Lower Murray Water is seeking to engage a suitably qualified Principal Contractor under a Design and Construct (D&C) contract for the construction of a new town water booster pump skid and switchboard located at Ranfurly Way, Merbein. This asset is used in high demand periods to supplement the supply provided from the Mildura reticulation. The existing pump station switchboard is fitted with PLC, RTU, radio and 4 VSD's, all of which have reached end of life. There's a full replacement of the pump set which consists of 4 pumps on a duty/assist/assist/standby arrangement. The upgrade will remain in the existing footprint of the pump station.

This project is scheduled for May/June 2025 delivery due to the redundant nature of the pump station in the winter months.

The contractor will be responsible for all associated works, including but not limited to the following:

* Detailed Design and Build of the switchboard and pump skid

* Demolition of existing infrastructure

* Modifications to existing infrastructure and new connections - including new conduit and cabling as required

* All connections associated with installation

* Delivery to site on ground
