Council is seeking to engage a contractor to design a like-for-like replacement controller/switch boards at Council’s three pool facilities. All three are in a position where they have high exposure to chemicals. For this reason, we are requesting high corrosion resistant materials are to be used.

We propose all new switchboard units be floor mounted and powder coated aluminium, if you can suggest a better material to withstand the chemical exposure, we welcome suggestions.

All drawings are to be completed and supplied to Council in a suitable format with relevant information to ensure the engaged electrician can deliver the project on site. They are to ensure RCD coverage.

Biloela Pool Facility (Rainbow Street, Biloela)

The current controller board, pictures attached, controls 50m pool pump, filtration and sanitation. It is currently outdated and in a state of disrepair, non-compliant and has some tripping issues.

Taroom Pool Facility (Yaldwyn Street, Taroom)

The current main switchboard has reached its useful end of life. The board currently services the kiosk area, and the filtration, sanitation and pumps. Council is considering relocation of the board (within the same building) as it does not meet current specifications. The current board may contain asbestos. It is likely that Ergon smart meters will be installed rather than the existing infrastructure.

Moura Pool Facility (Davey Street, Moura)

The current controller board, pictures attached, controls 25m & 50m pool pump, filtration and sanitation, and a 25m heating system. The board is currently outdated and in a state of disrepair, non-compliant and has some tripping issues.

If you require a site visit or further videos/photos of the current set up, please contact Council.

 Please include travel and accommodation if a visit to the pool is required as part of the design process.

All designs must comply with Competitive Metering Industry Groups' National Metering Installation Requirements (MIRs), and AS/NZS 3000.

This request is only for the design of the replacement switchboards
