Description Of Change

Available inventory refers to existing collocation sites and elements that have been returned to Qwest due to legal proceedings, abandonment, cancellation or decommission. Available Inventory gives CLECs the potential to assume these returned sites at a discounted rate, and gives the vacating CLEC an opportuntiy for a refund.

Reason for Change:

Due to recent market conditions, the number of vacated collocation sites has increased. This product offering is being developed to give CLECs the ability to purchase already existing collocation sites from other CLECs or Qwest and give vacating CLECs the potential to receive a percentage refund for those existing elements that are deemed reusable.

Qwest is presenting this product offering as a level 4 Qwest initiated Change in order to seek the input of the CLEC community in the final development of this offering. Proposed implementation date for this new product offering is August 1, 2002.

Terms and Conditions

Available sites will be listed on a web site called the "Collocation Classifieds", which will be released as part of this offering. Collocation sites available on this listing may be totally or partially completed before being returned to inventory. Both caged and cageless sites will be offered on the inventory list. Sites will be offered “AS IS, WHERE IS.” Additional elements may be ordered with the purchase of the available “AS IS WHERE IS” site, but CLECs can not reduce any elements until the Available Site order is complete. Refunds from any elements determined to be reusable under Qwest’s Collocation Decommissioning policy will be returned to the previous owner of the collocation space following a sale of such site from the "Collocation Classifieds". All services that were previously connected to the collocation (i.e. Unbundled Network Elements, CLEC to CLEC, administrative lines, finished services, line splitting and line sharing, etc.) will be disconnected before the site is listed on the "Collocation Classifieds".

Rate elements

Pricing for available sites on the "Collocation Classifieds" will be provided on a site-specific basis. Sites will be priced based on outstanding non-recurring charges from previous CLEC, amounts for reimbursable elements and transfer fees. These charges will be provided to a CLEC via a quote that requires their acceptance before work begins. Recurring charges for all elements will be charged at rates listed in the assuming CLECs interconnection Agreement and without a discount.

Ordering

CLECs wishing to purchase an existing site listed in the "Collo Classifieds" will do so by submitting a Qwest Collocation Application Form. Upon receipt of the complete application, Qwest will verify that the requested site is still available for acquisition and will return a feasibility study to CLEC within the timelines listed in the CLECs Interconnection Agreement (ICA).

08/21/02 August CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes

Qwest advised that they received no comments on the initial notification. They plan to issue the final notification 8/22/02, the process will become effective 9/6/02 and amendments will be available at that time. Qwest advised that they continue to receive returned sites through bankruptcy proceedings. These sites will have a Qwest initiated Decommissioning which takes between 60 – 90 days. Qwest wants to make these sites known as soon as possible; therefore, the Collo Classifieds will have two lists – Verified and Unverified. The CLECs would be able to order from the Unverified list, but Qwest can’t guarantee complete availability until decommissioning is complete and the site verified. The participants agreed with this change. It was agreed that the CR would move to CLEC Test on 9/6/02.
