COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 26, 2017

QUESTION NO. (18)

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm the schedule now been followed in respect of the provision of the new Stand at Tallaght Stadium including the duration of the contract;  will he state what arrangements are in place to ensure that as little disruption as possible is created in respect of the use of the Stadium and will he make a detailed statement?"

REPLY:

"Tenders for the Third Stand were sought on a Design and Build basis via an open competition on etenders. Only two valid tenders were received. The Design Team subsequently carried out a detailed assessment of these tenders. However having been through this process the Design Team have advised that the tender as structured (as Design and Build) does not offer the Council value for money. On this basis the structure of the tender will be revisited with a view to retendering based on a detailed Design by the Design Team. This will have an impact on the schedule and a revised schedule will be issued as soon as a full review has been completed.

A detailed method statement will be completed at contractor appointment stage to ensure that the construction works will create as little disruption to the normal operation of the stadium as possible."
