Officers’ Reports

 

2.           Road Maintenance Performance Contract - RMPC - Contract 27 and 28 - 2022-2023 and 2023-2024

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.

DECISION

Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:

Seconded by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann:

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.

3.           Infrastructure and Environment Department Capital Delivery Report March 2022

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.
