               Whenever there have been multiple, similar, unresolved service complaints made or
               when there exists other evidence, which, in the judgment of the county, casts doubt
               on the reliability or quality of the grantee's system, the county shall have the right
               and authority to compel the grantee to test, analyze, and report on the performance
               of its system. The county may require additional tests, full or partial repeat tests,
               different test procedures, or tests involving a specific subscriber's terminal. Reports
               on such tests shall be delivered to the county no later than 14 days after the county
               formally notifies the grantee and shall include the following information: the nature
               of the complaints which precipitated the special tests; what system component was
               tested; the equipment used, and procedures employed in said testing; the results of
               such tests; and methods by which said complaints were resolved. Said tests and analyses
               shall be supervised by a qualified engineer who shall sign all records of the special
               tests and forward same to the county with a report interpreting the results of the
               tests and recommending what actions should be taken by the grantee. All such tests
               shall be at the expense of the grantee.
