Ymax 10 Comp v2.
Under Splitter Option C , upon request by Ymax, either
Verizon or, at Ymax s election, a Verizon-approved vendor
selected by Ymax will install a Ymax-provided test head to
enable Ymax to conduct remote physical tests of the shared
Loop. This optional Ymax-provided test head will be
installed at a point between the "line" port of the splitter and
the Verizon-provided test head that is used by Verizon to
conduct its own Loop testing. The Ymax-provided test head
must satisfy the same NEBS requirements that Verizon
imposes on its own test head equipment or the test head
equipment of any Verizon Affiliate , and may not interrupt the
voice circuit to any greater degree than a conventional ML T
test. Specifically, the Ymax-provided test equipment may
not interrupt an in-progress voice connection and must
automatically restore any circuits tested in intervals
comparable to ML T. Verizon will inventory, control and
maintain the Ymax-provided test head, and will direct all
required activity.
Under either Splitter Option , if Verizon has installed its own
test head, Verizon will conduct tests of the shared Loop
using a Verizon-provided test head , and, upon request, will
provide these test results to Ymax during normal trouble
isolation procedures in accordance with reasonable
procedures.
1.4 Under either Splitter Option, upon request by Ymax
Verizon will make MLT access available to Ymax via
RETAS after the Service Order has been completed. Ymax
wi!! utilize the circuit number to initiate a test.
Where Verizon has deployed Wideband Test equipment
(i., Verizon-East), under either Splitter Option , upon
request by Ymax, Verizon shall perform a Wideband Test to
diagnose troubles and provide Ymax with the test results
during the trouble shooting process. Charges for Wideband
Testing are as set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon has not employed a POT
Bay for interconnection of Ymax s collocation arrangement with
Verizon s network, Ymax will riot be permitted to supply its OWrl test
head. Instead , Verizon will make a testing system available to Ymax
through use of the on-line computer interface test system at
www.verizon.com/wise.
The Parties will continue to work cooperatively on testing procedures.
To this end, in situations where Ymax has attempted to use one or
more of the foregoing testing options but is still unable to resolve the
error or trouble on the shared Loop, Verizon and Ymax will each
dispatch a technician to an agreed-upon point to conduct a joint meet
test to identify and resolve the error or trouble. Verizon may assess a
charge for a misdirected dispatch only if the error or trouble is
determined to be one that Ymax should reasonably have been able to
isolate and diagnose through one of the testing options available to
Ymax above. The Parties will mutually agree upon the specific
procedures for conducting joint meet tests.
103
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
8.4 Verizon and Ymax each have a responsibility to educate the Customer
regarding which service provider should be called for problems with
their respective service offerings. Verizon will retain primary
responsibility for voice band trouble tickets, including repairing analog
Voice Grade services and the physical line between the NID at the
Customer premises and the point of demarcation in the Central Office.
Ymax will be responsible for repairing services it offers over the Line
Sharing arrangement. Each Party will be responsible for maintaining
its own equipment. If a splitter or test head that Ymax has provided to
Verizon malfunctions, Ymax shall provide a replacement splitter or test
head to Verizoh. Before either Party initiates any activity on a shared
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 Ymax 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 oniy be responsibie for testing and repairing the
Inside Wire for voice-grade services. Verizon will not test, dispatch a
technJcian, repair, or upgrade Inside Wire to clear trouble calls
associated with Ymax s Advanced Services. Verizon will not repair any
CPE provided by Ymax. Before a trouble ticket is issued to Verizon
Ymax shall validate whether the Customer is experiencing a trouble
that arises from Ymax 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, ifVerizon determines the reported trouble arises from Ymax
equipment, spiitter problems, or Ymax s activities, Verizon wiii:
Notify Ymax and request that Ymax immediately test the
trouble on Ymax s service.
If the Customer s Voice Grade service is so degraded that
the Customer cannot originate or receive Voice Grade calls
and Ymax 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 Ymax s service. Where the Customer
Voice Grade service is degraded by Ymax s particular
technology deployment, Verizon will, to the extent required
by Applicable Law, establish before the Commission that
Ymax s particular technology deployment is causing the
significant degradation and, upon Verizon having done so
Ymax 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 Ymax-provided splitter from the Customer's Loop and
switch port if Verizon determines in good faith that the
cause of the voice interruption is Ymax s service.
