Loop that may cause a disruption of the service of the other Party, that
Party shall first make a good faith effort to notify the other Party of the
possibility of a service disruption. Verizon and CP will work together to
address Customer initiated repair requests and to prevent adverse
impacts to the Customer.
When Verizon provides Inside Wire maintenance services to the
Customer, Verizon will only be responsible for testing and repairing the
Inside Wire for voice-grade services. Verizon will not test, dispatch a
technician, repair, or upgrade Inside Wire to clear trouble calls
associated with CP's Advanced Services. Verizon will not repair any
CPE provided by CPo Before a trouble ticket is issued to Verizon , CP
shall validate whether the Customer is experiencing a trouble that
arises from CP's service. If the problem reported is isolated to the
analog voice-grade service provided by Verizon, a trouble ticket may
be issued to Verizon.
In the case of a trouble reported by the Customer on its Voice Grade
service, if Verizon determines the reported trouble arises from CP'
equipment, splitter problems, or CP's activities, Verizon will:
Notify CP and request that CP immediately test the trouble
on CP's service.
If the Customer's Voice Grade service is so degraded that
the Customer cannot originate or receive Voice Grade calls
and CP has not cleared its trouble within a reasonable time
frame, Verizon may take unilateral steps to temporarily
restore the Customer s Voice Grade service if Verizon
determines in good faith that the cause of the voice
interruption is Cp's service. Where the Customer's Voice
Grade service is degraded by CP's particular technology
deployment, Verizon will, to the extent required by
Applicable Law, establish before the Commission that CP'
particular technology deployment is causing the significant
degradation and , upon Verizon having done so , CP will
discontinue deployment (or use) of that technology and will
migrate its Customers to technologies that will not
significantly degrade the performance of other such
services.
Upon completion of the steps in Sections 4.1 and
2 of this Attachment, Verizon may temporarily remove
the CP-provided splitter from the Customer s Loop and
switch port if Verizon determines in good faith that the
cause of the voice interruption is CP's service.
6.4 Upon notification from CP that the malfunction in CP'
service has been cleared , Verizon will restore CP's service
by restoring the splitter on the Customer s Loop.
Upon completion of the above steps, CP will be charged a
Troublelsolcitlon Charge (TiC) to recover Vei"izon s costs of
isolating and temporarily removing the malfunctioning CP
service from the Customer s line if the cause of the voice
interruption was CP's service.
Verizon shall not be liable to CP, the Customer, or any
other person, for damages of any kind for disruptions to
CP's service that are the result of the above steps taken in
good faith to restore the end user s voice-grade POTS
service, and CP shall indemnify Verizon from any Claims
that result from such steps.
Line Splitting
CLECs may provide integrated voice and data services over the same Loop by engaging
in "Line Splitting" as set forth in paragraph 18 of the FCC's Line Sharing Reconsideration
Order (CC Docket Nos. 98-147, 96-98), released January 19, 2001. Any Line Splitting
between two CLECs shall be accomplished by prior negotiated arrangement between
those CLECs. To achieve a Line Splitting capability, CLECs may utilize supporting
Verizon OSS to order and combine in a Line Splitting configuration an unbundled xDSL
Compatible Loop terminatedto a collocated splitter and DSLAM equipment provided by a
participating CLEC , unbundled circuit switching combined with shared transport
collocator-to-collocator connections, and available cross-connects, under the terms and
conditions set forth in their Interconnection Agreement(s). The participating CLECs shall
provide any splitters used in a Line Splitting configuration. CLECs seeking to migrate
existing UNE platform configurations to a Line Splitting configuration using the same
Network Elements utilized in the pre-existing platform arrangement, or seeking to migrate
a Line Sharing arrangement to a Line Splitting configuration using the existing Loop, a
Verizon Local Switching Network Element, and the existing central office wiring
configuration , may do so consistent with such implementation schedules, terms
conditions and guidelines as are agreed upon for such migrations in the ongoing DSL
Collaborative in the State of New York, NY PSC Case 00-C-0127, allowing for local
jurisdictional and OSS differences.

sixty (60) days of CP's receipt of such statement and the associated
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order, and Verizon shall not be
obligated to perform any of the work set forth in such order until
Verizon has received such payment. A Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn if
CP breaches its payment obligation under this Section. Upon Verizon
s completion of the work that Verizon must perform to provide CP with
access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility, Verizon shall bill CP , and
CP shall pay to Verizon , the balance of the cost set forth in the Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Cost Statement for such
access.
After Verizon has completed the installation of the interconnecting
cable to a CP TOPIC and CP has paid the full cost of such installation
CP can request the connection of Verizon Sub-Loop Distribution
Facilities to the CP TOPIC. At the same time, CP shall advise Verizon
of the services that CP plans to provide over the Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility, request any conditioning of the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
and assign the pairs in the interconnecting cable. CP shall run any
crosswires within the TOPIC.
If CP requests that Verizon reactivate an unused drop and NID, then
CP shall provide dial tone (or its DSL equivalent) on the CP side of the
applicable Verizon FDI at least twenty-four (24) hours before the due
date. On the due date, a Verizon technician will run the appropriate
cross connection to connect the Verizon Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
to the CP dial tone or equivalent from the TOPIC. If CP requests that
Verizon provide CP with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
that, at the time of CP's request, Verizon is using to provide service to
a Customer, then , after CP has looped two interconnecting pairs
through the TOPIC and at least twenty four (24) hours before the due
date, a Verizon technician shall crosswire the dial tone from the
Verizon central office through the Verizon side of the TOPIC and back
out again to the Verizon FDI and Verizon Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility using the "loop through" approach. On the due date, CP shall
disconnect Verizon s dial tone, crosswire its dial tone to the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility and submit CP's long-term number portability
request.
Verizon will not provide access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility if
Verizon is using the loop of which the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is
a part to provide line sharing service to another CLEC or a service that
uses derived channel technology to a Customer unless such other
CLEC first terminates the Verizon-provided line sharing or such
Customer first disconnects the service that utilizes derived channel
technology.
Verizon shall provide CP with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility in accordance with negotiated intervals
Verizon shall repair and maintain a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility at
the request of CP and subject to the time and material rates set forth
in Pricing Attachment and the rates, terms and conditions of Verizon
applicable Tariffs. CP accepts responsibility for initial trouble isolation

provisioning process shall be used when CP requires new
collocation facilities or changes to existing collocation
arrangements.
If no order is received from CP for the reserved Dark Fiber
Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF within ten
(10) Business Days from CP's receipt of Acknowledgement
Verizon shall return to spare the reserved Dark Fiber Loop,
Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF that Verizon
previously notified CP are available. Should CP submit an
order to Verizon after the ten (10) Business Day reservation
period for access to a Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-
Loop or Dark Fiber IOF that Verizon has previously notified
CP was available, CP assumes all risk that such Dark Fiber
Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF will no longer
be available.
Upon CP's request, the Parties will conduct parallel
provisioning of collocation and Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber
Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF in accordance with the
following terms and conditions:
CP will use existing interfaces and Verizon

as is ). In addition , Verizon
shall not be required to convert lit fiber to a Dark Fiber Loop, Dark
Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF for CP's use.
Spare wavelengths on fiber strands, where Wave Division Multiplexing
(WDM) or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment is
deployed, are not considered to be Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-
Loops or Dark Fiber IOF, and, therefore, will not be offered to CP as
Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber IOF.
Fiber that has been assigned to fulfill a Customer order for
maintenance purposes or for Verizon s lit fiber optic systems will not
be offered to CP as Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark
Fiber IOF.
CP shall be responsible for providing all transmission , terminating and
lightwave repeater equipment necessary to light and use Dark Fiber
Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops, or Dark Fiber IOF.
CP may not resell Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark

Except to the extent that Verizon is required by Applicable Law to
provide Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber IOF to
CP for use for Special or Switched Exchange Access Services, CP
shall not use Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber
IOF, for Special or Switched Exchange Access Services.
In order to preserve the efficiency of its network, Verizon may, upon a
showing of need to the Commission, limit CP to leasing up to a
maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fiber Loops, Fiber Sub-
Loops or Fiber IOF in any given segment of Verizon s network. In
addition, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, Verizon may
take any of the following actions, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement:
14.Revoke Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark
Fiber IOF leased to CP upon a showing of need to the
Commission and twelve (12) months' advance written notice
to CP; and
Verizon reserves and shall not waive, Verizon s right to
claim before the Commission that Verizon should not have
to fulfill a CP order for Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-
Loops, or Dark Fiber IOF because that request would strand
an unreasonable amount of fiber capacity, disrupt or
degrade service to Customers or carriers other than CP, or
impair Verizon s ability to meet a legal obligation.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, CP may not reserve
Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops or Dark Fiber IOF.

order for such access. CP hereby represents and warrants that it shall
have all such rights of way, authorizations and the like applicable to
the geographic location at which it wishes to establish a demarcation
point for a Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF
on or before the date that CP places an order for the applicable Dark
Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF, and that it shall
maintain the same going forward.
CP is responsible for trouble isolation before reporting trouble to
Verizon. Verizon will restore continuity to Dark Fiber Loops, Dark
Fiber Sub-Loops and Dark Fiber IOF that have been broken. Verizon
will not repair a Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber
'OF that is capable of transmitting light, even if the transmission
characteristics of the Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark
Fiber IOF have changed.
CP is responsible for all work activities at the Customer premises.
Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, all negotiations with
the premises owner are solely the responsibility of CPo
CP may request the following, which shall be provided on a time and
materials basis (as set forth in the Pricing Attachment):
19.A fiber layout map that shows the streets within a Verizon
Wire Center where there are existing Verizon fiber cable
sheaths. Verizon shall provide such maps to CP subject to
the agreement of CP, in writing, to treat the maps as
confidential and to use them for preliminary design
purposes only. CP acknowledges that fiber layout maps do
not show whether or not spare Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber
Sub-Loops, or Dark Fiber IOF are available. Verizon shall
provide fiber layout maps to CP subject to a negotiated
interval.
19.A field survey that shows the availability of Dark Fiber
Loop(s), Dark Fiber Sub-Loop(s) or Dark Fiber IOF between
two or more Verizon Central Offices, a Verizon Central
Office and a CP. Central Office or a VerizonEnd Office and
the premises of a Customer, shows whether or not such
Dark Fiber Loop(s), Dark Fiber Sub-Loop(s), or Dark Fiber
IOF are defective, shows whether or not such Dark Fiber
Loop(s), Dark Fiber Sub-Loop(s) or Dark Fiber IOF have
been used by Verizon for emergency restoration activity and
107
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
tests the transmission characteristics of Verizon s Dark
Fiber Loop(s), Dark Fiber Sub-Loop(s) or Dark Fiber IOF. If
a field survey shows that a Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber
Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF is available, CP may reserve
the Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber
IOF, as applicable, for ten (10) Business Days from receipt
of Verizon sfield survey results. If CP submits an order for
access to such Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or
Dark Fiber IOF after passage of the foregoing ten (10)
Business Day reservation period , Verizon does not
guarantee or warrant the Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-
Loop or Dark Fiber IOF will be available when Verizon
receives such order, and CP assumes all risk that the Dark
Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF will not
be available. Verizon shall perform a field survey subject to
a negotiated interval. If a CP submits an order for a Dark
Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF without
first obtaining the results of a field survey of such Dark Fiber
Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or Dark Fiber IOF, CP assumes
all risk that the Dark Fiber Loop, Dark Fiber Sub-Loop or
Dark Fiber IOF will not be compatible with Cp's equipment
including, but not limited to, order cancellation charges.
Network Interface Device
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon
request by CP, Verizon shall permit CP to connect a CP Loop to the Inside
Wiring of a Customer s premises through the use of a Verizon NID in accordance
with this Section 9 and the rates and charges provided in the Pricing Attachment.
Verizon shall provide CP with access to NIDs in accordance with, but only to the
extent required by, Applicable Law. CP may access a Verizon NID either by
means of a connection (but only if the use of such connection is technically
feasible) from an adjoining CP NID deployed by CP or, if an entrance module is
available in the Verizon NID, by connecting a CP Loop to the Verizon NID. When
necessary, Verizon will rearrange its facilities to provide access to an existing
Customer's Inside Wire. An entrance module is available only if facilities are not
connected to it.
In no case shall CP access, remove, disconnect or in any other way rearrange
Verizon s Loop facilities from Verizon s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.
In no case shall CP access, remove , disconnect or in any other way rearrange, a
Customer s Inside Wiring from Verizon s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors where
such Customer Inside Wiring is used in the provision of ongoing
Telecommunications Service to that Customer.
9.4 In no case shall CP remove or disconnect ground wires from Verizon s NIDs
enclosures, or protectors.
In no case shall CP remove or disconnect NID modules, protectors, or terminals
from Verizon s NID enclosures.
Maintenance and control of premises Inside Wiring is the responsibility of the
Customer. Any conflicts between service providers for access to the Customer
Inside Wiring must be resolved by the person who controls use of the wiring
(e., the Customer).
108
10.
When CP is connecting a CP-provided Loop to the Inside Wiring of a Customer's
premises through the Customer s side of the Verizon NID, CP does not need to
submit a request to Verizon and Verizon shall not charge CP for access to the
Verizon NID. In such instances, CP shall comply with the provisions of Sections
2 through 9.7 of this Attachment and shall access the Customer s Inside Wire
in the manner set forth in Section 9.8 of this Attachment.
Due to the wide variety of NIDs utilized by Verizon (based on Customer size and
environmental considerations), CP may access the Customer s Inside Wiring,
acting as the agent of the Customer by any of the following means:
Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is present and
environmental conditions permit, CP may remove the Inside Wiring
from the Customer's side of the Verizon NID and connect that Inside
Wiring to CP's Nib.
Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is not present or
environmental conditions do not permit, CP may enter the Customer
side of the Verizon NID enclosure for the purpose of removing the
Inside Wiring from the terminals of Verizon s NID and connecting a
connectorized or spliced jumper wire from a suitable "punch out" hole
of such NID enclosure to the Inside Wiring within the space of the
Customer side of the Verizon NID. Such connection shall be
electrically insulated and shall not make any contact with the
connection points or terminals within the Customer side of the Verizon
NID.
CP may request Verizon to make other rearrangements to the Inside
Wiring terminations or terminal enclosure on a time and materials cost
basis to be charged to the requesting party (I.e. CP, its agent, the
building owner or the Customer). If CP accesses the Customer
Inside Wiring as described in this Section 9., time and materials
charges will be billed to the requesting party (I.e. CP, its agent, the
building owner or the Customer).

