Tarata Road Resilience Project Sites 4 & 6 Construction Services

New Plymouth District Council requires a suitably qualified and experienced civil contractor(s) with the capability and capacity to deliver road construction services for Sites 4 & 6 as part of the Tarata Road Resilience Programme.

The successful contractor must demonstrate both capability and capacity to complete the works using machine control technology (graders and excavators).

All physical works are required to be completed by 30 April 2026 for site 6 and by 2 February 2026 for site 4.

As part of this RFP process, Council intends to establish a shortlist of Respondents who have demonstrated the relevant experience and track record to deliver the works required for Tarata Road future sites.

The Shortlisted Respondents may be invited to participate in one or more subsequent closed Request for Proposal (RFP) processes associated to the remaining 3 Tarata Road work sites (Sites 1, 2 and 5).

We are seeking a reliable and responsible contractor with a proven track record in delivering road construction projects of similar scale and complexity to those outlined in this RFP.

Timely completion of works by 2 Feb 2026 (site 4), and 30 April 2026 (site 6) is essential. This deadline ensures delivery during the summer construction season and aligns with the broader Tarata Road Resilience Programme, which targets completion of six sites by June 2027 and reflects the community’s expectation for prompt, high-quality improvements.

The successful contractor will be expected to implement a robust methodology that adheres to road construction best practices, including:

• Use of well-maintained plant and equipment
• A healthy and well-trained workforce
• Audited safety policies and procedures that prevent incidents
