(b) The Department of Finance's contract with Spotless allows the company to access the Department's trade panel contractors. There is no standard charge because the trade panel price rates are structured on time and materials which are variable depending on:
· the individual contractor's hourly rates;
· the type of trade;
· type and cost of materials required;
· access requirements;
· the time of day; and
· the level of priority required.
(c) Under the terms of the existing contract, officers are not prevented from undertaking minor repairs. However the service arranger provides a comprehensive management service for the delivery of building related maintenance and property services to Fire and Emergency Services Authority buildings.
