It is resolved that:
(A)
Council approve an exemption
from tender for 119 Redfern Street, Redfern, for head design consultancy
services;
(B)
Council note that a
satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders for this work
because:
(i)
the current head design
consultant has in-depth knowledge of the project and the concept design to be
documented;
(ii) the fee variation proposal from the current
head design consultant has been assessed by the project Quantity Surveyor as
fair and reasonable for the work involved; and
(iii) the lengthy time periods required for a
tender process would delay access to the building for members of the community;
and
(C) authority be delegated to the Chief
Executive Officer to negotiate, execute, administer and vary the head design
consultant contract relating to 119 Redfern Street, Redfern.
Carried unanimously.
