Inspection and tendering
7.0 Inspection of Memorials
7.1 The Supervising Officer, or other Council staff, may inspect the erection of a memorial either, as the work proceeds, or shortly after the work is completed. Where work is found to be unacceptable, either not conforming to the NAMM Recommended Code of Working Practice or any other reason, the Supervising Officer will instruct the memorial mason to return and rectify the work to meet the Council’s standards.
8.0 Post Work Inspection
8.1 The Supervising Officer, or other Council staff, may inspect a memorial following erection, or completion of other work, either as part of routine maintenance, or in response to a complaint from the public or Council staff. Where there is reasonable doubt that the work does not conform to these specifications, the Supervising Officer may instruct the memorial mason to dismantle their work in order to verify compliance with the scheme’s standards. In the event that work does not meet the required standards, the memorial mason will re-erect the work to the appropriate standards, the costs of dismantling and re-erection in these circumstances being their responsibility. In the event that the work complies with the required standards, the costs of dismantling and re-erection will be the responsibility of the Council.
9.0 Tendering
9.1 From time to time the Council may require tenders to be submitted for a range of memorial work, including inspection, repair, removal, and replacement of memorials. Memorial masons registered under this scheme shall be eligible for registration on all such lists.
