Cr Nicholas Cr Pearce That Council awards Contract No. 1900201 for December 2018 Flood Damage Remediation Works to Stadelmann Enterprises based on the contracted Schedule of Rates. Carried BACKGROUND In December 2018 a storm event caused damage to Council assets across the Shire, with the most significant damage concentrated in the localities of Barwidgee, Gapsted, Mudgegonga, Rosewhite and Dederang.

The Invitation to Tender was advertised in the Border Mail on Wednesday 16 January 2019, on tenders.net and the Alpine Shire Council website on Friday 11 January 2019. Tenders closed on Friday 25 January 2019. The Tender documents were downloaded by 24 prospective tenderers and 6 tender submissions were received. EVALUATION The evaluation panel consisted of the Director Assets and Project Manager. The Tenders were evaluated according to the key selection criteria listed in the Invitation to Tender: • Price • Qualification & Previous Performance • Delivery • Social Through this evaluation process it was determined that the tender from Stadelmann Enterprises best met the selection criteria. 6 ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING M2 - 5 MARCH 2019 3.0 CONFRIMATION OF MINUTES - M1 5 FEBRUARY 2019 Ordinary Council Meeting M1 – 5 February 2019 POLICY IMPLICATIONS The tender was advertised and evaluated in accordance with Council's Procurement Policy.
