Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT) is welcoming proposals for a full exterior repaint and associated timber repair of Antrim House (“the Project”).

An attached brief provides the summary framework for the Project. For further detailed information about the Project and all aspects of the proposed work, please see the Antrim House “Exterior Painting: Outline Scope of Work & Specification,” 8 May 2023 and associated drawings (“the Scope”).

Briefly, the scope of the Project is the complete re-painting of the exterior walls and trims of Antrim House, including repair and re-coating of the liquid-applied membrane decking, and repainting the ground floor timber deck.

The painting preparation involves completely stripping paint off all parts of the building, excluding the new metal roofing and the new lead dome atop the tower, along with the shingle roof and exterior walls of the tower, the walls of the first-floor hallway extension, and the top-level fascia boards, which have all recently been taken back to bare timber.

Carpentry work is required to carry out timber repairs and other repairs (including the installation of new flashings and repair of old flashings) as needed to put the envelope into sound condition for the completion of the painting work.

This RFP is a single-step procurement process through the Government Electronic Tender Service. HNZPT would appreciate a fixed price for as much of the project as possible with provisional sums provided where appropriate and/or necessary.

Interested contractors will provide a written proposal including:

• Detailed pricing breakdown for this work, including relevant hourly rates.

• Detailed programme/timeline – note: shorter programmes that still allow for full and quality completion the Project may be given a degree of preference. Our preference is for work to commence soon after 1 July 2023.

• Confirmation that the company holds the required insurances as outlined in the contract.

• Please provide a basic Construction Management Plan that describes how you will manage the site and the work (e.g. who is based on site, key personnel, including subcontractors, and their roles).

• List of subcontractors.
