The scope of the proposed contract will include all design, supply, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning activities required for upgrade of the Nowergup Depot I&M Building to facilitate Maintenance of the C-Series railcars.

The scope of the proposed contract will include all design, supply, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning activities required for upgrade of the Nowergup Depot I&M Building to facilitate Maintenance of the C-Series railcars, unless otherwise noted, including:

• Demobilisation of the existing 3-car lifting system and overhead crane on the heavy maintenance road

• Demolition of existing walkways and ramps to join the existing north and south pitted pedestal rail areas of the light maintenance roads
• OLE modifications associated with the monorail crane install
• Office refurbishment works, and
• Various modifications and upgrades to associated infrastructure in and around the I&M Building to ensure the facility is fit-for-purpose for maintenance of the C-Series and meets modern requirements for rollingstock depot infrastructures

As a design and construct contract, the scope will involve two distinct areas of work:

Design and Engineering

• Iterative development of a detailed design in accordance with applicable Australian Standards, international standards, PTA Specifications, and other technical and operational requirements including Alstom requirements,
• All activities required for compliance of the design and the construction works to Engineering Management for Projects (EM4P),
• Technical services required for the Project such as design verification, construction phase technical support, quality inspections, commissioning, and entry into service,
• Provision of as-constructed drawings and O&M documentation.

Construction and Commissioning

• Procurement of all materials, plant, equipment, labour and other resources necessary to complete the on-site works at Nowergup,
• Coordination with Alstom during construction to minimise impacts, and with the B-Maintainer for any early access or inspection requirements,
• Testing and commissioning of all works and systems,
• Integration with existing systems and facilities,
• Rectification of defects during the defects liability period.

In addition to the design and construction activities, the Contractor’s management of the works will also be a key obligation under the Contract and will include:

• Preparation of project plans and various documentation,
• Management of safety and quality,
• Planning and management of safe access to the live rail environment,
• Obtaining all third party approvals such as local council, DFES, etc. as needed,
• Reporting on Project progress and stakeholder engagement.

A concept design and delivery options analysis has been completed by the PTA to inform the detailed design and construction activities to be undertaken by the Contractor. This concept design and delivery options analysis is included as part of Book 4 Scope of Works and Specification and is intended to be included in the Proposed Contract as the preliminary design.

For more details, refer to Book 4 Scope of Works and Specification of the Request (including the various attachments provide therewith) which will form the basis of Schedule 18 (Principal’s Project Requirements) of Annexure Part G of the Proposed Contract.
