Design One Clause Samples

The "Design One" clause establishes the specific design or set of design documents that will serve as the basis for a project or agreement. In practice, this clause identifies which version of the design is to be used, often by referencing attached plans, drawings, or specifications, and may clarify that any changes to this design require formal approval. Its core function is to ensure all parties are aligned on the exact design to be implemented, thereby reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes over project scope and deliverables.
Design One. CLEC’s fiber cable (four fibers) and SBC ILLINOIS’s fiber cable (four fibers) are connected at a technically feasible point between CLEC and SBC ILLINOIS locations. This Interconnection point would be at a mutually agreeable location approximately midway between the two. The Parties’ fiber cables would be terminated and then cross-connected on a fiber termination panel as discussed below under the Fiber Termination Point options section. Each Party would supply a fiber optic terminal at their respective end. The POI would be at the fiber termination panel at the mid-point meet.
Design One. MCIm and AT&T ILLINOIS shall provide two fibers between their locations. This design may only be considered where existing fibers are available and there is a mutual benefit to both Parties. AT&T ILLINOIS will provide the fibers associated with the “working” side of the system. MCIm will provide the fibers associated with the “protection” side of the system. The Parties will work cooperatively to terminate each other’s fiber in order to provision this joint point-to-point linear chain SONET system. Both Parties will work cooperatively to determine the appropriate technical handoff for purposes of demarcation and fault isolation. The POI will be defined as being at the AT&T ILLINOIS location.
Design One. AT&T’s fiber cable (four fibers) and SBC-AMERITECH’s fiber cable (four fibers) are connected at a technically feasible point between AT&T and SBC-AMERITECH locations. This Interconnection point would be at a mutually agreeable location approximately midway between the two. The Parties’ fiber cables would be terminated and then cross connected on a fiber termination panel as discussed below under the Fiber Termination Point options section. Each Party would supply a fiber optic terminal at their respective end. The POI would be at the fiber termination panel at the mid-point meet.
Design One. Sprint’s fiber cable (four fibers) and AT&T 9-STATE’s fiber cable (four fibers) are connected at a Technically Feasible point between Sprint and AT&T 9-STATE locations. This Interconnection point would be at a mutually agreeable location approximately midway between the two. The Parties’ fiber cables would be terminated and then cross connected on a fiber termination panel. Each Party would supply a fiber optic terminal at its respective end. The POI would be at the fiber termination panel at the mid-point Meet Point.
Design One. MCIm and SBC ILLINOIS shall provide two fibers between their locations. This design may only be considered where existing fibers are available and there is a mutual benefit to both Parties. SBC ILLINOIS will provide the fibers associated with the “working” side of the system. MCIm will provide the fibers associated with the “protection” side of the system. The Parties will work cooperatively to terminate each other’s fiber in order to provision this joint point-to-point linear chain SONET system. Both Parties will work cooperatively to determine the appropriate technical handoff for purposes of demarcation and fault isolation. The POI will be defined as being at the SBC ILLINOIS location.
Design One. Cal-Ore’s fiber cable (four, or some integral multiple thereof, fibers) and CenturyTel's fiber cable (four, or some integral multiple thereof, fibers) are connected at an economically and technically feasible point between the Cal-Ore and CenturyTel locations. This Interconnection point would be at a mutually agreeable location.
