Transport for NSW (TfNSW) invites suitably qualified and experienced entities to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) Application to be considered for a shortlist to tender for the construction of the Kamay Ferry Wharves Project (the Project).

The Project scope includes the reinstatement of multi-user wharves at La Perouse and Kurnell to accommodate passenger ferries, tourism related commercial vessels and recreational vessels.

The Project will create waterborne access to the Kamay Botany Bay National Park for passenger ferries, tourism related commercial vessels and recreational vessels. Improved maritime accessibility to the Park is expected to increase visitation, reinstate access to Country for the local Aboriginal community and transform the Park into an iconic tourism destination resulting in numerous social, cultural, economic and tourism benefits to communities on either side of Botany Bay.

The wharves will each generally comprise of an approach jetty from land leading to a fixed ramp structure located at the end of the jetty that enables accessible vessel boarding under all tide conditions. The wharf structures will generally consist of steel tubular piles supporting concrete headstocks and a composite concrete deck. The scope of works also includes associated infrastructure to support the operation of each wharf including a sheltered passenger waiting area, reconfigured and new car parking and drop off zones, tie-in landscaping, and other ancillary items such as wharf furniture, utilities, lighting and security provisions.

The contracting model will be a construct only contract (the Contract) whereby the successful tenderer will be required to construct the Project in accordance with the TfNSW supplied detailed design and a C2-GC21 form of contract.

To procure this Contract, TfNSW proposes to enter into a two-phased competitive tender process with the market. Tendering will be by invitation only from those who submit a ROI Application and are shortlisted to tender for the Contract.
