Interpretation and terminology. For the purpose of interpreting this Service Information the following terminology shall apply: The term ‘service’, like all italicised terms used in the NEC3 Term Service Contract (June 2005), is identified in the Contract Data and is the title given to the overall scope of service in this contract. For this contract service is identified as the Kusile power station sootbloower maintenance service. Activities to be undertaken by the Contractor in performing the service are generally referred to as ‘items of work’. For this contract, secondary Option X19 of the NEC3 Term Service Contract (June 2005) has been selected which allows for work to be instructed by Task Order. A Task is defined as work within the service which the Service Manager may instruct the Contractor to carry out through Site Service Managers within a stated period of time. Tasks are identified at each power station for example, within outages, regular site maintenance, and other ad hoc work or project. Each Task Order will contain a priced list of items of work within the Task. Where the word ‘service’ is not italicised, it shall be given its common meaning. The terms ‘site’ or ‘power station site’ used in this Service Information means the area used by the Employer for the purpose of owning and operating the power stations. It must not be confused with the term Site used in other NEC contracts. The Affected Property identified in the Contract Data for this contract is an area or facility within these sites but it is not the whole of the site.
