(A) At such time as grantee has accomplished all construction, upgrading and adjustments contemplated by this chapter, grantee shall so notify the city. Upon receipt of such notice the city shall have 90 days to receive a written report from an independent engineer, provided, however, if the city fails to receive such a written report within the 90 days the system construction shall be deemed completed. In the event an independent engineer is retained by city, system construction shall be deemed completed on the date on which the independent engineer reports positive confirmation of the following:
(1) Verification of headend equipment and system extension equipment as required herein.
(2) Satisfactory test results using the technical standards set forth herein at up to 12 widely separated subscriber locations selected by the independent engineer and using the following tests:
(a) Signal level.
(b) Hum.
(c) Bandpass response of system.
(d) Carrier to noise of system.
(e) Picture disparities at subscriber location and headend.
(f) TASO picture quality.
(3) Verification that the emergency alert system is working to the reasonable satisfaction of the city; and
(4) Compliance with all applicable codes and standards.
(B) A grantee designated engineer may accompany the independent engineer in the inspection and evaluation. In the event that any of the tests are not immediately satisfactory, the independent engineer shall orally and at the same time so inform the grantee engineer and the grantee engineer shall have 24 hours in which to correct the deficiency. If the deficiency is corrected within 24 hours, the subscriber location in question shall be promptly retested. Such new test results corrected within 24 hours, the subscriber location in question shall be promptly retested. Such new test results with respect to such subscriber location shall be reflected in the report of the independent engineer.
(C) The cost of the independent engineer and subsequent testing shall be borne equally by grantee and city, provided, however, that if subsequent testing is necessary beyond the retesting described above, grantee shall be responsible for the cost of that subsequent testing.