104
6.4 Upon notification from Ymax that the malfunction in Ymax
service has been cleared, Verizon will restore Ymax
service by restoring the splitter on the Customer s Loop.
Upon completion of the above steps , Ymax will be charged
a Trouble Isolation Charge (TIC) to recover Verizon s costs
of isolating and temporarily removing the malfunctioning
Ymax service from the Customer s line if the cause of the
voice interruption was Ymax s service.
Verizon shall not be liable to Ymax, the Customer, or any
other person , for damages of any kind for disruptions to
Ymax 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 Ymax 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 terminated to 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 OO-O127, allowing for local
jurisdictional and OSS differences.
Sub-Loop
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon request by
Ymax, Verizon shall allow Ymax to access Sub-Loops unbundled from local switching
and transport, in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 and the rates and charges
set forth in the Pricing Attachment. Verizon shall allow Ymax access to Sub-Loops in
accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law- The available Sub-

Ymax with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Faciiity, Verizon shall bill
Ymax, and Ymax 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 Ymax TOPIC and Ymax has paid the full cost of such
installation, Ymax can request the connection of Verizon Sub-Loop
Distribution Facilities to the Ymax TOPIC. At the same time, Ymax
shall advise Verizon of the services that Ymax 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. Ymax shall run any crosswires within the TOPIC.
If Ymax requests that Verizon reactivate an unused drop and NID
then Ymax shall provide dial tone (or its DSL equivalent) on the Ymax
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 Ymax dial tone or equivalent from the
TOPIC. If Ymax requests that Verizon provide Ymax with access to a
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility that, at the time of Ymax s request
Verizonis-usingtopr:ovide service to a Customer, then, after Ymax
has looped two interconnecting pairs through the TOPIC and atleast
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, Ymax shall disconnect Verizon s dial
tone, crosswire its dial tone to the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility and
submit Ymax s LNP 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

Ymax 10 Camp v2.124
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
Sinqle Caqed. 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 Caqed. 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
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
exchange 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 theCLEC 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 CLECls solely responsible for determining
whether to sublease a shared caged Collocation arrangement and if
, 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 Atiachment 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 cageless
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.
Adjacent.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.
Ymax 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. Ymax 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 Ymax on Verizon property must comply with
Verizon s technicai specifications as they rei ate Lo environmental
safety and grounding requirements. Verizon will make available power
and physical Collocation services to Ymax 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 Ymax
provided equipment which is dedicated to the exclusive use of the
Ymax 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
Ymax 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.
Point of Contact.Ymax must request Collocation
arrangements through Verizon s designated point of
contact. Completed applications for Collocation must be

coliocation.applicationsaD.verizon.com. Additional
information and requirements regarding Collocation may be
obtained from Verizon s public website at wNw. verizon.com.
1.2 Application Form/Fee.Ymax requesting Collocation at a
Verizon premise will be required to complete the application
form and submit the non-refundable engineering fee set
forth in the Pricing Attachment, described in Section 1.
for each Verizon premise at which Collocation is requested.
The application form will require Ymax to provide all
engineering, floor space (where applicable), power
environmental and other requirements necessary for the
function of the service. Ymax 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
Ymax.
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 Availability.Subject to forecasting requirements, Verizon will
inform Ymax whether space is available to accommodate Ymax
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.
2.2.2 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 Ymax within twenty (20) Business Days. At the end
of this period, Verizon will proceed as described in 1.2.1 or
1.2.2.2 above.
Collocation Schedule. If space is available, Verizon will provide to
Ymax a Collocation schedule describing Verizon s ability to meet the
physical Collocation request within eight (8) Business Days after
receipt of a completed application. Yrnax 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 Ymax in order to
complete the application. If Ymax resubmits a revised application curing
any deficiencies in its original application within ten (10) calendar days after
127
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
1.2.4
being informed of them, Ymax shall retain its position within the Collocation
application queue.
(Intentionally Left Blank).
