Tender Description

Council is seeking Tenders from suitably qualified and capable contractors for the construction of the drainage outfalls at Gresswell Forest at Gresswell Forest located at Bundoora, VIC 3083.

 
Gresswell Forest Nature Conservation Reserve (NCR) forms the headwaters of Salt Creek and is the only remaining relatively intact sample of River red gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis dominated woodland over a grassy understory in the Melbourne metropolitan region. It also has a range of rare and endangered flora and fauna.
 
The NCR is managed by Parks Victoria, and shares borders with the Cities of Banyule and Darebin. Both Councils’ residential/industrial stormwater drains discharge directly into the reserve.  These drains have no WSUD treatment and there is resultant damage to the reserve in the form of erosion, water logging, input of urban pollutants, litter & weeds. 
 
This project entails WSUD asset construction (sediment pond, vegetated swale and wetland) at two Council drainage outfalls in the Gresswell Forest. 
 
The scope of works generally includes but is not limited to construction activities involving:
 
  • Mobilisation and site establishment.
  • Set out of works.
  • Ensuring the works are undertaken safely and in accordance with all Council, Melbourne Water and statutory safety requirements.
  • Location and protection of any and all underground and above ground services in the works area.
  • Confirm in situ geotechnical conditions.
  • All activities associated with the construction of the WSUD assets.
  • Inspection and testing of the works.
  • Sediment and erosion protection.
  • Protection of works from flooding, and temporary management of groundwater and stormwater water ingress/egress.
  • Management of spoil and topsoil stockpiles and fill material borrow areas and associated sediment and erosion protection.
  • Construction fencing and ancillary works.
  • Documentation of as-constructed information including all inspections, testing and survey.
  • Demobilisation and site clean-up.
