KI 1, Opt 1

Question 1

What is Option 1?

Answer 1

Re-tender the Works

Question 2

Please elaborate further on what re-tendering the works would involve? (repackaging; new tenderers, new tender period, new evaluation process, agreeing new contract, new pre-start meeting)

Question 3

Cost assessment -
-why do you say costs would be within budget?
-increased professional fees?

Question 4

Did you you estimate what the additional professional fees would be? What did you base this on?

Question 5

Time assessment -
You state there would be minimally several weeks additional time required - did you estimate the time required?

Question 6

Quality assessment -
Why do you state there would potentially be lower quality of execution of works?

Question 7

Risk Assessment -
-Why no guarantee tender within budget?
-What was the level of inflation and conditions of the market at the time?
-Why would contract selection be based on cost only? (wasn’t the original tender a 60/40 split?)

Question 8

Considerations ‘in the round’
- Why did you consider this option - did you think it was feasible?
- On what basis did you think the option could be feasible?
-Why did you think that there might not be any need to lower the quality threshold? (but there was a risk of it)
