SUMMARY
For Council to consider the awarding of Tender No. 11-2021 for the Refurbishment of Bayswater
Waves Aquatic Centre (Stage 1).

Stage 1 works are scheduled to commence in July 2021 and be completed by December 2021.

Submissions in response to the request for Tender 11-2021 were received from three contractors
and have been assessed in this report.

OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION
That Council awards Tender 11-2021 Refurbishment of Bayswater Waves Aquatic Centre
(Stage 1) to Paragon Construction Solutions in accordance with their Tender submission
dated 18 June 2021 including all separable portions, at a total cost of $2,422,742.43
(excluding GST).

BACKGROUND
Bayswater Waves, in its current configuration, was constructed in 1998 and is over 22 years old.
The facility consists of seven separate pools including WA's only wave pool. The centre also has
a number of non-aquatic facilities including a multi-storey health club, group fitness facilities, café
and other function rooms.

Plant and equipment required to operate a facility of this size incurs significant expense through
maintenance, upkeep and capital replacement. Funds were allocated in the 2014/15 budget to
commission an Engineering Report for the pools and associated plant to assess future life cycle
and maintenance requirements for Bayswater Waves.

The engineering firm GHD was commissioned to assess the condition and possible future capital
expenditure for the:
     Building services;

Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda                                                           29 June 2021

     Building fabric and pool structure; and.
     Water treatment.

The GHD report detailed that the building fabric and pool structure were in fair to good condition
for their age; however, various building elements were identified as requiring significant
repair/replacement for the building to reach its intended service life. Based on the conditions
observed on site GHD recommended the City plan for major refurbishments of the site within the
next five years.

At the Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM) held 17 November 2015, Council considered the above
matter and resolved as follows:
"That Council:
1.    APPROVED staged asset renewal program for the Bayswater Waves over a 10-year
      period.
2.    NOTES that officers will develop a schedule of works, asset management program and
      associated budgets for inclusion in the City's Long Term Financial Plan."

The first stage of the works identified in 2015 was split into two sub-stages with the initial stage
focusing on the outdoor 50m Olympic pool and the next stage on the hydrotherapy area including
the hydrotherapy pool, spa, sauna and steam room. The initial stage commenced in May 2017
and was completed in January 2018. The next stage commenced in June 2018 and was
completed in December 2018.

An allocation of $650,000 was included in the 2019/20 budget for ‘Bayswater Waves
refurbishment tender design’. Tender 15-2019 for engineering consultancy for remaining
refurbishments at Bayswater Waves was developed requesting submissions on the following
deliverables:
(a)   Produce a detailed scope of works supported by detailed quantity surveying of all aspects
      of the project, and comprehensive testing and analysis of necessary technical works for the
      recommended refurbishment.
(b)   Provide recommendations regarding stages, scheduling and prioritisation of program of
      works.
(c)   Investigate and report on the feasibility of sustainability opportunities including, but not
      limited to, geothermal water heating for consideration.
(d)   Design and develop project tender documentation complete with design schematics,
      project specifications and a detailed program of works.

Council considered the submissions for Tender 15-2019 at the OCM held 25 February 2020, and
resolved as follows:
“That Council awards Tender 15-2019 for the Engineering Consultancy for Remaining
Refurbishments at Bayswater Waves to Glen Flood Group Consultancy in accordance with their
tender submission dated 20 December 2019.”

Glen Flood Group Consultancy (GFG) was awarded the consultancy tender with an estimated
price of $343,777. The scope of the submission was based on like for like refurbishment as
detailed in the GHD Engineering Report of 2015.

GFG presented to Councilors on 1 December 2020 recommending condensing the remaining
four stages into two larger stages to take advantage of current borrowing conditions whilst
maintaining a level of service provision and minimising the impact to customers. They further

recommended a number of compliance and aesthetic upgrades that were not included in the
GHD report.

