Hyde Park Sports Centre Project Tender Update

Gaeilge
An tseachtain seo caite chuir muid in iúl do bhaill go raibh Bord Rialachais Tionscadail Chomhairle Contae Dhún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin (CCDLR) tar éis cead a thabhairt dul ar aghaidh chuig tairiscint, ach go raibh ceadú ón Roinn Spóirt ag teastáil freisin don chéim seo.

Ó shin i leith, chuir an Roinn in iúl dúinn nach bhfuil an ceadú sonrach a bhí ag teastáil uathu roimh an tairiscint riachtanach a thuilleadh do thionscadail faoi bhun €20m, mar atá inár gcás féin. Ciallaíonn sé seo go bhfuil gach ceadú foirmiúil riachtanach againn anois.

Tá obair le déanamh fós againn, ach táimid ag súil go mbeimid in ann tairiscint a sheoladh amach do thógáil an fhoirgnimh go luath sa Bhliain Nua.

Beidh ceadú ó gach páirtí de dhíth, ar ndóigh, baill Cuala san áireamh, tar éis na tairisceana agus sula síneofar conradh nó go dtosófar ar an tógáil. Tá maoiniú iomlán faighte agus ní bheidh aon fhiacha ón tionscadal.

The Hyde Park  Sports Centre Project will provide state of the art facilities, a new ‘Home4Cuala’, in Hyde Park, Dalkey.

Last week we let members know that DLRCC Project Governance Board had approved proceeding to tender, but that Department of Sports approval was also required for this step.

Since then the Department has informed us that the specific approval they had required prior to tender is no longer necessary for projects under €20m, such as ours. This means that we now have all the formal approvals required. We still have some work to do, but expect to be in a position to tender the construction of the new clubhouse early in the New Year.

We will of course require approval of all parties, including Cuala members, following the tender and prior to a contract being signed and construction starting. The project is fully funded and there will be no debt arising from its completion.

I bhforbairt an-dearfach, tá Bord Rialachais Tionscadail Chomhairle Contae Dhún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin (CCDLR) tar éis a chead a thabhairt dul ar aghaidh le tógáil an fhoirgnimh a chur amach ar tairiscint, rud a léiríonn tacaíocht leanúnach an údaráis áitiúil.

Tá cead ón Roinn Spóirt de dhith comh maith. Tá sé curtha in iúl acu gur cuireadh moill orthu, ach go bhfuil oifigeach atá cáilithe go cuí ceaptha acu anois chun dul ar aghaidh leis an bpróiseas ceadaithe.

The next milestone in the Home4Cuala project is tendering for the construction of the building. This will be done in compliance with public procurement rules, which are very prescriptive in how the process is conducted to ensure it is fair and competitive.

The Design Team have been working hard on this, and have now completed all the drawings. The bills of materials are being prepared; this is important information to allow construction firms price the work.

In a very positive development, DLRCC Project Governance Board has approved proceeding to tender. This helps sustain momentum and demonstrates the ongoing support of our local authority for the project.

Department of Sports approval is also required to tender the construction. They have flagged that they have been delayed by a staffing issue, though they have now appointed a suitably qualified officer to proceed with the approval process.
