The successful contractor or contractors will provide a schedule for the work to be undertaken. It is expected that work should commence by the beginning of February 2002 and be completed before the end of June 2002. The schedule will detail the length of time required to complete each component on each railcar and be based on no more than two railcars being provided at any one time.
The successful contractor or contractors are required to nominate the work site where they expect the work will be carried out. If at the Adelaide Maintenance Centre the contractor will have to negotiate with Goninan for a suitable location to do the work and for the use of any facilities or utilities required. If not at the Adelaide Maintenance Centre contractors are reminded that they will require a facility with Broad Gauge rail access to the Adelaide metropolitan broad gauge rail network.
As mentioned above in clause 6 no more than 2 railcars will be provided at any one time for the work and release of the railcar will require negotiation with Goninan at the Adelaide Maintenance Centre. Due to the limited availability of railcars it may be necessary for the contractor to share the railcar with other contractors undertaking other work or modifications at the same time. This will be negotiated with the successful contractor or contractors at the time on a railcar by railcar basis.
