shall promptly notify the Contract Holder in writing that such is the case. For the avoidance of
doubt, any costs incurred by the Contractor in carrying out its duty to comply with such Rules or
Regulations, shall be deemed to be included in the Contract price and not represent an
additional requirement from Company.
The Contractor shall deliver to the Company, within fifteen (15) working days of the
Commencement Date and in any event before the first payment valuation, a performance
security in a form and from a first class local or international bank acceptable to the Company,
i.e. banks having a credit rating of at least an ‘A-’ or equivalent rating from either of Fitch,
Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Nigeria’s Agusto Rating Agencies. If at any time during the life
of the performance bond, the credit rating of the issuing bank falls below the above indicated
threshold, the Contractor shall promptly provide a replacement bond from another acceptable
bank that meets Company’s required credit rating, at no extra charge to Company.
The amount of the security shall be 10% of the Contract Sum. This value shall apply until Practical

shall be liable for payment of liquidated damages to the Company for this default. The
liquidated damages liable to be paid by the Contractor to the Company shall be
USD$15,000/day for every day that shall elapse between the relevant Time for Completion and
the date in which the Contractor attains Practical Completion which shall be stated in the
Certificate of Practical Completion issued by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the
liquidated damages are not a penalty but represent an agreed pre-estimate of loss that the
Contractor’s delay will cause the Company. The total liquidated damages payable by the
Contractor to the Company under this Clause shall not exceed a maximum amount of ten (10%)
percent of the Contract Sum and the payment of liquidated damages shall in no way excuse the
Contractor from the fulfilment of its contracted obligations or affect the Company’s other rights

payments specified for demobilization and site clearance shall not be due for payment until
demobilization has been completed, and until the Site and Company provided facilities
have been vacated by the Contractor, and the Site has been cleared to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Engineer.
16.14.8 Where the Contractor by agreement with the Engineer partially demobilizes whether
before or after Practical Completion, payment for demobilization and Site Clearance shall
be made pro rata and at such date as may be agreed with the Company. The balance of
any payments otherwise due to the Contractor for demobilization and Site clearance shall
be payable upon completion of demobilization, vacation and clearance of the Site and
Company provided facilities.
17.13 The Warranty Period for the Works, including for any and all equipment, fixtures and fittings
supplied under the Contract, shall commence after RFU/RFSU upon issue by Company of
the Certificate of Practical completion (or where Company takes over the Works prior to
Practical Completion, from the date of such take over) and shall continue for twelve (12)
calendar months.
17.14 If at any time during the Maintenance Period also called the Warranty Period, any defect in
the Works including but not limited to materials, equipment, systems, installations fittings,
workmanship, fitness for purpose, settlement, shrinkage, etc. becomes apparent, the
Contractor shall remedy or rectify the defect, or where it is incapable of being rectified or
remedied within the stipulated period of time, the Contractor shall supply and fit a
replacement.
17.15 At RFU/RFSU or takeover of the works, a service level agreement shall be agreed for the
warranty works. All maintenance as specified in the manufacturer’s manuals for the
equipment and the interval periods shall be part of the scope of the Contractor. Contractor
shall keep records and completed check lists of the maintenance carried out and hand these
over to Company.
17.16 Rectification shall be completed within a stipulated period from the date of the defect
becoming known and in such a manner as to minimize expense, disruption and
inconvenience to the Company and its operations. All costs that are incidental to the
rectification shall be borne by the Contractor.
17.17 Where Contractor fails to remedy such defects within the stipulated time frame, Company
reserves the right to remedy such defects and charge its incurred cost to the Contractor.
17.18 One (1) month before expiry of the defects rectification period, a final inspection of the works
shall be made jointly by the Company and the Contractor, and any new or outstanding
remedial items shall be promptly recorded on a final punch list.
17.19 Contractor shall within five (5) working days of the final inspection, submit a program and
schedule (not exceeding three (3) months) for the rectification of the works and close out of
the final punch list. Such program and schedule as well as proposed methods for
rectification shall be to the entire satisfaction of the Contract Holder.
17.20 Where Contractor fails to complete the rectification works within the scheduled time period,
Company reserves the right to execute such works and charge its incurred cost to the
Contractor.
17.21 Where Contractor fails to complete the rectification works within the scheduled time period
and where Company is not able to immediately rectify the defects, Company at its discretion
may choose to call on the Performance Bond for the amount which it estimates it may require
to rectify the defect at a later date. The cost of such works shall be as calculated within the
contract maintenance period.. The chargeable cost shall include but not limited to:
i) Indirect and direct labour costs including all taxes incident upon those costs,
ii) Incurred net delivery costs of materials,
iii) Incurred lower tier supplier and Sub-Contractor costs related to performing the
rectification,
iv) Equipment and tool rentals, and
v) A sum calculated as 25% of the foregoing items for the Company’s overheads,
supervision and administrative costs.
Company shall inspect the rectification works and sign off the final punch list, where the
works have been done to its satisfaction. On completion of the final punch list, the Contact
Holder shall issue a Certificate of Final Completion.
