CIRCULARS
PROCEDURE OF CALCULATION FOR AVAILABILITY
For the availability of the telecommunications services of the AWARDED PROJECT and in cases in which the interruption of the service is due to lack of electric power, the following may be taken into consideration:
Localities with conventional electric power:
In this case, THE CONTRACTOR must try to have an independent meter in order that the operation of the equipment does not depend on the action of third parties.
In such event, if there is a power cut, after the end of the autonomy of the electric backup system indicated in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, the interruption will not be counted until the replacement of the conventional electric power.
To prove a power outage, it will be enough to present an alarm report of the management and monitoring system of the implemented network. In case the management and monitoring system does not allow to distinguish types of alarms, THE CONTRACTOR must present proofs of accreditation signed by the electric power concessionaire or some authority, personnel of the educational center, health or police, provided they are from the locality, indicating the time and date of beginning and end of the cut.
In the cases in which the power cuts are constant and in short time intervals, which do not allow the full load of the electric backup system, decreasing the autonomy time of the system, the time of the interruption will not be considered from the cut of service, as long as it is determined that the origin is due to power cut.
In those cases in which electric power is provided by a resident, municipality, or any third party other than the energy concessionaire, THE CONTRACTOR assumes the responsibility for the power cut for causes other than those indicated above.
Localities without conventional electric power:
THE CONTRACTOR according to the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS will propose in its TECHNICAL PROPOSAL the design of the energy system that allows to guarantee the availability of the services according to what is required by the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
In cases of a service cut within the autonomy time of the electrical system, the interruption will be counted within the period of availability of the services.
To prove a cut in the energy system implemented by THE CONTRACTOR, not attributable to the latter, proof of accreditation must be presented signed by the MANDATORY SUBSCRIBED INSTITUTION or some authority of the locality, personnel of the educational, health or police center indicating the time and date of beginning and end of the cut.
In some cases in which the power outages are constant and in short time intervals, which do not allow the complete charging of the electrical system, decreasing the autonomy time of the system, the time of the interruption will not be considered from the cut of service, as long as it is determined that the origin is due to an inadequate charge of the batteries.
In the cases in which the interruption of the service is due to weather factors, the following points will be taken into account:
If the power cut is due to the solar incidence in the transmission equipment, the interruption will not be counted as long as the occurrence of this event is accredited with the presentation of a report or document from a specialized public or private organization (previously approved by the FITEL), indicating the anomaly of the solar radiation and the effects that this produces.
If the cut is due to the absence of sunlight that does not allow the charging of the batteries through solar panels, the interruption will not be counted whenever a document from a specialized agency or the sworn statement of a local or district authority is presented, testifying of the absence of sunlight.
Schedule of availability of Services.
Within the hours in which the TECHNICAL PROPOSAL has not considered available the equipment, no interruption will be counted.
To determine the total interruption time, all service cuts greater than one third of the calculated availability for each day will be added.
Dentro del horario en los cuales la PROPUESTA TÉCNICA no la haya considerado disponible los equipos no se contabilizarán ninguna interrupción.
Para determinar el tiempo de interrupción total, se sumarán todos los cortes de servicio superiores a un tercio de la disponibilidad calculada para cada día.
