| Small change to Required Drafting | The first part of paragraph (a) from SoPCNI 2 is moved to paragraph (e) and the order of set-off against instalments of Unitary Charge is made explicit. | 23 Surveys on Termination (a) [18] months prior to the Expiry Date, [the Authority] shall be entitled to carry out a final survey of the assets to assess whether they have been and are being maintained by the Contractor in accordance with its obligations under Clause 11.1 (Maintenance). (b) [The Authority] shall notify the Contractor in writing a minimum of [7] days in advance of the date it wishes to carry out the final survey. [The Authority] shall consider in good faith any reasonable request by the Contractor for the final survey to be carried out on a different date if such request is made at least [2] days prior to the notified date and the Contractor (acting reasonably) is able to demonstrate that carrying out the final survey on notified date would materially prejudice the Contractor's ability to provide the Service. (c) When carrying out the final survey, [the Authority] shall use reasonable endeavours to minimise any disruption caused to the provision of the Service by the Contractor. The Contractor shall afford [the Authority] (free of charge) any reasonable assistance required by [the Authority] during the carrying out of the final survey. The cost of the final survey shall be borne by the Authority. (d) If the final survey shows that the Contractor has not complied with or is not complying with its obligations under Clause 11.1 (Maintenance), the Authority shall: (i) notify the Contractor of the rectification and/or maintenance work which is required to bring the condition of the assets to the standard they would have been in if the Contractor had complied or was complying with its obligations under Clause 11.1 (Maintenance); (ii) specify a reasonable period within which the Contractor must carry out such work; and (iii) recover the cost of the survey from the Contractor by means of [a withdrawal from the Retention Fund Account] [a deduction from the next Unitary Charge] [other means of reimbursement]. (e) If the Contractor has been notified under Clause 23(d)(i) that rectification and/or maintenance work is required, [twelve] months prior to the Expiry Date the Authority shall deduct the costs of that work as quantified by that survey from the next following instalment (or, if the amount of such instalment is insufficient, the next instalments as necessary) of Unitary Charge and pay such amount into an interest bearing account (the "Retention Fund Account"). |
