b) Areas which cannot be completed in the first and second year will be engineered to maintain adequate heating services until the outstanding works can be completed.

  • The contractor shall submit with his tender a detailed phasing programme which shall clearly detail the areas he intends to work in each year of the three summer holiday phases.
