The bid made from the company which built the Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre has been assessed as the better option ahead of the only other tenderer, Zauner Construction.

Councillors will vote on Monday night to accept the recommended tender of $10.1 million from Hansen Yuncken which aims to have the project completed by May next year without any disruption to user groups including Lavington Football-Netball Club.

In the construction phase, the playing arena will be reduced to a size which still meets AFL minimum guidelines if Hansen Yuncken is the successful tenderer.

The grandstand redevelopment is the major part of the project and Hansen Yuncken plans to build it one level at a time by working in a west to east direction.

Alternatively, Zauner planned to build the four-level grandstand at the same time, but in three stages in an east to west direction.

Zauner also planned for no disruption to user groups and expected completion in January next year.

The tender assessment panel concluded the Zauner proposed construction program "appears to be inadequate" and would leave council exposed to further dramas with the project.

The panel also was concerned with the amount of work Zauner presently had on including four projects over $10 million.

In comparison, Hansen Yuncken has three job over $5 million commencing recently and the panel also felt its project personnel collectively has more experience on larger scale projects.

"The tender assessment panel deemed that Hansen Yuncken is better positioned to deliver the project based on programming, methodology, current commitments and referee feedback," the council report states.

Hansen Yuncken has an office based in Albury servicing works in regional Victoria and southern NSW.

Zauner built the Murray Art Museum Albury and the city's LibraryMuseum in recent times.

A further $3 million has been set aside for the Lavington Sportsground redevelopment as part of preliminary 2019-20 budget deliberations.

"This includes a contingency given the site constraints and the existing conditions," the council report states.

To prevent further delays a geotechnical investigation has been undertaken to reduce risks around poor soils encountered during excavation works.

Upcoming works were originally estimated to cost $8 million.
