Supply of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Boardwalk and Viewing Platform

Overview Central Coast Council is inviting tenders for the supply of a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Boardwalk and Viewing Platform system for the Mannering Park Shared Path project (Contract Number: CPA/000769). Council is seeking an appropriate contractor for the supply and delivery of the FRP boardwalk and viewing platform system in accordance with the tendered drawings. Council intends to use this Request for Tender as the basis for entering into a contract with the preferred tenderer. The FRP boardwalk and viewing platform system is to be installed by internal Council crews. About The proposed FRP boardwalk and viewing platform will form part of the Mannering Park Shared Path project, enabling continuation of the new shared path along the foreshore of Lake Macquarie. Council is in the final stages of refining the shared path design, taking into account numerous site constraints. The tendered drawings show the current boardwalk design and extents, but this may need to be shortened and an alternate rail system may be adopted. For this reason, the contract pricing has been structured as a lump sum with provisional quantity rates for certain elements of the works, with the actual required quantities to be determined and advised to the contractor before contract award. Scope The scope of works under this contract is the supply and delivery of all materials, components, parts and fittings required to construct the FRP boardwalk and viewing platform in accordance with the tendered drawings, all other tender documentation and the manufacturer's instructions and requirements.
