As more particularly described below, this loop makeup information will be categorized by three separate pricing elements: mechanized, manual, and detailed manual. Mechanized loop qualification includes data that is available electronically and provided via an electronic system. Electronic access to loop makeup data through the OSS enhancements described in 6.1 above will return information in all fields described in SBC\u2019s Advanced Services Plan of Record when such information is contained in SBC-12STATE\u2019s electronic databases. CLEC will be billed a mechanized loop qualification charge for each xDSL capable loop order submitted at the rates set forth in CLEC\u2019s Interconnection Agreement. Manual loop qualification requires the manual look-up of data that is not contained in an electronic database. Manual loop makeup data includes the following: (a) the actual loop length; (b) the length by gauge; (c) the presence of repeaters, load coils, bridged taps; and shall include, if noted on the individual loop record, (d) the total length of bridged taps; (e) the presence of pair gain devices, DLC, and/or DAML, and (f) the presence of disturbers in the same and/or adjacent binder groups. CLEC will be billed a manual loop qualification charge for each manual loop qualification requested at the rates set forth in CLEC\u2019s Interconnection Agreement. Detailed manual loop qualification includes all fields as described in SBC\u2019s Advanced Services Plan of Record. CLEC will be billed a detailed manual loop qualification charge for each detailed manual loop qualification requested at the rates set forth in CLEC\u2019s Interconnection Agreement. All three categories of loop qualification are subject to the following: If a CLEC elects to have SBC-12STATE provide loop makeup through a manual process for information not available electronically, then the loop qualification interval will be 3-5 business days, or the interval provided to SBC-12STATE\u2019s affiliate, whichever is less. If the results of the loop qualification indicate that conditioning is available, CLEC may request that SBC-12STATE perform conditioning at charges set forth in CLEC\u2019s Interconnection Agreement. The CLEC may order the loop without conditioning or with partial conditioning if desired. 7MAINTENANCE /SERVICE ASSURANCE Narrowband/voice service: In regards to the line shared service configuration as outlined above, if the narrowband, or voice, portion of the loop becomes significantly degraded due to the broadband or high frequency portion of the loop, certain procedures as detailed below will be followed to restore the narrowband, or voice service. Should only the narrowband or voice service be reported as significantly degraded or out of service, SBC-12STATE shall repair the narrowband portion of the loop without disturbing the broadband portion of the loop if possible. In any case, SBC-12STATE shall attempt to notify the end user and CLEC for permission any time SBC-12STATE repair effort has the potential of affecting service on the broadband portion of the loop. SBC-12STATE may proceed with repair of the voice circuit if unable to reach end- user after a reasonable attempt has been made to do so. When connected facility assignment or additional point of termination (CFA/APOT) change is required due to trouble, the pair change will be completed during the standard offered repair interval. CLEC agrees that standard offered intervals do not constitute performance measurement commitments. SBC-12STATE will provide resolution of CLEC-referred trouble tickets for the Broadband Service in parity with repair intervals SBC-12STATE provides its advanced services affiliates. If the CLEC opens a trouble ticket for the network service arrangements offered in conjunction with the Broadband Service to SBC-12STATE and the problem is determined to be in the CLEC\u2019s network, the CLEC will pay SBC-12STATE the applicable commissioned-ordered tariffed rate for trouble isolation, maintenance, and repair upon closing the trouble ticket. Maintenance, other than assuring loop continuity and balance on unconditioned or partially conditioned loop, will only be provided on a time and material basis. On loops where CLEC has requested recommended conditioning not be performed, SBC-12STATE\u2019s maintenance will be limited to verifying loop suitability for POTS. For loops having had partial or extensive conditioning performed at CLEC\u2019s request, SBC-12STATE will verify continuity, the completion of all requested conditioning, and will repair at no charge to CLEC any gross defects which would be unacceptable for POTS and which do not result from the loop\u2019s modified design. An SBC-12STATE will provide CLECs access to its legacy Mechanized Loop Testing (MLT) system and its inherent testing functions for each of the Broadband Service configurations outlined above. In the case of either the line shared and/or combined voice and data configurations, prior to a CLEC utilizing MLT intrusive test scripts, the CLEC must have established data service on that loop and have specifically informed the customer that service testing will interrupt both the data and voice telephone services served by that line. CLEC may not perform intrusive testing without having first obtained the express permission of the end user customer and the name of the person providing such permission. CLEC shall make a note on the applicable screen space of the name of the end user customer providing permission for such testing before