AND ORDER PLACING
As
identified in Clause 5 of this “Schedule B – Statement of Work,” the Utilities
will supply an estimated annual rolling forecast to the Supplier on a quarterly
basis or by request from the Supplier.
The
Utilities may provide the Supplier with a Release Schedule on or before the
first day of each month. The Release Schedule will display the delivery
requirements for the following six months.
The
Supplier will acknowledge by telephone, by fax or by E-mail the receipt of the
Release Schedule within twenty four (24) hours. For Newfoundland Power Inc. and
Maritime Electric Company, Limited, the Release Schedule will be deemed to be
the requirements for the six month’s delivery as set out therein. For
FortisAlberta and FortisBC a PO will be issued. The Release Schedule will also
be electronically transmitted to the Supplier using the Estimated Forecast
Schedule form found hereafter.
The
Utility will have the right to change the forecasted quantities on previous
Release Schedules, any time prior to the first day of the month preceding the
shipment month, by increasing or decreasing up to 50% of the total quantities.
Changes in the quantities of any individual item cannot exceed 25%. Quantities
on the Release Schedule listed as the six month running forecast can be changed
by any amount.
The
initial delivery period shall take into account the design, and type testing
time required for the various Items once an agreement is concluded.

Schedule
B – Statement of Work

Should
the Utility decide to modify their specifications or requirements during the
duration of contract, the two parties shall negotiate a reasonable price
adjustment to cover the change in cost (up or down).
In the
event that the Supplier and the Utility jointly agree to rework and review the
technical requirements of the product/services during the term of the contract,
the Supplier will share the benefits as described below:
1. Transformer
Losses:
Whenever
a Value Engineering study is completed and it results in a net cost saving to
the Utility in the no-load and/or load loss, the benefits for each stock item
would be shared on the basis of the following formula :
[XX]
The [XX]
is derived from the Supplier’s experience that shows that for every $[XX] of
improvement in the cost of losses, the manufacturer has an increase in cost of
$[XX]. This in turn leaves a $[XX] net saving that would be shared equally
between the Utility and the Supplier. Therefore [XX]% of the reduced cost of
loss goes to the manufacturer to cover costs and a share of the savings, and
[XX]% of the reduced cost of losses goes to the Utility.

All
Others:

21. REFUSAL OF GOODS.
The
Utilities will refuse transformers delivered on improper pallets, dirty
transformers, transformers not individually strapped on pallets, damaged
transformers and transformers that do not meet the agreed to specification. This
will count as a late delivery.
22. ADDITIONAL
WARRANTY
Warranty
is thirty (30) months from the date of notification of readiness of shipment or
twenty four (24) months from date of first use by the Owner, whichever date
occurs first.
In
addition to the above extended warranty of 30/24 months, the Supplier is
extending further the warranty against damage due to rust. For damage due to
rust, the warranty period will be 10 years after shipment for units made of
either painted or unpainted stainless steel 316L. This warranty is limited to
the supply and shipping of a replacement tank and does not cover other related
cost such as installation/removal cost and repair cost. Should the tank rust to
such an extent that it needs to be replaced (imminent risk of perforation)
within the warranty period, the Supplier will provide the Owner with a new
tank.
This
warranty against corrosion is void if the tank surface is damaged by the
Owner.
