QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to present an update regarding progress towards the delivery of the Pavilion Programme and will he confirm the schedule now being followed in respect of the matter.

REPLY:

The construction of the TASC pavilion at Limekiln indicated there might be advantages in terms of quality, cost and delivery through the use of prefabricated construction systems allied to the GCCC Design-build contract. The tenders for the Pavilion programme issued earlier in 2016 did not achieve results in either value for money , design innovation or the creation of a list of suitable contractors. It was agreed to retender the Pavilion programme using the more successful tender model of Design-build allied to more traditional construction employed on the now completed Ballyowen equine centre . Tenders for a Single-operator framework for the first 3 pavilions centring on the Dodder Park pavilion as exemplar project will issue on January 10th 2017. The project will be scheduled for completion mid-summer. It is intended to commence work on 2 further pavilions after completion of Dodder Park using the successful contractor and rates included the Framework tender.
