7.1.1 BellSouth will complete construction for collocation arrangements under ordinary
conditions as soon as possible and within a maximum of sixty (60) calendar days from
receipt of a BFFO and ninety (90) calendar days from receipt of a BFFO for
extraordinary conditions or as agreed to by the Parties. Ordinary conditions are

such cases, the above intervals shall not apply and BellSouth will provision the Remote
Collocation Space in a nondiscriminatory manner and at parity with BellSouth and will
provide TC SYSTEMS with the estimated completion date in its Response.
