| Condition Survey | Blocks: AllA condition survey to be carried out within all areas likely to be affected by the working areas by the Service Provider which shall contain written and photographic evidence of the existing conditions. The Service Provider is to identify any areas of concern that may result in additional works being necessary, together with proposed remedial recommendations, within the scope of works. The condition survey is to be agreed with WCC and upon conclusion of the works the Service Provider is to ensure the condition of any areas affected by the works are handed over to WCC in no worse a condition than at pre-commencement stage. |
| Access Required | Blocks: AllGenerally, current maintenance access is via existing plantroom doors, hatches and the like. The Service Provider will need to acquaint themselves with the access arrangements available and provide block-specific proposals to facilitate the works necessary.
