RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE

That the membership of the Assessment Panel, as detailed in the report of the Acting Executive Manager Community Development dated 1 October 1998, to review and recommend outcomes of the Expressions of Interest for Management and Partnership Opportunities for the redevelopment of Inglewood Aquatic Centre be ADOPTED.

REPORT PURPOSE

To gain Council's approval for membership of an Assessment Panel to review and recommend outcomes of the Expressions of Interest for Management and Partnership Opportunities for the redevelopment of Inglewood Aquatic Centre.

BACKGROUND

At its meeting of 15 September Council resolved:

1. "That expressions of interest be called for development of the Inglewood Swimming Pool and encompass:

· The basic maintenance and facilities upgrade to the core swimming facilities, surfaces, pump and filtration systems.
· Additional facilities such as those shown on the redevelopment concept plan or any other facilities that will be compatible with the water sports/leisure theme of the facility and which will provide a viable leisure service for the catchment population of the facility.

2. That respondents be invited to propose capital financing of the whole or part of the facilities and submit estimates of catchment population and cash flow, including prospective lease fees, sufficient to identify the viability of the proposal.

3. That the call for expression of interest enable responses to be made for:

· The core swimming facilities; or
· Additional leisure facilities as a separate package; or
· Both the core swimming facilities and additional leisure facilities as a complete package."

DETAILS

1. The Expression of Interest was advertised in the West Australian on Saturday 19 September and in the Australian on Saturday 26 September, 1998. Submissions close on Tuesday 13 October at 11.00am. An in-house bid will be submitted by a team of City officers.

2. In order to keep the assessment process strictly separate from the process of preparing and submitting an in-house bid, it is proposed that an assessment panel be formed to review and recommend the outcomes of the Expression of Interest.

3. The proposed membership of the panel is as follows:

1. Acting Executive Manager Community Development - Chairman
2. One (1) Councillor from the Inglewood Pool Redevelopment Sub Committee - to be nominated by Council
3. Manager Leisure Services
4. Contracts and Purchasing Officer or his nominee
5. External independent adviser - it is recommended that an officer of the State Government Contract Management Services be approached to assist in this role.

LEISURE SERVICES COMMENT

1. It is anticipated that the Assessment Panel will need to meet on three occasions. Firstly, to approve the assessment process and allocating appropriate weightings to the selection criteria already assigned in the brief for the Expression of Interest. Secondly to review the submissions and answer any questions that may arise. A third meeting would be required to complete scoring and frame recommendation to the Community Services Committee on 3 November and then to Council on 10 November 1998.

2. It is recommended that the membership of the Assessment Panel as detailed in the report of the Acting Executive Manager Community Development dated 1 October 1998 to review and recommend outcomes of the Expressions of Interest for Management and Partnership Opportunities for the redevelopment of Inglewood Aquatic Centre be adopted.
