Their submission reflected their understanding of the scope of work and high levels of performance over more than 20 years of undertaking work of this type in the region. The submission including excellent documentation around managing health and safety risks for the public and excellent management of vegetation waste.

Their non-price scores reflected their excellent understanding of the scope of work, exceptional performance in delivering the service to date and commitment to safe work practices and local employment. Perkins Contracting and Mowing (PCM) is a relatively new company. The nominated experience was for significantly smaller and shorter term contracts. PCM was not able to nominate dedicated personnel for this work but indicated that they would recruit staff on award of the Tender. They also indicated that management of the work would be undertaken from Lower Hutt. Our subject expert Dave Evans also expressed significant concern that the prices proposed were likely to be below cost and unsustainable. The submission was not excluded but was given low scores for the non-price attributes due to the lack of relevant experience, unproven capability and limited local contribution. The Fulton Hogan (FH) submission referenced significant resourcing due to it being a significant national company. The nominated track record comprised largely vegetation management of road reserves and road berms only. There was no direct experience of vegetation management on stopbanks and drainage reserves with significant public recreational use. Their non-price scores reflected their capability but limited track record relevance as well as the reliance on machinery maintenance services in Petone.
