ITEM: 2

SUBJECT: Road Maintenance Performance Contract - RMPC - Contract 27 and 28 - 2022-2023 and 2023-2024

AUTHOR: Technical Officer (Maintenance Planning)

DATE: 20 April 2022

Executive Summary

This is a report concerning the implementation of the Road Maintenance Performance Contract (RMPC) for financial years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 between Ipswich City Council (ICC) and the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR). ICC have delivered this contract for the past 26 years primarily based through a sole invitee arrangement.

To provide better working efficiencies for both parties it has previously been agreed that a two (2) year contract is more prudent. ICC acts as the contractor providing a stewardship role for the road network on behalf of DTMR. Proposed funding for this contract is $7,259,489.10 ($3,560,144.10 for 2022-2023 and $3,699,345.00 for 2023-2024) excluding GST.

Recommendation/s

A. That Council enter into a contract with the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 Road Maintenance Performance Contract for the sum of seven million two hundred and fifty-nine thousand four hundred and eighty-nine dollars and ten cents excluding GST ($7,259,489.10) for a period of 24 months.

B. That the Chief Executive Officer be authorised to negotiate and finalise the terms of the contract to be executed by Council and to do any other acts necessary to implement Council’s decision in accordance with section 13(3) of the Local Government Act 2009.

RELATED PARTIES

This contract is a cost-sharing agreement between Ipswich City Council (contractor) and the State of Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (principal).

ifuture Theme

A Trusted and Leading Organisation

Purpose of Report/Background

The RMPC is a contract for routine maintenance activities carried out on state-controlled roads within the boundaries of the Ipswich Council region. The road network outline is tabled below.

Routine maintenance activities cover all civil aspects of routine maintenance as well as maintaining green space areas.

Both DTMR and Council are responsible for a safe environment for the road user whilst integrating environmental considerations in line with the value for money objectives outlined in the Queensland Procurement Policy.

Road user satisfaction and public expectation are important drivers for the RMPC. It is essential that current specific assessment on the road network is measured, and that feedback and information can be provided to the road user when required.

Legal/Policy Basis

This report and its recommendations are consistent with the following legislative provisions:

Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

The continuing support of the RMPC contract allows TMR to obtain best value in expenditure of maintenance funds on the state-controlled road network as well as providing quick resourcing assistance to TMR following any incident or natural disaster. Overall, the RMPC allows Council to provide a professional cost-effective service maintenance operation on the state-controlled network.

The risk of no contract would be borne out to the community with possible slower response time, higher costs, and lack of engagement with the community. Historical evidence suggests that the engagement of Council for DTMR to undertake routine maintenance on the state-controlled network is well received and supported.

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS
OTHER DECISION

(a) What is the Act/Decision being made?	Recommendation A is requesting Council enter into a contract with the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 year for a road maintenance performance contract.
(b) What human rights are affected?	No human rights are affected by this decision
(c) How are the human rights limited?	Not applicable
(d) Is there a good reason for limiting the relevant rights? Is the limitation fair and reasonable?	Not applicable
(e) Conclusion	The decision is consistent with human rights.

Financial/RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

In the field, both day labour and contract resources are being employed to undertake the routine maintenance operations. Typically, ICC have one (1) crew dedicated solely to the state-controlled network as well as numerous contractors undertaking activities ranging from pavement repairs to mowing grass. Other day labour crews are utilised at different times where necessary. In the Council office there are two (2) full time officers employed to manage the RMPC. The RMPC is an important contract that ensures Council maintains a viable workforce and equipment resourcing level whilst maintaining the skills necessary to perform necessary tasks. Whilst the proposed funding for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 is generally an index growth from previous contract, it is essentially governed by a backlog of defect work as well as a joint assessment road report submitted and approved by DTMR.

COMMUNITY and OTHER CONSULTATION

The funding is controlled and approved via the State Government. Council’s primary role is as network steward managing and operating within the realms of the contract.

No other consultations are required.

Conclusion

The RMPC offers benefits to the City of Ipswich community by ensuring the state road network is maintained to a high level of service. It also allows smooth and efficient integration with Council roads which compliments the broader Council environment for the road user. The RMPC provides a consolidated document for which Ipswich City Council can apply an equitable and consistent approach to road network maintenance

ITEM: 3

SUBJECT: Infrastructure and Environment Department Capital Delivery Report March 2022

AUTHOR: Acting General Manager, Infrastructure and Environment

DATE: 21 April 2022

Executive Summary

This is a report concerning the performance of the capital delivery by the Infrastructure and Environment Department for the month of March 2022.

