Kia ora,

 

For each of the past five financial years, please provide aggregated
information regarding the use of contractual cost recovery mechanisms in
Wellington Water’s contracts with contractors.

 

Specifically, for each financial year:

 

1. The number of contracts entered into that included provisions for:

 

* liquidated damages,

   * contractual deductions, or

   * cost recovery for defective or non-compliant work

 

2. Whether such provisions are included as a standard term in Wellington
Water’s contractor agreements (yes/no, with brief description if
available)

 

3. The number of instances in which Wellington Water:

 

* applied liquidated damages,

   * made contractual deductions, or

   * recovered costs from contractors for defective, delayed, or
non-compliant work

 

4. Where readily available, the total value of such recoveries per
financial year (in aggregate)

 

5. The number of instances where:

 

* defective or non-compliant work was identified, but

   * no liquidated damages, deduction, or cost recovery was applied

 

6. The number of instances in which the cost of rectification, repair,
replacement, or other remediation of defective new work was:

-recovered from the contractor,

-borne by Wellington Water,

-borne by another publicly funded budget or programme, or -borne by the
property owner or another private party

 

If Wellington Water does not record cost allocation in that form, then
please provide any equivalent aggregated information showing whether the
cost of remedying non-compliant or defective newly installed works was
recovered from contractors or instead met from Wellington Water or other
public funds.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Simon Glenn
