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; Page 1

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.
