North East Water has identified the need for a new 2.2ML Concrete Drinking Water Tank in the township of Baranduda, Victoria.

The project will consist of the design and construction of:

• A roofed concrete tank of 2.2ML volume,
• associated access structures,
• pipework connecting to existing water main in close vicinity of project site,
• Remote monitoring equipment

An existing tank at the location is due for demolition prior to this engagement.

North East Water is completing a functional design that will be issued as part of an RfT seeking to engage a Principal Contractor under a design and construct contract to deliver this project.

North East Water requires Contractors that have a supplier management system that is fully certified by a certifying body against one of the standards / assurance systems listed by both the Department of Treasury (DTF) & Finance and Worksafe. A detailed guide on the mandatory OHS management criteria is available on the DTF’s Practitioners Toolkit – Document library page.

Tenderers must have one of the following approved OHS assurance systems that is independently certified/audited for currency, to be considered eligible to participate in this tender:

(a) ‘Safety Map’

(c) Civil Contractors Federation Management Code

(d) Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme

(e) ISO 45001 2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

North East Water encourages Contractors to undertake the DTF’s prequalification process to enable registration for construction and/or construction related services on the Construction Contractors Register. The Victorian Government and Public bodies such as North East Water may use the Construction Contractors Register to create shortlists of Contractors to invite to submit tenders for Public Construction and Construction Related Services.

Note this is a forward tender notice only. Further details will be provided when the RfT is released. Please be aware North East Water will not be engaging individual suppliers for this project. Purchasing of components and products will be completed by the Contractor(s) who will be the successful tenderer(s), winning bidder details will be uploaded to the Buying for Victoria Website post tender evaluation.
