Payment for any of the above supplies, works, or services will be made monthly, after the bills have been rendered in a complete state by the Contractor, and passed.

Tenders to be sealed and endorsed “Tender for (name of article or service).”

In the event of a difference of opinion between the Contractor and the Officer receiving the supplies, the same is to be decided, in cases where the article is not of a perishable nature, by a Board of Survey composed of persons named by the Superintendent. If the Board shall decide that the article is not of a proper quality, it must be immediately replaced by the Contractor, failing which it will be procured by the department requiring it, and the expense charged to the Contractor.

In cases where the article is of a perishable nature, or in which, from some other cause, injury would be sustained by waiting for a Board of Survey, the head of the department, or officer in charge, for whom the supplies are to be received, shall have power to reject any article of an inferior quality, and to purchase others at the expense of the Contractor.

In the event of the Contractor for the performance of any work or service being dissatisfied with the decision of the officer in condemning the same, the Superintendent will, upon the written request of the Contractor made immediately after such decision, and the Superintendent may also, at any time, without such request, summon a Board of Survey to examine any work; and if such Board of Survey shall declare any such work to be inferior in quality to the work contracted for, or otherwise improperly done, the Contractor, upon notice thereof, shall immediately replace such work by other, satisfactory to the Board of Survey; and in default thereof, the Superintendent, or some other officer authorized by him in that behalf, is hereby authorized to procure such work to be replaced in any manner he may think fit, and the Contractor shall bear and pay to the Provincial Government all costs, charges, and expenses attendant thereon, as well as any excess of price for the same, together with a sum of money, by way of penalty, equal to one-fourth of such costs, charges, and expenses, and excess of price, all which are hereby made chargeable on any sum which may be due from the Provincial Government to the Contractor.

The tenders (forms of which may be obtained at this office) to contain the names and places of residence, at length, of the persons tendering, and to be signed by two respectable sureties, engaging to become bound in a penalty of £100 for the fulfillment of the contract if the tender be accepted, and no tenders will be received unless upon such forms.

All contract bonds must be signed by the Contractor and his sureties before the date of entering upon the contracts.

No tender can be withdrawn, or altered.

Any person tendering and failing to execute the usual bond, when required, will render himself ineligible to tender for any work, service, or supply, required by the Provincial Government in future.

No person whatever holding any situation of profit or emolument under Her Majesty’s Government of New Zealand, or under the Government of this Province, shall be a party, directly or indirectly, to any contract.
