EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the contract award of the preferred contractor for the
Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) Pools Refurbishment tender.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Aquatic Facilities Coordinator to the Special Meeting dated 22
May 2019 and award contract 1819T120 to Alto Pacific Pty Ltd for a lump sum price of $245,080
(excl. GST).


REPORT
The proposed contract is to replace the existing coping tiles, grout, and expansion joints within
the 50m pool and replace wet decking in both the 50m and Program pools. A majority of these
components are original elements of the construction in 1999 and have come to the end of their
useful life.

The contract works are proposed to commence onsite on 1 July 2019, with completion of works
and refilling of the pool occurring by 18 August 2019. The facility will already be closed
throughout this time in order to facilitate the completion of other major roof and deck replacement
capital works. Management will look to negotiate the bringing forward of the pools refurbishment
start date to 24 June 2019 (aligning with the first day of the facility’s closure) in order to allow for
a small contingency for timeline overrun.

1.                       Design

The look and feel of the NAC will remain virtually unchanged as these works are predominately
functional in nature rather than focussed on enhancing aesthetics. The works will address safety
concerns with current wet decking and form an important part of the maintenance program aimed
at maximising the life of the asset.

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
experienced and capable contractors.

The invitation to tender 1819T120 was released via VendorPanel on 12 April 2019 and was
advertised in the Noosa News on 16 April 2019.