At the OCM held 27 January 2021, Council adopted the officer's recommendation and resolved
as follows:
"That Council:
1.   Notes the Bayswater Waves Facility Condition Assessment and Refurbishment Concept
     prepared by Glen Flood Group.
2.   Notes that the remaining Bayswater Waves Refurbishment project funding of $8,600,000 is
     currently proposed over seven financial years in the existing Long Term Financial Plan,
     with $1,569,500 approved in the 2020/21 budget with funds from the Economic Stimulus
     Reserve.
3.   Endorses the proposed Bayswater Waves refurbishment concept as outlined in Attachment
     1 to this report.
4.   Endorses the proposed staging of the refurbishment of Bayswater Waves as outlined in
     Attachment 3 to this report.
5.   Notes that a portion of the $1,569,500 contained in the 2020/21 budget for the part
     refurbishment of Bayswater Waves will be carried forward to the 2021/22 financial year.
6.   Considers the additional funding of $1,284,715 required to complete the proposed Stage 1
     of the Bayswater Waves refurbishment works as part of the 2021/22 budget process.
7.   Considers an amount of $7,345,524 required to complete proposed Stage 2 of the
     Bayswater Waves refurbishment works as part of the major review of the Long-Term
     Financial Plan.
8.   Requests the Chief Executive Officer to identify funding options through a combination of
     borrowings and applications for grants to facilitate the unfunded portion of proposed Stages
     1 and 2 of the Bayswater Waves refurbishment works.
9.   Notes that any borrowings relating to the Bayswater Waves refurbishment works will be
     included in the draft 2021/22 budget and subsequent budgets as required.”

In line with the Council resolution at the OCM of 27 January 2021, GFG split the detailed design
into two substantive stages, commencing Stage 1 immediately. Detailed design of Stage 1 has
now been completed and the detailed design for Stage 2 is on track to be completed by
September 2021.

Stage 1 of the detailed design includes:
    The 25m pool area;
    Chlorine gas compound;
    Sustainability initiatives; and
    Accessibility improvements.

Stage 1 construction work is proposed to commence from beginning of July 2021 and be
completed by December 2021. A Tender to carry out Stage 1 refurbishment works was
advertised in the West Australian newspaper and circulated via Tenderlink from Wednesday 26
May 2021 with a closing date of Friday 18 June 2021.

Conclusion            This option is not aligned to the adopted risk appetite and presents a high risk in
                      terms of community and stakeholder and service delivery. The facility will be
                      unable to meet current and future demand and the aging facility presentation
                      and functionality will be inadequate and are unlikely to meet customer
                      expectations. This option also presents a moderate reputational, financial and
                      occupational health and safety risk as the asset will continue to deteriorate
                      creating significantly increased maintenance and repair costs and negatively
                      impacting reputation and facility safety for staff and patrons.

Three separate budget allocations totalling $2,213,877 were approved in the 2020/21 budget,
and all three allocations are proposed to be carried forward to the 2021/22 budget to commence
Stage 1 of the refurbishment of Bayswater Waves Aquatic Centre in July 2021.

In addition to the preferred Tenderer's price, an estimated amount totalling $700,000 is required
for construction contingency (10%), project management, forensic investigations, building
management system analysis, tile audits, quality assurance testing and specialist engineering
services required throughout the construction project.

Relevant capital works (loan) funds currently proposed in the draft 2021/22 budget (other than
those carried forward from 2020/21) will be significantly reduced as detailed in the following table:
Project Title                              Current Amount               Modified      Amount Variance

                                                Total Variance (Reduction) -$704,715

$1,284,715 requested in the draft 2021/22 capital works budget can be reduced with project
costs less than originally forecast. $120,000 requested to replace the 25m pool platform is no
longer required as these works are being completed as part of Stage 1 Refurbishment of
Bayswater Waves Aquatic Centre.

Accordingly, it is considered that the draft 2021/22 budget has sufficient funds (combination of
carried forwards, reserves, grant funds, and new loan/borrowings funds) to meet the preferred
Tenderer’s price and all additional costs outlined above for the subject works. The modified
required amount of $700,000 in the 2021/22 budget is proposed to be via borrowings and a
detailed business case will be referred to Council to consider all funding options.

STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS

Aspiration: An active and engaged community
            A strong sense of community through the provision of quality services and
Outcome C1:

The refurbishment works and improvements identified in the GFG report are in line with the
above Theme, Aspiration and Outcome.

ranked Tender in accordance with the selection criteria and weightings as detailed in the Tender
documentation. Accordingly, it is recommended that Council accepts the submission from
Paragon Construction Solutions and awards Tender 11-2021 for the Refurbishment of Bayswater
