Common use of Space Preparation Clause in Contracts

Space Preparation. Space preparation fees consist of a nonrecurring charge for firm order processing and monthly recurring charges for central office modifications assessed per arrangement, per square foot and common systems modifications assessed per arrangement, per square foot for cageless collocation and per cage for caged collocation. TelCove shall remit payment of the nonrecurring firm order processing fee coincident with submission of a BFFO. The charges recover the costs associated with preparing the Collocation Space, which includes survey, engineering of the Collocation Space, design and modification costs for network, building and support systems. In the event TelCove opts for cageless space, the space preparation fees will be assessed based on the total floor space dedicated to TelCove as prescribed in this Section. If TelCove was previously billed ICB or nonrecurring space preparation charges by BellSouth, but has not paid such charges in full, BellSouth will determine any outstanding amounts due from TelCove, and the Parties will agree on such outstanding amounts that are due and owing to BellSouth. If TelCove pays such outstanding amounts to BellSouth, no additional space preparation charges will be applicable or billed going forward for those collocation arrangements, for which space preparation charges have been paid in full through previously billed ICB or nonrecurring space preparation charges. However, any new requests for collocation space or augmentations requesting additional space for an existing collocation arrangement will be billed pursuant to the current monthly recurring space preparation rates set forth in Exhibit B.
