New Zealand - 3668 - Whangarei to Wellsford (Central) (Southern) - Professional Services

Description

The Safe Network Programme has an objective to save up to 160 deaths and serious injuries every year across New Zealand’s highest risk state highways and local roads. The $1.3–1.5 billion investment within the 2018-21 NLTP, signals Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s commitment to making our roads safer.
Waka Kotahi wishes to advise interested parties of its intention to go to market to procure two consultant teams for the delivery of the pre-implementation professional services for the Whangarei to Wellsford central (including Waipu intersections) and southern sections.
These safety improvement projects involve the construction of:
• Median barrier (with associated shoulder widening and turnaround facilities);
• Roadside barrier;
• Wide centreline treatments;
• Intersection improvements.
Further information on the projects are provided in the attached advanced notice.
The scope will vary for the project lengths within each section, but could include:
• Detailed design;
• Consenting;
• Support for communications and engagement activities;
• Support for property acquisition activities;
• Preparation of physical works tender documents;
• Tender process management; and
• Tender evaluator / advisor services.
Under this advanced notice mechanism, Waka Kotahi is seeking registration of interest from consultants with the capability and capacity to deliver these services. Through the procurement process, Waka Kotahi is looking to engage two consultant teams – one for each section.
