North East Water will be issuing a Selective Tender to engage a suitable qualified Principal Contractor to remediate three manholes and one wet well at South Road Sewer Pump Station (SPS) in Yarrawonga.

The manholes and SPS well are currently suffering from Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) concrete corrosion. The SPS well and manholes are to be relined with a cured-in-place epoxy liner to protect the structures from further H2S corrosion. As part of these works a temporary bypass will be required to be installed by the Principal Contractor for the remediation works.

North East Water requires a Principal Contractor that must 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.

For Tenders under $500k the tenderer must be able to demonstrate compliance with the DTF’s 12-point evaluation criteria. A detailed guide on the mandatory OHS management criteria is available on the DTF’s Practitioners Toolkit – Document library page.
