Tenders were called on the basis of a detailed schedule developed by consultant, KORU Vocational Services Ltd. Three tenders received, all substantially higher than original estimated budget. Two options are: continue to negotiate and seek more information from all 3 tenderers OR approach 1 preferred provider and negotiate with them only. Advice received that Herberts had filed with the High Court, naming 8 additional parties as Napier City Council, Opus, Wynards, Wrightons, Toop Aluminium, LTFP Ltd, Sharp Edge and Anthony Brittin, company Director. Will seek mediation to hopefully reach settlement without the costs and time delays associated with a High Court hearing. Through discussion it was agreed that it would be preferable to negotiate with 1 party who is willing to work with Council. Cr von Dadelszen arrived at 0830am. Sufficient funds in the depreciation reserve to cover approximate $600k and the balance would need to be borrowed. Nick Hickling, KORU Vocuational Services Ltd, will provide ongoing project management through to completion of the remedial works project.
