Question:
Form 2 - Tender Prices - Schedule of Rates

Travel to and from work site - unplanned and emergency rate (counted both directions) has been duplicated. Should the first Travel box (8000 kms) be Standard Rates?

Note on Schedule of Rates states - Prices submitted "must" include Goods & Services Tax (GST), yet on page 8 of the RFT it states "all rates must be GST exclusive (GST not included), could you please clarify which one is correct.

This is a Schedule of Rates tender (based on actual quantities used) and all rates must be GST

exclusive (GST not included).

Question:
Does travel need to be in kilometres (km)? Can travel be a single allowance and no kilometres? If kilometres is required, where is it calculated from (ie council depot to site there and back).

Question:
Is there an opportunity to review pricing annually within the first 2yr period (after the first 12mths) so that we can avoid pricing higher in year 1 to offset the forecast (unknown) cost increase percentage in year 2?

Hi Brendan,

Pricing

5.1 Rise and Fall (CPI) Adjustment

5.1.1 Tendered prices are subject to a rise and fall (CPI) adjustment on a yearly basis, with the first adjustment being applied annually after the commencement of this contract.

5.1.2 It would be expected that tendered prices would be adjusted to commensurate with the Australian Bureau of Statistics CPI (Sydney All Groups) for the preceding four (4) quarterly periods.

5.1.3 Any rise and fall adjustment is the responsibility of the Contractor and must be submitted to Council in writing prior to any works being completed. Price adjustments take affect from the date of the written notification from the Contractor
