According to the report to council by general manager Mr Paul Anderson, the playing area of the stadium is a Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT) system and the preparation and maintenance for international standard fixtures requires appropriate equipment, qualifications and experience. “The current playing surface is highly regarded by National and International sporting codes,” states the report. Turf and Landscape Asset Maintenance services are currently being completed by The Green Horticultural Group (Green Horticultural). Green Horticultural was awarded a three year contract in 2010, which expired in November last year. “Green Horticultural have been performing well under the contract and have maintained the playing surface to an exceptional level,” states the report to council. The scope of the proposed contract remains generally unchanged with the exception of the inclusion of fertilizer application, pruning of palm trees and some other minor adjustment to the specification. The new contract is for a period of two years commencing July 1. A two year extension
option may be executed, upon approval of the general manager and agreement of the service provider. Tenders were evaluated by the Tender Evaluation Committee in accordance with the predetermined criteria and weightings in the Tender Evaluation Plan. “The tender from Green Options is considered to provide the best value to council,” states the general manager’s report. “Their submission scored well across all non-price and price criteria. “Green Options have extensive experience in managing sports fields of a similar standard and are currently responsible for turf care and ground maintenance at Remondis Stadium (Shark Park) and Redfern Oval. “In addition to providing a competitive offer, Green Options demonstrated they have the physical resources and technical capacity to meet the contract requirements. “A meeting with Green Option representatives and subsequent reference checks confirmed that Green Options have the capabilities and commitment to maintaining a high quality playing surface.” Gosford Council agenda GEN.13, 22 Apr 2014
