Carterton District Council

What we need

The objective of the contract works is the renewal of approximately 650 meters of wastewater reticulation and associated infrastructure in Dalefield Road, Carterton.

The council is inviting tenders from suitably experienced drainage contractors for the installation of the new wastewater main and service laterals, including the installation of new manholes. Specialist industry skills are expected for wastewater reticulation and in particular drain laying skills.

All pipework and manholes will be tested and as-built information produced in CAD format to the council's specified standards. 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 for this contract.

Please note that it is anticipated the actual construction on site is not expected to commence until the start of summer 2021. This recognizes that contractors are extremely busy due to the disruptions of Covid 19 and this will allow them sufficient time to arrange the necessary consents, program the works, and obtain the necessary materials to complete the project.

What's important to us

Carterton District Council (CDC) would like the project completed by the 30th of April 2022.
CDC has a long-term vision to improve the wastewater network to provide for future growth in the community and to reduce the excessive levels of stormwater infiltration into the network, which impacts the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant. 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.

Why should you bid?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a significant project in Carterton and is Stage 1 of a program to renew the wastewater reticulation between the wastewater treatment plant in Dalefield Road and the intersection of High Street and Pembroke Street over progressive years. Building local business relationships and a potential opportunity to upskill your workforce and perhaps employ locally. This is a local solution to meet local needs with huge benefits to the community providing sustainable wastewater services into the future.
