(A) Upon request by the city not to exceed once per year, grantee shall perform at its sole cost and expense all tests necessary or reasonable to verify its compliance with all applicable technical standards. Such tests shall commence within 30 days after the city makes any such request and shall conclude within a reasonable time thereafter. Grantee shall provide the city a copy of its test results within 30 days after the tests are complete. The city shall have the right to witness any such testing if it so desires.
(B) If at any time the city receives a substantial number of compliance or other evidence which indicates that grantee may not be in compliance with applicable technical standards, the city may order grantee to perform additional tests to verify compliance with such standards. The cost of any such tests, and any necessary retests, shall be borne entirely by grantee.
(C) Grantee shall at all times permit reasonable access to the cable system to permit the city or its consultants to conduct their own tests. In the event that grantee is determined by such tests to be non-compliant with applicable technical standards, grantee shall pay the full cost of such tests. Otherwise, such costs shall be paid by the city.
