Urban Water Renewals 2022-2024

⁠⁠⁠ This work is for five (5) Separable Portions of Urban Water Renewal work to be completed over the 2022-2023 financial year and the 2023-2024 financial year (01 July to 30 June).
Cost fluctuations (for materials only) will be paid in the second year of the contract i.e. 01 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 and will be done on an open book basis using the sub-trade rates from the tender as the baseline. The successful contractor will need to provide these rates once the contract has been awarded to them. The Separable Portions that will be awarded in the first year of the contract will be decided once tender prices have been received and can be matched to the available budget. These Separable Portions will be advised to the successful contractor at the time of tender award so that first year materials can be ordered at tendered rates.
