What the buyer is requesting Details Hinchinbrook Shire Council (the Principal) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the demolition and removal of structures located at 7–17 Herbert Street, Ingham QLD, as described in detail in Part 5 – Scope. This Request for Tender (RFT) is issued in response to regulatory action undertaken by Council under the Building Act 1975 (Qld), following inspections and professional assessments which identified that the buildings and associated structures on the site are in a dangerous, dilapidated condition and unfit for use or occupation. Independent building certification and structural engineering inspections have confirmed the presence of significant structural deterioration, including failed structural elements, water ingress, foundation movement, and collapse of internal components. These conditions present a risk to public safety and surrounding properties. Accordingly, Council has issued statutory notices to the property owner requiring remedial action, including demolition of the affected structures. This RFT seeks to establish pricing, capability, and availability of contractors to undertake the required works should Council elect to carry out the demolition in default of the owner. Respondents should note that: • This procurement process does not guarantee engagement; • Any resulting contract will only be activated at Council’s discretion, subject to legislative enforcement outcomes; and • The works are to be undertaken in a manner that ensures public safety, environmental compliance, and full adherence to all statutory and regulatory requirements, including hazardous materials management. The Principal seeks Responses from contractors with demonstrated experience in complex demolition works, including asbestos removal, site remediation, and works within constrained urban environments.
