INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            2 FEBRUARY 2016


1.   Tender Process

A request for tender was advertised locally and nationally in accordance with Noosa Council’s
Procurement Policy. The tender consisted of three portions, consistent with the consultant’s
recommendation, as shown above.

2.   Tender Assessment

Seven tenders were received and the tender evaluation panel carried out an assessment of the
seven conforming tender submissions from the following suppliers.

1)   Carruthers Contracting
2)   EarthTec Pty Ltd
3)   GEO Stabilise Pty Ltd
4)   Geovert Ground Engineering Pty Ltd
5)   Nathan Contractors Pty Ltd
6)   Sunshine Coast Consulting Pty Ltd
7)   SGQ Pty Ltd.

The tenders were evaluated using the following criteria:
    Capability and Resourcing
    Contract Experience & Capacity
    Methodology
    Quality
    Health & Safety
    Environment Sustainability
    Contribution to Local Economy
    Price.

The evaluation methodology considered non-price elements (60% of the score) and a price
component (40% of the score).

3.   Submissions

The tenders were evaluated using an evaluation Matrix (Attachment 1) with SGQ Pty Ltd scoring
the highest. The second highest scoring tender was from Geo Stabilise Pty Ltd and the third highest
score being from EarthTec.

SGQ Pty Ltd, a Sunshine Coast based company, have elected to project manage the overall
project whilst utilising some local and non-local sub-contractors to complete the works. The
nominated sub-contractor for doing the main component (soil nailing and mesh installation) is Rix
Group, a specialist in this line of work and based in Brisbane. The sub-contractor nominated for
rock pitching is Stacked Stone, a local specialist from Noosaville.

Whilst Geo Stabilise Pty Ltd submitted the lowest tender price element, SGQ Pty Ltd demonstrated
a higher capability in the majority of the non-price elements to deliver the works. As such, SGQ
Pty Ltd is recommended as the successful supplier due to the overall value for money to project
delivery.

4.   Programme

Once the contract is awarded, a programme will be scheduled and work will commence as soon
as practical. It is envisioned that work will commence in March 2016 and will take approximately
4-6 weeks to complete.
