TERMS OF REFERENCE

 

 

Responsibilities

 

The committee is established to assist the chief executive to undertake the management procedure of ensuring sound procurement processes are followed in relation to procurement of goods and services necessary to deliver on the work programme and operations outlined in the council’s adopted Annual plan.

 

It will ensure that reasonable purchasing procedures have been followed in awarding contracts and will provide an efficient mechanism for documenting the approvals for those contracts.

 

Within a framework where contracts are an operational matter delegated to the chief executive, this committee will consider all contracts beyond the chief executive’s financial delegations.  The chief executive may refer contracts within his financial delegations which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the council.

 

The chief executive has power to award contracts up to $20 million alone and the power to award contracts up to $22.5 million jointly with the mayor and Finance and Performance Committee chair.

 

The committee will have responsibility for:

 

·    awarding of contracts of $22.5 million or greater

·    awarding of contracts less than $22.5 million which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the council if the chief executive refers the matter to the committee

·    oversight over the procurement processes and procedures.

 

From time to time the committee may advise the chief executive and council on changes to the procurement and contracts probity procedures.

 

Powers

Executive summary

2.       The Community Facilities department manages and maintains over 5000 sites including: administrative buildings; community facilities (such as libraries, community halls, recreational centres, and pools); public toilets and changing sheds (on parkland and streetscape); sports parks; local parks; cemeteries; specialist parks (such as botanic gardens); baches, lodges and other rented accommodation.

3.       The 20 current Facilities Management (FM) contracts are scheduled to expire on 30 June 2017. New Facilities Management contracts will commence on 1 July 2017.

6.       The 20 current Facilities Management (FM) contracts represent a total annual value of $124 million per annum and are scheduled to expire on 30 June 2017. New Facilities Management contracts will commence on 1 July 2017.

7.       This current contract value is for Community Facilities assets only. The intention under the current procurement process is to also include Panuku Development Auckland assets and Council’s Corporate Property into this portfolio of FM contracts.

8.       The Community Facilities team, together with all relevant stakeholders, have progressed the current procurement process for the full facilities maintenance contracts otherwise known as Project 17.

7.       Details relating to Project 17 together with regular progress updates on the procurement process were reported to the Tenders and Procurement Committee in the 2013-2016 electoral term. The Tenders and Procurement Committee approved the procurement strategy for Project 17 on 17 May 2016, resolution number TEN/2016/19.

8.       Some key changes from current Facilities Management contracts and the Project 17 strategy include the creation of five geographic service regions based on Auckland Council’s local board boundaries.

9.       A two stage procurement process started with a Request Expression of Interest that was issued to the market in August 2016.

10.     Twelve suppliers (plus City Park Services) were shortlisted as a result of the Request Expression of Interest and invited to participate in a closed Request For Proposal process for Full Facilities Management & Maintenance Services contracts.

11.     All suppliers submitted proposals on 9 January 2017. Proposals are currently under technical and commercial evaluation. Negotiations with preferred suppliers will be held from 8 February 2017 until 3 March 2017.

12.     Further background information and a summary of progress to date is provided in Attachments A and B of this report.

Consideration

13.     Local boards have provided input into the levels of service that council will be seeking from potential suppliers. Consultation and engagement with local boards is well advanced and will continue throughout this process to ensure community needs and priorities are met.

Māori impact statement

14.     Community Facilities play a key role in developing vibrant communities and positively impact Māori well-being and the Facilities Management contracts are expected to contribute to positively towards enhanced Maori outcomes.

Procurement of refuse collection services - contract for Manukau area

 

File No.: CP2017/00241

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To note an update on Auckland Council’s procurement of refuse collection services in Manukau.

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council has adopted the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan that sets out the strategy to deliver a number of waste minimisation targets.

3.       The strategy includes a number of changes to standardise waste collection services and reduce the amount of household waste being sent to landfill.

4.       The current contract for refuse collection services in Manukau with Envirowaste Services Limited will expire on 30 June 2017.

5.       An update on the continued provision of refuse collection services in Manukau will be presented for approval in the confidential section of the 8 February 2017 Strategic Procurement Committee.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Strategic Procurement Committee:

a)      note the information contained in this report, on procurement of refuse collection services, enables transparency on the topic due for discussion in the public excluded part of the meeting.

 

Note:

·      For contracts awarded over $100,000 Auckland Council will publish the following details on the website; the contract number, contract description, contract type, supplier’s trading name, contract start date and contract expiry date.

·      When the total spending of vendors exceeds $100,000, Auckland Council will publish the following details on the website; supplier identification, supplier name and total spend on the Auckland Council website.

Comments

6.       In 2012, Auckland Council adopted a Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. The plan set various targets including:

·        an aspirational goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040;

·        reducing household rubbish by 30 per cent by 2018; and

·        turning waste into resources.

7.       To achieve these goals, the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan proposed a number of major service changes to standardise waste collection across the region and reduce the amount of household waste being sent to landfill.

8.       To enable these service changes, the Tenders and Procurement Committee approved a procurement plan to support implementation of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (resolution number TP/2013/1), in September 2013. This procurement plan set out the plan for procuring refuse collection services, among many other waste collection services.

 

9.       In October 2015, the Tenders and Procurement Committee approved further extensions to the terms of the North Shore, Waitākere and Manukau refuse collection contracts (resolution number TEN/2015/48). These contracts are due to expire between March 2017 and June 2018.

10.     In September 2016, the Tenders and Procurement Committee approved a recommendation to implement a strategy for refuse collections (resolution number TEN/2016/42).

