The experience and expertise provided by Paul Muscat and his team throughout the whole procurement, project delivery and contracting of our solar farm project has been invaluable. Paul has advised on our procurement plan, project delivery method, and drafted our expression of interest, early tender involvement and tender documents, through to the drafting and negotiation of the project contracts.

Paul proactively assisted Council from the preparation of the procurement plan to undertaking Council’s first ever early tenderer involvement process, and subsequent tender. Paul and his team then drafted all of the post tender Design & Build and Operate & Maintain contract documentation and has advised and assisted Council in relation to the administration of the Design & Build Contract during the current construction phase of the project.

We will continue to instruct Paul in relation to the ongoing administration of the Design & Build Contract and the subsequent Operate & Maintain Contract.

During this procurement process, Paul identified contract administration issues and areas of potential risk and has provided pragmatic and commercial solutions to all issues all the while keeping Council’s overall objectives for the project at the forefront.
