EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the contract award of the preferred contractor for the
Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) roof and deck replacement.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Building Facilities Coordinator to the Special Meeting dated
22 May 2019 and award contract 1819T062 to Ri-Con Contractors Pty Ltd for a lump sum price
of $364,644.00 (excl. GST).


REPORT
The proposed contract is to replace the existing roof and deck at the NAC. The roof and deck are
part of the original 1999 construction and have come to the end of their useful life.

The contract works are proposed to commence on site on the 24 June 2019 with construction
anticipated to be completed by the 14 August 2019. In order to allow for a small timeline overrun
contingency, the NAC is aiming for a public reopening on Monday 20 August 2019 (an 8-week
closure in total).

1.                       Design

The Noosa Aquatic Centre roof design will remain almost identical to the original with only a
slight change in roof sheeting profile. The specified product solution has also taken into
consideration the harsh environment present at the NAC. The decking design has been slightly
modified to provide for better DDA compliance and greater deck space for the public to utilise.

2.                       Tender Process

Due to the value of the works being greater than $200,000 and the complex nature of the project,
Council went out to tender in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009 to obtain
submissions from experienced and capable contractors.

The invitation to tender 1819T062 was released via VendorPanel on 15 March 2019 and
advertised in local publications, the Sunshine Coast Daily on 16 March 2019 and the Noosa
News on 19 March 2019.
