Council wins its own tender

Gosford Council's own construction operations section has been awarded the job for the reconstruction of Gallipoli Ave, Woy Woy.

Tenders for the work closed on January 18 with submissions from three tenderers being received by Gosford Council.

The other two tenderers were Coastal Asphalt from Woy Woy Bay and Central Coast Asphalt from Saratoga.

The tenders were assessed based on price, financial capacity and resources, contract program previous experience and performance, quality of work, subcontractors and environmental management, and occupational health and safety.

Council officers stated that the tender by the council's own construction operations section presented the most positive benefits to council.

Tenders were called for the reconstruction of Gallipoli Ave for road realignment, minor drainage work, kerb and gutter, concrete footpaths and landscaping works.

Two options were suggested to determine the extent of work that could be done with current available council funding.

Part A would include Trafalgar Ave to Springwood St, a distance of roughly 350 metres or Part B which would extend the work to Memorial Ave, a distance of roughly 700 metres.

The council accepted a staff recommendation to proceed with Part A at a cost of $ 279,944.
