Piako River Mouth Right Bank Asset Rationalisation Stage 2 Earthworks

⁠⁠⁠Waikato Regional Council (the Council) invites tenders for the Piako River Mouth Right Bank Asset Rationalisation Stage 2 Earthworks project. This Tender is for creation of a 13,000m3 capacity water quality pond, 1150m of new drainage channel, upgrading 1450m of existing drainage channel, shifting 95m of existing stopbank and completing the discharge channel connection to the Piako River. The work site is adjacent Shelly Beach Road, Pipiroa.

Council is looking for credible contractors who have the capacity, capability, experience and resources to deliver this project on time and within budget. Contractors need to have a good track record on health and safety and environmental management.

Funding for these projects has largely been provided by MBIE as part of the COVID19 economic recovery “Shovel Ready” stimulus. The funding is a special measure initiated by MBIE aimed to stimulate the economy and provide opportunity to develop a skilled workforce in the area where it is granted. As such, the Contractor is encouraged to provide a tender submission which utilises local suppliers/sub-contractors and promotes employment and skill development of individuals local to the region or project area. More details are provided in the RFT.
