Umina oval playing fields to be resurfaced

Umina Oval playing fields two and three will be regraded and resurfaced.

Gosford Council has accepted a tender from Turspec Pty Ltd for the work at its meeting on Tuesday, September 3.

The value of the tender is $131,180 and according to council's director of economic and community development Ms Colleen Worthy-Jennings, Turspec Pty Ltd ranked highly against all stated criteria.

Assessment criteria included price, financial details, insurances, tender rates, contract program, referees, previous experience, environment management and Work Health and Safety.

Ms Worthy-Jennings' report to council noted that the company had successfully undertaken regrading and returfing works at Adcock Park One and Two.

Based on this and previous relevant experience, council determined that it had the capabilities to carry out the works at Umina Oval.

The tender price is within the recurrent budget allocations, council grant and grant funding contributions from Umina Football Club.

In accepting the tender from Turspec Pty Ltd, council did not apply the Local Preference Policy because a local firm did not receive the same or better point score in the evaluation matrix for non-price criteria.
