That's the Kabi Kabi people and pay respect to their elders past, present and emerging. We have everyone in attendance and apologies. May we have someone to the confirm. Minutes from the April meeting please. That's moved by Councillor Jurisevic, seconded by Councillor Lorentson. All in favour? That's carried. We have no presentations, no deputations. We have some items referred from committees. The first is an application for a week of one point to two dollars at once was young and you can want to refer environment committee meeting I'm going to make and we have a new resolution in the applicant has asked that the matter be withdrawn. We have a motion to that effect. Does someone care to move that motion? Moved by Clare Stewart, seconded by Councillor Finzel. Any discussion? Mayor Stewart? No. Councillors? Any discussion? No. The motion has been carried unanimously. Next is, well done Patrick. He agreed with everything you said. Then we have a contract for the Lawnville Road Bridge tender award and we have Craig Eldridge and Jasper here to give us an overview. Sorry, Jasper. Rob and Craig, could you give us an overview? Sure. Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon.

As mentioned earlier, we're here today to award a contract for the Lawnville Road Bridge replacement. It's a contract CN00236. It's a lump sum contract that includes all materials and all services required for the construction of the bridge. The invitation to tender was advertised and we received 11 conforming tenders and four alternate tender responses. All of these 11 responses were deemed conforming. The tender evaluation panel completed an extensive evaluation and review and considered the tender submitted by Ark Construction Group Pty Ltd the most advantageous to Council. In representing the best value money for Council, Ark's tender submission demonstrated compliance with the requirements of the tender invitation and Ark are deemed to have suitable experience, capability and the resources to carry out the works. It's anticipated that construction will start in July this year and it's anticipated that construction will be finished in November this year. The recommendation is that Council note the report from the project manager to the General Committee Meeting today and award the contract CN00- CN00236 236 wormwood Lawnville Road Bridge replacement to Ark Construction Group for the price of $1,452,482 and authorise the CEO to negotiate the final contract with Ark Construction Group. Thank you.
