I&R Contractor must provide technicians capable of installing the full scope of (Frontier) offerings to include telephone service (VOIP or Copper), and Internet services. Work could include any combination of services. The I&R Contractor may also be requested to provide repair and temporary services.

All billing units used for compensation are attached to this contract and shall be used. No other arrangements are to be made unless obtained in writing from (Frontier) .
Frontier's intent in defining these units is to drive compensation for Work on a unit basis, and not to compensate on an hourly basis.
Frontier will not compensate any contractor at a premium rate, as this contract is "unit driven". Any premium compensation must be paid by the I&R Contractor if required by law. I&R Contractors must have Frontier's approval before charging an hourly or per-diem rate.
All billing will be submitted via the (Frontier) billing system. I&R Contractor is responsible for hardware & software that are compatible with the (Frontier) billing system.

Regional Operations will provide necessary quality inspection documentation. It will be the I&R Contractor's responsibility to ensure completed quality inspections are in hand if needed by (Frontier) .
Quality related issues caused by the I&R Contractor during the installation or repair are expected to be corrected by the I&R Contractor at no charge to (Frontier).  Quality related issues are to be resolved within 36 hours of finding.
The I&R Contractor will be responsible for any damages they caused to a (Frontier) or (Frontier) Customer's premise, at I&R Contractor's expense, and resolve any complaints related to the Work performed. (Frontier) complaints must be responded to within 24 hours and resolved within 48 hours.
I&R Contractor related complaints will be given to the I&R Contractor first to resolve when possible.