combination with other UNEs), CP shall complete the NDR process. As part of
the NDR process, CP shall request standardized or customized routing of its
Customer traffic in conjunction with the provision of unbundled local circuit
switching.
If CP selects customized routing, CP shall define the routing plan and Verizon
shall implement such plan, subject to technical feasibility constraints. Time and
Material Charges may apply.
Tandem Circuit Switching.
The unbundled Tandem circuit switching element includes trunk-connect
facilities, the basic circuit switching function of connecting trunks to trunks, and
the functions that are centralized in Tandem circuit switches. Unbundled
Tandem circuit switching creates a temporary transmission path between
interoffice trunks that are interconnected at a Verizon access Tandem for the
purpose of routing a call or calls.
11.
Unbundled Interoffice Facilities
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment, where facilities
are available, at CP's request, Verizon shall provide CP with interoffice facilities
(IOF) unbundled from other Network Elements at the rates set forth in the Pricing
Attachment; provided , however, that Verizon shall offer unbundled shared .IOF
only to the extent that CP also purchases unbundled local circuit switching

Law to convert (and wishes to convert) such transport to unbundled IOF under
this Agreement, it shall give Verizon written notice of such request (including,
without limitation, through submission of ASRs if Verizon so requests) and
provide to Verizon all information (including, without limitation , a listing of the
specific circuits in question) that Verizon reasonably requires to effectuate such
conversion. In the case of any such conversion, CP shall pay any and all
conversion charges (e., non-recurring charges), as well as any and all
termination liabilities, minimum service period charges and like charges in
accordance with Verizon s applicable tariffs.
Signaling Networks and Call-Related Databases
12.Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon
request by CP , Verizon shall provide CP with access to databases and
associated signaling necessary for call routing and completion by providing SS7
Common Channel Signaling ("CCS") Interconnection, and Interconnection and
access to toll free service access code (e., 800/888/877) databases, LlDB, and
any other necessary databases, in accordance with this Section 12 and the rates
and charges provided in the Pricing Attachment. Such access shall be provided
by Verizon in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law.
12.CP shall provide Verizon with CCS Interconnection required for call routing and
completion, and the billing of calls which involve CP's Customers, at non-
discriminatory rates (subject to the provisions of the Pricing Attachment), terms
and conditions, provided further that if the CP information Verizon requires to
provide such call-related functionality is resident in a database, CP will provide
Verizon with the access and authorization to query CP's information in the
databases within which it is stored.
Alternatively, either Party ("Purchasing Party ) may secure CCS Interconnection
from a commercial SS7 hub provider (third party signaling provider) to transport
signaling messages to and from the Verizon CCS network, and in that case the
other Party will permit the Purchasing Party to access the same databases as
would have been accessible if the Purchasing Party had connected directly to the
other Party's CCS network. If a third party signaling provider is selected by CP to
transport signaling messages, that third party provider must present a letter of
agency to Verizon, prior to the testing of the interconnection, authorizing the third
party to act on behalf of CP.
Regardless of the manner in which CP obtains CCS Interconnection, CP shall
comply with Verizon s SS7 certification process prior to establishing CCS
Interconnection with Verizon.
The Parties will provide CCS Signaling to each other, where and as available, in
conjunction with all Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, Toll Traffic, Meet Point
Billing Traffic, and Transit Traffic. The Parties will cooperate on the exchange of
TCAP messages to facilitate interoperability of CCS-based features between
their respective networks, including all CLASS Features and functions, to the
extent each Party offers such features and functions to its Customers. All CCS
Signaling parameters will be provided upon request(where available), including
called party number, Calling Party Number, originating line information, calling
party category, and charge number. All privacy indicators will be honored as
required under applicable law.
The Parties will follow all OBF-adopted standards pertaining to CIC/OZZ codes.

Where CCS Signaling is not available, in-band multi-frequency ("MF") wink start
signaling will be provided. Any such MF arrangement will require a separate
local trunk circuit between the Parties' respective switches in those instances
where the Parties have established End Office to End Office high usage trunk
groups. In such an arrangement, each Party will out pulse the full ten-digit
telephone number of the called Party to the other Party.
The Parties acknowledge that there is a network security risk associated with
interconnection with the public Internet Protocol network, including, but not
limited to, the risk that interconnection of CP signaling systems to the public
Internet Protocol network may expose CP and Verizon signaling systems and
information to interference by third parties. CP shall notify Verizon in writing sixty
(60) days in advance of installation of any network arrangement that may expose
signaling systems or information to access through the public Internet Protocol
network. CP shall take commercially reasonable efforts to protect its signaling
systems and Verizon s signaling systems from interference by unauthorized
persons.
Each Party shall provide trunk groups, where available and upon reasonable
request, that are configured utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear
channel transmission to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties
respective networks.
The following publications describe the practices, procedures and specifications
generally utilized by Verizon for signaling purposes and are listed herein to assist
the Parties in meeting their respective Interconnection responsibilities related to
Signaling:

Each Party shall charge the other Party mutual and reciprocal rates for any
usage-based charges for CCS Signaling, toll free service access code (e.
800/888/877) database access, LlDB access, and access to other necessary
databases, as follows: Verizon shall charge CP in accordance with the Pricing
Attachment and the terms and conditions in applicable Tariffs. CP shall charge
Verizon rates equal to the rates Verizon charges CP, unless CP's Tariffs for CCS
signaling provide for lower generally available rates, in which case CP shall
charge Verizon such lower rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a
Party uses a third party vendor for the provision of CCS Signaling, such charges
shall apply only to the third party vendor.

COLLOCATION ATTACHMENT
Verizon s Provision of Collocation
Verizon shall provide to CP, in accordance with this Agreement (including, but not limited
to, Verizon s applicable Tariffs) and the requirements of Applicable Law, collocation for
the purpose of facilitating CP's interconnection with facilities or services of Verizon or
access to Unbundled Network Elements of Verizon; provided, that notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, Verizon shall be obligated to provide collocation to CP
only to the extent required by Applicable Law and may decline to provide collocation to
CP to the extent that provision of collocation is not required by Applicable Law.
Because the Commission rejected Verizon s Collocation Tariff Advice No. 00-05 in Order
No. 28490 on August 29, 2000, Verizon shall provide collocation according to the
following terms and conditions in the State of Idaho on an interim basis only until such
time as the Commission s decision is reversed and Verizon s Collocation Tariff Advice
No. 00-05 is permitted to go into effect or until such time as Verizon files another
collocation Tariff in Idaho. At such time as the Commission s decision is reversed and
Verizon s Collocation Tariff Advice No. 00-05 is permitted to go into effect or at such time
as there is a Verizon collocation Tariff on file with the Commission, and subject to the
foregoing, the following terms and conditions will be rendered ineffectual, and Verizon
shall provide collocation to CP in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
Verizon s collocation Tariff, and Verizon shall do so regardless of whether or not such
terms and conditions are effective.
Section 1 of this Collocation Attachment ("Attachment"), in conjunction with the rest of
this Agreement, set forth the terms and a conditions under which Verizon shall provide
collocation services to CP. Collocation provides for access to Verizon s "premises , for
the purpose of interconnection and/or access to Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs).
For the purposes of this Attachment, "premises. is defined to include Verizon s central
offices, serving Wire Centers, and all other buildings or similar structures owned, leased
or otherwise controlled by Verizon that house Verizon s network facilities. Collocation at
Verizon s Wire Centers and access tandems shall be accomplished through caged
cageless, virtual or microwave service offerings, as described below, except if not
practical for technical reasons or due to space limitations. In such event, Verizon shall
provide adjacent collocation or other methods of collocation, subject to space availability
and technical feasibility. As required by Applicable Law, Verizon shall also offer rates,
terms and conditions for collocation services that are not expressly addressed in this
Attachment or other Verizon Tariffs on an individual case basis, and in doing so, shall
comply with all applicable federal or state requirements.
Types of Collocation.
Sinole Caoed. A single caged arrangement is a form of caged
collocation, which allows a single CLEC to lease caged floor space to
house its equipment within Verizon premises.
Shared Caoed. A shared caged arrangement is a newly constructed
caged collocation arrangement that is jointly applied for and occupied
by two or more ClECs within a Verizon premise. When two or more
CLECs request establishment and jointly apply for a new caged
collocation arrangement to be used as a shared caged arrangement
one of the participating CLECs must agree to be the host CLEC (HC)
and the other(s) to be the guest CLEC (GC). The HC and GC(s) are
CP 10 camp v2.7j.doc 116
1.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
solely responsible for determining whether to share a shared caged
collocation arrangement and if so , upon what terms and conditions.
The HC and GC(s) must each be interconnected to Verizon for the
exchang.e of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled network
elements. Verizon will not issue separate billing for any of the rate
elements associated with the shared caged collocation arrangement
between the HC and the GC(s), but Verizon will provide the HC with
information on the proportionate share of the NRCs for each CLEC in
the shared arrangement. The HC will be responsible for ordering and
payment of all collocation applicable services ordered by the HC and
GC(s). The HC and GC will be responsible for ordering their own
unbundled network elements from Verizon. Verizon will separately bill
the HC and/or GC(s) for unbundled network elements ordered. The
HC and GC(s) are Verizon s customers and have all the rights and
obligations applicable hereunder to CLECs purchasing collocation-
related services, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all
applicable charges, whether or not the HC is reimbursed for all or any
portion of such charges by the guest(s). All terms and conditions for
caged collocation as described in this Attachment will apply to shared
caged collocation requirements.
Subleased Caqed.Vacant space available in a CLEC's caged
collocation arrangement may be made available to a third party(s) for
the purpose of interconnection and/or for access to UNEs in Verizon
premises via the subleasing collocation arrangement. The CLEC
subleases the floor space to the third party( s) pursuant to terms and
conditions agreed to by the CLEC and the third party(s) involved. The
CLEC and third party(s) must each be interconnected to Verizon for
the exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled
network elements. The CLEC is solely responsible for determining
whether to sublease a shared caged collocation arrangement and if
so, upon what terms and conditions. Verizon will not issue separate
billing for any of the rate elements associated with the subleased
caged collocation arrangement between the CLEC and the third
party(s). The CLEC will be responsible for ordering and payment of all
collocation applicable services ordered by the CLEC and the third
party(s). Each CLEC and third party will be responsible for ordering
their own unbundled network elements from Verizon. Verizon will
separately bill the CLEC and third party/parties for unbundled network
elements ordered. The CLEC and third party(s) are Verizon
customers and have all the rights and obligations applicable hereunder
to CLECs purchasing collocation-related services, including, without
limitation, the obligation to pay all applicable charges, whether or not
the CLEC is reimbursed for all or any portion of such charges by the
third party(s). All terms and conditions for caged collocation as
described in this Attachment will apply to subleased caged collocation
requirements.
Caqeless. Cageless collocation is a form of collocation in which
CLECs can place their equipment in Verizon premises. A cage less
collocation arrangement allows a CLEC, using Verizon approved
vendors, to install equipment in single bay increments in an area
designated by Verizon. The equipment location will be designated by
Verizon and will vary based on individual Verizon premise
configurations. CLEC equipment will not share the same equipment
bays with Verizon equipment.

