Contractor is able to comply with the required performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and government business commitments and has the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

b. To minimize the vessel’s time out of service and to allow for flexibility in scheduling, the Government will deliver the plant to the nearest slip at the Contractor's facility on a date mutually agreed on by the Government and Contractor, on or before 25 January 2022.

c. The Government will accept return of the plant in open water, clear of the Contractor's yard or any other berthing facility used in connection with Contract work upon completion of the Contract.

d. The Contractor shall commence the work under the Contract immediately after delivery of the vessel to the Contractor’s facility and shall execute the work within the time stated in the Contract. The Contract duration shall be computed from and including the first calendar day after delivery of the vessel to the Contractor.

The date of completion shall be considered as half a day if the plant is accepted by the COR before 12:00 o'clock Noon and as a whole if accepted after 12:00 o'clock Noon. The work cannot be considered complete until the COR has agreed all activated and contracted work is satisfactory.

SC-2 Berthing, Drydocking and Services

The Contractor shall have a suitable drydock facility available on or before 25 January 2022. Following completion of underwater work, the Contractor shall be prepared to drydock the vessel in case of unforeseen circumstances.
