Tender awarded for pedestrian underpass

Gosford Council has awarded a tender for the construction of a pedestrian underpass of the Main Northern Railway Line at Rawson Rd, Woy Woy.

Lump sum tenders were called for the construction of a precast and cast in situ concrete underpass and approach ramps between Waterview St and Railway St, through the RailCorp Corridor.

Four tenders were received and the tender submitted by Civilbuild Pty Ltd of Redhead was accepted.

All tenders were assessed based on the criteria of assessment included in the tender documents and involved consideration of the price, financial details, insurances, contract program, management and staff resources, sub-contractors, physical resources, current commitments, quality assurance, workplace health and safety, environmental management, referees, previous experience, partnership, plant rates, labour rates, minor non-conformances and industrial relations.

The report to Council by director corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky said Civilbuild presented the best value to Council as its tender comparison and assessment indicated that it ranked highly against all stated criteria.

Civilbuild operated in the "road, rail and precast concrete for commercial and industrial works" sector and recently completed the bridge over the Main Northern Rail Line at Singleton for Liddell Coal Operations to the value of $6 million.

Civilbuild is currently undertaking the replacement of two road bridges and two footbridges for the Upper Hunter Shire Council to the value of $1.5 million.