Ordering.
Adiacent.An adjacent collocation arrangement permits a CLEC to
construct or procure a structure on Verizon property for collocation for
the purposes of interconnection and/or access to UNEs in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Adjacent collocation
is only an option when the following conditions are met: (1) space is
legitimately exhausted in Verizon s premise for caged and cageless
collocation; and (2) it is technically feasible to construct or procure a
hut or similar structure on Verizon property that adheres to local
building code, zoning requirements, and Verizon building standards.
CP is responsible for complying with all zoning requirements, any
federal, state or local regulations, ordinances and laws, and obtaining
all associated permits. Verizon may, where required, participate in the
zoning approval and permit acquisitions. CP may not take any action
in establishing an adjacent structure that will force Verizon to violate
any zoning requirements or any federal, state, or local regulations,
ordinances, or laws.
Any construction by CP on Verizon property must comply with
Verizon s technical specifications as they relate to environmental
safety and grounding requirements. Verizon will make available power
and physical collocation services to CP in the same non-discriminatory
manner as it provides itself for its own remote equipment buildings
(REBs).
Virtual.Under virtual collocation, Verizon installs and maintains CP
provided equipment which is dedicated to the exclusive use of the CP
in a collocation arrangement. Additional details on virtual collocation
are set forth in Section 1.
Microwave. Physical collocation of microwave transmission facilities
will be permitted on a first-come, first-served basis except where such
collocation is not practical for technical reasons or because of space
limitations. Microwave collocation provides for the interconnection of
CP or Verizon provided facilities, equipment and support structures
located in, on or above the exterior walls and roof of Verizon premises.
Additional details on microwave collocation are set forth in Section
10.
Application.
1.2.Point of Contact.CP must request collocation
arrangements through Verizon s designated point of
contact. Completed applications for collocation must be
sent directly to Verizon s Collocation Project Manager at the
following address: Collocation Project Manager, Verizon
125 High Street, Room 1134, Boston, MA 02110;
Facsimile: [phone]; E-Mail at:
collocation.applicationslIDverizon.com . Additional
information and requirements regarding collocation may be
obtained from Verizon s public website at www.verizon.com.
Application Form/Fee. CP requesting collocation at a
Verizon premise will be required to complete the application
form and submit the non-refundable engineering fee set
118
2.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
forth in Appendix A, described in Section 1., for each
Verizon premise at which collocation is requested. The
application form will require CP to provide all engineering,
floor space (where applicable), power, environmental and
other requirements necessary for the function of the service.
CP will provide Verizon with specifications for any non-
standard or special requirements at the time of application.
Verizon reserves the right to assess the customer any
additional charges on an individual case basis ("ICB"
associated with complying with the requirements. Any such
charges shall be noticed to CP.
Verizon will process collocation requests from CLECs on a
first-come, first-serve basis pursuant to Verizon s receipt of
a completed application form and the non-refundable
engineering fee.
Space Availabilitv. Subject to forecasting requirements, Verizon will
inform CP whether space is available to accommodate Cp's request
within eight (8) Business Days after receipt of a completed application.
Verizon s response will be one of the following:
There is space and Verizon will proceed with the
arrangement.
There is no space. Verizon will proceed as described in
Section 1.4.
There is no readily available space, however, Verizon will
determine whether space can be made available and will
notify CP within twenty (20) Business Days. At the end of
this period, Verizon will proceed as described in 1.10r
2 above.
Collocation Schedule. If space is available , Verizon will provide to CP
a collocation schedule describing Verizon s ability to meet the physical
collocation request within eight (8) Business Days after receipt of a
completed application. CP shall have nine (9) Business Days from
receipt of a Verizon provided collocation schedule to pay 50% of the
NRCs associated with the ordered collocation services.
If the application is deficient, Verizon will specify in writing, within eight (8)
Business Days, the information that must be provided by CP in order to
complete the application. If CP resubmits a revised application curing any
deficiencies in its original application within 10 calendar days after being
informed of them, CP shall retain its position within the collocation
application queue.
(Intentionally Left Blank).
Auamentation. All requests for an addition, partial reduction, or
. change to an existing.collocation arrangement that has been inspected
and turned over to CP is considered an augmentation. An
augmentation request will require the submission of a complete
application form and a non-refundable engineering or minor augment
fee. A minor augment fee may not be required under the
119
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
circumstances outlined below. The definition of a major or minor
augment is as follows:
1.2.Major augments of collocation arrangements are those
requests that: (a) require AC or DC power; (b) add
equipment that generates more BTU's of heat, or (c)
increase the floor space over what CP requested in its
original application. A complete application and engineering
fee will be required when submitting a request that requires
a major augment.
Minor augments of collocation arrangements will require the
submission of a complete application form and the minor
augment fee. Minor augments are those requests that: (a)
do not require additional DC and AC power, (b) do not add
equipment that generates more BTU's of heat, (c) do not
increase floor space, and (d) do not add transmission
cables, over what CP requested in its original application.
The requirements of a minor augment request cannot
exceed the capacity of the existing/proposed electrical
power or HVAC system. Requests for additional DSO , DS1
and DS3 facility terminations to access Verizon s unbundled
network elements are included as minor augments,
providing no additional transmission cables are required.
Minor augments that require an augment fee are those
requests that require Verizon to perform a service or
function on behalf of CP including but not limited to:
installation of virtual equipment cards or software upgrades,
removal of virtual equipment, requests to pull cable from
exterior microwave facilities, and requests to terminate DSO,
DS1 and DS3 cables.
Minor augments that do not require a fee are those
augments performed solely by CP, that do not require
Verizon to provide a service or function on behalf of CP
including but not limited to, requests to install additional
equipment in CP collocation space. Prior to the installation
of the additional equipment, CP agrees to provide Verizon
an application form with an updated equipment listing that
includes the new equipment to be installed in CP'
collocation arrangement. Once the equipment list is
submitted to Verizon, CP may proceed with the augment.
CP agrees that changes in equipment provided by CP under
this provision will not exceed the engineering specifications
for power and HVAC as requested on original application.
All augments will be subject to Verizon inspection, in
accordance with term of this contract for the purpose of
ensuring compliance with Verizon safety standards.
ExDansion. Verizon will not be required to construct additional space
toprb\tiae for CP collocation when available spate has been
exhausted. Where CP seeks to expand its existing collocation space
Verizon shall make contiguous space available to the extent possible;
provided, however, Verizon does not guarantee contiguous space to
CP to expand its existing collocation space. CP requests for
120
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
expansion of existing space within a specific Verizon premise will
require the submission of an application form and the appropriate
major augment fee.
Relocation. CP requests for relocation of the termination equipment
from one location to a different location within the same Verizon
premise will be handled on an ICB basis. CP will be responsible for all
costs associated with the relocation of its equipment.
Installation and Operation.
Joint Plannina and Implementation Levels for Physical Collocation
Verizon and CP shall work cooperatively in meeting the standard
implementation milestones and deliverables as determined during the
joint planning process. The physical (caged and cageless) collocation
arrangement implementation interval is seventy-six (76) Business
Days for all standard arrangement requests which were properly
forecast six (6) months prior to the application date, subject to the
conditions set forth for forecasting and capacity. Major construction
obstacles or special CP requirements may extend the interval by
fifteen (15) Business Days, resulting in a ninety-one (91 )-Business
Day interval.
The interval for collocation augments which were properly
forecast six months prior to the application date, subject to
Section 1.1.4 as well as the conditions for forecasting and
capacity, is forty-five (45) Business Days where the
necessary infrastructure is installed and available for use.
Such augments are limited to the following:
800 2 wire voice grade terminations, or
400 4 wire voice grade terminations, or
600 line sharinglline splitting facilities, where line
sharing/splitting already exists within the central
office and where CP is eligible for line
sharinglline splitting, or
1.4 28 OS 1 terminations, or
24 OS3 terminations, or
12 fiber terminations, or
Conversion of 2 wire voice grade to 4 wire
(minimum 100 - maximum 800), or
2 feeds (1A and 1 B) DC power fused at 60 amps
or less, or
DC Power as defined in 8 preceding, plus any
one (1) additional item as defined in 1 through 7
preceding; or 2 of the following: a) 28 OS1
terminations; b) 3 DS3 terminations; or c) 12
fiber terminations. CP must have 100% of all
cables terminated to the existing cross connects
for the one additional item selected and the in-
121
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
1.4
service capacity of that selection must be at
85% utilization or above unless CP can
demonstrate to Verizon that: a) the previous two
months trend in growth would exceed 100% of
the available capacity by the end of the forty-five
(45) Business Day augment interval; or b) other
good cause or causes that CP cross connect
capacity may be exceeded by the end of the
forty-five (45) Business Day augment interval.
For 2 wire to 4 wire voice grade conversions, all pairs must
be spare and in consecutive 100 pair counts.
The following standard implementation milestones will
apply, in Business Days, unless Verizon and CP jointly
decide otherwise:
3.4
Day 1-CP submits completed application and
associated fee.
Day 8-Verizon notifies CP that request can be
accommodated and advises of due date.
Day 17 -CP notifies Verizon of its intent to
proceed and submits 50% payment.
Day 30-Material ships and is received at
vendor warehouse; CP provided splitters
delivered to vendor warehouse (Line Sharing
Option C only, and applicable only where CP is
eligible for line sharing/line splitting).
Day 45-Augment (as defined herein)
completes.
Day 76-Verizon and CP attend collocation
acceptance meeting and Verizon turns over the
collocation arrangement to CP. Day 76 also
applies to completion of other augments not
defined herein.
The forty-five (45) Business Day interval is subject to the
following requirements:
1.4.
1.4.
1.4.
Infrastructure to support the requested augment
must be in place (e., cable racking from
common area to distributing frames, relay racks
for splitter shelves, frame capacity for
termination blocks, cable holes, fuse positions at
existing Battery Distribution Fuse Boards
(BDFBs).
The OP must install sufficient equipment to
support requested terminations/facilities.
In large central offices with complex cable runs
(i.e., multiple floors), the Verizon may request to
122
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
negotiate extensions to the forty-five (45)
Business Day interval.
A preliminary schedule will be developed outlining major
milestones. CP and Verizon control various interim
milestones they must complete in order to meet the overall
intervals. The interval clock will stop, and the final due date
will be adjusted accordingly, for each milestone CP misses
(day for day). When Verizon becomes aware of the
possibility of vendor delays, Verizon will first contact CP to
attempt to negotiate a new interval. If Verizon and CP
cannot agree, the dispute will be submitted to the
Commission for prompt resolution. Verizon and CP shall
conduct additional joint planning meetings, as reasonably
required, to ensure that all known issues are discussed and
to address any that may impact the implementation
process. Verizon will permit CP to schedule one escorted
visit to CP's collocation space during construction. The
applicable labor rates in Appendix A will be applied for the
escorted visit. In the case of extended intervals resulting from
within Verizon s control or resulting from vendor delays, and
provided the necessary security is in place, Verizon will permit
CP access to the collocation arrangement to install equipment
while the delayed work is completed, so long as it is safe to do
so and Cp's work does not impair or interfere with Verizon in
completing Verizon s work. Prior to CP beginning the
installation of its equipment, CP must sign a conditional
acceptance of the collocation arrangement. If CP elects to
accept the space prior to the scheduled completion, occupancy
fees shall commence upon signing a conditional acceptance of
the space by CP.
Intervals for non-standard arrangements, including adjacent
collocation, shall be mutually agreed upon by CP and
Verizon.
Verizon will inform the Commission as soon as it knows it
will require raw space conversion to fulfill a request based
on an application or forecast. Raw space conversion
timeframes are negotiated on an individual case basis
based on negotiations with the site preparation vendor(s).
Verizon will use its best efforts to minimize the additional
time required to condition collocation space , and will inform
CP of the time estimates as soon as possible.
Forecasting and Use of Data.
Verizon will request forecasts from CP on a semi-annual
basis, with each forecast covering a two-year period. CP
will be required to update the near-term (6-month)
forecasted application dates. Information requested will
include central office, month applications are expected to be
sent, requested in-service month, preference for virtual or
physical (caged or cageless) collocation , square footage
required (physical), high-level list of equipment to be
installed (virtual), and anticipated splitter arrangements
where CP is eligible for line sharing/line splitting. For
123
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
augments, CP may elect to substitute alternative CLLI
codes within a LATA for the forecasted demand.
If Verizon has a written guarantee of reimbursement, it will
examine forecasts for offices in which it is necessary to
condition space, and discuss these forecasts with CP to
determine the required space to be conditioned. If Verizon
commits to condition space based on forecasts and if CP is
assigned space, CP will give Verizon a non-refundable deposit
equal to the application fee. Verizon will perform initial reviews
of requested central offices forecasted for the next six months
to identify potential problem sites. Verizon will consider
forecasts in staffing decisions. Verizon win enter into planning
discussions with CP to validate forecasts, discuss flexibility in
potential trouble areas, and assist in application preparation.
Unforecasted demand (including augments) will be given a
lesser priority than forecasted demand. Verizon will make
every attempt to meet standard intervals for unforecasted
requests. However, if unanticipated requests push demand
beyond Verizon s capacity limits, Verizon will negotiate
longer intervals as required (and within reason). In general
ifforecasts are received less than two (2) months prior to
the application date, the interval start day may be
postponed as follows:
No forecast: Interval Start Date commences two
(2) months after application receipt date.
2.2 Forecast received one (1) month or less prior to
application receipt date: Interval Start Date
commences two (2) months after application
receipt date.
Forecast received greater than one (1) month
and less than two (2) months prior to application
receipt date: Interval Start Date commences
one (1) month after application receipt date.
2.4 Forecast received two (2) months or more prior
to application receipt date: Interval Start Date
commences on the application receipt date.
Any such interval adjustments will be discussed with CP at
the time the application is received.
Collocation Capacity.
Verizon s estimate of its present capacity (i.e., no more than
an increase of 15% over the average number of
applications received for the preceding three months in a
particqlargE;Jograpl1ic arE;Ja) is based on current staffing and
current vendor arrangements. If the forecasts indicate
spikes in demand, Verizon will attempt to smooth the
demand via negotiations with the forecasting CLECs.
Verizon and CP fail to agree to smooth demand , Verizon
will determine if additional expenditures would be required
124
3.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
to satisfy the spikes in demand and will work with the
Commission Staff to determine whether such additional
expenditure is warranted and to evaluate cost recovery
options.
If Verizon augments its workforce based on CP forecasts
and if CP refuses to smooth demand as described in
Section 1., CP will be held accountable for the
accuracy of their forecasts.
Vendor Capacity. Verizon will continuously seek to improve vendor
performance for all premises work, including collocation. Since the
vendors require notice in order to meet increases in demand, Verizon
will share CP actual and forecasted demand with appropriate vendors
as required , subject to the appropriate confidentiality safeguards.
Responsibility for Vendor Delavs. No party shall be excused from their
obligations due to the acts or omissions of a Party s subcontractors
material, person, suppliers or other third persons providing such
products or services to such Party unless such acts or omissions are
the product of a Force Majeure Event, or unless such delay or failure
and the consequences thereof are beyond the reasonable control and
without the fault or negligence of the Party claiming excusable delay or
failure to perform.
Space Preparation.
Cage Construction . For caged collocation, CP may
construct the cage with a standard enclosure if they are a
Verizon approved contractor or CP may subcontract this
work to a Verizon approved contractor.
Site Selection/Power.Verizon shall designate the space
within its premise where CP shall collocate its equipment.
Verizon will assign collocation space to CP in a just
reasonable, and nondiscriminatory manner. Verizon will
allow CP requesting caged or cageless collocation to submit
space preferences on the Application Form prior to
assigning caged and cageless collocation space to CP.
Verizon will assign caged and cageless space in
accordance with the following standards: (1) CP'
collocation costs cannot be materially increased by the
assignment; (2) CP's occupation and use of Verizon
premises cannot be materially delayed by the assignment;
(3) The assignment cannot impair the quality of service or
impose other limitations on the service CP wishes to offer;
and (4) The assignment cannot reduce unreasonably the
total space available for caged and cageless collocation, or
preclude unreasonably, caged and cageless collocation
within Verizon s premises.
VerizQl"unayassign caged and cClgelesscollocation to
space separate from space housing Verizon s equipment
provided that each of the following conditions is met: (1)
Either legitimate security concerns, or operational
constraints unrelated to Verizon s or any of its affiliates' or
subsidiaries competitive concerns, warrant such separation;
125
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
6.4
(2) Any caged and cageless collocation space assigned to
an affiliate or subsidiary of Verizon is separated from space
housing Verizon s equipment; (3) The separated space will
be available in the same time frame as, or a shorter time
frame than, non-separated space; (4) The cost of the
separated space to CP will not be materially higher than the
cost of non-separated space; and (5) The separated space
is comparable , from a technical and engineering standpoint,
to non-separated space.
Where applicable, Verizon shall provide, at the rates set
forth in Appendix A described in Section 1., 48V DC
power with generator and/or battery back-up, heat, air
conditioning and other environmental support to CP'
equipment in the same standards and parameters required
for Verizon equipment within that Verizon premise. CP may
install AC convenience outlets and overhead lighting if CP is
a Verizon approved contractor, or this work may be
subcontracted to a Verizon approved contractor.
DC Power.Verizon will provide DC power to the collocation
arrangement as specified by CP in its collocation
application. The CP will specify the load on each feed and
the size of the fuse to be placed on each feed. CP must
order a minimum of ten (10) load amps for each caged
cageless , and virtual collocation arrangement. CP may
order additional DC Power (beyond the minimum) in one (1)
amp increments. Charges for DC power will be applied
based on the total number of load amps ordered on each
feed.
For example, if CP orders a total of 40 load amps of DC
power and an A and B feed, CP could order 20 load amps
on the A feed and 20 load amps on the B feed. Verizon will
permit CP to order a fuse size up to 2.5 times the load amps
ordered provided that applicable law permits this practice.
Thus, CP could order that each feed be fused at 50 amps if
CP wants one feed to carry the entire load in the event the
other feed fails. Accordingly, CP will be charged on the
basis of the total number of load amps ordered, i.e., 40
amps, and not based on the total number of amps available
for the fuse size ordered.
CP is responsible for engineering the power consumption in
its collocation arrangements and therefore must consider
any special circumstances in determining the fused capacity
of each feed. Verizon will engineer the power feeds to the
collocation arrangement in accordance with industry
standards based upon requirements ordered by CP in its
collocation application. Any subsequent orders to increase
DC power load ata collocation arrangement must be
submitted on a collocation application.
Verizon reserves the right to perform random inspections to
verify the actual power load being drawn by a collocation
arrangement. At any time, without written notice, Verizon
126
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
may measure the DC power drawn at an arrangement by
monitoring Verizon s power distribution point. In those
instances where Verizon needs access to the collocation
arrangement to make these measurements, Verizon will
schedule a joint meeting with CP.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn does
not exceed the total number of load amps ordered, no
further action will apply.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn
exceeds the total number of load amps ordered but is within
the applicable buffer zone , as defined in Section 1.
. that arrangement is subject to the following treatment:
Verizon will provide CP with written notification,
by certified US mail to the person designated by
CP to receive such notice, that more power is
being drawn than was ordered. Within ten (10)
Business Days of the date of receipt of
notification, CP must reduce the power being
drawn to match its ordered load or revise its
power requirement to accommodate the
additional power being drawn. Verizon will
accept a certification signed by a representative
of CP that power consumption has been
reduced to match the ordered load. Failure to
reduce the power being drawn or submit a
revised application within ten (10) Business
Days will result in an increase in the amount of
power being billed to the audited load amount.
For a collocation arrangement that has 100
amps or less fused , the buffer zone for the first
two violations during a consecutive twelve (12)
month period will be 120% of load , as long as
the second violation is not for the same
collocation arrangement as the first. For any
subsequent violations, or if the second violation
is for the same collocation arrangement, and for
any violation where the collocation arrangement
has more than 100 amps fused, the buffer zone
will be 110% of load.
If the first inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than the applicable buffer zone specified in
, that arrangement is subject to the following
treatment:
Verizon will notify the person designated by CP
to receive such notice via telephone or e-mail
that Verizon will take asecond measurement no
sooner than one (1) hour and no later than two
(2) days after the initial inspection. Verizon will
not wait for CP or require it to be present during
the second inspection.
127
8.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Additional Labor charges, as set forth in
Appendix A, apply for the cost associated with
performing this inspection.
CP may perform its own inspection at CP'
cage. CP is not required to wait for Verizon or
require it to be present during CP test. Upon
request of CP , Verizon will send a
representative to accompany CP to conduct a
joint inspection at CP cage at no charge to CP.
Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit CP
from testing at its own cage. CP will send the
results of its own audit measurements to Verizon
if they are taken in response to a notice of
violation under this section and if CP'
measurements differ from Verizon
If the second test also exceeds the applicable
buffer zone, Verizon will provide CP with written
notification, within ten (10) Business Days, by
certified U.S. mail to the person designated by
CP to receive such notice that it has exceeded
its ordered power. The notification will include:
(1) initials or identifying number of Verizon
technician(s) who performed the inspection; (2)
dates and times of the inspections; (3) the make
model and type of test equipment used; (4) the
length of monitoring and the results of the
specific audit; (5) the total load amps currently
being billed; (6) how the test was done; and (7)
any other relevant information or documents.
Verizon will maintain a file of results taken of any
inspections for two (2) years and such file will be
made available to CP that was audited, upon
request. Verizon will treat as confidential
information the identity of CLECs that it audits
as well as the results of such audits, unless it
receives prior written consent of the affected
CLEC to disclose such information or is required
by Applicable Law to disclose such information
to a court or commission. The foregoing does
not preclude Verizon from making the notice
described in Section 1.
If CP disagrees with the results of the audit, CP
will first notify Verizon. Verizon and CP will
make a good faith effort to resolve the issue. If
the parties do not resolve the issue, either party
can invoke dispute resolution processes set
forth in this Agreement. The dispute resolution
process set forth inthisAgreement can be
initiated by either party after thirty (30) calendar
days have elapsed. This period commences: (1)
ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the
notification , in the case of violation within the
128
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
buffer zone; or (2) after CP has received notice
of the second test, in the case of a violation over
the buffer zone.
With the notification required by Section
8.4, Verizon will also notify CP that it must
submit a non-scheduled attestation of the power
being drawn at each of its remaining collocation
arrangements in the state. CP must submit this
non-scheduled attestation within fifteen (15)
Business Days of the date of this notification.
Failure to submit this non-scheduled attestation
will result in the application of additional labor
charges for any subsequent DC power
inspections Verizon performs prior to receipt of
the next scheduled attestation. Scheduled
attestations are defined in Section 1.11.
If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than the applicable buffer zone set forth in Section
2, then CP shall pay Verizon for additional power, as
well as make separate and additional payments to a
charitable organization agreed upon by the parties
("Charity") in accordance with the following:
For the first such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period, CP will be
billed the audited load amount for four (4)
months. CP will make a separate and additional
payment to the Charity, measured as the
difference between the billing of the fused
capacity and the billing at the audited load for
four (4) months. CP must send notice of its
Charity payment to Verizon within ten (10)
calendar days of making the payment.
For the second such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period , CP will be
billed the audited load amount for five (5)
months. CP will make a separate and additional
payment to the Charity, measured as the
difference between the billing of the fused
capacity and the billing at the audited load for
five (5) months. CP must send notice of its
Charity payment to Verizon within ten (10)
calendar days of making the payment.
For the third such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period, CP will be
billed the audited load amount for six (6)
months. CP will make a separate and additional
paymentto the Charity, measured as the
difference between the billing of the fused
capacity and the billing at the audited load for six
(6) months. CP must send notice of its Charity
payment to Verizon within ten (10) calendar
days of making the payment.
129
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
9.4 For more than three (3) violations within the
same consecutive twelve (12) month period,
Verizon will bill CP at the fused amount for a
minimum of six (6) months and continue to bill at
the fused amount until an updated attestation or
augment specifying revised power is received.
Verizon will notify CP that it is being billed
pursuant to this Section 1., designating the
applicable number of months and also
calculating the payment owed to the Charity,
under the provisions set forth preceding.
At the conclusion of any dispute resolution
proceeding, the above payments will be self.
executing.
If CP has requested a power augment under which the
audited amount would be within the augmented load, plus
the applicable buffer zone set forth in Section 1.2, and
the augment is late due to the fault of Verizon, the
payments specified in Section 1.9 will not be imposed
and the parties will not count such an instance for purposes
of implementing Section 1.
Annually, CP must submit a written statement signed by a
responsible officer of CP, which attests that it is not
exceeding the total load of power as ordered in its
collocation applications. This attestation, which must be
received by Verizon no later than the last day of June, shall
individually list all of CP's completed collocation
arrangements provided by Verizon in the state. If CP fails
to submit this written statement by the last day in June
Verizon will notify CP in writing that it has thirty (30)
calendar days to submit its power attestation. Failure to
submit the required statement within the thirty (30) calendar
day notice period will result in the billing of DC power at
each collocation arrangement to be increased to the total
number of amps fused until such time as Verizon receives
the required written statement by CP.
Whenever Verizon is required to perform work on an
collocation arrangement as a result of CP's order for a
reduction in power requirements (e., change in fuse size),
Verizon will assess a non-recurring charge for the additional
labor. The non-recurring charge applies for the first half
hour (or fraction thereof) and for each additional half hour
(or fraction thereof) per technician, per occurrence as
shown in Appendix A.
If CP orders a change in the power configuration requiring
new -48 volt QCpower feedsto the collocation
arrangement, Verizon will require an engineering/major
augment Fee with an application, as set forth in Appendix A,
subject to the terms and conditions described in Section
5. In addition , if CP's order for a reduction in DC power
triggers the deployment of power cabling to a different
130
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
power distribution point, the engineering/major augment fee
as set forth in Appendix A applies. Verizon will work
cooperatively with CP to configure the new power
distribution cables and disconnect the old ones.
Equipment and Facilities.
Purchase of Equipment.CP will be responsible for supply,
purchase, delivery, installation and maintenance of its
equipment and equipment bay(s) in the collocation area.
Verizon is not responsible for the design, engineering, or
performance of CP's equipment and provided facilities for
collocation. Upon installation of all transmission and power
cables for collocation services, CP relinquishes all rights
title and ownership of transmission (excluding fiber entrance
facility cable) and power cables to Verizon.
Permissible Equipment.Verizon shall permit the collocation
and use of any equipment necessary for interconnection or
access to unbundled network elements in accordance with
the following standards: (1) Equipment is necessary for
interconnection if an inability to deploy that equipment
would , as a practical, economic, or operational matter
preclude CP from obtaining interconnection with Verizon at
a level equal in quality to that which Verizon obtains within
its own network or Verizon provides to any of its affiliates,
subsidiaries, or other parties; and (2) Equipment is
necessary for access to an unbundled network element if an
inability to deploy that equipment would, as a practical
economic, or operational matter, preclude CP from
obtaining nondiscriminatory access to that unbundled
network element, including any of its features, functions, or
capabilities.
Multi-functional equipment shall be deemed necessary for
interconnection or access to an unbundled network element
if and only if the primary purpose and function of the
equipment, as CP seeks to deploy it, meets either or both of
the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph. For a
piece of equipment to be utilized primarily to obtain equal in
quality interconnection or nondiscriminatory access to one
or more unbundled network elements, there also must be a
logical nexus between the additional functions the
equipment would perform and the telecommunication
services CP seeks to provide to its customers by means of
the interconnection or unbundled network element. The
collocation of those functions of the equipment that, as
stand-alone functions, do not meet either of the standards
set forth in the preceding paragraph must not cause the
equipment to significantly increase the burden on Verizon
property.
Whenever Verizon objects to collocation of equipment by
CP for purposes within the scope of Section 251(c)(6) ofthe
Act, Verizon shall prove to the state commission that the
equipment is not necessary for interconnection or access to
131