Officers across the whole Infrastructure and Environment Department are contributing to the positive results seen in the early stages of the 2021-2022 financial year. The result is especially pleasing when compared to the rate of delivery achieved in previous financial years and given the recent rainfall and flooding events.

Recommendation/s

That the report be received and the contents noted.

RELATED PARTIES

There are no known conflicts of interest in relation to this report.

Purpose of Report/Background

Summary

The result for the month of March was short of the original budget phasing, with a financial outcome of $6.4mil of actual expenditure versus a budget of $10.1mil. This represents a YTD result of $54.7mil expenditure versus a budget of $71.4mil, a year to date negative variance of 23% which has increased from 21% last month.

The full-year projection now shows a reduction in the final forecast spend of $89.84mil, this is slightly below the revised budget of $90.8 mil submitted with the Budget Amendment earlier this month. The reduced forecast is also a combination of projects being rephased to next financial year as well as savings realised from completed projects. The remaining forecast expenditure has been readjusted from April through to June 2022 as per the table below:

Month	April	May	June	Total FFC
March FC	$13,093,000	$11,286,000	$9,895,000	$89,050,000
February FC	$13,090,000	$11,280,000	$9,890,000	$93,030,000
January FC	$11,260,000	$10,980,000	$10,580,000	$96,580,000

Works on the ground following the significant rainfall event in late February have recommenced on projects such as Rosewood Amenities, Suttons Park, Denmark Hill Upgrade and Hardings Paddock. The Road Resurfacing Program and the Gravel Re-sheeting Program were down in March due to saturation of the pavements as a result of the major rainfall event in late February and further wet weather experienced in March.

Fleet deliveries that had previously been delayed by global supply chain delays are now commencing to arrive with actual expenditure of $660k vs original budget of $527k.

The rephased Whitwood Rd rehabilitation works were considerably short of the March forecast of $2.35mil with an actual expenditure of $461k. This was due to a lesser claim being submitted by the contractor due to a lesser quantity of contaminated material to be removed from site.

Monthly Program Variances Greater than $100k (Budget vs Actual)

Asset Rehabilitation was $1.05mil under budget for the month of March.

The major deficit in expenditure for Capital Delivery Program was experienced in the Asset Rehabilitation Program.

In particular, the Road Resurfacing sub-program was significantly impacted again with wet weather in March (approx. $1.5mil under budget). It is expected that the onset of cooler weather and supplier impacts will cause the full year program to push delivery of some streets out, until after the winter period.

There were two drainage rehab projects (Pettigrew St & Hayne St) that have been rephased to be delivered over April and May, which showed expenditure under budget of $683k for March.

Most other projects significantly impacted by the wet weather are expected to be completed this financial year.

As mentioned above, the Whitwood Rd landfill rehabilitation project was rephased to the back half of the financial year. During the removal of the contaminated material, it was found that the smaller material was not asbestos and therefore the volume of material originally quoted on was substantially less than first thought. Subsequently this has resulted in a saving against the project, that has resulted in the reduced forecast spend.

The project remains scheduled to be completed in June 2022, with a further revision of the final forecast required to capture variations for the washed capping. The Final Forecast Cost currently remains at $5.12mil vs budget of $6.95mil until costs of variations are known.

Parks, Sport & Environment was $111k over budget for the month of March.

Overspend for the month continues to be a result of rephasing of some projects in early planning and in design. There was also the Smart Meter Upgrades project with a budget of $170K that has been placed on hold until further Strategic planning is undertaken.

Sutton Park Toilet block and skate park facility had a combined over expenditure of $65k due to increased progress of concrete works following previous wet weather delays. The Redbank Plains Recreation Reserve Youth Area project was $73k under budget, due to restricted assess as a result of recent wet weather.

Design progress increased with a combined over expenditure of $25k recorded against Fernbrooke SG Lighting, Cameron Park Upgrade, Queens Park Pathways and Blue Gums Reserve Change Rooms.

Works on both the Denmark Hill Upgrade and Hardings Paddock projects progressed well with actuals being in-line with forecast for the month.

Transport & Traffic was $2.45mil under budget largely due to the rephasing of Redbank Plains Road Stage 3, Queen & Albert St Intersection signalisation and shortfall of expenditure for Springfield Parkway Road Upgrade.

Queen & Albert St intersection had a budget of $266k for March, which had been rephased to meet NBN service relocations. The final project expenditure this financial year will be $426k short of budget but has the requiring funding of $850k in the 2022-2023 financial year budget to complete the remaining works.

