It is resolved that:
(A)
Council approve an exemption from tender in
accordance with section 55(3)(i) of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the procurement and delivery of the fire hydrant and
associated works by Mirvac Limited (ABN 92 003 280 699) at the City Recital
Hall building at 2-12 Angel Place, Sydney 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 these works because:
(i)
as owner of the building Mirvac Limited are best
placed to understand the detailed requirements to design and deliver the
requirements to upgrade the fire hydrant and associated works
(ii)
a separate City-led tender would require the
City to engage specialist advisers, duplicate a technical briefing already
undertaken and introduce additional procurement and approval stages, delaying
the works and extending reliance on interim fire-safety measures
(iii)
the timeframes imposed under a Fire Safety Order
to address the compliance issues identified by NSW Fire Brigade are best met by
Mirvac Limited as the owner of 123 Pitt Street and 2-12 Angel Place
(C)
Council note the financial implications and
approve bringing forward the funds from future years as detailed in
Confidential Attachment A to the subject report and
(D)
authority be delegated to the Chief Executive
Officer to negotiate and enter into any documentation
necessary to give effect to these resolutions.
Carried
unanimously.