unbundled network elements under the standards set forth
above.
CP may place in its caged collocation space ancillary
equipment such as cross connect frames, and metal
storage cabinets. Metal storage cabinets must meet
Verizon premise environmental standards.
Specifications . Collocation facilities shall be placed
maintained , relocated or removed in accordance with the
applicable requirements and specifications of the current
editions of the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National
Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and rules and regulations of
the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the
Federal Communications Commission , the Commission
and any other governing authority having jurisdiction. All
CP entrance facilities and splices must comply with
Telecordia Technologies' Generic Specification for Optical
Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable (TR - TSY -00020), Cable
Placing Handbook, Cable Splicing Handbook, Cable
Maintenance Handbook, and General Information Tools and
Safety, as they relate to fire, safety, health , environmental
safeguards or interference with Verizon services or facilities.
CP designated and installed equipment located within
Verizon premises must comply with the most recent issue
unless otherwise specified, of Telecordia Technologies
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Generic
Equipment Requirements (GR-CORE-63) as it pertains to
safety requirements. This equipment must also comply with
the most current issue, unless otherwise specified, of
Verizon s Network Equipment Installation Standards
(Verizon Information Publication IP 72201) and Verizon
Central Office Engineering Standards (Verizon Information
Publication IP 72013). Where a difference in specification
may exist, the more stringent shall apply. If there is a
conflict between industry standards and Verizon s technical
specifications, CP and Verizon will make a good faith effort
to resolve the difference. CP designated facilities shall not
physically, electronically or inductively interfere with the
facilities of Verizon, other CLEC(s), tenant(s) or any other
party. If such interference occurs, Verizon may take action
as permitted under Section 1.
CP equipment must conform to the same specific
risk/safety/hazard standards which Verizon imposes on its
own central office equipment as defined in Verizon s NEBS
requirements RNSA-NEB-95-0003, Revision 10 or higher.
CP equipment is not required to meet the same
performance and reliability standards as Verizon imposes
on its own equipment as defined in Verizon s RNSA-NEB-
. 95~OQ03, Revision 10 or higher. In addition , CP may install
equipment that has been deployed by Verizon for five (5)
years or more with a proven safety record; however, this
provision does not prohibit the installation of equipment less
than five years old, provided the equipment meets the
NEBS safety guidelines referenced in this section prior to

