Quick Takeaways
- Maintenance disputes happen when the contract lacks: inspection frequency + acceptance records + spares plan + SLA.
- Require traceability (fixture IDs / batches) and no silent substitution.
- For high masts, include special checks for: sealing/IP points, surge protection, corrosion, and (if used) lowering devices.
Maintenance Plan Structure (Tender-Ready)
1) Inspection Schedule
- Monthly: visual inspection (fixtures, wiring, corrosion signs, abnormal flicker, mounting integrity)
- Quarterly: check sealing points and cable entries, fasteners, grounding continuity (record results)
- Semi-Annual: clean optics where needed, verify protections, sample check temperature/driver performance
- Annual: full electrical & protection inspection, document all replacements, confirm aiming where required
2) What to Record (Minimum)
- Asset ID list (pole ID + luminaire ID + installation date)
- Inspection checklist results with date, inspector name, photos when relevant
- Replacements log (part number, batch, reason, before/after photos)
- Protection devices checklist (installed/verified) and any fault events
3) Spares Plan (Must Be Contracted)
- Critical spares list (drivers, key components, seals, accessories)
- Spare ratio or minimum quantity requirement
- Lead time commitment for replacements
4) SLA & Warranty (Make It Measurable)
- Response time (e.g., 24–48 hours to acknowledge)
- Diagnostic workflow + RMA process
- Replacement dispatch time commitment
Copy/Paste RFQ Clauses

- Supplier must provide asset traceability (luminaire IDs/batches) and a no-silent-substitution policy.
- Supplier must provide SLA commitments (response time, replacement lead time, and RMA workflow).
- Acceptance requires the commissioning and handover record set (as-built + commissioning checklist + warranty/SLA documents).
