TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (PASSENGER TRANSPORT) ACT 1994 - SECT 62AAI

(1) This section applies if a TransLink service contract is surrendered, cancelled or terminated, whether by the chief executive or by the operator.

(2) The chief executive may do either of the following—

(a) invite any or all holders of TransLink service contracts, by written notice, to offer by the prescribed day for the TransLink service contract;

(b) invite the public, by public notice, to offer for the TransLink service contract.

(3) If the chief executive acts under subsection (2)(a) and either—

(a) no holder of a TransLink service contract makes an offer by the prescribed day; or

(b) if 1 or more offers are made, the chief executive decides no offer made is acceptable under section 62AAE;

the chief executive may invite offers from the public under subsection (2)(b) for the TransLink service contract.

(4) However, if—

(a) an offer is made under subsection (2)(a) by the prescribed day; and

(b) the chief executive considers the offer substantially meets the requirements of an offer that would be acceptable under section 62AAE;

the chief executive may defer inviting offers from the public under subsection (2)(b) to allow an opportunity for a contract to be concluded with the offerer.
