Decision details

It is resolved that:

(A)      Council approve an exemption from tender in accordance with section 55(3)(i) of the Local Government Act 1993 to purchase 3 used trucks for the bulky waste collection service from Cleanaway Pty Ltd (ABN 79 000 164 938) for the amount set out in Confidential Attachment A to the subject report

(B)      Council note that a satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders for this work as:

(i)         the trucks are unique to the current service and have been specifically configured for bulky waste collection operations

(ii)        the market for used waste compactor trucks is not competitive due to low availability of suitably equipped trucks

(iii)      the supply of new compactor trucks that meet the technical requirements of the service would place the planned service commencement date of 1 July 2027 at risk due to local supply chain constraints

(C)      authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate, execute and administer the contracts relating to the purchase of 3 used trucks for the bulky waste collection

(D)      Council approve an adjustment to the Plant and Asset budget to fund the acquisition of the 3 used large compactors, 3 new fully electric flatbed trucks and associated telematics equipment, which will be funded from within the existing fleet renewal program as outlined in Confidential Attachment A to the subject report.

Carried unanimously.
