Tie Breaker The parties agree to utilize the following procedure if two or more members of the bargaining unit hold the same position within the same department and have the identical seniority dates:
1. If two or more bargaining unit members have the same amount of time in a particular classification, the first tiebreaker is the date of continuous University service. Continuous service is that service unbroken by a resignation or termination from the University.
2. In the event that a tie is not broken by the foregoing procedure, the second tiebreaker shall be the uninterrupted service of an employee with a state agency, a county office, or a state-supported college or university where no break in service occurs.
3. In the event a tie is not broken by either of the foregoing procedures, we will use the last four (4) digits of the Social Security Number, in ascending order with the lowest number prevailing (i.e. 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004 – 0001 Prevails).
Breaker Breaker failure protection for the 115kV breaker will trip the appropriate adjacent breakers and send direct transfer trip to Connecting Transmission Owner’s Mohican and Schaghticoke Substations. For loss of SF6, the breaker must trip and block close. DTT receive from Schaghticoke and Mohican Substations will be required to trip the Interconnection Customer’s 115kV breaker for a line relay operation or breaker failure at Schaghticoke and Mohican Substations.
Network Interconnection Architecture Each Party will plan, design, construct and maintain the facilities within their respective systems as are necessary and proper for the provision of traffic covered by this Agreement. These facilities include but are not limited to, a sufficient number of trunks to the point of interconnection with the tandem company, and sufficient interoffice and interexchange facilities and trunks between its own central offices to adequately handle traffic between all central offices within the service areas at a P.01 grade of service or better. The provisioning and engineering of such services and facilities will comply with generally accepted industry methods and practices, and will observe the rules and regulations of the lawfully established tariffs applicable to the services provided.
Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Freedom has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Freedom. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Freedom (e.g. hairpinning):
1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises.
2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated.
3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch.
4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch).
2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases.
2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Freedom, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Freedom will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
