PROPOSED TWO ENVELOPE APPROACH

14

Proposed Two Envelope Approach

Drawn up with due regard to the Stores and Procurement Regulations (SPRs)

awarded the tender16

Tender Assessment A Tender Assessment Panel (TAP) comprising government

officers to be set up to assess tenders received to safeguard the integrity of the procurement exercise as required by the SPRs

Technical Advisers (TAs) from development-related professional fields to be appointed and advise the TAP on the relative design merits

TAPs to take part in the marking but not TAs Tender to be awarded after consideration and decision of

the CTB

17

Design Proposal Planning Brief (PB) to be adopted for guiding the design proposal

Need to comply with the mandatory features in the Planning Brief

Scoring criteria in the Marking Scheme can be broadly categorised into three groupswith particular emphasis on facilities with strong public dimension –

rewarding good design treatment of mandatory featuresin the PB;

incentivising desirable design features in the PB; andencouraging meritorious features beyond those in the PB

but relevant to modern mixed use development.

18

Rewarding good design treatment of mandatory features in the PB

Design treatment of stepping down building height

Design of Public Open Space

Design of Landscaped Deck19

Incentivising desirable design featuresin the PB

Respect the harbourfront setting in terms of building form, massing & separation

Visual connection with surroundings

High quality, contemporary & innovative architecture that will enhance the visual quality of the harbourfront & underscore the significance of the site

Pedestrian connections & landscaping provisions over & above those required under the Planning Brief 20

Encouraging meritorious features beyond those in the PB

Sustainable design

Roof design

Price Proposal

Price envelope to be opened following completion of assessment of design proposals

Reserve price to be set with price offers not lower than the reserve price to be accepted
