Common use of Inspection and Maintenance Requirements Clause in Contracts

Inspection and Maintenance Requirements. Inspections by an approved Mooring Contractor shall be required for all moorings leased under the MP, at the mooring Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Inspection is required upon submission of a lease application (for preexisting mooring owners), or installation at the mooring site and annually thereafter on the lease anniversary date. • It is the mooring Lessee’s responsibility to schedule and ensure that the required inspections occur. • The mooring inspector must complete an Annual Mooring Inspection Form, which includes the current GPS location, in decimal degrees with an accuracy of a minimum of 6 decimal place digits, of the mooring anchor and a statement certifying the condition of the mooring tackle and whether or not it passes inspection. This form must be submitted by the mooring Lessee or Mooring Contractor to CSLC on or before the lease anniversary date, along with the payment of annual rent, proof of liability insurance, and current vessel registration. • If the mooring does not pass inspection then the Lessee shall be given 45-days to take corrective actions, and submit a revised Annual Mooring Inspection Form signed by an approved Mooring Contractor. If corrective action is not taken within 45-days, the lease will be considered in default and CSLC may take action to terminate the lease. Once the lease is terminated, mooring tackle is subject to removal, at the owner’s expense, pursuant to the authority of local, state, and federal laws and regulations. • Moorings/vessels that are determined during an inspection to be at risk of equipment failure shall be reported immediately by the Mooring Contractor to CSLC and GFNMS staff, and shall require immediate action including potential removal at the lessee’s expense. • Mooring pendants, if used, shall be inspected annually and kept in good condition at all times. The mooring Lessee shall routinely check pendant for chafing and wear, and replace as necessary to prevent pendant failure.
