I will do the CIP. Thank you, Councillor Finzel. So this is in regards to contract RP25083. Which is seeking approval to establish a Register of Prequalified Suppliers for the provision of tree management and maintenance services in accordance with the Local Government Regulation a public Request for Tender was issued to establish the ROPS. Is to be established with the recommended suppliers for initial term of two years plus two extension options of up to two years for each area. Each option for extension. The tender evaluation panel has completed the evaluation process and recommended 11 suppliers be placed on the ROPS, be included in the ROPS, with 10 of those based on the Noosa or the Sunshine Coast local government area. The services that are to be provided are broken into four service categories. That's tree works with tree maintenance, elevated work platforms and chipper works. Specialised tree services including root barrier works, excavation and consultancy for arborist services, tree planting and establishment and also traffic management. After the evaluation we determined that eight applicants were suitable for the Tree works. Category with six of those also providing traffic management services. Eight would be on the specialised tree service register and five were on the tree planting and establishment. So, Council's recommendation is that we award the contract RP25083 for the Register of Prequalified Suppliers for the provision of tree management and maintenance services for two years commencing 1st of November to the suppliers listed in the attachment of the report and authorise the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate finalise and execute administer the contract on behalf of the Council and subject the satisfactory performance of the suppliers also for the CEO to approve the option to extend the contract and if that is extended to approve the addition of new suppliers to the contract as a result of any refresh and discretion.
