I propose to take Questions Nos. 336 and 337 together.
Under the terms of the contract, the Contractor has a period of 12 months after the date of substantial completion to rectify any snags or defects that are identified (i.e. Defects Liability Period). If at the end of the 12 month period all snags or defects have not been rectified, then the Contract offers other remedies to have matters resolved.
My Department’s Employer Representatives engage with the relevant Contractor to ensure that any snags or defects are remedied before the end of the Defects Liability Period.