Auqmentation.Any request for an addition, partial reduction, or a
change to an existing Collocation arrangement that has been
inspected and turned over to Ymax shall be considered an
augmentation request. 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 circumstances outlined below. The definition of a
major or minor augment is as follows:
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 Ymax requested in its
original application. A complete application and engineering
fee will be required when submitting a request that requires
a major augment.
5.2 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 Ymax requested in its original application.
The requirements of a minor augment request cannot
exceed the capacity of the existing/piOposed 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 Ymax including but not limited to:
instCjllation of virtual equipment cards or software upgrades
removalof virtual equipment, requests to pull cable from
exterior microwave facilities, and requests to terminate DSO
DS 1 and DS3 cables.
Minor augments that do not require a fee are those
augments performed solely by Ymax, that do not require
Verizon to provide a service or function on behalf of Ymax
including but not limited to , requests to install additional
equipment in Ymax Collocation space. Prior to the
installation of the additional equipment, Ymax agrees to
provide Verizon an application form with an updated
equipment listing that includes the new equipment to be
installed in Ymax s Collocation arrangement. Once the
equipment list is submitted to Verizon, Ymax may proceed
with the augment. Ymax agrees that changes in equipment
provided by Ymax under this provision will not exceed the
128
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
1.2.
engineering specifications for power and HV AC 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.
Expansion. Verizon will not be required to construct additional space
to provide for Ymax Collocation when available space has been
exhausted. Where Ymax 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 Ymax to expand its existing Collocation space. Ymax
requests for expansion of existing space within a specific Verizon
premise will require the submission of an application form and the
appropriate major augment fee.
Relocation. Ymax requests for relocation of the termination equipment
from one location to a different location within the same Verizon
piemise will be handled on an 1GB basis. Ymax wi!! be responsible for
all costs associated with the relocation of its equipment.
Installation and Operation.
Joint Planninq and Implementation Levels for Physical Collocation.
Verizon and Ymax 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 Ymax 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 sharing/line splitting facilities, where line
sharing/splitting already exists within the central
office and where Ymax is eligible for line
sharing/line splitting, or

one (1) additional item as defined in 1 through 7
preceding; or 2 of the following: a) 28 DS1
terminations; b) 3 DS3 terminations; or c) 12
fiber terminations. Ymax must have 100% of all
cables terminated to the existing cross connects
for the one additional item selected and the in-
service capacity of that selection must be at
85% utilization or above unless Ymax can
demonstrate to Verizon that: a) the previous two
months trend in growth would exceed 100%
the available capacity by the end of the forty-five
(45) Business Day augment interval; or b) other
good cause or causes that Ymax 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 Ymax jointly
decide otherwise:
; .; .
Day 1-Ymax submits completed application
and associated fee.
Day 8-Verizon notifies Ymax that request can
be accommodated and advises of due date.
Day 17-Ymax notifies Verizon of its intent to
proceed and submits 50% payment.
3.4 Day 3D-Material ships and is received at
. vendor warehouse; Ymaxprovided splitters
delivered to vendor warehouse (Line Sharing
Option C only, and applicable only where Ymax
is eligible for line sharing/line splitting).
Day 45-Augment (as defined herein)
completes.
Day 76-Verizon and Ymax attend Collocation
acceptance meeting and Verizon turns over the
Collocation arrangement to Ymax. 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:
130
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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).
1.4.The Ymax must install sufficient equipment to
support requested terminations/facilities.
1.4.In large central offices with complex cable runs
(i.e., multiple floors), the Verizon may request to
negotiate extensions to the forty-five (45)
Business Day interval.
A preliminary schedule will be developed outlining major
milestones. Ymax 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 Ymax
misses (day for day). When Verizon becomes aware of the
possibility of vendor delays, Verizon will first contact Ymax
to attempt to negotiate a new interval. IfVerizon and Ymax
cannot agree, the dispute will be submitted to the
Commission for prompt resolution. Verizon and Ymax 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 Ymax to schedule one
escorted visit to Ymax s Collocation space during
construction. The applicable labor rates in the Pricing
Attachment 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 Ymax access to the
Collocation arrangement to install equipment while the delayed
work is completed, so long as it is safe to do so and Ymax
work does not impair or interfere with Verizon in completing
Verizon s work. Prior to Ymax beginning the installation of its
equipment, Ymax must signa conditional acceptance ofthe
Collocation arrangement. If Ymax elects to accept the space
prior to the scheduled completion, occupancy fees shall
commence upon signing a conditional acceptance of the space
byYmax.
Intervals for non-standard arrangements, including adjacent
Collocation, shall be mutually agreed upon by Ymax 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
131
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
time required to condition Collocation space, and will inform
Ymax of the time estimates as soon as possible.
3.2.
Forecasting and Use of Data.
Verizon will request forecasts from Ymax on a semi-annual
basis, with each forecast covering a two-year period. Ymax
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 Ymax is eligible for line sharing/line splitting. For
augments, Ymax may elect to substitute altemative CLLI
codes within a LATA for the forecasted demand.
IfVerizon has a written guarantee of reimbursement, it wi!!
examine forecasts for offices in which it is necessary to
condition space, and discuss these forecasts with Ymax to
determine the required space to be conditioned. IfVerizon
commits to condition space based on forecasts and if Ymax is
assigned space, Ymax 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 will enter into planning
discussions with Ymax 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
if forecasts 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.
2.2.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.
2.2.4 Forecast received two (2) months or more prior
to application receipt date: Interval Start Date
commences on the application receipt date.
132
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
3.4
Any such interval adjustments will be discussed with Ymax
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
particular geographic area) 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. If
Verizon and Ymax fail to agree to smooth demand, Verizon
will determine if additional expenditures would be required
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 Ymax forecasts
and if Ymax refuses to smooth demand as described in
Section 1., Ymax 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 Ymax actual and forecasted demand with appropriate
vendors, as required, subject to the appropriate confidentiality
safeguards.
Responsibility for Vendor Delays. 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.
Caqe Construction.For caged Collocation, Ymax may
construct the cage with a standard enclosure if they are a
Verizon approved contractor or Ymax may subcontract this
work to a Verizon approved contractor.
Site Selection/Power.Verizon shall designate the space
within its premise where Ymax shall collocate its equipment.
Verizon will assign Collocation space to Ymax in a just
reasonable, and nondiscriminatory manner. Verizon will
allow Ymax requesting caged or cageless Collocation to
submit space preferences on the Application Form prior to
assigning caged and cageless Collocation space to Ymax.
Verizon will assign caged and cageless space in
accordance with the following standards: (1) Ymax
Collocation costs cannot be materially increased by the
133
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
assignment; (2) Ymax 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 Ymax 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.
Verizon may assign caged and cageless Collocation 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;
(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 Ymax 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, Verizonshall provide , at the rates set
forth in the Pricing Attachment described in Section 1.
48V DC power with generator and/or battery back-up, heat
air conditioning and other environmental support to Ymax
equipment in the same standards and parameters required
for Verizon equipment within that Verizon premise. Ymax
may install AC convenience outlets and overhead lighting if
Ymax 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 Ymax in its
Collocation application. The Ymax will specify the load on
each feed and the size of the fuse to be placed on each
feed. Ymax must ordera m!ni!TI~m ofter:1 (10) load amps
for each caged, cageless, and virtual Collocation
arrangement. Ymax 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 Ymax orders a total of 40 load amps of DC
power and anA and B feed, Ymax could order 20 load
. amps on the A feed and 20 load amps on the B feed.
Verizon will permit Ymax to order a fuse size up to 2.5 times
the load amps ordered provided that applicable law permits
this practice. Thus, Ymax could order that each feed be
fused at 50 amps if Ymax wants one feed to carry the entire
load in the event the other feed fails. Accordingly, Ymax will
be charged on the basis of the total number of load amps
134
6.4
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
ordered, i., 40 amps, and not based on the total number of
amps available for the fuse size ordered.
Ymax 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 Ymax in its
Collocation application. Any subsequent orders to increase
DC power load at a 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
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 Ymax.
