5.8.1.1 If any reciprocal trunk group is underutilized pursuant to section 5.8.1 above,
AT&T’s Local Interconnection Switching Center (“LISC”) project manager will
notify BHN regarding the number of trunks that AT&T wishes to disconnect.
AT&T’s project manager will call BHN’s designated interface, and provide the
supporting information either by email or facsimile to the designated BHN
interface. BHN shall provide concurrence with the disconnection in seven (7)
business days or will provide specific information supporting additional traffic
that it is to bring onto the trunk group. Such supporting information should
include expected traffic volumes (including traffic volumes generated due to
Local Number Portability) and the timeframes within which BHN expects to need
such trunks. AT&T’s LISC Project Manager and Circuit Capacity Manager will
discuss the new information with BHN to determine if agreement can be reached
on the number of trunks to be removed. Both Parties shall make good faith efforts
to reach agreement on the number of trunks to be disconnected up to and
including escalation to, and resolution by, the appropriate company Vice
President and/or Engineering Vice President within 30 days. By so agreeing to
this escalation process for excess trunk disconnection, neither Party forfeits its
right to pursue additional dispute resolution pursuant to the General Terms and
Conditions of this agreement.
5.8.2 To the extent that any interconnection trunk group is utilized at a time-consistent
busy hour of eighty percent (80%) or greater, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith for the installation of augmented facilities.