Redbank Plains Road Stage 3 had an underspend of $132k for relocation works that continued to be delayed due to wet weather last month.

Works on Pine Mountain Rd were slightly behind budget for March following recent wet weather but remains $400k ahead on expenditure of full-year budget.

With regards to the PTAIP Bus Stop program there was a minor underspend of $10k recorded against Jeffery Street Bus Stop project, due to delays completing River Rd after recent wet weather.

Fleet was $110k over the budget baseline for the month of March and $135k above the forecast value.

Two vehicles that were scheduled for delivery in June were received in March and further vehicles remain scheduled to be delivered in April and May based on feedback from suppliers.

Major Plant replacement also exceeded the budget and forecast for the month and Truck replacement was down on forecast due to one truck being received for less than the quoted price.

Summary

The current actuals to budget variance at end of March 2022 is 23% (-$16.6mil) behind the baseline, however the deficit is anticipated to be largely recovered in the last three months of the year to meet the revised amended budget of $90.8 mil, following the recent Budget Amendment.

Capital Expenditure for the full year is now forecast to be approximately 1% under the approved amended budget.

Major Projects

Springfield Parkway & Springfield-Greenbank Arterial Road Upgrade

Expenditure for the combined projects in March was $1.06 mil below budget expectations ($1.29mil budget vs $226k actual), this was due to a reduced claim by the Contractor based on reduced service relocation claims from sub-contractors following recent wet weather. These claims should be recognised in April due to progress expected to be made.

Good progress has been made across all activities, with the transition from the nearly completed Early Works Package to the Civil Works Package and integration of the Services Relocations is also going well. Only minor Early Works earthworks and stormwater items are outstanding and these will be completed with the scheduled Civil Works.

The main activities within the Civil Works package have been the stormwater, boxing out of the road pavement and demolition works. The night-time road closures for service relocation works are complete. Structural Bridge Works are also complete with only 20% of rock protection works remaining. Planning is well advanced on the side-track for the Civil Works on the Western side of Springfield Parkway.

Stage 3 Civil Works Package has been awarded with construction scheduled for commencement in the second quarter of 2022. Stage 3 Design Coordination with Utilities, Lions/TMR /QR is also ongoing and a number of Services Relocation Offers have now been received.

Redbank Plains Rd Stage 3

Expenditure for the project in March was $1.26 mil below original budget phasing with Telstra service relocations being rephased to April, due to COVID impacts to Contractor’s staff and wet weather delays.

Telstra is finalizing service relocation works this month, completion slipped to April due to dispute over variations, but now resolved. Optic fibre and copper cable hauling is nearly complete, with cut-over to occur in April.

Energex/Optus Crews to return during main contract period to complete last 5% following the stormwater relocation works.

The Principal Contractor was scheduled to commence works in May, however due to emergency works and resourcing issues with the Principal Contractor they have requested a delay to commencement until later in 2022. Council will now deliberate and advise the Contractor whether this is acceptable or to contractually force an earlier start.

Resurfacing Program

Expenditure on the resurfacing program was $1.58 mil below budget baseline and $50k below the forecast for the month of March ($2.12 mil budget vs $537k actual).

Works has progressed well following wet weather delays in February, however further wet weather was experienced in March.

Further discussions have been held with the resurfacing contractors around mitigating the quantum of the delayed works. The focus on the remaining program moving forward is to deliver all of the asphalt surfacing works and a portion of the reseals will need to be rescheduled until after the winter period.

The current Estimate at Completion cost has increased by $500k last month to $11.47 mil vs the Total Budget of $13.50 mil, this is a variance of $2.02mil which includes some identified savings.

Grant Funding

There was one bus stop project and one minor transport project completed in March with external grant funding commitments.

There are currently 18 x projects that have been completed to date this financial year.

The next scheduled project to be completed is South Station Rd rehab in mid-April, which has pushed out further due to wet weather delays.

PTAIP Bus Stop Program – The six projects that were delayed in the design phase due to Design Consultant issues have been received by our Design Team for review. The ICC review comments have been forwarded back to the Design Consultant, but no further feedback has been received to date.

Currently this financial year, five Bus Stops have now been completed, these were at Riverview Rd, Old Ipswich Rd, 2 x Gorry St and Jeffery St.

Discussions with Translink remain ongoing around alternate Bus Stop locations for the 4 x Bus Stop sites that are placed on hold.

There have been five sites awarded to a Contractor for delivery before the end of financial year, in line with the agreed funding completion date of June 2022.
