At the grantor’s sole option, the grantee shall upon a request by the grantor, submit to the grantor an annual plant/system survey report which shall be a complete survey of a grantee’s distribution system including a full report thereon. Said report shall include, but not be limited to, those matters that in the judgment of the grantor are necessary for the full regulation of such system. Said report may include: a description and as-built maps of the portions of the franchise area that have been connected to, or have telecommunications services available, and appropriate engineering evaluation including suitable electronic measurements conducted in conformity with such requirements, including supervision, as the grantor may prescribe. Said report shall be in sufficient detail to enable the grantor to ascertain that the service requirements and technical standards of the FCC and/or a franchise are achieved and maintained. As may be required in a franchise awarded hereunder, and at the grantor’s request, but no more often than once per three years, a grantee and the grantor may agree upon the appointment of a qualified independent engineer to evaluate and verify the technical performance of a system built and operated under provisions of this chapter. The cost of such evaluation shall be borne equally by a grantee and the grantor.
