REPORT TO:               Civic and Administration Subcommittee

MEETING DATE:        Tuesday 16 June 2020

FROM:                           Group Manager: Asset Management

Craig Thew

SUBJECT:                    Covid Response - Contract extensions        

 

 

1.0       EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - TE KAUPAPA ME TE WHAKARĀPOPOTOTANGA

1.1       Is to inform the committee and seek approval for changes to procurement processes and contracts that have been necessitated due to the Covid-19 event and response.  The contracts covered are the;

·    Three waters maintenance contract; Extend current contract from September to 1 March 2021. Complete proposed tendering process before December 2020 to enable mobilisation of new contract by 1 March 2021.

·    Professional Services Contract; Delay full tendering process to 2021 and provide the Chief Executive the authority to negotiate a 12 month extension with incumbent, AND negotiate agreements with at least 2 further professional service engineering suppliers for the same period. This will enable design work to continue to support construction programmes whilst also adding additional capacity opportunity and supplier tension as intended by the approved procurement approach.

1.2       This decision contributes to the purpose of local government by primarily promoting efficient delivery of services and more specifically through the Council’s strategic objective of delivering public value and effective services.

1.3       The committee had previously approved the procurement approaches for the: 

·    Three waters maintenance contract (12 March 2020)

·    Professional Engineering Services (13 February 2020)

1.4       Due to the Covid-19 response and lockdown the previously adopted procurement approach timelines were put on hold. These approaches have also been reconsidered by Officers in light of time delays and wider response needs; needs such as capacity to deliver additional works if successful with funding bids, need to focus resources on project readiness to help stimulate economy rather than tender preparation and response, and a need to maintain a stable delivery base at a time of increased risks from stemming from a highly variable delivery space.

1.5       A delay to the formal tendering process does provide a benefit in that it enables time to incorporate within the request for tenders the principles, as appropriate, from Councils recently adopted procurement policy, and the work currently under development to support public value/progressive procurement considerations in the evaluations.

 

 

2.0       RECOMMENDATIONS - NGĀ TŪTOHUNGA

A)      That the Subcommittee receives the report titled  Covid Response - Contract extensions.

B)     That the Subcommittee approve the extension of CON2011001 3 waters maintenance contract from 30 September 2020 to 1 March 2021.

C)     That the Subcommittee note the deferment of the full tender process as adopted in the procurement approach endorsed on 13 February 2020, and provide delegation to the Chief Executive to negotiate contract arrangements to provide engineering professional services for the period up to 1 July 2021.

3.0       BACKGROUND – TE HOROPAKI

3.1       At the council meeting on Thursday 23rd April 2020 the Council approves the setting up of a COVID-19 Rapid Response Grants Subcommittee with delegated powers to approve and prioritise grants from the $100,000 budget.

3.2       At the first allocation meeting on Tuesday 5 May 2020 meeting the subcommittee allocated $53,560 of the $100,000, leaving $46,440 still to be allocated.

3.3       At the second allocation meeting on Tuesday 19 May 2020 meeting the subcommittee allocated a further $16,424 leaving $30,106 still to be allocated.

3.4       We are expecting approximately $15,000 of the allocated Rapid Response Grants be recovered back to HDC from CDEM, however the timeline on this is unknown.

3.5       During the Single Year Community Grant process four applications for events where received, the subcommittee declined to fund these events as they were a lower priority against the priorities set out for the Single Year Community Grant criteria (Attachment 1).

3.6       The committee members have been supplied with the four applications, a summary of the applications is below.
