1. Purchase Order Receipt

Receipt of a customer’s Purchase Order or Work Order constitutes the placing of an order by a properly authorised representative of the customer and the customer acknowledges the standard terms of service for technicians mentioned in this document which are applicable throughout BoltPrep’s engagement.

2. Skilled Technicians

Boltprep will provide appropriately skilled technicians to fulfil all servicing requirements in their capacity as an employee of BoltPrep.

BoltPrep is responsible for all tasks performed by their employees in the performance of their contractual duties and for the avoidance of any doubt, Boltprep is not responsible for the work performed by technicians assigned by parties external to BoltPrep.

3. Scope of works

Once the scope of work has been defined, BoltPrep is responsible for the management of the project work as defined during the scope phase of the engagement.

Below are typical engagement parameters:

A          Define scope of work to be carried out

B          Analyse and define work methodology

C         Perform required work

D         Prepare reports – equipment output and conclusions

E          Remedies; propose and implement, depending on case

Change in Scope

In cases where the scope of work changes during the engagement, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify BoltPrep of these changes so that appropriate personnel and equipment can be sourced based on the modified scope. A risk assessment is prepared for every engagement and the risks need to be re-assessed in line with any modified scope of works to be undertaken. BoltPrep will provide an updated schedule of rates and fees.

BoltPrep requires mobilising relevant personnel prior to the engagement and therefore order cancellations can only be received up to 48 hours prior to commencing travel to the customer’s premises. Cancellations received outside the 48 hour notice period attract the standard day rate.

4. Day Rates (tabulated)

Upon placing the order with BoltPrep, the Daily Rates as quoted will apply throughout the engagement. An authorised member of your staff will be required to validate Boltprep technicians’ timesheets. Validation of work hours signifies acceptance of the work completed and the invoices are due and payable as per this standard agreement.

All engagements are payable 7 days after the receipt of the invoice irrespective of whether or not a formal report has been issued by BoltPrep.

There will be a minimum shift fee of 12 hours for each technician. Boltprep’s day rates are based on technicians working a maximum of 12 hours; any extra time worked will be paid as overtime at a rate 1.5 times the standard rate. If technicians work less than 12 hours the full day rate will apply. Travel time is also charged at Boltprep’s standard day rates.

Mobilisation costs are payable 7 days in advance prior to commencement of the engagement. No personnel is dispatched without receipt of mobilisation costs.

As BoltPrep requires mobilising relevant personnel prior to the engagement, order cancellations can only be received up to 7 days prior to commencing travel to the customer’s premises. Cancellations received outside the 7 day notice period will be charged at the standard day rate.