the time of deployment. Verizon reserves the right to
specify the type of cable, equipment and construction
standards required in situations not otherwise covered in
this Agreement. In such cases, Verizon will, at its
discretion , furnish to CP written material which will specify
and explain the required construction.
Cable. CP is required to provide proper cabling, based on
circuit type (VF, DSO, xDSL , DS1 , DS3, etc.) to ensure
adequate shielding and reduce the possibility of
interference. CP is responsible for providing fire retardant
riser cable that meets Verizon standards. Verizon is
responsible for placing CP's fire retardant riser cable from
the cable vault to the collocation space. Verizon is
responsible for installing CP provided fiber optic cable in the
cable space or conduit from the first manhole to the
premises. This may be shared conduit with dedicated inner
duct. If CP provides its own fiber optic facility, then CP shall
be responsible for bringing its fiber optic cable to the
Verizon premise manhole. CP must leave sufficient cable
length for Verizon to be able to fully extend such cable
through to CP's collocation space.
Manhole/SDlicina Restrictions . Verizon reserves the right to
prohibit all equipment and facilities, other than fiber optic
cable, in its manholes. CP will not be permitted to splice
fiber optic cable in the first manhole outside of the Verizon
premise. Where CP is providing underground fiber optic
cable in Manhole #1 , it must be of sufficient length as
specified by Verizon to be pulled through the Verizon
premise to CP's collocation space. Verizon is responsible
for installing a cable splice, if necessary, where CP provided
fiber optic cable meets Verizon standards within the Verizon
premise cable vault or designated splicing chamber.
Verizon will provide space and racking for the placement of
an approved secured fire retardant splice enclosure.
Access Points and Restrictions . Points of interconnection
and demarcation between CP's facilities and Verizon
facilities will be designated by Verizon. This point(s) will be
a direct connection(s) to CP's network. Verizon shall have
the right to require CP to terminate collocation facilities onto
a Point of Termination (POT) Bay. CP must tag all entrance
facilities to indicate ownership. CP will not be allowed
access to Verizon s DSX line-ups, MDF or any other
Verizon facility termination points. Only Verizon employees
agents or contractors will be allowed access to the MDF
DSX, or fiber distribution panel to terminate facilities , test
connectivity, run jumpers and/or hot patch in-service
circuits.
StaainaArea~For caged and cageless collocation
arrangements, CP shall have the right to use a designated
staging area, a portion of the Verizon premise and loading
areas, if available, on a temporary basis during CP'
equipment installation work in the collocation space. CP is
133
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
responsible for protecting Verizon s equipment Verizon
premise walls and flooring within the staging area and along
the staging route. CP will meet all Verizon fire, safety,
security and environmental requirements. The temporary
staging area will be vacated and delivered to Verizon in an
acceptable condition upon completion of the installation
work. CP may also utilize a staging trailer, which can be
located on the exterior premises of Verizon premise.
Verizon may assess CP a market value lease rate for the
area occupied by the trailer.
Testing. Upon installation of CP's equipment, and with prior
notice, Verizon and CP will mutually agree to schedule a
meeting prior to the turn-up phase of the equipment to
ensure proper functionality between CP's equipment and
the connections to Verizon equipment. The time period for
this to occur will correspond to Verizon s maintenance
window installation requirements. It is solely the
responsibility of CP to provide their own monitor and test
points, if required, for connection directly to its terminal
equipment. If CP cannot attend the scheduled turn-up
phase meeting for any reason, CP must provide Verizon
with seventy-two (72) hours advanced written notice prior to
the scheduled meeting. If CP fails to attend the scheduled
meeting without the advanced written notification , Verizon
reserves the right to charge CP additional labor rates set
forth in Appendix A for subsequent turn-up meetings with
CP which are required to complete the turn-up phase of the
collocation arrangement.
Interconnection Bet'Aeen Collocated Spaces.Dedicated
Transit Service (DTS), which allows for interconnection
between CP and another CLEC, provides a dedicated
electrical or optical path between collocation arrangements
(caged, cageless, and virtual) of the same or of two different
CLECs within the same Verizon premises, using Verizon
provided distribution facilities. DTS is available for DSO
DS1 , DS3, and dark fiber cross connects. In addition
Verizon will also provide other technically feasible cross-
connection arrangements, including lit fiber, on an Individual
Case Basis (ICB) as requested by CP and agreed to by
Verizon. Verizon will offer DTS to CP as long as such
access is technically feasible.
DTS is only available when both collocation arrangements
(either caged, cageless, and/or virtual) being interconnected are
within the same Verizon premises, provided that the collocated
equipment is used for interconnection with Verizon and/or for
access to the Verizon s unbundled network elements. Verizon
shall provide such DTS connections from CP's collocation
arrangement to another collocation arrangement of CP within
the same Verizon premises, or to a collocation arrangement of
another CLEC in the same Verizon premises. DTS is provided
at the same transmission level from CP to another CLEC.
134
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
The DTS arrangement requires CP to provide cable
assignment information for itself as well as for the other CLEC.
Verizon will not make cable assignments for DTS. CP is
responsible for all DTS ordering, bill payment, disconnect
orders and maintenance transactions and is the customer of
record. When initiating a DTS request, CP must submit an
Access Service Request (ASR) and a letter of agency from the
CLEC it is connecting to that authorizes the DTS connection
and facility assignment. DTS is provided on a negotiated
interval with CP.
Optical Facility Terminations . If CP requests access to
unbundled dark fiber and unbundled optical interoffice
facilities, CP may apply for a fiber optic patchcord
connection(s) between Verizon s fiber distribution panel
(FDP) and CP's collocated transmission equipment and
facilities. The fiber optic patchcord cross connect is limited
in use solely in conjunction with access to unbundled dark
fiber, unbundled optical interoffice facilities, and Dedicated
Transit Service.
Non-Compliant Installations and Operations.If at any time
Verizon reasonably determines that either CP's collocation
equipment or it's engineering and installation do not meet
the requirements outlined in this Attachment, CP will be
responsible for the costs associated with the removal of
equipment or modification of the equipment or engineering
and installation to render it compliant. If CP fails to correct
any non-compliance with these standards within thirty (30)
days' written notice to CP , Verizon may have the equipment
removed or the condition corrected at CP expense. If,
during the installation phase, Verizon reasonably
determines that any CP designated equipment is unsafe
non-standard or in violation of any applicable fire
environmental, security, or other laws or regulations,
Verizon has the right to immediately stop the work until the
problem is corrected to Verizon s satisfaction. However
when any of the above conditions poses an immediate
threat to the safety of Verizon employees, interferes with the
performance of Verizon s service obligations, or poses an
immediate threat to the physical integrity of the overhead
superstructure or any other facilities of Verizon, Verizon
may perform such work and/or take such action that Verizon
deems necessary without prior notice to CP. The
reasonable cost of said work and/or actions shall be borne
by CP. Verizon reserves the right to remove products,
facilities and equipment from its list of approved products
upon ninety (90) days' notice to CP if such products
facilities and equipment are determined to be no longer
compliant with NEBS safety standards. If CP equipment
poses animmediate safety threat, CP shall remove the
equipment immediately.
Access to Collocation Space. Verizon will permit CP's employees
agents, and contractors approved by Verizon to have direct access to
CP's caged and cageless collocation equipment twenty-four (24) hours
135
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
a day, seven (7) days a week and reasonable access to Verizon
restroom and parking facilities. CP's employees, agents, or
contractors must comply with the policies and practices of Verizon
pertaining to fire, safety, and security. Verizon reserves the right, with
twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to CP, to access CP's collocated
partitioned space to perform periodic inspections to ensure compliance
with Verizon installation, safety and security practices. Where CP
shares a common entrance to the Verizon premise with Verizon, the
reasonable use of shared building facilities , e., elevators
unrestricted corridors, etc., will be permitted. However, Verizon
reserves the right to permanently remove and/or deny access from
Verizon premises , any CP employee, agent, or contractor who violates
Verizon s policies, work rules, or business conduct standards, or
otherwise poses a security risk to Verizon.
Network Outaae. Damaae and Reportina. CP shall be responsible for:
(a) any damage or network outage occurring as a result of CP owned
or CP designated termination equipment in Verizon premise; (b)
providing trouble report status when requested; (c) providing a contact
number that is readily accessible twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven
(7) days a week; (d) notifying Verizon of significant outages which
could impact or degrade Verizon s switches and services and provide
estimated clearing time for restoral; and (e) testing its equipment to
identify and clear a trouble report when the trouble has been
sectionalized (isolated) to CP service.
Verizon will make every effort to contact CP in the event CP
equipment disrupts the network. If Verizon is unable to make contact
with CP, Verizon shall temporarily disconnect CP's service, as
provided in Section 1.11.
Security Requirements.
10.Security Measures.CP agrees that its employees/vendors
with access to Verizon premise shall at all times adhere to
the rules of conduct established by Verizon for the Verizon
premises and Verizon s personnel and vendors. Verizon
reserves the right to make changes to such procedures and
rules to preserve the integrity and operation of Verizon
network or facilities or to comply with applicable laws and
regulations. Verizon will provide CP with written notice of
such changes. Where applicable, Verizon will provide
information to CP on the specific type of security training
required so CP's employees can complete such training.
CP will maintain with Verizon a list of all CP employees who
are currently authorized by CP to access its caged and
cageless collocation space and will include social security
numbers of all such individuals. CP will also maintain with
Verizon a list of its collocated-approved vendors and their
social security numbers who request access to caged and
cagelesscollocation space; Only those individuals
approved by Verizon will be allowed access to Verizon
premises and caged and cage less collocation space.
Where required by agencies of federal, state, or local
government, only individuals that are U.S. citizens will be
136
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
10.
granted access. All CP personnel must obtain and
prominently display a valid non-employee Verizon
identification card. Former employees of Verizon will be
given access to Verizon premises by CP in accordance with
the Verizon s normal security procedures applicable to any
Vendor(s) or Contractor(s) on Verizon s premises. Verizon
reserves the right to revoke any identification badge and/or
access card of any CP employee or agent found in
violations of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
CP must follow Verizon s security guidelines, which are
published on Verizon s web site. Verizon may suspend a
CP employee or agent from Verizon s premises if his/her
actions materially affect the safety and/or integrity of
Verizon s network or the safety of Verizon or other CP
employees/agents. Unless CP employee or agent poses an
immediate threat to Verizon or other CLECs, Verizon will
provide CP with a written explanation of violations
committed by the CP employee or agent four (4) Business
Days prior to suspending CP employee or agent from
Verizon premises. CP will have two (2) Business Days
respond to Verizon s notification. Any such employee or
agent may later be allowed readmission to Verizon
premises on mutually agreeable terms. Nothing in this
section, however, restricts Verizon s authority to bar the CP
employee or agent from Verizon premises for violating
Verizon s security guidelines.
Security Standards . Verizon will be solely responsible for
determining the appropriate level of security in each Verizon
premise. Verizon reserves the right to deny access
Verizon buildings and/or outside facility structures for any
CP employee, agent or contractor who cannot meet
Verizon s established security standards. Employees
agents or contractors of CP are required to meet the same
security requirements and adhere to the same work rules
that Verizon s employees and contractors are required to
follow. Verizon also reserves the right to deny access to
Verizon buildings and/or outside facility structures for CP'
employee, agent and contractor for falsification of records,
violation of fire, safety or security practices and policies or
other just cause. CP employees, agents or contractors who
meet Verizon s established security standards will be
provided access to CP's caged and cage less collocation
equipment 24 hours a day, seven days a week and
reasonable access to Verizon s restroom facilities. If CP
employees, agents or contractors request and are granted
access to other areas of Verizon s premises, a Verizon
employee, agent or contractor may accompany and observe
CP employee(s), agent(s) or contractor(s) at no cost to CPo
Verizon may use reasonable security measures to protect
its equipment, including, for example, enclosing its
equipment in its own cage or other separation, utilizing
monitored card reader systems, digital security cameras,
badges with computerized tracking systems, identification
137
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
swipe cards, keyed access and/or logs, as deemed
appropriate by Verizon.
Verizon may require CP employees and contractors to use
a central or separate entrance to Verizon s premises
provided, however, that where Verizon requires that CP
employees or contractors access collocated equipment only
through a separate entrance, employees and contractors of
Verizon s affiliates and subsidiaries will be subject to the
same restriction.
Verizon may construct or require the construction of a
separate entrance to access caged and cageless
collocation space, provided that each of the following
conditions is met: (i) Construction of a separate entrance is
technically feasible; (ii) Either legitimate security concerns
or operational constraints unrelated to the incumbent's or
any of its affiliates' or subsidiaries competitive concerns
warrant such separation; (iii) Construction of a separate
entrance will not artificially delay collocation provisioning;
and (iv) Construction of a separate entrance will not
materially increase CP's collocation costs.
10.Access Cards/ldentification. Access cards or keys will be
provided to no more than a reasonable number of
individuals for CP for each Verizon premise for the purpose
of installation , maintenance and repair of Cp's caged and
cageless collocation equipment. All CP employees, agents
and contractors requesting access to the Verizon premise
are required to have a photo identification card, which
identifies the person by name and the name of CP. The ID
must be worn on the individual's exterior clothing while on
or at Verizon premises. Verizon will provide CP with
instructions and necessary access cards or keys to obtain
access to Verizon premises. CP is required to immediately
notify Verizon by the most expeditious means, when any
CP's employee , agent or contractor with access privileges
to Verizon premises is no longer in its employ, or when
keys, access cards or other means of obtaining access to
Verizon premises are lost, stolen or not returned by an
employee, agent or contractor no longer in its employ. CP
is responsible for the immediate retrieval and return to
Verizon of all keys, access cards or other means of
obtaining access to Verizon premises upon termination of
employment of CP's employee and/or termination of
service. CP shall be responsible for the replacement cost of
keys, access cards or other means of obtaining access
when lost, stolen or failure of CP or CP's employee, agent
or contractor to return to Verizon.
Emergencv Access. CP is responsible for providing a contact number
thatTsreadilyaccessible 24 hbi.Jrsa day, 7 days a week. CP will
provide access to its collocation space at all times to allow Verizon to
react to emergencies, to maintain the building operating systems
(where applicable and necessary) and to ensure compliance with
OSHANerizon regulations and standards related to fire , safety, health
138
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
and environment safeguards. Verizon will attempt to notify CP in
advance of any such emergency access. If advance notification is not
possible Verizon will provide notification of any such entry to CP as
soon as possible following the entry, indicating the reasons for the
entry and any actions taken which might impact CP's facilities or
equipment and its ability to provide service. Verizon will restrict
access to CP's collocation space to persons necessary to handle such
an emergency. The emergency provisioning and restoration of
interconnection service shall be in accordance with Part 64, Subpart
, Paragraph 64.401 , of the FCC's Rules and Regulations, which
specifies the priority for such activities. Verizon reserves the right
without prior notice, to access CP's collocation space in an
emergency, such as fire or other unsafe conditions, or for purposes of
averting any threat of harm imposed by CP or CP's equipment upon
the operation of Verizon s or another CLEC's equipment, facilities
and/or employees located outside CP's collocation space. Verizon will
notify CP as soon as possible when such an event has occurred. In
case of a Verizon work stoppage, CP's employees, contractors or
agents will comply with the emergency operation procedures
established by Verizon. Such emergency procedures should not
directly affect CP's access to its premises, or ability to provide service.
CP will notify Verizon point of contact of any work stoppages by CP
employees.
1.4.
Space Requirements.1.4
1.4.
Space Availabilitv. If Verizon is unable to accommodate caged and
cage less collocation requests at a Verizon premise due to space
limitations or other technical reasons, Verizon will post a list of all such
sites on its website and will update the list within ten (10) calendar
days of the date at which a Verizon premise runs out of caged and
cage less collocation space. This information will be listed at the
following public Internet URL: http://www.verizon.com/requiatorv.
Where Verizon has denied caged and cageless collocation requests at
a Verizon premise due to space limitations or other technical reasons,
Verizon shall: (a) submit to the state commission , subject to any
protective order as the state may deem necessary, detailed floor plans
or diagrams of the Verizon premise which show what space, if any,
Verizon or any of its affiliates has reserved for future use; and describe
in detail, the specific future uses for which the space has been
reserved and the length of time for each reservation; and (b) allow CP
to tour the entire premises of the Verizon premise, without charge
within ten (10) calendar days of the tour request.
Minimum/Maximum/Additional Space. The standard sizes of caged
collocation space will be increments of 100 square feet unless
mutually agreed to otherwise by Verizon and CP. The minimum
amount of floor space available to CP at the time of the initial
application will be twenty-five (25) square feet of caged collocation
space or one (1) single bay in the case of cageless collocation. The
maximum amount of space available in a specific Verizon premise to
CP will be limited to the amount of existing suitable space which is
technically feasible to support the collocation arrangement requested.
Existing suitable space is defined as available space in a Verizon
premise that does not require the addition of AC/DC power, heat and
air conditioning, battery and/or generator back-up power and other
139
1.4.
1.4.4
1.4.
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
requirements necessary for provisioning collocation services.
Additional space to provide for caged, cageless and/or adjacent
collocation will be provided on a per request basis, where available.
Additional space can be requested by CP by completing and
submitting a new application form and the applicable non-refundable
engineering fee set forth in Appendix A. Verizon will not be required to
lease additional space when available space has been exhausted.
Use of Space.Verizon and CP will work cooperatively to determine
proper space requirements, and efficient use of space. In addition to
other applicable requirements set forth in this Agreement, CP shall
install all its equipment within its designated area in contiguous line-
ups in order to optimize the utilization of space within Verizon
premises. CP shall use the collocation space solely for the purposes
of installing, maintaining and operating CP's equipment to interconnect
for the exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or for purposes of
accessing UNEs. CP shall not construct improvements or make
alterations or repairs to the collocation space without the prior written
approval of Verizon. The collocation space may not be used for
administrative purposes and may not be used as CP's employee(s)
work location, office or retail space, or storage. The collocation space
shall not be used as CP's mailing or shipping address.
Reservation of Space.Verizon reserves the right to manage its
Verizon premise conduit requirements and to reserve vacant space for
planned facility. Verizon will retain and reserve a limited amount of
vacant floor space within its Verizon premises for its own specific
future uses on terms no more favorable than applicable to other
CLECs seeking to reserve collocation space for their own future use.
If the remaining vacant floor space within a Verizon premise is
reserved for Verizon s own specific future use, the Verizon premise will
be exempt from future caged and cage less collocation requests. CP
shall not be permitted to reserve Verizon premise cable space or
conduit system. If new conduit is required , Verizon will negotiate with
CP to determine an alternative arrangement for the specific location.
CP will be allowed to reserve collocation space for its caged/cageless
arrangements based on CPs documented forecast provided Verizon
and subject to space availability. Such forecast must demonstrate a
legitimate need to reserve the space for use on terms no more
favorable than applicable to Verizon seeking to reserve vacant space
for its own specific use. Cageless collocation bays may not be used
solely for the purpose of storing CP equipment.
Collocation Space Report.Upon request by CP and upon CP signing
a collocation nondisclosure agreement, Verizon will make available a
collocation space report with the following information for the Verizon
premise requested:
1.4.Detailed description and amount of caged and cageless
collocation space available;
1.4.Number of telecommunications carriers with existing
collocation arrangements;
1.4.Modifications of the use of space since the last collocation
space report requested; and
140
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
1.4.
Pricing.
1.4.5.4 Measures being taken, if any, to make additional collocation
spaces available.
The collocation space report is not required prior to the submission of
a collocation application for a specific Verizon premise in order to
determine collocation space availability for the Verizon premise. The
collocation space report will be provided to CP within ten (10) calendar
days of the request provided the request is submitted during the
ordinary course of business. A collocation space report fee contained
in Appendix A will be assessed per request and per Verizon premise.
Reclamation . When initiating an application form, CP must have
started installing equipment approved for collocation at Verizon
premise within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed sixty (60)
calendar days from the date CP accepts the collocation arrangement.
If CP does not utilize its collocation space within the established time
period, and has not met the space reservation requirements of Section
1.4.4 to the extent applicable, Verizon may reclaim the unused
collocation space to accommodate another CLEC's request or
Verizon s future space requirements. Verizon shall have the right, for
good cause shown , and upon sixty (60) calendar days' notice , to
reclaim any collocation space, cable space or conduit space in order
to fulfill its obligation under public service law and its Tariffs to provide
telecommunication services to its Customers. In such cases, Verizon
will reimburse CP for reasonable direct costs and expenses in
connection with such reclamation. Verizon will make every reasonable
effort to find other alternatives before attempting to reclaim any such
space. CP may seek Commission relief from reclamation within ten
(10) Business Days of being notified.
Rate Sheet.The rates for Verizon s collocation services provided
pursuant to this Agreement are set forth in Appendix A attached hereto
only to the extent that there are no corresponding rates in an
applicable collocation Tariff on file with the Commission. If there is a
collocation Tariff on file with the Commission, the rates in such Tariff
shall apply and the rates set forth in Appendix A shall not apply.
Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, Verizon also may
elect to file a collocation Tariff with provisions addressing any of the
rates specified in this Agreement. Any such filing will expressly
supercede and replace the corresponding rates set forth in Appendix A
and will render such rates specified in Appendix A null and void.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rates
identified in this attachment also may be superseded prospectively by
rates contained in future final , binding and non-appealable regulatory
orders or as otherwise required by legal requirements.
Billina and Pavment.The initial payment of NRCs shall be due and
payable in accordance with Section 1.1. The balance of the NRCs
and all related monthly recurring service charges will be billed to CP
when Verizon provides CP access to the caged , cageless or adjacent
collocation arrangement or completes installation of the virtual
collocation arrangement and shall be payable in accordance with
applicable established payment deadlines.

