Chapter 4.70 BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS
Section 4.70.240 Performance monitoring.
1. Test procedures used in verification of the performance criteria
set forth in this chapter if
not as set forth in paragraph 76.609, subpart K of the FCC Rules and Regulations, shall be in
accordance with good engineering practice and shall be fully described in an attachment to the
annual certificate filed with the city.
2. To the extent that the report of measurements as required
above may be combined with any
reports of measurements required by the FCC or other regulatory agencies, the city shall accept
such combined reports; provided, that all standards and measurements in this chapter or hereafter
established by the city are satisfied.
3. Not later than ninety days after any new or substantially
rebuilt portion of the system is
made available for service to subscribers, technical performance tests shall be conducted by the
franchisee to demonstrate full compliance with the Technical Standards of the Federal
Communications Commission. Such tests shall be performed by, or under the supervision of,
qualified registered professional engineer or an engineer with proper training and experience. A
copy of the report shall be submitted to the city describing test results, instrumentation,
calibration and test procedures and the qualifications of the engineer responsible for the tests.
4. At any time after commencement of service to subscribers,
the city may require additional
tests, full or partial repeat tests, different test procedures, or tests involving a specific subscriber's
terminal. Requests for such additional tests will be made on the basis of complaints received or
other evidence indicating an unresolved controversy or significant noncompliance, and such tests
will be limited to the particular matter in controversy. The city will endeavor to so arrange its
requests for such special tests so as to minimize hardship or inconvenience to franchisee or to the
subscriber. (Ord. S-35454, 1978)
