Attachment 1 – Evaluation Spreadsheet presents the evaluation scoring outcome of the shortlisted

was 0.05 points, as follows:
    • Brown Contractors;             95.97 points

Durack Civil Pty Ltd submitted the lowest price, based on responses received during the clarification
process and pricing all submissions on the same basis, being $250,949.74 (GST exclusive) lower
than that submitted by Brown Contractors.

The evaluation panel completed the evaluation process and considered Durack Civil Pty Ltd to be
most advantageous to Council, presenting the best value for money. Whilst being ranked marginally
2nd, the evaluation panel confirmed Durack’s ability to undertake the works and meet the
specifications and requirements. This included obtaining favourable comments from references for
whom they have completed similar works previously. The $250,949.74 (GST exclusive) price
difference allows more of the project scope to be completed under the current approved budget
providing a greater benefit to the community.

Durack Civil Pty Ltd’s quote submission demonstrated the following:
•    A high level of previous experience undertaking projects of similar size and scope;
•    Provided a detailed design and construction methodology and program which aligns to the
     contract specifications;
•    Adequately resourced;
•    Certified Environmental Management System (ISO 14001:2015);
