Tender Overview
About this tender
Mildura Rural City Council is seeking tender responses from contractors to undertake the design development, fabrication and installation of this custom play element, ensuring that it delivers high play value, safety, durability and compliance with relevant standards. The procurement is structured to allow for early contractor engagement and design resolution, with defined hold points for Council review and approval of the initial design, spatial footprint, safety envelopes and engineering details prior to progression to fabrication. Delivery of the works will occur in coordination with a separately procured lead contractor responsible for the main play space construction works, who will manage site establishment, program integration, access and WHS. The successful Supplier will be required to coordinate closely with the lead contractor to ensure seamless integration of the Paddle Steamer and ropes course into the broader project.
