Decision details

It is resolved that:

(A)        Council approve an exemption from tender in accordance with section 55(3)(i) of the Local Government Act 1993 noting that, because of the extenuating circumstances, a satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders to provide and manage the George Street beacon lights, seasonal star lights and central management system;

(B)        Council note that a satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders for this work because:

(i)           going to tender would not deliver a competitive process due to the inability of any other tenderer to provide the services using the existing hardware and control system; and

(ii)         the existing beacon lights, seasonal star lights and central management system are still in good working order and significant cost would be incurred if they were replaced;

(C)        Council approve entering into a contract with Hub Australasia Pty Ltd for a maximum three year term;

(D)        Council note the revised total contract sum for the extended term is set out in Confidential Attachment A to the subject report; and

(E)        authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and finalise the terms of the contract with the contractor, provided that the contract is consistent with this resolution.

Carried unanimously.
