REPORT
In February 2010 tenders were called for the construction of the Cadell Street Stormwater Drainage project, Contract Number 14.21.012. The money for Stage 1 of this project (between Crocker Street and Moore Street) is in the budget for the 2009-2010 financial year. Three contractors were invited by select tender to submit tenders. The specified tender closing time was 4:00pm on Thursday 18 February 2010. Tenders were received from Fleurieu Civil and South Coast Sand & Civil. On Monday 15 February 2010, the third contractor, Ellers Earthmoving, notified Council that, due to other work commitments, they would not be submitting a tender. Dawyd Pinter and Greg Hill witnessed the opening of Tenders. The following Tenders were received:
Tenderer / Tendered Amount – Stage 1(exc. GST) / Tendered Amount – Stage 2
(exc. GST)
Fleurieu Civil / $ 201,547.00 / $ 218,470.00
South Couth Coast Sand & Civil / $ 171,487.00 / $ 194,664.00
* Note: Stage 1 – Crocker Street to Moore Street (2009/2010 financial year)
Stage 2 – Crocker Street to Dawson Street (2010/2011 financial year)
A detailed analysis of the Tenders submitted including a review of the rates, quantities, exclusions and/or qualifications and timing of the works, was undertaken. Overall, the difference between the lowest tender (South Coast Sand & Civil) and the second lowest tender (Fleurieu Civil) is more than $53,000 (excluding GST). We have considered the Tenders received against the required scope of the contract and based on our assessment, the Tender from South Coast Sand & Civil is the most competitive of the two tenders received.
