(2) TB 101/78 for waste disposal was called for two years with an extension clause. The contract was extended firstly for twelve months and then for a further three months. Approval was by the secretary of the department. The three-month extension was an interim measure to continue garbage collection services while contract TB 79/81 was let.
TB 79/81 for waste disposal was called for one year, with an extension clause. There were seven zones in this contract of which Nifty Waste Disposals held zone 5 (Florey, Hall, Macgregor, Page and Latham). Extensions for all contractors, including Nifty, were approved annually from 1982 to the end of the contract in 1985. A second contract identical to the first was entered into with all previous contractors while the "big bin" issue was debated. Approval was by the assistant secretary, technical services (now known as the general manager, urban services). In April 1986 the then Minister for Territories advised the ACT House of Assembly that he would not proceed with a proposal to introduce 240 litre big bins, and the matter would be handled by the incoming self-government. Arrangements were then made to extend the contracts on the northside as this was the lowest cost option. Nifty defaulted on this contract on 3 February 1989.
Contract 7034 for minor concrete works was called for two years with an optional one year extension. The contract was extended for 12 weeks to 12 March 1988 in order to complete unfinished works following application by the manager, general works section to the assistant manager, supply.
TB 87/090 for minor concrete works was called in March 1988 for two years with an optional one year extension. Nifty has withdrawn from one of the two contracts let to them under this tender.