additional premiums.
Verizon will not carry insurance on the CP furniture and/or furnishings
or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances
removable by CP and therefore will not be obligated to repair any
damage thereto or be obligated to replace the same.
Implementation and Termination of Service.
Implementation of Collocation Charaes . Verizon shall provide CP with
a notice ("Scheduled Completion Notice ) indicating the scheduled
completion date ("Scheduled Completion Date ) for the collocation
arrangement. Verizon shall also provide a notice that will remind CP
of the Scheduled Completion Date and will request CP to schedule
and attend a "Collocation Acceptance Meeting" ("CAM"). Collocation
charges will be implemented in accordance with this section
regardless of the readiness of CP to utilize the completed collocation
arrangement.
146
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Collection of Non-Recurrinq Charqes . The initial payment
of non-recurring charges (NRCs) shall be due and payable
in accordance with Section 1.3. CP shall pay the balance
of the NRCs ("NRC Balance ) upon CP acceptance of the
collocation arrangement or thirty (30) calendar days after
the collocation arrangement is completed, whichever comes
first.
Commencement of Recurring Charqes . Monthly recurring
charges will commence upon CLEC acceptance of the
collocation arrangement or thirty (30) calendar days after
the collocation arrangement is completed, whichever comes
first ("Commencement Date ), and shall continue until
terminated pursuant to Section 1.8).
Extension Request.A CLEC may request to extend or
delay the Scheduled Completion Date of a collocation
arrangement for up to six (6) months. A CLEC electing to
extend the Scheduled Completion Date of a collocation
arrangement must notify Verizon in writing ("Extension
Notice ) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the
Scheduled Completion Notice. In order for Verizon to delay
billing of monthly recurring charges for the applicable
collocation arrangement, CP must remit the NRC Balance
to Verizon for the collocation arrangement with the
Extension Notice. Monthly recurring charges will not be
billed by Verizon until the space for the collocation
arrangement is accepted by CP or the six (6) month
extension period has expired, whichever comes first. At any
time during or after the extension period, if CP terminates its
collocation arrangement, the termination shall be governed
by Section 1.8.4.
If Verizon ascertains the space for the collocation
arrangement is needed to satisfy another CLEC'
collocation request prior to the end of the six (6) month
extension period , Verizon will notify CP that its collocation
space has been requested by another CLEC. CP will have
up to five (5) Business Days after the notification to retain
the collocation space by notifying Verizon in writing that it
desires to keep the space ("Retention Notice ). If
retains the collocation space, monthly recurring charges
shall commence for CP thirty (30) calendar days after CP
sends the Retention Notice or when CP accepts the space,
whichever comes first.
Grounds for Termination by Verizon.Failure by CP to comply with the
terms and conditions of this Attachment, including nonpayment of
rates and charges, may result in termination of collocation service. In
addition to the other grounds for termination of collocation services set
forth herein, Verizon reserves the right to terminate such services
upon thirty (30) calendar days notice in the event CP: (a) is not in
conformance with provisions of this Attachment or other Company
standards and requirements; and/or (b) imposes continued disruption
and threat of harm to Company employees and/or network, or
Verizon s ability to provide service to other CLECs.
147
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Verizon also reserves the right to terminate such services, without
prior notice, in the event CP's collocation arrangement imposes
emergency conditions, such as fire or other unsafe conditions, upon
the operation of Verizon s equipment and facilities or to Company
employees located outside CP's collocation space.
Verizon reserves the right to inspect CP's collocation arrangement to
determine if sufficient DC Power and/or facility terminations are being
used to maintain interconnection and/or access to unbundled network
elements. If Verizon determines that the collocation arrangement is
not being used for interconnection and/or access to unbundled
network elements (from, for example, insufficient DC Power and/or
facility terminations), Verizon reserves the right to terminate CP'
collocation service upon thirty (30) calendar days notice.
If Verizon elects to terminate a collocation arrangement pursuant to
this section, the termination shall be governed by Section 1.8.4.
Termination by CLEC.CP must notify Verizon in writing of its plans to
terminate a collocation arrangement ("CLEC Termination Notice ), and
such CP termination shall be governed by this Section.
Termination After Completion.If CP elects to terminate an
existing collocation arrangement after a collocation
arrangement has been completed, the termination will be
effective thirty (30) calendar days after Verizon s receipt of
CP Termination Notice. If CLEC terminates a collocation
arrangement under this section, the termination shall be
governed by Section 1.8.4 and CP remains responsible to
pay any unpaid NRCs associated with the terminated
arrangement as set forth in Section 1.1. If the collocation
arrangement being terminated contains equipment in which
a third party maintains an ownership or a security interest,
CP shall include a list of any such owners and secured
parties in CP Termination Notice.
Termination Prior to Completion.If CP elects to terminate a
request for collocation when construction is in progress and
prior to completion of the collocation arrangement, the
termination will be effective upon Verizon s receipt of CP
Termination Notice. For all non-recurring charges
associated with providing the collocation arrangement, CP
will be billed and is responsible for payment of non-recurring
charges in accordance with the following (for the purposes
of this section, the number of "Days" refers to Business
Days measured from Verizon s receipt of a complete
application from CP):
3.2.Effective date of CP termination on or between
Days 1 to 15, CP owes 20% of non-recurring
charges.
Effective date of CP termination on or between
Days 16 to 30, CP owes 40% of non-recurring
charges.
148
8.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Effective date of CP termination on or between
Days 31 to 45, CP owes 60% of non-recurring
charges.
2.4 Effective date of CP termination on or between
Days 46 to 60, CP owes 80% of non-recurring
charges.
Effective date of CP termination after Day 60,
CP owes 100% of non-recurring charges.
If after applying these percentages to NRCs already paid by
CP, any refunds are due CP, such refunds shall be applied
first as a credit to any accounts with balances owed by CP
to Verizon, with any remaining refund amount issued to CP.
Engineering/major augment fees submitted with the
application will not be refunded. CP Termination Notice
must be received by Verizon prior to the Scheduled
Completion Date to avoid incurring any monthly recurring
charges.
Effects of Termination.If Verizon or CP terminates a collocation
arrangement under the terms and conditions of this Attachment, the
following provisions shall apply:
8.4.
8.4.
Equipment Removal and Monthly Recurring Charges. CP
shall disconnect and remove its equipment from the
designated collocation space by the effective date of the
termination. Upon removal by CP of all its equipment from
the collocation space, if CP does not restore the collocation
space to its original condition at time of occupancy, CP will
reimburse Verizon for the cost to do so. Due to physical
and technical constraints, removal of CP entrance facUity
cable will be at Verizon s option. CP shall reimburse
Verizon for all costs Verizon incurs to decommission DC
Power and transmission cable terminations previously
applied for by CP. Verizon reserves the right to remove
CP's equipment if CP fails to remove and dispose of the
equipment by the effective date of the termination. CP will
be charged the appropriate additional labor charge in
Appendix A for the removal and disposal of such
equipment. All monthly recurring charges will continue to
be charged to CP until the effective date of the termination
, at Verizon discretion, until any later date up to the date
that all equipment is removed and the collocation space is
restored to its original condition at space turnover.
Refund of Non-Recurring Charges. If Verizon or CP has
terminated a collocation arrangement pursuant to Sections
2 and 1.3 and CP ("original CLEC") has paid a non-
recurring charge(s) for an asset in a collocation
arrangement, and is succeeded by another CLEC who uses
the same asset ("subsequent CLEC"), CP will receive a
refund from Verizon for the remaining undepreciated
amount of the asset upon occupancy by the subsequent
CLEC up to the applicable non-recurring charges paid by
149
the subsequent CLEC. If Verizon uses an asset for which
CP paid a non-recurring charge, Verizon will make a pro
rata refund of such paid non-recurring charges to CP. For
purposes of calculating prorated refunds to CP, Verizon will
use the economic life of the asset. Any refunds issued
pursuant to this section shall be applied first as a credit to
any accounts with balances owed by CP to Verizon, and
any remaining refund amount will be issued to CPo
Engineering/major augment fees submitted with the
application and any other paid non-recurring charges not
associated with the asset will not be refunded.
Closure. Decommissioninq or Sale of Premises . Collocation
arrangements will automatically terminate if the premise in which the
collocation space is located is closed, decommissioned or sold and no
longer houses Verizon s network facilities. At least one hundred eighty
(180) days written notice will be given to CP of events which may lead
to the automatic termination of any such arrangement pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Attachment, except when extraordinary
circumstances require a shorter interval. In such cases, Verizon will
provide notice to CP as soon as practicable. Verizon will work with CP
to identify alternate collocation arrangements. Verizon will work
cooperatively with CP to minimize any potential for service interruption
resulting from such actions.
Miscellaneous. Verizon retains ownership of Verizon premise floor
space, adjacent land and equipment used to provide all forms of
collocation. Verizon reserves for itself and its successors and
assignees, the right to utilize the Verizon premises' space in such a
manner as will best enable it to fulfill Verizon s service requirements.
CP does not receive , as a result of entering into a collocation
arrangement hereunder, any right, title or interest in Verizon s premise
facility, the multiplexing node, multiplexing node enclosure, cable
cable space, cable racking, vault space or conduit space other than as
expressly provided herein. To the extent that CP requires use of a
Verizon local exchange line, CP must order a business local exchange
access line (81). CP may not use Verizon official lines.
Virtual Collocation.
Unless otherwise specified in this Section 1.9, the provisions contained in other
sections of the collocation Attachment shall apply to virtual collocation.
CP 10 camp v2.7j.doc
Description. Under virtual collocation, Verizon installs and maintains
CP provided equipment, which is dedicated to the exclusive use of CP
in a collocation arrangement. CP provides fiber-optic facilities through
Verizon entrance manholes for connection to CP virtually collocated
transmission equipment that provides interconnection to Verizon
facilities located in the premises.
The physical point of interface for connection to the virtual
arrangement is referred to as manhole zero. From this manhole into
the premises, Verizon shall assume ownership of and maintain the
fiber. From this manhole toward CP's location , the fiber optic cable
remains CP's responsibility, with CP performing all servicing and
maintaining full ownership. If CP is purchasing Verizon provided
150
9.4
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
unbundled interoffice facilities as transport, CP entrance fiber is not
required. All elements/services shall be connected to the output
cables of the virtual collocation arrangement using Verizon designated
cable assignments, not channel assignments.
Virtual collocation is offered on a first come, first served basis and is
provided subject to the availability of space and facilities in each
premises where virtual collocation is requested.
If CP requests virtual collocation of equipment other than the standard
virtual arrangement, CP and Verizon will mutually agree upon the type
of equipment to be virtually collocated.
Implementation Intervals and Plannina. Verizon and CP shall work
cooperatively to jointly plan the implementation milestones. Verizon
and CP shall work cooperatively in meeting those milestones and
deliverables as determined during the joint planning process. A
preliminary schedule will be developed outlining major milestones
including anticipated delivery dates for the CP-provided transmission
equipment and for training.
Verizon will notify CP of issues or unanticipated delays, as they
become known. Verizon and CP shall conduct additional joint
planning meetings, as reasonably required, to ensure all known issues
are discussed and to address any that may impact the implementation
process. Planning meetings shall include establishment of schedule
identification of tests to be performed, spare plug-in/card requirements
test equipment, and determination of the final implementation
schedule.
The implementation interval is 76 Business Days for all standard
arrangement requests which were properly forecast six months prior to
the application dates subject to the provisions in this Attachment
governing forecasting and capacity. CP shall deliver the virtual
collocation equipment to Verizon premises by Business Day forty (40).
Verizon and CP shall work cooperatively to schedule each site on a
priority-based order. Verizon and CP shall mutually agree upon
intervals for non-standard arrangements.
Transmission Failure. CP shall be responsible for monitoring and
reporting signal loss to Verizon. In the event of a transmission failure
CP shall be responsible for initial trouble isolation as set forth in
Section 1., regardless of whether the fiber span is equipped with
optical regeneration equipment.
Accommodations . Upon receipt of a completed application and
associated vi rtual engineering fee, Verizon will conduct an application
review, engineering review and site survey at the requested premises.
Verizon will notify CP within eight (8) Business Days of the results of
this review and site survey.
The dedicated terminal eq uipment inside Veriion premises shall be
provided by CP and leased to Verizon for the sum of one dollar after
successful installation and equipment testing by Verizon. The term of
the operating lease will run for the duration of the virtual collocation
arrangement, at which time CP will remove the equipment. CP will
151
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
retain ownership of this equipment inside the premises. Verizon will
operate and maintain exclusive control over this equipment inside the
premises.
Where Verizon uses approved contractors for installation
maintenance or repair of virtual collocation arrangements, CP may hire
the same approved contractors directly for installation, maintenance or
repair of CP designated equipment.
Where Verizon does not use contractors, CP designated equipm ent
and CP provided facilities used in the provision of virtual collocation
will be installed, maintained and repaired by Verizon. Verizon will
maintain and repair CP designated equipment under the same
timeframe and standards as its own equipment.
CP personnel are not allowed on Verizon premises to maintain and
repair on virtual collocation equipment.
Verizon shall monitor local premises and environmental alarms to
support the equipment. Verizon will notify CP if a local office alarm
detects an equipment affecting condition.
Verizon will be responsible to pull the fiber into and through the cable
entrance facility (Le., vault) to the virtual collocation arrangement. All
installations into the cable entrance facility are performed by Verizon
personnel or its agents.
No virtual collocation arrangement will be placed in service by Verizon
until necessary training has been completed (refer to Section 1.11).
Plua-ins and Spare Cards . When a plug-in/card is determined by
Verizon to be defective, Verizon will label the plug-in as defective and
place it in CP-dedicated plug-in/card storage cabinet. CP will be
notified as the plug-in/card is replaced.
Verizon will not provide spare plug-ins/cards under any circumstances,
nor is Verizon responsible for CP's failure to replace defective plug-

