Queensland Hydro is seeking a suitably qualified Dams Designer to advance our Borumba Pumped Hydro Project. The successful RFP Proponent(s) will partner with Queensland Hydro to progress the designs of the Upper and Lower Reservoirs and assist in the process of engaging Dam Construction Partners. They will then work collaboratively with Queensland Hydro and the respective Dam Construction Partners to deliver the reservoirs, hence locally based design resources will be required.

The Dams Designer RFP package requires the Dams Designer to provide their understanding, approach and corresponding price for undertaking the scope of works, as outlined below, for either the Lower or Upper Reservoirs (or both), totalling seven dam structures and appurtenant works (excluding power waterways). Dams Designers should consider their experience in the design of RCC and CFRD dam types, ability to demonstrate resourcing capacity to delivery this number of dams and preparation of Dam Safety Management Systems.

The works will comprise four Separable Portions for each reservoir and include:

• Progressing the Front-End Engineering Design to IFT
• Supporting Queensland Hydro in obtaining a Dam Contractor(s)
• Progressing the IFT Design to IFC
• Providing Construction Phase Services.