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 1.6.7.2
that arrangement is subject to the following treatment:
Verizon will provide Ymax with written
notification , by certified US mail to the person
designated by Ymax 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, Ymax 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 Ymax 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
135
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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
Ymax to receive such notice via telephone or e-
mail that Verizon will take a second
measurement no sooner than one (1) hour and
no later than two (2) days after the initial
inspection. Verizon will not wait for Ymax or
require it to be present during the second
inspection.
8.2 Additional Labor charges, as set forth in the
Pricing Attachment, apply for the cost
associated with performing this inspection.
8.4
Ymax may perform its own inspection at Ymax
cage. Ymax is not required to wait for Verizon
or require it to be present during Ymax test.
Upon request of Ymax, Verizon will send a
representative to accompany Ymax to conduct a
joint inspection at Ymax cage at no charge to
Ymax. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prohibit Ymax from testing at its own cage.
Ymax 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 Ymax s measurements differ from
Verizon
If the second test also exceeds the applicable
buffer zone, Verizon will provide Ymax with
written notification, within ten (10) Business
Days, by certified U.S. mail to the person
designated by Ymax 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 Ymax that was audited, upon
request. Verizon will treat as confidential
information the identity of CLECs that it audits
136
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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 V~rizon from making the notice
described in Section 1.
If Ymax disagrees with the results of the audit
Ymax will first notify Verizon. Verizon and Ymax
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 in this Agreement
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 buffer zone; or (2) after Ymax 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 Ymax that it
must submit a non-scheduled attestation of the
power being drawn at each of its remaining
Collocation arrangements in the state. Ymax
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
, thenYmaxshalipayVerizon 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, Ymax wiii
be billed the audited load amount for four (4)
months. Ymax 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. Ymax must send notice of its
Charity payment to Verizon within ten (10)
calendar days of making the payment.
137
YmaxlO Camp v2.
For the second such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period, Ymax will
be billed the audited load amount for five (5)
months. Ymax 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. Ymax 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 , Ymax will
be billed the audited load amount for six (6)
months. Ymax 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 six
(6) months. Ymax must send notice of its
Charity payment to Verizon within ten (10)
calendar days of making the payment.
For more than three (3) violations within the
same consecutive twelve (12) month period
Verizon will bill Ymax 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.
9.4
Verizon will notify Ymax that it is being billed
pursuant to this Section 1.9, 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 Ymax has requested a power augment under which the
auditeduamount would be within the augmentedload plus .
the applicable buffer zone setforth in Section1., 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, Ymax must submit a written statement signed by
a responsible officer of Ymax, 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 Ymax s completed Collocation
arrangements provided by Verizon in the state. If Ymax
fails to submit this written statement by the last day in June
Verizon will notify Ymax in writing that it has thirty (30)
calendar days to submit its power attestation. Failure to
138
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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 Ymax.
Whenever Verizon is required to perform work on a
Collocation arrangement as a result of Ymax 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 the Pricing Attachment.
If Ymax orders a change in the power configuration
requiring new -48 volt DC power feeds to the Collocation
arrangement, Verizon will require an engineering/major
augment Fee with an appliccJtion, as set forth in the Pricing
Attachment, subject to the terms and conditions described
in Section 1.2.5. In addition, if Ymax s order for a reduction
in DC power triggers the deployment of power cabling to a
different power distribution point, the engineering/major
augment fee as set forth in the Pricing Attachment applies.
Verizon will work cooperatively with Ymax to configure the
new power distribution cables and disconnect the old ones.
Equipment and Facilities.
Purchase of Equipment.Ymax 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 Ymax s equipment and provided facilities for
Collocation. Upon installation of all transmission and power
cables for Collocation services, Ymax 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 otanyequipment 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 Ymax 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 Ymax from obtaining nondiscriminatory access to
that unbundled network element, including any of its
features, functions, or capabilities.
139
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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 Ymax 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 betlNeen the additional functions the
equipment would perform and the telecommunication
services Ymax 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
Ymax for purposes within the scope of Section 251 (c)(6) of
the Act, Verizon shall prove to the state commission that the
equipment is not necessary for interconnection or access to
unbundled network elements under the standards set forth
above.
