67 There are no deductions during periods when planned preventative maintenance is taking place in accordance with the agreed Schedule of Programmed Maintenance – see Clause 0. Boards must ensure that risk in relation to maintenance and replacement lies with Project Co and will need to:
∙ develop their output specifications (in sufficient detail) and Payment Mechanism
∙ consider the grounds for objection in paragraph 3 (h) of the Review Procedure
in the light of this requirement (and the Board's output requirements). Although Part 24 of the Schedule (Handback Procedure) deals with the handback of the asset on expiry, the Board may wish to reserve the right to carry out periodic surveys to ensure that regular maintenance is in fact carried out. The Board should not get involved in the micromanagement of planned maintenance but should have the ability to ensure that any significant deterioration in the facility is avoided. Alternatively, this may already be achieved via the deductions in the Payment Mechanism.
