COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 29, 2019

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

That this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive for a report on the Lucan Swimming Pool and to include the reasons for the delay in meeting deadlines and to give a firm timeframe for the building and opening of the Pool.

REPORT:

Following on from the tender assessment, an issue was identified relating to the second stage of the tender process and advice was sought from the Council’s Law Agent, Procurement Section and the project design team in relation to the issue.  On the basis of advice received, it has been considered necessary and prudent to re-run stage two of the tender process to resolve the issue identified. 

The main and the specialist contractor tenderers were notified and second stage tenders were re-issued during the week commencing 21st January.  A tender report including recommended contractor appointments will be ready in March with a view to construction starting as soon as practicable thereafter. 

While the delay is extremely regrettable it is unavoidable and mitigates against potential delays later in the process.
