CONDITIONS.

(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 by
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
“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 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
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
officer authorised by him in that behalf, is
hereby authorised 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
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 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.

FREDK. WHITAKER,
Superintendent.
