SYSTEMS at any time during the processing of the NBR. BellSouth shall
respond to TC SYSTEMS by providing a preliminary analysis of such
Requested Services that are the subject of the NBR within thirty (30)
calendar days of its receipt of the request or receipt of fee as set forth in
3.3 above, or notify TC SYSTEMS that it needs more time to provide TC
SYSTEMS with its preliminary analysis. Should BellSouth require more
time to deliver the preliminary analysis, TC SYSTEMS and BellSouth will
then determine a mutually agreeable date for delivery of the preliminary
analysis. The preliminary analysis shall either confirm that BellSouth will
offer access to the Requested Services or confirm that BellSouth will not
offer the Requested Services. If the preliminary analysis states that
BellSouth will not offer the Requested Services, BellSouth will provide an
explanation of why the request is not technically feasible, does not qualify
as a NBR for the Requested Services or is otherwise not required to be
provided under the Act.
3.5 TC SYSTEMS may cancel an NBR at any time. If TC SYSTEMS cancels
the request more than ten (10) business days after submitting it, TC
SYSTEMS shall pay BellSouth’s reasonable and demonstrable costs of
processing and/or implementing the NBR up to the date of cancellation.
3.6 TC SYSTEMS will have thirty (30) business days from receipt of
preliminary analysis to accept the preliminary analysis or cancel the NBR
as set forth in section 3.4. If TC SYSTEMS fails to respond within this 30day
period, the NBR will be deemed cancelled and BellSouth will use best
efforts to notify TC SYSTEMS that the order is pending cancellation.
Acceptance of the preliminary analysis must be in writing and
accompanied by all nonrecurring charges quoted in the preliminary
analysis. The nonrecurring charges as stated in the preliminary analysis
cover the initial work required to develop the project plan, create the design
parameters, and establish all activities and resources required to complete
the NBR. TC SYSTEMS will begin processing the payment of
development costs at the time it issues the written "notice to proceed" with
payment due to BellSouth within 15 days of the issuance of the notice to
proceed.
3.7 If TC SYSTEMS accepts the preliminary analysis, BellSouth shall propose
a firm price quote and a detailed implementation plan within thirty (30)
business days of receipt of TC SYSTEMS’s acceptance of the preliminary
analysis and nonrecurring fees quoted in the preliminary analysis.
3.8 TC SYSTEMS shall have thirty (30) business days from receipt of the
firm price quote to accept or deny the firm price quote and submit any
additional nonrecurring, non-refundable fees quoted in the firm price
quote.
