EOI'S Open for Major Playspace Project
As the Rural City of Murray Bridge prepares to go to tender for the delivery of the Pondi Playspace at Sturt Reserve, it is also looking to ensure opportunities exist for local trades and businesses to be part of its planning and construction for the project.
While Council recognises that a project of this scale will require a Tier 1 tenderer to deliver the project in its entirety, there may be the need to sub-contract a range of services along the way. It’s here that Council wants to ensure locals with the capability have a chance to bid for this work - and as such, our project leaders have developed a process for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to be submitted for this work.
This is above and beyond the Council’s normal process for infrastructure delivery, demonstrating our commitment to support the local economy and employment.
While Council cannot confirm the exact works packages available until its Tier 1 tenderer is selected later this year, it is preparing an open EOI process that will allow local businesses (in various industries) to increase their visibility for selection if the opportunity becomes available.
Examples of works packages that may become available include:
- Civil construction
- Electrical and hydraulic services
- Landscaping
- Structures and public infrastructure
- Play and recreation
- Specialist professional services Plant and equipment
- Material supply and more
The first step in the EOI process is a brief survey that asks interested organiations a series of key questions, including the uploading of a capability statement. Following this, Council will hold an online Q&A session, facilitated by the project managers, for organisations that have submitted their EOI for the project.
Once the EOI process is complete, Council will provide prospective tenderers with the details of interested local businesses. Tenderers can then consider local capability and potential opportunities for collaboration when preparing their bids for the project.
