               which, in the reasonable 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 30 days after the county formally requests
               the tests 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 an engineer or other trained technical specialist 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 county. All such
               tests conducted by grantee shall be at the expense of the grantee.
