Peak Crossing Transfer Station – Office and Amenities upgrade
Tender Overview
About this tender
Scenic Rim Regional Council (‘Council’ or ‘Principal’) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified contractors to develop and finalise a design, obtain the building approvals and permits, and construct a new office and amenities building including associated electrical and hydraulic services for staff managing the Peak Crossing Transfer Station. The works are to be delivered on a design and construct basis, with the successful Contractor responsible for design, all regulatory approvals, construction, commissioning and handover. The works replace the existing demountable building and associated services. The scope also includes the supply and installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery system to service the facility through a locally nominated electrical subcontractor. Council has established a maximum contract budget of $330,000 (excluding GST) for delivery of this project. Tenderers are encouraged to submit a proposal that delivers the best possible outcome within this budget. Where the full scope of works cannot be accommodated within the budget limit, Tenderers must clearly identify those items that cannot be included and provide separately itemised pricing for each in Part E – Pricing Schedule, so that Council can make an informed decision on inclusions at the time of award.
