We wish to engage a construction company to carry out an upgrade of the Waverley Volunteer Fire Station including an extension from the appliance bay for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) lockers, internal door relocations, construction of smoke separation walls, installation of a monitored fire alarm system and internal decorating. We will require a priced option from the contractor to replace the roof and replace the electrical board, which will be included if budget and tender prices align.

The Waverley fire station is a small single-bay fire station that is positioned in a key strategic location on state highway 3. The station is generally kept tidy but is very dated and needs a refresh on the interior which this procurement relates to, along with creating a better and safer environment for our volunteers. The building is located at 5 Bear Street, Waverley.

Inclusions

• Construct a new PPE locker room alongside the appliance bay.

• Continue selected walls to the underside of the roofing iron for newly dedicated smoke separation walls.

• Move selected internal doorways and close existing openings.

• Relocate existing lockers into the new locker room.

• Install a new fire alarm system.

• All documentation and filing for code of compliance.

• New electrical DB board and generator inlets. A separate quote is complete and will be added if the budget allows.

• New roof flashings as part of the tender however we want a separate quote to replace the entire roof which will be added if the budget allows.

The fire station will remain operational for the duration of the project works. The Successful Respondent will liaise with our Project Manager and brigade leadership team to ensure a mutually agreeable project plan is formulated and maintained enabling the project to flow seamlessly while minimising the disturbance to brigade operations. Based on the scope of this project this could be achieved by the fire appliances being parked outside each day and brought back in.
