4.7.1
Works Completion Notice
1. As soon as practicable but within 10 Working Days of the completion of all Work for which a WAP has been issued, the Utility Operator must lodge a Works Completion Notice with the Corridor Manager (refer template in Schedule A9). The Works Completion Notice must include the following, unless otherwise agreed by the Corridor Manager:
a) any amendments to information supplied on the original CAR, as necessary to describe
accurately the location and extent of the work;
b) quality assurance records or certification;
c) a written statement confirming that the completed Works fully comply with the conditions
imposed by the WAP, signed by a person authorised to bind the Utility Operator; and
d) details of any outstanding Work that the Utility Operator has agreed to complete, for example,
permanent surfacing or road marking.
Parties are encouraged to undertake joint inspections as soon as Works have been completed or are close to completion, depending on the nature of the Works. This will expedite the approval process for all Parties and enable the early disclosure of any issues with the quality of the Road Corridor or the standard of re-instatement.
2. The Corridor Manager must as soon as practicable, but within ten Working Days (or as soon as practically possible for Railway Corridors):
a) sign and return the Works Completion Notice;
b) request further information if the notice as lodged is not adequate; or
c) advise the Utility Operator that it intends to carry out an inspection of the Works.
3. If the Corridor Manager intends to carry out an inspection of the Works, the Corridor Manager must: a) notify the Utility Operator and agree an appropriate time for the inspection;
b) carry out the inspection jointly if the Utility Operator requires; and
c) carry out the inspection as soon as practicable, but no later than ten Working Days after receipt of the Works Completion Notice.
4. Within ten Working Days of completing the inspection the Corridor Manager must advice the Utility Operator if:
a) there are any issues with the quality of the Road Corridor and the standard of reinstatement; and
b) there are any additional actions required to ensure the completed Works are of the required standard and comply with the WAP.
5. The Utility Operator must promptly complete any Work required at its own cost and advise the Corridor Manager by sending out a new Works Completion Notice.
6. The Corridor Manager must then complete any additional inspections as soon as practicable (but no later than ten Working Days after receipt of the new Works Completion Notice) and advise the Utility Operator if the Works are accepted as complete or if further actions are required. A new Permit to Enter is required for all Works in Railway Corridors, including inspections and maintenance.
4.7.2
Warranty Period
This Section 4.7.2 applies only to Works in Roads, Motorways and railways other than KiwiRail. 1. The Utility Operator must:
a) warrant all Works completed under this Code for a period of two years after the date that the Corridor Manager signs the Works Completion Notice (except where those Works have been impacted by subsequent Works by other third parties);
b) undertake any repair or maintenance Work required to those Works for that period within an agreed timeframe when notified in writing by the Corridor Manager; and
c) warrant substantial repairs for a further two years after the Utility Operator has completed the repair.
Where a Utility Operator has consistently demonstrated the delivery of quality outcomes in their Works in the Road Corridor, the Warranty Period may be shortened by agreement between the Utility Operator and the Corridor Manager.
2. If other Works are scheduled and agreed to be completed after that date (such as permanent surfacing), the Warranty period for that part of the Works starts from the date that part is completed.
3. A Warranty or the expiration of a Warranty does not restrict liability for other breaches of either the Code or of common law, which extends beyond the Warranty period.
4.7.3
Completion of Maintenance Notice
1. For Road Corridors, at the end of the two year Warranty Period and immediately after, the Utility Operator must:
a) complete a maintenance inspection (unless an audit sampling programme has been agreed with the Corridor Manager) and carry out any repair or maintenance Work required; and
b) submit a Completion of Maintenance Notice (refer Schedule A10).
2. The Road Corridor Manager must as soon as practicable, but within ten Working Days:
a) sign and return the Completion of Maintenance Notice;
b) request further information if the notice as lodged is not adequate; or
c) advise the Utility Operator that it intends to carry out an inspection of the Works.
3. If the Road Corridor Manager intends to carry out an inspection of the Works, then the same procedures and timeframes apply as for inspections for the Works Completion Notice (Sections 4.7.1.3 to 4.7.1.6).
4.7.4
Maintenance of Above-Ground Utility Structures
The Utility Operator must, for as long as the above-ground assets exist:a) maintain all above-ground Utility Structures, cabinets and Pedestals in good condition; and b) repair damage and vandalism within a reasonable timeframe.