inadequate supply of plug-ins/cards. Verizon will segregate and
secure CP-provided maintenance spares in CP-prOl,;ded spare plug-
in/card cabinet.
CP shall provide the shop-wired piece of equipment fully pre-equipped
with working plug-ins/cards. In addition , CP shall provide Verizon with
maintenance spares for each plug-in/card type. The number of
maintenance spares shall be the manufacturer s recommended
amount, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Verizon and CP,
provided however, that in no event shall the number of spare plug-
ins/cards be less than two of each type. These spares must be tested
by CP prior to delivery to Verizon.
In addition to maintenance spares, CP will also provide any unique
tools or test equipment required to maintain, turn-up, or repair the
equipment.
152
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Upon receiving notification from Verizon that a plug-in/card has been
replaced, CP is then responsible to contact the Verizon operations
manager to arrange exchange and replacement of the plug-in/card.
Exchanged, pre-tested spares shall be provided within one week of
replacement of a defective plug-in/card.
Subject to premise space availability, CP shall have the option of
providing a stand-alone spare plug-in/card cabinet(s) or a rack-
mountable spare plug-in/card cabinet(s), to Verizon s specification, to
house the spare plug-ins/cards. The spare plug-in/card cabinet(s) and
minimum number of maintenance spares must be provided before the
virtual collocation arrangement is completed and service is
established.
The amount of spare plug-ins/cards required will be based on the
manufacturer s recommended amount, unless otherwise mutually
agreed by Verizon and cr.
Safety and Technical Standards . Verizon reserves all rights to
terminate, modify or reconfigure the provision of service to CP if, in the
discretion of Verizon, provision of service to CP may in any way
interfere with or adversely affect Verizon s network or its ability to
service other CLECs.
All CP equipment to be installed in Verizon premises must fully comply
with the GR - 000063 - CORE, GR -1089 - CORE and Verizon
premises environmental and transmission standards in effect at the
time of equipment installation. The equipment must also comply with
the requirements in NIP 74165, as they relate to fire, safety, health
environmental, and network safeguards.
It is CP's responsibility to demonstrate and provide to Verizon
adequate documentation from an accredited source certifying
compliance. CP equipment must conform to the same specific
risk/safety/hazard standards which Verizon imposes on its own
premises equipment as defined in RNSA - NEB - 95 - 0003, Revision
10 or higher.
CP equipment is not required to meet the same performance and
reliability standards as Verizon imposes on its own equipment as
defined in RNSA - NEB - 95 - 0003, Revision 10 or higher. CP may
install equipment that has been deployed by Verizon for five years or
more with a proven safety record.
All CP's entrance facilities and splices must comply with TR - TSY -
00020, TR - NWT - 001058, BR - 760 - 200 - 030 and SR - TAP -
001421 as they relate to fire, safety, health, environmental safeguards

operation.
Control Over Premises-Based EQuioment.Verizon exercises
exclusive physical control over the premises-based transmission
equipment that terminates CP's circuits and provides the installation
maintenance, and repair services necessary to assure proper
operation of the virtually collocated facilities and equipment. Such
work will be performed by Verizon under the direction of CP.
Removal of Equioment.Verizon reserves the right to remove facilities
and equipment from its list of approved products if such products
facilities and equipment are determined to be no longer compliant with
NEBS standards or GR -1089 - CORE.
Installation and Trouble Resolution . Verizon will process and prioritize
the trouble ticket in the same manner it does for its own equipment
including the dispatch of a technician to the equipment. The
technician will contact CP at the number provided and service the
equipment as instructed and directed by CP.
Placement. Removal and MonitorinQ of Facilities and EQuioment.
From manhole zero toward CP's location the fiber optic cable remains
CP's responsibility, with CP performing all servicing and maintaining
full ownership.
CP has the responsibility to remotely monitor and control their circuits
terminating in Verizon s premises, however, CP will not enter Verizon
premises under virtual collocation arrangements.
Performance and surveillance monitoring and trouble isolation shall be
provided by CP. A clear distinction must be made by CP when
submitting reports of troubles on Verizon services/elements connected
to the virtually collocated equipment and reports of troubles with the
collocated equipment. The former can be handled using Verizon
technicians and standard processes. The latter will require specially
trained technicians familiar with the collocated equipment (refer to
Section 1.11 ).
When CP isolates a trouble and determines that a Verizon technician
should be dispatched to the equipment location for a servicing
procedure , CP shall enter a trouble ticket with Verizon. CP shall
provide standard trouble information, including the virtual collocation
arrangement's circuit identification, nature of the activity request, and
the name and telephone number of CP's technician/contact.
Responses to all equipment servicing needs will be at CP's direction.
Maintenance will not be performed without CP's direct instruction and
authorization.
If CP is providing its own transport fiber for the virtual collocation
arrangement, CP will arrange placement of the fiber into manhole zero
with enough length (as designated by Verizon) to reach the virtual
collocation arrangement.
154
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
Maintenance activity (trouble in the equipment) is to be tested, isolated
and evaluated by CP. Verizon technicians will perform the instructed
activities on the equipment as specifically directed by cr.
CP shall provide, own, and operate the terminal equipment at their site
outside Verizon s premises.
Use of Non-Standard Eauipment.When CP requests a virtual
collocation arrangement consisting of equipment which Verizon does
not use in its network nor has deployed in that particular premise to
provide service to itself or another CLEC, CP shall be responsible for
training 50%, but no fewer than five, of Verizon technicians in the
administrative work unit responsible for servicing the equipment. Any
special tools or electronic test sets that Verizon does not have at the
premises involved must be provided by CP with adequate
manufacturer s training.
CP is responsible to arrange and pay all costs (including but not
limited to transportation and lodging for Verizon technicians) to have
Verizon technicians professionally trained by appropriate trainers
certified on the specific equipment to be used to provide the virtual
collocation arrangement to CP. CP shall also pay for Verizon
technicians' time subjectto rates contained in Appendix A. When
travel is required, travel expenses associated with training will be
charged to CP based on ticket stubs and/or receipts. This includes
paying for mileage according to the IRS rates for personal car mileage
or airfare, as appropriate CP also has the option of arranging and
paying for all travel expen~es for Verizon technicians directly.
In the event of an equipment upgrade, CP must provide secondary
training subject to the provisions contained herein.
Additions and Rearrangements. Once CP has established a virtual
collocation arrangement, changes to the existing configuration
(including but not limited to, growing, upgrading, and/or reconfiguring
the current equipment) are considered rearrangements to that virtual
collocation arrangement. If CP decides to rearrange an existing virtual
collocation arrangement, CP must submit a new application outlining
the details of the rearrangement along with a virtual engineering/major
augment fee.
Application of Rates and Charges.
Billina. Verizon will apply charges (e., non-recurring and recurring
rates for entry fiber, power, etc.) and commence billing for the virtual
collocation arrangement upon completion of the installation , when it
shall have finished all elements of the installation under its control.

virtual collocation are described in Appendix A.
Conversions . Requests for converting virtual collocation
arrangements to caged or cageless arrangements shall be submitted
and designated as an Augment Application described in Section 1.
Requests for converting a virtual arrangement to a cage less
arrangement that requires no physical changes to the arrangement will
be assessed a minor augment fee. All other conversion requests for
virtual to caged or cageless will be assessed an engineering/major
augment Fee and other applicable charges. Verizon will notify CP
within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the completed
Augment Application if CP conversion request is accepted or denied.
When converting a virtual arrangement to a caged or cageless
arrangement, CP's equipment may need to be relocated. CP will be
responsible for all costs associated with the relocation of its equipment
as described in Section 1.

10.
CP 10 Camp v2.7j.doc
transmitter/receivers, type of radio equipment, power output of
transmitters or any other technical parameters without the prior written
approval of Verizon.
Space and Facilities . Monthly rates are applicable to CP for the space
(generally on the premises roof) associated with Verizon or other
CLEC owned antenna support structures. The rate is calculated using
the rate per square foot, multiplied by the square footage of the
footprint, which resultant is multiplied by CP's relative capacity ratio
(RCR), (Le., the sum of the RCRs of each of the CP's antennas).
Square footage for the footprint will be based on the length times width
of the entire footprint formed on the horizontal plane (generally the roof
top) by the antenna(s), tower(s), mount(s), guy wires and/or support
structures used by CP. For a non-rectangular footprint, the length will
be measured at the longest part of the footprint and the width will be
the widest part of the footprint.
The owner of the support structure may charge CP proposing to use
the structure, on a one-time basis, for the following costs and/or
values. Any incremental costs associated with installing the CP'
antenna, including but not limited to, the costs of engineering studies
roof penetrations, structural attachments, support structure
modification or reinforcement, zoning and building permits. A portion
of the net book value of the support structure is based on the RCR of
CP's proposed antenna(s) to be mounted on the structure. CP's RCR
represents the percent of the total capacity of the support structure
used by CP's antenna(s) on the structure. Spare capacity shall be
deemed to be that of the owner of the structure. RCRs shall be
expressed as a two place decimal number, rounded to the nearest
whole percent. The sum of all users' RCRs and the owner s RCR shall
at all times equal 1.00. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of the
structure to provide CP the net book value of the structure at the time
of the proposed use. Upon request, the owner shall also provide the
proposed user accounting records or other documentation supporting
the net book value.
The owner of the structure may not assess CP any charges in addition
to the one-time charge described above, except that the owner of the
structure may assess CP a proportionate share of inspection costs and
Verizon may assess CP monthly recurring charges for use of its roof
space. At the time CP proposes to attach additional antennas to an
existing support structure, it shall be the responsibility of CP to obtain,
at its cost and expense, an engineering analysis by a registered
structural engineer to determine the relative capacity ratio of all
antennas on the structure, including the proposed antennas.
When a CP is the owner of the structure, the proposed user shall pay
CP directly the one-time charge as set forth above. When Verizon is
the owner of the support structure, it shall determine the charge on an
individual case basis. In the event that CP as owner of the support
structure fails to ucompl~lwith tfiese provisions, at Verizon soptior1
ownership of the support structure shall transfer to Verizon.
Costs incurred by Verizon to conduct a review for wind or ice loadings
(etc.) for antennas over 18 inches in diameter, or for any multiple

CP. Therefore, for those ported telephone numbers using INP, CP will provide the
911/E-911 database with both the forwarded number and the directory number, as well
as all other required information including the appropriate address information for the
Customer for entry into the 911/E-911 database system. Further, CP will outpulse the
telephone number to which the call has been forwarded (that is, the Customer s ANI) to
the 911 Tandem office or selective router. CP will include their NENA five character
Company Identification ("COlD") for inclusion in the All display.
CP is required to enter data into the 911/E-911 database under the NENA
Standards for LNP. This includes, but is not limited to, using CP's NENA COlD
to lock and unlock records and the posting of CP's NENA COlD to the All record
where such locking and migrating feature for 911/E-911 records are available or
as defined by local standards.
PSAP Coordination
Verizon and CP will work cooperatively to arrange meetings with PSAPs to answer any
technical questions the PSAPs, or county or municipal coordinators may have regarding
the 911/E-911 arrangements.
911 Compensation
