(Applicable to the preceding Contracts.)

Samples of the various articles to be supplied will have to be submitted for inspection if required.

The Contractors for supplies will be required to deliver the same from time to time at such places, and in such quantities, as may be indicated by the Superintendent.

The contractors for the performance of any work or service will be required to perform the same, as it may be ordered for the Provincial Government by some officer authorised by the Superintendent in that behalf.

The Government does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any of the tenders sent in.

Any of the contracts may be annulled upon the expiration of one calendar month’s notice, in writing, of an intention to discontinue the same, to be given by the contractor on the one part, or by the Superintendent, or by some person authorised 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 “Tenders 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 Government. If the Board shall decide that the articles 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 quality inferior to the approved sample, and to purchase others at the expense of the Contractor.
