Common use of Application Process Clause in Contracts

Application Process. 99.1 Upon CLEC’s selection of a Premises in which it desires to collocate its Equipment, CLEC can find the then current collocation application form (the “Application) on CenturyLink’s website. CLEC will submit an Application when initially requesting Collocation Space, or modifying the use of the Collocation Space. The Application shall contain a detailed description and schematic drawing of the equipment to be placed in CLEC’s Collocation Space(s), the amount of square footage required (or, in the case of Cageless Collocation, bay space) for the current year plus the next calendar year from the date of application, as well as the associated power requirements, floor loading, and heat release of each piece. 99.1.1 CLEC will complete the Application, and return it, along with the appropriate Application Fee, to CenturyLink. The Application shall include complete details of the collocation and Interconnection requested, including, but not limited to, specific floor space, power, and environmental conditioning requirements. CenturyLink will not process an Application until both the Application and the applicable Application fee are received. 99.1.2 In the event CLEC desires to modify or decommission the use of the Collocation Space in a manner that requires additional engineering or preparation work by CenturyLink (an “Augment), CLEC will complete a subsequent Application detailing all information regarding the modification to the Collocation Space together with payment of the appropriate Application Augment Fee. Such modifications to the Premises may include but are not limited to, floor loading changes, changes necessary to meet HVAC requirements, changes to power plant requirements, and equipment additions. In addition to the Application Augment Fee, CLEC will pay all such charges billed by CenturyLink to recover the direct costs of work performed for CLEC’s benefit. 99.1.3 Where CLEC modifies the use of the Collocation Space or adds equipment that requires no additional engineering or preparation work on the part of CenturyLink, CenturyLink will not impose additional charges or additional intervals that would delay CLEC’s operation. CLEC will notify CenturyLink of the modifications or additional equipment prior to installation. 99.2 If CLEC wishes CenturyLink to consider multiple methods for collocation on a single Application, CLEC will need to include in each Application a prioritized list of its preferred methods of collocating (e.g., caged, shared, or other), as well as adequate information, (e.g., specific layout requirements, cage size, number of bays, requirements relative to adjacent bays, etc.) for CenturyLink to process the Application for each of the preferred methods. If CLEC provides adequate information and its preferences with its Application, CenturyLink may not require an additional Application, nor would CLEC be required to restart the quotation interval should its first choice not be available in a requested Premises. Only one collocation arrangement will be provisioned per Application. CenturyLink will not select for CLEC the type of collocation to be ordered. 99.3 Within ten (10) Days after receiving CLEC’s Application for collocation, CenturyLink will inform CLEC whether the Application meets each of CenturyLink's established collocation standards. Should CLEC submit a revised Application curing any deficiencies in an Application for collocation within ten Days after being informed of them, CLEC shall retain its original position within any collocation queue that CenturyLink maintains. If CenturyLink informs CLEC that there is a deficiency in an Application, CenturyLink will provide sufficient detail so that CLEC has a reasonable opportunity to cure each deficiency. 99.4 All revisions to an initial request for a Physical Collocation Arrangement submitted by CLEC must be in writing. A new interval for the Physical Collocation Arrangement will be established which shall not exceed two months beyond the originally established date. CLEC will be required to pay any applicable Application fees. 99.5 CenturyLink shall provide confirmation of space availability within ten (10) Days of receipt of a complete and accurate Application and applicable Application fee for one (1) to five (5) Applications submitted. Space availability response will be increased by five (5) Days for every five (5) additional Applications received. 99.5.1 CenturyLink will notify CLEC in writing as to whether its request for Collocation Space has been granted or denied due to lack of space. The notification will also include a possible future space relief date, if applicable. 99.5.2 In order to increase the amount of space available for collocation, CenturyLink will, upon request, remove obsolete unused equipment, from its Premises to increase the amount of space available for collocation. 99.6 After notifying CLEC that CenturyLink has no available space for Physical Collocation in the requested Central Office (Denial of Application), CenturyLink will allow CLEC, upon request, to tour the entire Central Office within ten (10) Days, or other mutually agreeable timeframe, of such Denial of Application. In order to schedule said tour the request for a tour of the Central Office must be received by CenturyLink within five (5) Days of the Denial of Application. 99.6.1 If CLEC contests CenturyLink’s notice that there is not sufficient space for Physical Collocation in the Central Office, the matter will be handled pursuant to the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement, and the parties agree to request expedited resolution of the dispute if the dispute is ultimately submitted to the State Commission for determination as to whether or not CenturyLink meets the demonstration requirement of §251(c)(6) of the Act. If the Commission determines that space is not available, CenturyLink will not be required to conduct a review of floor space availability in the same central office more frequently than once every six (6) months. 99.6.2 On a first come, first serve basis, CenturyLink will maintain a waiting list of requesting carriers who have either (i) received a Denial of Application for lack of space, or (ii) have submitted a Letter of Intent to collocate where it is publicly known that the Premises is out of space. CenturyLink will place CLEC on the waiting list for collocation in a particular Premises according to the date CLEC submitted its complete Application, together with the applicable fee, and not the date of denial for lack of space. 99.6.3 CenturyLink will simultaneously notify the Telecommunications Carriers on the waiting list when space becomes available if there is enough space to accommodate additional collocation. Subsequent to the granting of a Petition for Waiver, if CLEC has been denied Physical Collocation space at a CenturyLink Premises and challenges CenturyLink on space availability at said Premises, CLEC will be given priority for space assignment if, as a result of the challenge, space is found to be available. CLEC will reaffirm its collocation request within thirty (30) Days of such notification; otherwise, it will be dropped to the bottom of the list. Upon request, CenturyLink will advise CLEC as to its position on the list. 99.6.4 If CLEC’s Application for Physical Collocation is denied due to lack of space, CenturyLink will place CLEC on the waiting list for collocation in particular Premises according to the date CLEC submitted its complete Application together with the applicable fee, and not the date of denial for lack of space. 99.7 CenturyLink will provide a price quote within thirty (30) Days of receipt of a complete and accurate single Application and applicable Application fee. The price quote response period will be increased by one Day for every additional Application received from CLEC on that same Day. 99.8 CLEC has thirty (30) Days from receipt of the quotation to accept the quotation in writing. The quotation expires after thirty (30) Days. After thirty (30) Days, a new Application and Application fee are required. Collocation Space is not reserved until the quotation is accepted. CenturyLink need not meet the deadlines for provisioning Physical Collocation if, after receipt of any price quotation provided by CenturyLink, CLEC does not notify CenturyLink that Physical Collocation should proceed. 99.9 CLEC will indicate its intent to proceed with equipment installation in a CenturyLink Premises by accepting the price quote, which constitutes a Bona Fide Firm Order (BFFO). If CLEC makes changes to its Application in light of CenturyLink’s written Application Response, CenturyLink may be required to re- evaluate and respond to the change(s). In this event, CLEC’s Application will be treated as a revision under Section 99.4. 99.10 Space preparation for the Collocation Space will not begin until CenturyLink receives the BFFO and all applicable fees, including all non-recurring charges required by CenturyLink at the time of the BFFO. 99.11 All price quotes accepted by CLEC along with the associated Applications will become binding attachments to this Agreement and will control the respective billing, payment, use, and provisioning obligations of the Parties.
