one part, or by the Superintendent, or by some
person authorized by him, on behalf of the
Provincial Government, on the other part.

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 re-
ceiving 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 Government. 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 a quality inferior to the approved
sample, and to purchase others at the expense
of the Contractor.

In the event of the Contractor for the per-
formance of any work or service being dis-
satisfied 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 works to be in-
ferior 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 Superin-
tendent, or some 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 of 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 ob-
tained 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 fulfilment 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 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.

Superintendent.
