“Lower Murray Water" (LMW) seeks to engage suitably qualified suppliers to provide Pipeline Materials on the LMW Sunraysia Water Efficiency Project.

SWEP Project Overview

The SWEP is a $37.9 million program of works to improve the efficiency and longevity of the channel network in the Mildura, Red Cliffs and Merbein districts through undertaking works to reduce losses and remove redundant assets. The scope of works includes lining existing channels, replacing channels with pipelines, rationalising redundant meter outlets, and installing new flowmeters on stock and domestic services. Construction works started in 2023 and will be completed over a two-year period.

Project Specific Information

LMW is seeking to engage a supplier to provide pipe and fittings for pipelines that form part of the Winter Works 2024 (which includes approximately 1.2km of channel to pipeline replacement works). Piping is expected to range from DN900 to DN1600 of either HDPE or GRP material. Length required may be up to 2.2km as there is a possibility of twin pipes for a significant portion of the pipeline works. The supply of the items/goods will require but is not necessarily limited to the following:

• Compliance with LMW specifications, data-sheets and drawings
• Factory acceptance testing and Site acceptance testing
• Quality assurance documentation prior to delivery to site of units
• After-sales product support
• Onsite rectification/support of any product faults where/when required
• Compliance with Australian Standards and all other applicable standards
• Approval from SWEP for any deviations prior to modifications
