ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                        17 OCTOBER 2024


            That Council note the report by the Waste Manager to the Services & Organisation
            Committee Meeting dated 8 October 2024 and
            A. Invite expressions of interest (EOI) for the design and construction of a
            composting facility at the Eumundi-Noosa Road landfill site pursuant to Section
            228(3) of the Local Government Regulation 2012;
            B. Note that it is in the public interest to invite expressions of interest before inviting
            written tenders for the following reasons:
            1. it allows Council to canvass the interest and capacity of suppliers in the market
            to deliver composting related services;
            2. it reduces the time and expense associated with preparing a full tender
            response for suppliers as only those short listed will be invited to do so;
            3. it ensures that Council is able to consider the most suitable composting
            solutions without having to specify a required solution in a rapidly changing
            technical market; and
            4. it maximises Council’s resources in the tender process by reducing the number
            of tenders needing evaluation;
            C. Request the CEO prepare a short list from those providers that respond to the
            EOI and invite written tenders;
            D. Delegate authority under Section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the
            Chief Executive Officer to determine and finalise any and all matters associated
            with the EOI and the tender process described in this report; and
            E. Request a report to a future Council Meeting detailing the evaluation outcomes
            of the tender process for Council’s further consideration.
