Attachment 4 - Remote Site
Page 5
3.1 Cageless. BellSouth shall allow TC SYSTEMS to collocate TC SYSTEMS’s
equipment and facilities without requiring the construction of a cage or similar
structure. BellSouth shall allow TC SYSTEMS to have direct access to TC
SYSTEMS’s equipment and facilities in accordance with Section 5.8. BellSouth shall
make cageless collocation available in single rack/bay increments. Except where TC
SYSTEMS’s equipment requires special technical considerations (e.g., special cable
racking or isolated ground plane), BellSouth shall assign cageless Remote Collocation
Space in conventional equipment rack lineups where feasible. For equipment requiring
special technical considerations, TC SYSTEMS must provide the equipment layout,
including spatial dimensions for such equipment pursuant to generic requirements
contained in Telcordia GR-63-Core, and shall be responsible for compliance with all
special technical requirements associated with such equipment pursuant to Section 7.6
following.
3.2 Caged. At TC SYSTEMS’s expense, TC SYSTEMS may arrange with a Supplier
certified by BellSouth (“BellSouth Certified Supplier”) to construct a collocation
arrangement enclosure, where technically feasible as that term has been defined by the
FCC, in accordance with BellSouth’s Technical References (TR) (“Specifications”)
prior to starting equipment installation. BellSouth will provide Specifications upon
request. TC SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier shall be responsible for filing
and receiving any and all necessary permits and/or licenses for such construction.
BellSouth shall cooperate with TC SYSTEMS and provide, at TC SYSTEMS’s
expense, the documentation, including existing building architectural drawings,
enclosure drawings, and Specifications required and necessary for TC SYSTEMS’s
BellSouth Certified Supplier to obtain the zoning, permits and/or other licenses. TC
SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier shall bill TC SYSTEMS directly for all
work performed for TC SYSTEMS pursuant to this Attachment and BellSouth shall
have no liability for nor responsibility to pay such charges imposed by TC
SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier. TC SYSTEMS must provide the local
BellSouth Remote Site Location contact with two Access Keys used to enter the
locked enclosure. Access Keys provided to BellSouth shall not be duplicated under
any circumstances. Except in the case of an emergency, BellSouth will not access TC
SYSTEMS’s locked enclosure prior to notifying TC SYSTEMS at least forty-eight
(48) hours or two (2) business days, whichever is greater, before access to the Remote
Site Location is required. BellSouth shall notify TC SYSTEMS in writing
immediately in the case of lost or stolen Access Keys. BellSouth will reimburse TC
SYSTEMS the reasonable costs to replace each Access Key lost or stolen. Should it
become necessary for TC SYSTEMS to re-key locked enclosures as a result of a lost
Access Key(s) or for failure to return an Access Key(s), BellSouth shall pay for all
reasonable costs associated with the re-keying. TC SYSTEMS shall have the right, at
its expense, to have locks changed where deemed necessary for the protection and
security of its locked enclosures, provided that TC SYSTEMS shall immediately