Ymax 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 remov~d in accordance with the
applicable requirements and specifications of the current
editions of the National Electrical Code (NEe), 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
Ymax entrance facilities and splices must comply with
Telec()r9ia ~ec;h!1ologies' Generic Specification for Optical
Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable(TR~TSY-OO2b): 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.
Ymax 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
140
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
7.4
may exist, the more stringent shall apply. If there is a
conflict between industry standards and Verizon s technical
specifications, Ymax and Verizon will make a good faith
effort to resolve the difference. Ymax 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.
Ymax 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.
Ymax equipment is not required to meet the same
performance and reliability standards as Verizon imposes
on its own equipment as defined inVerizon s RNSA-NEB-
95-0003, Revision 10 or higher. In addition, Ymax 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 Ymax written material which will
specify and explain the required construction.
Cable. Ymax is required to provide proper cabling, based
on circuit type (VF, DSO; xOSL, DS1 , OS3, etc.) to ensure
adequate shielding and reduce the possibility of
interference. Ymax is responsible for providing fire
retardant riser cable that meets Verizon standards. Verizon
is responsible for placing Ymax s fire retardant riser cable
from the cable vault to the Collocation space. Verizon is
responsible for installing Ymax 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 Ymax provides its own fiber optic facility, then Y max
shall be responsible for bringing its fiber optic cable to the.
Verizon premise manhole. Ymax must leave sufficient
cable length for Verizon to be able to fully extend such
cable through to Ymax s Collocation space.
Manhole/Splicinq Restrictions. Verizon reserves the right to
prohibit all equipment and facilities, other than fiber optic
cable, in its manholes. Ymax will not be permitted to splice
fiber optic cable in the first manhole outside of the Verizon
. premise. Where Ymax 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 Ymax s Collocation space. Verizon is
responsible for installing a cable splice, if necessary, where
Ymax provided fiber optic cable meets Verizon standards
within the Verizon premise cabie vault or designated
141
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
3.7.
7.7
3.7.8
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 Ymax s facilities and Verizon
facilities will be designated by Verizon. This point(s) will be
a direct connection(s) to Ymax s network. Verizon shall
have the right to require Ymax to terminate Collocation
facilities onto a Point of Termination (POT) Bay. Ymax
must tag all entrance facilities to indicate ownership. Ymax
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.
Staqinq Area. For caged and cageiess Coliocation
arrangements, Ymax 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
Ymax s equipment installation work in the Collocation
space. Ymax is responsible for protecting Verizon
equipment Verizon premise walls and flooring within the
staging area and along the staging route. Ymax 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. Ymax may also utilize a
staging trailer, which can be located on the exterior
premises of Verizon premise. Verizon may assess Ymax a
market value lease rate for the area occupied by the trailer.
Testinq . Upon installation ofYmax s equipment, and with
prior notice, Verizon and Ymax will mutually agree to
schedule a meeting prior to the tum-up phase of the
equipment to ensure proper functionality between Ymax
equipment and the connections to Verizon equipment. The
time period for this to occur will correspond to Verizon
maintenance window installation requirements. Itis solely
the responsibility of Ymax to provide their own monitor and
test points, if required, for connection directly to its terminal
equipment. If Ymax cannot attend the scheduled turn-up
phase meeting for any reason, Ymax must provide Verizon
with seventy-two (72) hours advanced written notice prior to
the scheduled meeting. if Ymax fails to attend the
scheduled meeting without the advanced written
notification, Verizon reserves the right to charge Ymax
additional labor rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment for
subsequent turn-up meetings with Ymax which are required
to complete the turn-up phase of the Collocation
arrangement.
Interconnection Between Collocated Spaces.Dedicated
Transit Service (DTS), which allows for interconnection
142
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
between Ymax and another CLEC, provides a dedicated
electrical or optical path between Collocation arrangements
(caged, cage less, 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 Ymax and agreed to by
Verizon. Verizon will offer DTS to Ymax 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 Ymaxs Collocation
arrangement to another Collocation arrangement of Y max
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 Ymax to
another CLEC.
The DTS arrangement requires Ymax to provide cable
assignment information for itself as well as for the other CLEC.
