·         Ōtāhuhu Rugby League Club for this year’s season. The Club has seen a very good year in  the development of players and teams. This was an enormous task for President Bruce Shaw, their Board, Management and club members - 2016 has been a fantastic year.

·         Māngere East Hawks League Club for this year’s season with some fantastic wins and again the enormous task for organisation and without the effective club management, families, players and army of volunteers, this would not have been such a great success. Well done.

Community Facilities Maintenance Contracts 2017

 

Resolution number MO/2016/147

MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Deputy Chairperson CM Elliott:  

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)          Provide the following feedback on the proposed service specifications, local outcomes and the overall structure for new Community Facilities maintenance contracts, including:

 

(i)            A key outcome for the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board is to improve employment opportunities at a local level for local people whilst recognising the need to be financially prudent and gain the best results. The board supports a community empowerment approach where local businesses, industry and communities are enabled to access employment opportunities as a direct result of the way we procure services. In this way the organisation and communities can benefit together. Spending on locally owned businesses helps create a local multiplier effect generating local economic returns.

Overall approach

b)          Supports the proposed approach for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts with the proviso that the outcomes reflect local character, not one generic outcome across the region.

c)          Supports the move to more outcomes focussed Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts, noting that some prescriptive requirements will remain to ensure that the transition to the new approach is successful over time.

d)          Requests that as part of the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts an independent auditing function be set-up to assess the success of the ‘outcomes’ so local boards do not need to rely solely on the community to monitor performance.

Proposed specifications

e)          Requests that the proposed service specifications outcomes for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts are reviewed to remove all subjective statements (such as high-quality and visually pleasing) and replaced with definitive statements.

f)           Notes that staff have confirmed that the existing 2015/2016 service levels will become the ‘standard’ levels of service in the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts.

Geographical clusters and term of contracts

g)          Supports the proposed geographic clusters for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts, noting that staff have tested the market and have provided advice to local boards that the size of the clusters are efficient and will not disadvantage local suppliers.

h)          Requests that the length of the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts be a maximum of five years and that any rights of renewal are made at the end of each term and are based on pre-determined performance criteria and Key Performance Indicators which should be agreed by local boards.

Procurement principles

i)         Considers that providing more opportunities for local suppliers for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts will allow for:

i)       greater economic opportunities for these local providers.

ii)      greater pride and ownership in the work and consequently better standards.

iii)    economic development in local areas, including jobs closer to where people live.

j)         Requests that staff ensure that the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts provide a sustainable procurement approach as per the Council’s procurement policy which includes ”increased local spend and enhanced local capability where appropriate”.

k)        Requests that staff, when considering the tenders for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts, give greater weight to tenderers who have included a proportion of local suppliers.

l)         Requests that staff, as per the Council’s procurement policy, ensure that local suppliers are provided advice and support so they have a full and fair opportunity to compete for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts, including ensuring that the process as to how the new approach is conveyed to local suppliers and community groups allows for a single integrated approach to procurement, service delivery and community empowerment.

m)      Requests that as part of the new Contracts, successful tenders are required to ensure local sub-contractors (community groups and small businesses) are paid a fair and reasonable rate.

n)       Requests that the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts have a “local impact assessment” as part of the procurement process as per the Council’s procurement policy and requests that local boards have input at the strategic level on the development of the “local impact assessment”.

o)       Supports staff incorporating creative solutions and opportunities to build community empowerment into the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts e.g. a local community group could undertake all the maintenance of a local park.

p)       Requests that the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts be designed with  flexibility to allow community empowerment opportunities to be increased on an annual basis .

q)       Requests that the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts be designed to allow for enough flexibility for local boards to make minor changes to levels of service without the need for locally driven initiative funding.

r)        Requests that the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts be designed to enable local boards to use locally driven initiative funding for major increases to levels of service on an annual basis.

s)        Requests that staff ensure that increases to levels of service resulting from the planned growth for Auckland are built into the 2018-28 Long-term Plan to ensure that local boards’ locally driven initiative funding is not required to cover a potential shortfall in asset-based services funding.

t)        Requests that simple and measurable Key Performance Indicators and penalties for non-performance are included in the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts.

u)       Requests that the simple and measurable Key Performance Indicators developed for the 2017 Parks and Building Maintenance Contracts are used to inform the measures for the 2018-28 Long-term Plan.

Council processes and communication:

This section allows for providing relevant information to elected leaders and the public.

·    That use of Te Reo in formal openings, functions and discussions be encouraged.
