Decision Maker: Council
Decision status: Recommendations Determined
It is resolved that:
(A)
Council approve an exemption from tender in accordance with
section 55(3)(i) of the Local Government Act 1993 to
engage with a suitable service provider for Barge and Tug services for the 2024
and 2025 New Year's Eve events;
(B)
Council note that a satisfactory result would not be
achieved by inviting tenders for this work because:
(i)
given the industry capacity issues and ongoing discussions
with the pyrotechnic service provider for the 2024 Sydney New Year's Eve event;
there is insufficient time to undertake required market consultation, scoping
discussions and then conduct a tender process for these services; and
(ii)
the industry is currently experiencing ongoing high levels
of demand and capacity issues. As a result, the City needs to work with service
providers to determine the scope that can be delivered within the remaining
timeframes and the appropriate engagement model;
(C)
Council approve the maximum total contract value under (A)
for the provision of Barge and Tug services as outlined in Confidential
Attachment A to the subject report, for a period of up to two years; and
(D)
authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to
negotiate, finalise, execute and administer the contract for Barge and Tug
services for up to two years.
Carried unanimously.