Verizon will not make cable assignments for DTS. Ymax is
responsible for all DTS ordering, bill payment, disconnect
orders and maintenance transactions and is the customer of
record. When initiating a DTS request, Ymax 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 Ymax.
Optical Facility Terminations: If Ymax requests access to
unbundled dark fiber interoffice facilities, Ymax may apply
for a fiber optic patchcord connection(s) between Verizon
fiber distribution panel (FDP) and Ymax s collocated
tral1smission eguipment and facilities. The fiber optic
patchcord cross connect is limited in use solely in
conjunction with access to unbundled dark fiber and
Dedicated Transit Service.
Non-Compliant Installations and Operations. If at any time
Verizon reasonably determines that either Ymax
Collocation equipment or it's engineering and installation do
not meet the requirements outlined in this Attachment
Ymax 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 Ymax
fails to correct any non-compliance with these standards
within thirty (30) days' written notice to Ymax, Verizon may
have the equipment removed or the condition corrected at
Ymax expense. If, during the installation phase, Verizon
reasonably determines that any Ymax designated
143
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
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
tc:ike such action that Verizon deems necessary without
prior notice to Ymax. The reasonable cost of said work
and/or actions shall be bome by Ymax. Verizon reserves
the right to remove products, facilities and equipment from
its list of approved products upon ninety (90) days' notice to
Ymax if such products, facilities and equipment are
determined to be no longer compliant with NEBS safety
standards. If Ymax equipment poses an immediate safety
threat, Ymax shall remove the equipment immediately.

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 swipe cards
keyed access and/or logs, as deemed appropriate by
Verizon.
Verizon may require Ymax employees and contractors to
use a central or separate entrance to Verizon s premises
provided, however, that where Verizon requires that Ymax
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 feasi5le~ (ii) Either legitimate ~ecurity 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 Ymax s Collocation costs.
Access Cards/Identification.Access cards or keys will be
provided to no more than a reasonable number of
individuals for Ymax for each Verizon premise for the
purpose of installation, maintenance and repair of Ymax

sites on its website and will update the list within ten (10) calendar
147
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
1.4.
1.4.
1.4.4
days of the date at which a Verizon premise runs out of caged and
cageless 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 Ymax 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 Ymax. The minimum
amount of floor space available to Ymax 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
Ymax 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
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.
.Addition a! space can be requested by Ymax by completing and
submitting a new application form and the applicable non-refundable
engineering fee set forth in the Pricing Attachment. Verizon will not be
required to lease additional space when available space has been
exhausted.
Use of Space.Verizon and Ymax will work cooperatively to determine
proper space requirements, and efficient use of space. In addition to
other applicable requirements set forth in this Agreement, Ymax shall
install all its equipment within its designated area in contiguous line-
ups in order to optimize the utilization of space within Verizon
premises. Ymax shall-e the Collocationspacl3solely for the
purposes of installing, maintaining and operating Ymax s equipment to
interconnect for the exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or for
purposes of accessing UNEs. Ymax 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 Ymax
emptoyee(s) work location, office or retail space, or storage. The
Collocation space shall not be used as Ymax 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
148
Ymax 10 Camp v2.
1.4.
1.4.
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 cageless Collocation requests.
Ymax shall not be permitted to reserve Verizon premise cable space
or conduit system. If new conduit is required, Verizon will negotiate
with Ymax to determine an alternative arrangement for the specific
location. Ymax will be allowed to reserve Cbllocation space for its
caged/cageless arrangements based on Ymaxs 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 Ymax equipment.
Collocation Space Report. Upon request by Ymax and upon Ymax
signing a Collocation nondisclosure agreement, Verizon will make
available a Collocation space report with the following information for
the Verizon premise requested:
Detailed description and amount of caged and cageless
Collocation space available;
1.4.5.2 Number of telecommunications carriers with existing
Collocation arrangements;
1.4.Modifications of the use of space since the last Collocation
space report requested; and
1.4.5.4 Measures being taken, if any, to make additional
Collocation sf)aces 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 Ymax 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 the Pricing Attachment will be assessed per request and
per Verizon premise.
Reclamation. When initiating an application form, Ymax 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 Ymax accepts the Collocation
arrangement. If Ymax 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
