What we need

The Mackenzie District Council is wishing to procure a contractor/s for two contracts: one to construct new trail formation and the other to construct the required structures, for a new trail along the east side of Lake Pukaki, to become the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail. The objective is for this new off-road trail to replace the need for cyclists to use Hayman Rd alongside other traffic. The Council is looking for Contractors with both the experience, skills, capability and capacity to provide trail formation and structures to a specified high standard whilst ensuring public money is spent wisely.

This Registration of Interest will be used to:

1. Select three to four companies who shall be invited to submit a price and methodology for each of the Trail Formation and Structures contracts.

2. Refine contract documentation prior to requesting a price.

3. Eliminate potential suppliers who do not have the necessary experience, skills, capability or capacity to provide the specified services.

The respondent is open to submit a registration of interest for both areas: trail formation and structures or either one.

What we don’t want

We do not want responses from Contractors who have no experience or track record in backcountry (or rural) trail or structure construction.

We don’t require methodology or price information at this time.
