QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to present an update on the Council's Pavilion Programme confirming the schedule now being followed in respect of the matter and will he make a statement.

REPLY:

The pavilion construction programme aims to provide pavilion facilities in public parks; the initial contract commencing with provision at Dodder Valley-Old Bawn Park, and proceeding to pavilions at Griffeen Park and Corkagh Park. A number of tender processes have been carried out to date which failed to result in the successful appointment of a contractor.

A third tender issued this year for the pavilion programme, using the more successful tender model of design-build allied to more traditional construction, and commencing with pavilion provision at Dodder Valley-Old Bawn Park, and proceeding to pavilions at Griffeen Park and Corkagh Park. The tender submission period is now complete and a tender assessment process is underway. Subject to a successful tender process and successful appointment of a contractor it is envisaged the construction programme will proceed along the draft programme outlined below:

Subsequent appointment for the contracts for the second and third pavilions will be dependent on overall performance and adherence to agreed programme on the first pavilion.
