Cobar Shire Council proposes to expand Community Infrastructure in the Village of Euabalong with the development of a “River Walk” – a new concrete pathway along the banks of the Lachlan River on the Village’s south-eastern margin. Euabalong is located in the far south-east of the Cobar Shire Council local government area, beside the Lachlan River, approximately 230 kms south of Cobar and 530 kms west of Sydney.

In summary the scope of works includes the design and construction of the following elements:

•approximately 500m of 1.8m wide concrete pathways

•seating and picnic tables at 3 x selected points along the pathway

•bollards, or other vehicle control measures (where needed to exclude unauthorized vehicles from driving along or crossing the pathway)

•short pedestrian footbridge (planned as a prefabricated or modular bridge) over a concave drainage gutter

•way finding/orientation and advisory signage

•the installation of road safety signs, warning of pedestrians, on Lachlan Valley Way (within and just beyond the boundary of the subject site);

This River Walk project is a design and construction package. The contractor will be required to provide council with drawings and supporting information for the scope of works as described in this document.

A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) has been developed and approved for this project.

As part of the quotation process it is expected that the contractor will attend the site and clarify the scope of works and site constraints on-site prior to submitting a quotation. The designs will need to be approved by Council before commencing with construction phase.

To submit a conforming quotation the contractor must price each of the items as described in the Bill of Quantities. Council may amend the scope of works as required to fit within the available budget.

Time for commencement: mid-March 2024.

Time for completion: end of April 2024
