30.                    POTENTIAL HAZARD - RESPIRABLE DUST ON EQUIPMENT RETURNED FROM THEATRE

 

30.1.             Some equipment being returned from theatre to UK for servicing and maintenance maybe contaminated with dust potentially containing respirable crystalline silica.  Maintenance, servicing and refurbishment activities that disturb this dust carry with them the potential to expose those undertaking the task to airborne dust containing respirable crystalline silica.

 

30.2.             The Contractor shall ensure that exposure to hazardous substances must be adequately controlled and, for substances assigned a Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL), exposure does not exceed the WEL. Respirable crystalline silica has been assigned an 8 Hr Time Weighted Average (TWA) WEL of 0.1 mg/M3.

 

30.3.                        Processes that actively generate airborne dust, such as use of compressed air lines, should be avoided.  Cleaning techniques that minimise generation of airborne dust include wet or vacuum cleaning. If this is not reasonably practicable or does not reduce exposure sufficiently then use of enclosures and/or properly designed exhaust ventilation systems — supplemented by respiratory protective equipment — may be necessary. The provision of respiratory protective equipment on its own as a control measure is unlikely to be acceptable.

38.6.             No changes shall become effective until a contract amendment incorporating the change has been issued by the Authority and accepted unconditionally by the Contractor. All changes shall be recorded at Annex U to Contract.

 

39.                    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

 

39.1.             It is recognised by the parties that in the event that any of the Articles, which the Contractor is required under this Contract to supply to the Authority, being not delivered at the time required the Authority will suffer loss and damage thereby.

 

39.2.             Accordingly, if any of the Articles are not delivered within the time or times specified in the Contract, the Contractor shall be liable to pay to the Authority as liquidated damages (which the Parties agree represents a genuine pre-estimate of the Authority’s losses in the circumstances covered by this Condition) for delay in relation to the delivery of:

 

(a)          WOLFHOUND vehicles to TES (SOR Items 2a, 2b and 2c) to include CES (SOR Item 6) per vehicle by the delivery dates to DSDC Ashchurch detailed in the delivery schedule at Annex B to Contract, the sum of £[***] per vehicle (including CES) for each business day or part thereof of such delay.

 

(b)         The following support articles:

(i)                                   Interim Technical Publications (part of SOR Item 4);

(ii)                                Support & Test Equipment (SOR Item 7);

(iii)                             Train the Trainer (Operator) course for WOLFHOUND (SOR Item 11) to include re-usable training package (SOR Item 12)

(iv)                            Train the Trainer (Maintainer) course for WOLFHOUND (SOR Item 13) to include re-usable training package (SOR Item 14)

By the delivery dates detailed in the Delivery Schedule at Annex B to Contract, the sum of £[***] per Article (for the purpose of this Condition 39.2(b), each sub-paragraph (i) to (iv) above, represents an Article) for each business day or part thereof of such delay.

 

39.3                The total amount payable by the Contractor pursuant to Condition 39.2 above shall not exceed £[***] over the term of this Contract.

 

39.4.             Damages shall be payable hereunder in respect of any period during which the contract subsists, notwithstanding its ultimate determination under Contract Condition 37. Subject to the Authority’s rights under Condition 37.1.2.6 following Contractor Default as defined in Condition 37.1.1(iv), the payment of liquidated damages in accordance with this Condition 39 represents the Authority’s sole remedy for delay.

 

39.5.             No payment or concession to the Contractor by the Authority or other act or omission of the Authority shall in any way affect the rights of the Authority to recover the said liquidated damages or be deemed to be a waiver of the right of the Authority to recover any such damages unless a waiver has been expressly stated in writing by the Authority

 

40.                    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

 

40.1.             The parties shall comply with the provisions of this Condition 40 and Annex E to Contract.

 

40.2.                        For the avoidance of doubt, Conditions 22 and 41 apply to the performance by the Contractor of its obligations under Annex E and the Contractor shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations
