Good afternoon Robert

The Wanganui Road project falls within the scope of Council’s roading contract with Higgins, with the cost originally estimated at $1,124,000. Some changes were made to the scope of the work, such as extending the footpath along the southern side of Wanganui Road. Once completed the final cost for Wanganui Road is expected to be $1,168,000.

Good afternoon Robert

In your initial official information request of 15 August 2016, you asked for the following:

Please provide:

1) Tender Value for the Watermain Renewal for Wanganui Road and Reconstruction Cost, and
2) The expected final cost for the works.

We have provided that information to you.

Your recent email request seeks information beyond the scope of your earlier request, yet your response of 14 September indicates that you had expected this information would be included as part of Council's response to that request. Our obligation is to ensure you get an accurate repose to any request, but we cannot presume what other information you might be seeking if it is not clearly specified the request. In order to avoid further misinterpretation of information requests and potential frustration, I ask that you are more specific as to the information you are seeking in your current request.

Regards
