(E)      Council note the reasons a satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders for the procurement of items referred to in clause (D) is due to the following extenuating circumstances:

(i)         due to the variability of civil infrastructure, it is anticipated that there will be circumstances where works will be required that are not envisaged in the Schedule of Rates that are unusual, unique or unknown at the time of tender;

(ii)        the ability to include these items under Work Lot 3 will allow for the effective delivery of civil infrastructure;

(iii)      the time and cost to take the procurement of these items to market would disrupt the delivery of civil infrastructure; and

(iv)      the panel structure of Work Lot 3 and the requirements for competitive quotes will provide value for money for the procurement of these items; and

(F)      authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise, execute and administer the contracts relating to the tender (including exercising options, if appropriate) and to give effect effect to the approval in clause (D).