initializing any intrusive test or so note such information on the CLEC\u2019s trouble documentation for non-mechanized tests. CLEC hereby agrees to assume any and all liability for any such intrusive testing it performs, including the payment of all costs associated with any damage, service interruption, or other telecommunications service degradation or damage to SBC-12STATE facilities and hereby agrees to release, defend and indemnify SBC-12STATE, and hold SBC-12STATE harmless, from any claims for loss or damages, including but not limited to direct, indirect or consequential damages, made against SBC-12STATE by an end user customer, any telecommunications service provider or telecommunications user relating to such testing by CLEC. SBC-12STATE will not guarantee that the local loop(s) ordered will perform as desired by CLEC for xDSL-based or other advanced services, but will guarantee basic metallic loop parameters, including continuity and pair balance. CLEC-requested testing by SBC-12STATE beyond these parameters will be billed on time and material basis as set forth in the tariff rates listed above. The CLEC shall not rearrange or modify the retail-POTS within its equipment in any way without first coordinating with SBC-12STATE. 7LOOP CONDITIONING Loop conditioning may be necessary in such instance as the distribution copper portion of the loop from the RT site to the end user (including the copper feeder to the SAI) contains copper disturbers in the network. In such instance loop conditioning will be required in conjunction with this offering. Such conditioning will be performed by SBC-12STATE when requested by CLEC. In such instance as Loop Conditioning is requested by CLEC for a loop provided for with this service offering, associated rates, terms and conditions for loop conditioning outlined above. 7FORECASTS In order for SBC-12STATE to effectively manage network capacity through the OCD and the shared OC-3c facility from the RT to the OCD, CLEC must provide SBC-12STATE a forecast to include, at a minimum a list of wire centers in which CLEC is expected to purchase OCD ports and the type of port (OC-3c or DS3c) expected to be ordered on wire center-by-wire center basis. Additionally, SBC-12STATE will require that CLEC a forecast of expected volume of PVCs to be provisioned through each OCD port on a wire center-by-wire center basis. SBC-12STATE will use such information only for the purposes of managing network capacity and will not divulge any such information to any third party or affiliate of SBC-12STATE. Such forecast will be non-binding for both SBC-12STATE and CLEC. Specific instructions for providing such forecasts will be published in the CLEC Handbook. CLEC agrees to provide such forecast upon such time as specific instructions as provided by SBC-12STATE are made available and CLEC is notified of such information via Accessible Letter. 7PRICING .1The Broadband Service will voluntarily be priced by SBC-12STATE in each state in accordance with the pricing methodology applicable to Unbundled Network Elements under Sections 251 c (3) and 252(d)(1) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, as it may change from time to time. The prices for the Broadband Service offerings described herein are set forth in the Broadband Service Generic Pricing Appendix. All pricing for the network service arrangement described here in are based upon statewide average pricing. 7CONSTANT BIT RATE CBR PVCs are being made available consistent with the rates, terms and conditions described herein on a Remote Terminal by Remote Terminal basis and will not be universally available to CLEC. CBR PVCs will be deployed at locations where operationally and technically feasible in the sole discretion of SBC-12STATE. SBC-12STATE will provide to CLEC information regarding specific locations where CBR PVC functionality will be made available via the Loop Qualification tool. Additional information is expected to be made available in the near future via the DSL Tracking Inquiry Tool (\"DTI\") and/or the CLEC Handbook. SBC-12STATE reserves the right to revoke this offering in whole or in part at any time in SBC-12STATE's sole discretion based upon the factors outlined in the FCC Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, CC Docket No. 98-141, released September 8, 2000. Such factors will include, but not be limited to, adverse capacity impacts upon SBC-12STATE's network and SBC-12STATE's ability to recover the costs for provisioning and maintaining CBR PVCs. SBC-12STATE will provide CBR service where the Lucent OCDs and Alcatel Litespan 2000 NGDLC are deployed, subject to the limitations set forth in this agreement. SBC-12STATE will not provide CBR PVCs in conjunction with any other form of equipment being deployed with Project Pronto. SBC-12STATE reserves the right to reject any CLEC order for a CBR PVC should no capacity and/or facilities exist. SERVICE PARAMETERS SBC-12STATE will provide CBR service at 96 Kbps. In the event that a CLEC reports that they not receiving a 96 Kbps downstream and upstream CBR Quality of Service (QoS), SBC-12STATE will trouble shoot such service consistent within the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement. In provisioning a CBR PVC, SBC-12STATE will apply the following QoS parameters. Upstream Cell Transfer Delay 3ms; Downstream Cell Transfer Delay 2 ms; Upstream Cell Delay Variance 1.2 ms; Downstream Cell Delay Variance .7 ms; Cell Loss Ratio 7x10-9 SBC-12STATE will not provide acceptance testing upon request by CLEC.
