Western Bay of Plenty District Council (Western Bay) wishes to build a new wharf at Matakana Inland, Tauranga and wishes to procure services for the project in two stages. The first stage is the provision of services for Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and the second stage is the provision of services for the main physical works.

Key deliverables for stage 1 (Early Contractor Involvement):

• Input into design & technical specifications.

• Development / refinement of construction methodology and programme of work.

• Development / refinement of the Schedule of Prices.

Key deliverables for stage 2 (Physical Works):

• Construction of a 45m long x 2m wide wharf, with 3-4m wide stairs, and if affordable, a pontoon and gangway.

This Request for Tender (RFT) process will enable Western Bay to select a suitable supplier for the delivery of both Stage 1 and Stage 2. A contract commitment will initially be made for Stage 1 only, with award of contract for Stage 2 being dependent on the satisfactory performance in Stage 1 and agreed pricing.
