In order to alleviate flood pressure on the Rangitaiki River, the river scheme includes a bypass floodway that transports some (190m3/s) of the river’s floodwater down an alternative channel via the Rangitaiki Spillway. The spillway is located at 266 Hydro Road, Edgecumbe and needs to be upgraded to allow for the consented bypass flow. We seek to shortlist three contractors to submit a Request for Tender (RFT) later this year who can undertake civil works associated with the construction of the primary concrete and associated cut‐off walls for a new gated spillway structure and overflow earth weir located along the Rangitāiki River as part of the Rangitāiki Spillway upgrade.
This package of works is known as Contract Package 1 (CP1). The supply of mechanical and electrical works associated with the project will be managed separately though Contract Package 2 (CP2).
