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.
