The contracts we draft center around
asset management and establishing appropriate key
performance indicators to assess the manager’s performance.
Those KPIs balance the owners’ expectations around return
on investment against the long term security of the asset and the
need for capital expenditure.
Our experience in this areas has
predominantly been in the local authority sector. Water and
wastewater assets invariably represent a significant portion of a
local authority’s balance sheet. The fact and the
essential nature of the service highlight the importance of securing
highly skilled management expertise for these assets. Accordingly
our core competencies in this area include drafting service
delivery agreements and management agreements for the supply of
portable water and wastewater services, the treatment of waste,
construction of treatment plants and operating agreements for
these facilities, quarries and landfills.
Waste
and Wastewater
Supply of water and wastewater is an
essential service. Water reticulation systems require constant
management and upgrading. We can help you to put in place suitable
management agreements for these assets and terms of supply with your
customers.
Quarries
The key issues in relation to
quarries include thresholds and royalty arrangements for metals,
rocks and other substances excavated from the quarry and their measurement;
usually a weighbridge is constructed on site for that purpose.
We are well versed in all the issues that arise here and stand ready
to assist.
Landfills
Issues with landfills are not
dissimilar to those with quarries. Leachate is a common problem
amongst landfills; strict management processes serve to reduce the
problem. Our team are experienced in dealing with these matters
and can assist you with often complex drafting requirements.
