Notification by Authority

7.3  Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of all relevant information in accordance with paragraph 7.2, the Authority shall notify the Service Provider in writing:

(a)  which Existing Attachments are to be re-sited, indicating in sufficient details on a mark up of the plan provided by the Service Provider, where each Existing Attachment is to be re-sited on the New Apparatus;

(b)  whether any new Attachment is to be attached to the New Apparatus, indicating in sufficient detail on the mark up of the plan provided by the Service Provider, where each new Attachment is to be attached;

(c)  which Existing Attachments are either no longer required or are unauthorised;

(d)  which Existing Attachments must remain in situ, and whether the Service Provider shall install a new straight post on which to attach such Existing Attachments because the Existing Apparatus cannot be reattached to the existing Apparatus.

The Service Provider is not obliged to comply with any instruction of the Authority which puts the Service Provider in breach of this Contract or Legislation.  The Service Provider shall provide to the Authority evidence of why it believes such instruction would put it in breach and, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such information the Authority shall either issue further instructions or refer the matter to the Dispute Resolution Procedure.

7.4  The Service Provider shall:

(a)  re-site and/or attach each Existing Attachment or new Attachment in the position shown by the Authority's mark-up of the plan provided pursuant to paragraphs 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) (as the case may be) at the time of carrying out the Service.  Provided that, in the case of new Attachments, the Authority has supplied the new Attachments to the Service Provider two (2) Business Days before the relevant Scheduled Installation Date (as notified to the Authority in accordance with paragraph 7.2(b));

(b)  remove and dispose of any Existing Attachments notified by the Authority pursuant to paragraph 7.3(c) at the time of carrying out the relevant Removal;

(c)  install a new straight post (at the Service Provider's expense) and attach the Existing Attachments to it as instructed by the Authority pursuant to paragraph 7.3(d).

For avoidance of doubt if a straight post is installed by the Service Provider pursuant to paragraph 7.4(c) then the Authority shall be responsible for maintaining and replacing such post from the date a Certificate of Compliance is issued in respect of such post.
