MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, May 27, 2013

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Manager for a full and detailed update on the delivery of the TASC Pavilion in Tymon Park, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

Following tender, the project has been going through a design build contract verification process with the highest ranked tendering contractor.

The verification process was at a very advanced stage, with start dates on site set, when the contractor belatedly revealed that they could not comply, despite previous assurances, with a mandatory requirement as specified in the tender documents.

As a result, there was no option open to the council but to disqualify the tendering contractor and proceed to the next ranked tendering contractor.

The second ranked tenderer has been contacted and has been requested to confirm that they meet all requirements.
