the date of acceptance by Qwest of the Collocation Application.
32.If a shortage of fuse positions is imminent, Qwest will notify CLEC
of the need to exercise its option to reuse the power feed and fuse, or relinquish
the fuse position for use by another CLEC or Qwest. Upon receipt of such
notification, CLEC must request restoration of the secondary power feed to at
. least twenty (20) amps or return the fuse position to Qwest within thirty (30)
calendar Days.33 Collocation Available Inventory. Collocation Available Inventory provides

2 Collocation . Fiber Entrance Facilities. Qwest offers three (3) Fiber
Collocation Entrance Facility options - Standard Fiber Entrance Facility, Cross Connect
Fiber Entrance Facility, and Express Fiber Entrance Facilities. These options apply to
Caged and Cageless Physical Collocation and Virtual Collocation. Fiber Entrance
Facilities provide the connectivity between CLEC's collocated equipment within the
Qwest Wire Center and a Collocation Point of Interconnection (C-POI) outside the Qwest
Wire Center where CLEC shall terminate its fiber-optic facility, except the Express Fiber
Entrance Facilities.
CLEC is responsible for providing its own fiber facilities to the C-POI
outside Qwest's Wire Center. Qwest will extend the fiber cable from the C-POI to a
Fiber Distribution Panel (FDP). Additional fiber, conduit and associated riser structure
will then be provided by Qwest from the FDP to continue the run to CLEC's leased
Collocation space (Caged or Cageless Physical Collocation) or CLEC's equipment
(Virtual Collocation). The Qwest-provided facility from the C-POI to the leased
Collocation space (Physical Collocation) or CLEC equipment (Virtual Collocation) shall
be considered the Collocation Fiber Entrance Facility. The preceding provisions do not
apply to an Express Fiber Entrance Facility which provides that CLEC fiber will be pulled
to CLEC Collocation equipment without splices or termination on an FDP.
Standard Fiber Entrance Facility -- The standard fiber
Entrance Facility provides fiber connectivity between CLEC'fiber
facilities delivered to the C-POI and CLEC'Collocation space
increments of twelve (12) fibers. CLEC's fiber cable is spliced into a
Qwest-provided shared fiber entrance cable that consists of six (6) buffer
tubes containing twelve (12) fibers each for a seventy-two (72) fiber
cable. The seventy-two (72) fiber cable shall be terminated on a Fiber
Distribution Panel (FDP). A twelve (12) fiber Interconnection cable is
placed between CLEC'Collocation space and the FDP. The FOP
provides Qwest with test access and a connection point between the
transport fiber and CLEC's Interconnection cable.
2.4.Cross Connect Fiber Entrance Facility - The cross connect
fiber Entrance Facility provides fiber connectivity between CLEC's fiber
facilities delivered to a C-POI and multiple locations within the Qwest
Wire Center.CLEC's fiber cable is spliced into a Qwest-provided shared

rates, on a per termination basis, will apply as contained in Exhibit A of
this Amendment. When CLEC provides and installs the tie cables, blocks
and terminations on the ICDF, no Collocation Termination rates will apply.
11.Direct Connection
11.Direct Connection provides an uninterrupted path
from the Collocation space to an existing frame. This option will
guarantee that there will not be an IGDF. The connection will be
designed from the Collocation space to the same frame that Qwest uses
to connect to that specific service. For example, if CLEC wants to
connect directly from its Collocation space to a 911 router, the
infrastructure for the 911 trunks will terminate in a DS1 bay location with
the 911-router circuits. There are several options for the location of the
Demarcation Point. CLEC will select its desired option via the Direct
Connection Collocation Application. If CLEC chooses a demarcation
inside the Collocation space, CLEC should order and install the
termination equipment itself. Demarcation equipment must be noted on
the order form so that a CLLI code and unique tie cable assignments can
be generated for systems flow through. If CLEC chooses a demarcation
outside its Collocation space, Qwest will maintain and inventory this
device. Direct terminations may be ordered where frame space is
available. If frame space is exhausted the terminations may need to be
made at another frame. Upon completion of the pre-provisioning of the
Direct Connection , CLEC will receive an Alternate Point of Termination
(APOT) form so that it may order Finished Services and UNEs. CLEC will
be responsible for augmenting terminations as required. The Direct
Connection APOT information must be provided on the ASR or LSR to
insure that the services are designed to the dedicated path.
11.2 CLEC's termination point will require a CLL! code
(e., Frame Number) and the dedicated tie pairs will require a unique
name to enable automatic assignment through TIRKSTM and SWITCHTM
via Carrier Facilities Address (CFA) methods.
11.If CLEC wishes to arrange terminations on a 2-wire
POTS level cross-connect device of the modular type , Le. COSMICTM
Hardware, standard-engineering principles will apply. Provisioning
intervals and costs will be customized and determined on an Individual
Case Basis (ICB). A five (5) year forecast including terminations per
quantities will be required. MELDTM runs will be required for the initial
COSMICTM plan and each subsequent block addition. To minimize
CLEC's cost, to the extent feasible Qwest shall consolidate CLEC'
requirements with the requirements of Qwest and other CLECs into a
single MELDTM run whenever feasible. Costs of such consolidated
MELDTM runs shall ' be prorated among the parties, including Qwest.
Minimum installation requires at least one (1) block for every two (2)

reserved for future block space.
11.2.4 Requests for terminations at a DSO, DS1 , DS3 and
optical level (non-POTS) may also be made directly to the respective
frame or panel (Le., toll frame, DSX, FDP, etc.). Direct Connections to
these frames do not require MELDTM runs and short jumper engineering
principals, as with the COSMICTM frame. However these connections will
require coordination between Qwest and CLEC to ensure that the cable is
terminated in an existing frame with the service that CLEC is wishing to
connect with. . Direct Connection is ordered via the supplemental
Collocation order form , Direct Connection (DC-POT). Timing, pricing and
feasibility will be determined on the basis of a specific, in-depth building
analysis. Direct Connections are available where available frame space
permits. If frame space is exhausted , terminations may need to be made
at another frame. Space availability will be determined during the
feasibility request phase of the order. Rates for Direct Connection
Terminations will be on an ICB basis using rates defined in ExhibitA.
11.Terminations must be purchased in the following increments: DSO
in blocks of 100; DS 1 in increments of one (1); and DS3 in increments of one (1)
coaxial cable or fiber pair.12 Security Charge. This charge applies to the keys/card and card readers
required for CLEC access to the Qwest Premises for the purpose of Collocation. There
. are two monthly recurring rate elements associated with Security Access. The first rate
element is per access card, per CLEC employee, per month. The second rate element
is the number of card accessible premises, per CLEC employee, per month, as included
in Exhibit A to this Amendment.
13 Composite Clock/Central Office Synchronization. Recovers the cost of
providing composite clock and/or DS 1 synchronization signals traceable to a stratum
one source. CLEC must determine the synchronization requirements for CLEC'
equipment and notify Qwest of these requirements when ordering the clock signals.
Central Office Synchronization is required for Virtual Collocation involving digital
services or connections. Synchronization may be required for analog services. Central
Office Synchronization is available where Qwest Central Offices are equipped with
Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS). The rate is applied on a per Port basis
accordance with Exhibit A.
14 -48 Volt DC Power Cable Charge. Provides for the transmission of -
volt DC power to the collocated equipment and is fused at one hundred twenty-five
percent (125010) of request. It includes engineering, furnishing and installing the main
distribution bay power breaker, associated power cable, cable rack and local power bay
