Analyze leased lines and verify all dial tone lines are working. If errors are found, the contractor will notify BCO, recommend corrective action, and negotiate with the appropriate LEC (or other service provider) for credit based upon the statue of limitations prescribed by the tariff. Contractor will provide remedial education to BCO personnel regarding the PA. tariffs as they apply to the telecommunications bills, and recommendations for improved operations. 1.2 Government Furnished Materials: The government will furnish copies of telecommunications invoices, copies of contracts and information regarding the telecommunications vendors (i.e. name, address, phone, POC etc.). 1.3 Services: The contractor will furnish tariff experts to perform the prescribed duties outlined in the Scope of Work. 2.0 Customer Points of Contact: Yvonne Whisenant, Director, BCO-MECH, 717-790-5152, Gale Kerkeslager, Telecommunications Technician, 790-3266.
