SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 11 AUGUST 2020


Council staff have undertaken initial market research and identified up to four (4) regional
contractors that publicly advertise the ability to design, construct and deliver buildings of a type
which appear suitable for this project as well as meeting the aims of the Works for Queensland
program. All four contractors are located within the Sunshine Coast/Gympie Region including one
located in the Noosa Shire Council local government area.

The following weighted criteria is proposed:

 Price                                35
 Fit for Purpose Design               25
 Capability/Past Performance          15
 Contribution to Community            15

Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 16 July 2020, Item 4, Page 10

That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the General Committee Meeting
dated 13 July 2020 and endorse the various projects submitted to the State and Commonwealth
governments for funding as set out in the report.

Finance
The direct costs ($250,000) of the accommodation project is to be delivered under the Works for
Queensland funding program with the exception of some overhead costs such as procurement,
governance and financial management. Whole of life cost implications (i.e. depreciation,
operations and maintenance) will need to be considered and factored into future Council budgets
where applicable. Any additional costs such as furniture, fixtures and fittings will be contributed
by community partners.

Risks & Opportunities
This funding provides Council with an opportunity to achieve projects on behalf of the Noosa
community that would not otherwise be undertaken due to financial constraints as a result of
COVID-19. The funding program has very tight timeframes. This has been evident in both the
submission/bid process and also in non-negotiable timeframes for completion by 30 June 2021.
A Project Control Group (PCG) will be established to ensure that this project will be well
managed and completed on time.
