INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  18 AUGUST 2015


This finding has required extra flood modelling to be carried out, with slight delays in the design
process.

Staff are investigating the history of this embankment and will be meeting with the property
owners to see if the problem can be resolved co-operatively.

Attachment 2 shows the typical road formation required to comply with the artificially elevated
flood levels, compared with the current draft design formation. If the road formation is designed to
comply with the artificially elevated flood levels, it is estimated that this will add around $100,000
to the cost of the construction.

5.       Program and Next Steps

Design review and preparation of documentation for an invitation to tender is programmed to be
completed by the end of August 2015. Resolution of issues set out in Section 4 of this report will
also be completed to allow for public tender in September 2015 with construction programmed to
commence in October 2015.

Previous Council Consideration

Nil.

Finance & Risk

The budget allocation for this project is $4,700,000.

From the design and estimating carried out to date it appears that the project is on budget,
subject to resolution of flood levels.

This also will depend greatly on tender prices received when the project is put to open tender.
Tender conditions appear to be favourable at this time.
