3.1.3.2  Minor Works

Where a Minor Works regime is contemplated (refer to section 2.37), the availability fee will include a sub-component for Minor Works during the Operational Phase. Minor Works are typically limited in their scope and cost, but can arise frequently so there is value from ease of administering them. The State's approach, as set out in the SIPD, is to include a provisional sum for Minor Works for each Operating Year (the Minor Works Limit). The Minor Works Limit is progressively paid to Project Co each Operating Year as part of the Service Payment. 

At the end of each Operating Year, where the Minor Works Limit for an Operating Year has not been fully expended on Minor Works during that Operating Year, the State can either roll the balance into the Minor Works Limit for the subsequent Operating Year, or claim reimbursement of the balance from Project Co.
