Information requested by others 26/May/2026 10:35 AM Question : What does " Comprehensive switchboard and distribution board testing" actually consist of in terms of scope? Answered on 26/May/2026 01:58 PM : This covers items such as inspection, testing, reporting and verification of switchboards, distribution boards and associated protective devices to confirm safe operation and compliance with relevant standards (AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3760). 27/May/2026 02:52 PM Question : With the schedule of rates provided the line where it has "Data cabling installation and connection" would you like a per meter rate? Answered on 28/May/2026 01:11 PM : If possible, could you please provide this as a per hour labour rate for this work, as we understand that materials and installation requirements may vary depending on the asset type and site conditions. 29/May/2026 11:09 AM Question : Can you Clarify if there is a need for professional indemnity insurance prior to tender submission. The Deed references professional indemnity insurance as "where applicable". Our experience with council work has shown this to be a requirement for design and construct projects rather than general ad hoc work. Answered on 29/May/2026 02:26 PM : For this panel arrangement, which is primarily intended for general maintenance works on an ad hoc basis, Professional Indemnity insurance is not expected to be a mandatory requirement at the time of tender submission. However, where a contractor proposes to undertake works that involve design responsibility, professional advice, or consultancy services, the relevant level of Professional Indemnity insurance will be required for those specific engagements.
