     Tender Process

     Due to the value of the works being greater than $200,000, Council called a public tender for the
     work through the LG Tender Box system in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009.

     An open invitation to tender was released via LG Tender Box on 21 April 2017 with advertising in
     the Sunshine Coast Daily on 22 April 2017 and in the Noosa News 25 April 2017. The tender
     closed on 16 May 2017. Four (4) conforming tenders were received.

     Tender Assessment

     The tender evaluation panel undertook an assessment of the received conforming tender
     submissions from the following respondent:
     1)   Ecowise Australia Pty Ltd trading as ALS Hydrographics (ALS Hydrographics);
     2)   Aquamonix Pty Ltd;
     3)   Prospect Group Pty Ltd; and
     4)   Wight Water Environmental Pty Ltd.

     The tenders were evaluated using the following criteria:
         Capability and resourcing;
         Contract experience and track record;
         Timeline and methodology;
         Quality;
         Health and safety;
         Environment and sustainability;
         Contribution to local economy; and
         Price.

     The tendered price from ALS Hydrographics is the second lowest at $206,718 excluding GST.

     ALS Hydrographics tender submission is favourable as they have significant previous experience
     with installing similar alert flood warning stations for other local governments.

     ALS Hydrographics have demonstrated in their submission that they are more than capable and
     have the necessary resources to meet Council’s program to complete these works by 30
     November 2017.

     The tender evaluation team considers this tender to be the most advantageous to Council and
     presents the best value for money.
