Two-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.4.1 Where the Parties have agreed to use Two Way Local Interconnection Trunks, prior to ordering any Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks from Verizon, Teleconex shall meet with Verizon to conduct a joint planning meeting (“Joint Planning Meeting”). At that Joint Planning Meeting, each Party shall provide to the other Party originating CCS (Hundred Call Second) information, and the Parties shall mutually agree on the appropriate initial number of Two-Way End Office and Tandem Local Interconnection Trunks and the interface specifications at the Point of Interconnection (POI). 2.4.2 Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks shall be from a Verizon End Office or Tandem to a mutually agreed upon POI. Where the Teleconex is collocated in a Verizon Wire Center, the POI shall be at the Verizon Wire Center. 2.4.3 On a semi-annual basis, Teleconex shall submit a good faith forecast to Verizon of the number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks that Teleconex anticipates that Verizon will need to provide during the ensuing two (2) year period. Teleconex’s trunk forecasts shall conform to the Verizon CLEC trunk forecasting guidelines as in effect at that time. 2.4.4 The Parties shall meet (telephonically or in person) from time to time, as needed, to review data on End Office and Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks to determine the need for new trunk groups and to plan any necessary changes in the number of Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.5 Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks shall have SS7 Common Channel Signaling. The Parties agree to utilize B8ZS and Extended Super Frame (ESF) DS1 facilities, where available. 2.4.6 With respect to End Office Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks, both Parties shall use an economic CCS equal to five (5). 2.4.7 Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Verizon access Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ B.005 during the average time consistent busy hour; Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Verizon local Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ B.01 during the average time consistent busy hour. Verizon and Teleconex shall engineer Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks using national standards. 2.4.8 Teleconex shall determine and order the number of Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks that are required to meet the applicable design blocking objective for all traffic carried on each Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group. Teleconex shall order Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks by submitting ASRs to Verizon setting forth the number of Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks to be installed and the requested installation dates within Verizon’s effective standard intervals or negotiated intervals, as appropriate. Teleconex shall complete ASRs in accordance with Ordering and Billing Forum Guidelines as in effect from time to time. 2.4.9 Verizon may monitor Two-Way Local Interconnection Groups using service results for the applicable design-blocking objective. If Verizon observes blocking in excess of the applicable design objective on any final Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group and Teleconex has not notified Verizon that it has corrected such blocking, Verizon may submit to Teleconex a Trunk Group Service Request directing Teleconex to remedy the blocking. Upon receipt of a Trunk Group Service Request, Teleconex will complete an ASR to augment the Two-Way Local Interconnection Group with excessive blocking and submit the ASR to Verizon within five (5) Business Days. 2.4.10 Any Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group between the Teleconex’s POI and a Verizon Tandem will be limited to a maximum of 240 trunks unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. In the event that any Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group exceeds the 240 trunk level at any time, Teleconex shall promptly submit an ASR to Verizon to establish new or additional End Office Trunk groups to insure that such Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group does not exceed the 240 trunk level. 2.4.11 Upon request, Teleconex will submit a written report to Verizon each month setting forth trunk utilization information and percentages. Teleconex will calculate utilization percentages by using a traffic data analyzation system specified by Verizon, industry standard study periods and a time consistent busy hour. 2.4.12 The Parties will review all Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of seventy percent (70%), or greater, to determine whether those groups should be augmented. Teleconex will promptly augment all Tandem Two-Way Local 2.4.13 The performance standard on final Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks shall be that no such Local Interconnection Trunk group will exceed its design blocking objective (B.005 or B.01, as applicable) for three (3) consecutive calendar traffic study months. 2.4.14 Because Verizon will not be in control of the timing and sizing of the Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks between its network and Teleconex’s network, Verizon’s performance on these Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk groups shall not be subject to any performance measurements and remedies under this Agreement, and, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, under any FCC or Commission approved carrier-to-carrier performance assurance guidelines or plan. 2.4.15 Upon three (3) months prior written notice and with the mutual agreement of the Parties, either Party may withdraw its traffic from a Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk group and install One-Way Local Interconnection Trunks to the applicable POI. 2.4.16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks shall only carry Local Traffic, IntraLATA Toll Traffic and Internet Traffic. 2.4.17 Teleconex will route its traffic to Verizon over the End Office and Tandem Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-TAP192, including but not limited to those standards requiring that a call from Teleconex to a Verizon End Office will first be routed to the End Office Local Interconnection Trunk group between Teleconex and the Verizon End Office. 2.4.18 When the Parties implement Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks, the Parties will work cooperatively to calculate a Proportionate Percentage of Use or “PPU” factor, based on the total number of minutes of Traffic that each Party originates over the Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks. Teleconex will pay a percentage of Verizon’s monthly recurring charges for the facility on which the Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunks ride equal to Teleconex’s percentage of use of the facility as shown by the PPU. The PPU shall not be applied to calculate the charges for any portion of a facility that is on Teleconex’s side of Teleconex’s-IP, which charges shall be solely the financial responsibility of Teleconex. Non-recurring charges for the facility on which the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks ride shall be apportioned as follows: (a) for the portion of the Trunks on Verizon’s side of the Teleconex-IP, the non-recurring charges shall be divided equally Two-Way Local Interconnection Trunk groups until Teleconex establishes such IPs.
