What we need
Carterton District Council is upgrading its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to meet the conditions of a new resource consent. The council is inviting tenders from suitably experienced contractors for the installation of new pipework and pumps to supply the new reservoirs and include the pipeline and outfall structure to the Mangatarere Stream. Specialist industry skills are expected for wastewater reticulation and drain laying and butt fusion skills. All pipework will be hydrostatically tested and as builts produced on CAD. We are looking for a successful supplier to be responsible for on-site contract management, Health, and Safety, Traffic Management, and all insurances. NZS3910:2013 Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering construction will apply.

What's important to us
Carterton District Council (CDC) has a long term vision to improve freshwater quality by removing treated urban wastewater effluent from streams. The community expects that quality, fit for purpose infrastructure and services that are cost effective and meet future needs are provided. This is achieved through managing assets, good planning, providing the basis of management, legislative, financial, engineering and technical practices to ensure that we deliver on the community's expectations at an optimum cost. Therefore the council is looking for the best value for money from suppliers who have the capability, experience and qualified staff to deliver what is needed. You must have a good track record and relevant experience. Refer to contract specific pre-conditions in Section 3.

Why should you bid?
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a significant resilience project. Building local business relationships and a potential opportunity to up skill your workforce and perhaps employ locally. This is a local solution to meet local needs with huge benefits to the community providing sustainable wastewater treatment into the future.

A bit about us
For decades, nearly all of the Carterton District wastewater has been discharged from its treatment plant into Mangatarere Stream, the Carterton long-term plan is to progressively reduce the amount discharged to stream and increase the proportion discharged to land. This project will directly protect and improve the water quality in the Mangatarere Stream.