11.     The proposed strategy would enable the council to:

·     achieve lower overall costs for provision of refuse collection services;

·     maintain quality and continuity of refuse collection services, while managing the introduction of multiple service changes over a relatively short time period; and

·     meet the goals and outcomes of the Waste Minimisation and Management Plan.

12.     The information provided in this report enables transparency on the following item which will be discussed in the public excluded part of the meeting: ‘Confidential: Procurement of refuse collection services – contract for Manukau area’.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

13.     Local boards have been involved in significant consultation as part of the development of the first Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (2012). Local boards will also be consulted on the review of the plan, which will be developed over 2017 and 2018.

14.     A memo detailing future services in Manukau was circulated to the Franklin, Howick, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Boards in November 2016.

15.     Workshops to present key messages of the project, including a communications plan, are currently being arranged for local boards who have requested them.

Māori impact statement

16.     Māori were not consulted during the preparation of this report. However, it is recognised that the collection, disposal and minimisation of waste to landfill is of significant interest to mana whenua in their role as kaitiaki of natural environments.

17.     As part of the overall implementation of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, council staff members are engaging with interested mana whenua and maata waka organisations on a number of projects related to waste minimisation and resource recovery.

Implementation

18.     There are no implementation issues arising from the report. Any implementation issues relating to the Manukau refuse collection contract have been noted in the report titled “Confidential: Procurement of refuse collection services – contract extension in Manukau”.

Albany Stadium Pool Contract Variation

 

File No.: CP2017/00729

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To report on the variation to the Albany Stadium Pool main contractor’s construction contract in December 2016. Further detail of the variation for the Committee’s consideration can be found in the confidential section of this agenda.

Executive summary

2.       The Albany Stadium Pool is a North Shore City Council legacy project. This new facility is located adjacent to North Harbour Stadium, at 308 Oteha Valley Road, Albany. 

3.       At its 10th December 2014 meeting, the Tenders and Procurement Committee awarded the construction contract for the Albany Stadium Pool to Naylor Love Construction Limited (contract) for $18,264,078, with a contingency of $1,563,441 (total value of $19,827,519).

4.       Construction commenced in March 2015, however delays were encountered due to detailing changes and soft ground being encountered. Further excavation resulted in the discovery of organic material, mostly tree stumps and vegetation.

5.       Further construction delays have since pushed the completion date out to January 2017.

6.       Throughout the life of the project, scope and specification changes have been imposed as additional requirements and preferable options have been identified. These have included additional water features, pool equipment, flooring finishes and artwork infrastructure.

7.       This project has been subject to a number of significant challenges during the delivery phase including several changes to the project management function which affected continuity during the project.

8.       A variation to this contract was approved during the Christmas delegation period due to the risk associated with the delay of payment to the Contractor that could have resulted in a claim under the Construction Contracts Act (2002).

9.       Additional variations to this contract are expected and will be reported in full at the next meeting of the Strategic Procurement Committee.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Strategic Procurement Committee:

a)      receive the for information only Albany Stadium Pool Contract Variation.

b)      note that a full report will be provided to the next Strategic Procurement Committee meeting that will cover any additional provisions to vary the contract.

 

 

Comments

Background

10.     The Albany Stadium Pool is a North Shore City Council legacy project. This new facility is located adjacent to North Harbour Stadium, at 308 Oteha Valley Road, Albany. 

11.     At its 10th December 2014 meeting, the Tenders and Procurement Committee awarded the construction contract for the Albany Stadium Pool to Naylor Love Construction Limited for $18,264,078, with a contingency of $1,563,441 (total value of $19,827,519).

12.     Construction commenced in March 2015, however delays were encountered due to detailing changes and soft ground being encountered. Further excavation resulted in the discovery of organic material, mostly tree stumps and vegetation.

13.     Approximately 3,500m3 of material, unsuitable to be built on, was required to be removed and backfilled with additional piling and ground stabilisation. Some of the excavated material was later used in landscaping on site.

14.     The work associated with detailing delays and the removal of the unsuitable material resulted in an Extension of Time claim being received, pushing the contract completion date out from May 2016 to November 2016.

15.     Further construction delays have since pushed the completion date out to January 2017.

16.     Throughout the life of the project, scope and specification changes have been imposed as additional requirements and preferable options have been identified. These have included additional water features, pool equipment, flooring finishes and artwork infrastructure.

17.     This project has been subject to a number of significant challenges during the delivery phase including several changes to the project management function which affected continuity during the project.

18.     The variation was approved during the Christmas delegation period due to the risk associated with the delay of payment to the Contractor that could have resulted in a claim under the Construction Contracts Act (2002).

19.     Further details of this variation are contained in the report in the confidential section of this agenda.

Current progress

20.     The facility was due to be completed in November 2016, however incomplete work has resulted in the public opening being deferred until January 2017.

21.     An officially opening and blessing ceremony was held by the Mayor and Kaumatua in December 2016, however the facility was not opened to the public at that time.

22.     The contractor has now applied for Practical Completion and certification is currently in progress at time of writing, with the facility due to open to the public on 28 January 2017.

23.     Negotiation of the contractor’s final claim will be undertaken following Practical Completion. This may result in additional variations to the contract.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

24.     The Albany Stadium Pool project is a North Shore City Council legacy project championed by the Upper Harbour Local Board as their highest local project priority.

Māori impact statement

25.     Mana whenua were engaged through Hui’s during the design stages and feedback from those meetings and opportunities were actively incorporated into the overall project. 

26.     Mana whenua have been advised of the cause and extent of the project delays, and were present at the official opening ceremony held in December 2016.

Implementation

27.     Delays to the settlement of final account may entitle the contractor to additional claims for interest charges on outstanding claims due for payment. This will be reported in full at the next Strategic Procurement Committee meeting.
