Wellington City Council (WCC) are seeking a suitably qualified supplier to submit a tender for the Wellington Waterfront Safety Enhancements: Lighting project, limited to the Taranaki Street Wharf and Te Papa Promenade.

The project includes the installation and commissioning of WCC supplied light poles and pole mounted luminaires, and the supply, installation, and commissioning of lighting and pole power outlet control systems along Taranaki St Wharf and Te Papa Promenade on the Wellington Waterfront; including supply and installation of under-wharf structural pole footings and under-wharf electrical infrastructure.

We require a Prime Supplier who has specialist knowledge and a proven track record of successfully delivering projects with similar requirements, including both structural and electrical installations in a marine environment.

We are seeking responses from Suppliers who are competent, experienced, and confidently able to deliver the project in a professional and timely manner; and be able to work collaboratively with WCC to minimise disruption to the public and operations on Wellington Waterfront.

Respondents must have a good track record in the supply and installation of light poles, pole mounted luminaires and lighting control systems in busy, public open spaces with high levels of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and experience in structural and electrical installations in a marine environment including under-wharf installations.

Note that all design work including structural pole footings and lighting and electrical designs; design, specification, and selection of poles, luminaires, and lighting control systems have been completed already and are outside the scope of this RFT.

WCC will supply the poles and luminaires (note: pole supply includes pole-specific mounting clamps) for this opportunity, however the requirement for Supplier receipt, storage, insurance, and delivery of these to site is in scope of this tender.
