Dear Mr T
Local Government Official Information And Meetings Act 1987
Tetra Traps 2
I refer to your request for information which we received on 6 December 2017, concerning
additional information relating to Tetra Traps. Please find our response below.
A breakdown of the price of Tetra Traps
As provided in our letter dated 28 November the average cost of a Tetra Trap is $760. The
contract for installation of these traps was let and priced by external contractors. The
breakdown of this cost is provided by contractors in the tendering process. Providing a
breakdown of this cost would be likely to unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of
these contractors against current and potential competitors. This part of your request is
therefore refused under s7(2)(b)(ii) of the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987.
Outcome of installing Tetra Traps on a trial basis
Council’s Healthy Waters department have commissioned an independent review of the trial
devices to evaluate the performance of a portion of the installed devices in Pakuranga.
The performance evaluation is to be carried out over a two year period and includes
catchpits, catchpit inserts and treatment devices. Healthy Waters have not received the
findings of this report therefore this information is not held by council.
Details of maintenance costs
As above, providing a breakdown of these costs would unreasonably prejudice the
commercial position of the contractors involved. This part of your request is therefore,
refused under s7(2)(b)(ii) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
1987.
