Secure Access. A. A security escort will be required whenever Winstar or its approved agent desires access to the roof after the one accompanied site visit allowed pursuant to Section 1D prior to completing BellSouth’s Security Training requirements as specified below. Rates for a security escort are assessed in one-half (1/2) hour increments according to the schedule as set forth in Section 20.31G of the BellSouth Virtual Expanded Interconnection Tariff. B. The security and safety requirements set forth in this section are as stringent as the security requirements BellSouth maintains at its own premises either for their own employees or for authorized contractors. Only Winstar employees, BellSouth Certified Contractors and authorized employees, or authorized agents of Winstar will be permitted in the BellSouth Premises. Winstar shall provide its employees and agents with picture identification which must be worn and visible at all times while in areas in or around the Premises. The photo Identification card shall bear, at a minimum, the employee’s name and photo, and the Winstar name. BellSouth reserves the right to remove from its premises any employee of Winstar not possessing identification issued by Winstar or who have violated any of BellSouth’s policies as outlined in the CLEC Security Training documents. Winstar shall hold BellSouth harmless for any damages resulting from such removal of its personnel from BellSouth premises. Winstar shall be solely responsible for ensuring that any Guest of Winstar is in compliance with all subsections of this Section 4. C. Winstar will be required, at its own expense, to conduct a statewide investigation of criminal history records for each Winstar employee being considered for work on the BellSouth Premises, for the states/counties where the Winstar employee has worked and lived for the past five years. Where state law does not permit statewide collection or reporting, an investigation of the applicable counties is acceptable. D. Winstar will be required to administer to their personnel assigned to the BellSouth Premises security training either provided by BellSouth, or meeting criteria defined by BellSouth. E. Winstar shall not assign to the BellSouth Premises any personnel with records of felony criminal convictions. Winstar shall not assign to the BellSouth Premises any personnel with records of misdemeanor convictions, except for misdemeanor traffic violations, without advising BellSouth of the nature and gravity of the offense(s). BellSouth reserves the right to refuse building access to any Winstar personnel who have been identified to have misdemeanor criminal convictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the even that Winstar chooses not to advise BellSouth of the nature and gravity of any misdemeanor conviction, Winstar may, in the alternative, certify to BellSouth that it shall not assign to the BellSouth Premises any personnel with records of misdemeanor convictions (other than misdemeanor traffic violations). F. For each Winstar employee requiring access to a BellSouth Premises pursuant to this Agreement, Winstar shall furnish BellSouth, prior to an employee gaining such access, a certification that the aforementioned background check and security training were completed. The certification will contain a statement that no felony convictions were found and certifying that the security training was completed by the employee. If the employee’s criminal history includes misdemeanor Revised 4/00 13 convictions, Winstar will disclose the nature of the convictions to BellSouth at that time. In the alternative, Winstar may certify to BellSouth that it shall not assign to the BellSouth Premises any personnel with records of misdemeanor convictions other than misdemeanor traffic violations. G. At BellSouth’s request, Winstar shall promptly remove from the BellSouth’s Premises any employee of Winstar BellSouth does not wish to grant access to its premises 1) pursuant to any investigation conducted by BellSouth or 2) prior to the initiation of an investigation in the event that an employee of Winstar is found interfering with the property or personnel of BellSouth or another CLEC, provided that an investigation shall promptly be commenced by BellSouth.
