Project Background - 3 Landslip sites (Part A)

To restore the Nepean River Walk to its former glory and prevent future damage, a comprehensive engineering solution is proposed: the installation of gabion retaining walls. These robust structures, ranging from two to four meters in height, will provide essential support to the eroded slopes and effectively mitigate the risk of further landslides. Part A would ideally need to be completed prior to bridge and footpath restoration works (part B). Please ensure this is reflected in your methodology and program of works.

Project Background: Peachtree Creek Boardwalk Bridge Repair (Part B)

The existing boardwalk bridge across Peachtree Creek, situated adjacent to the Nepean River weir, has sustained significant damage due to recent severe storm events. This project aims to repair the damaged gabion supports and restore the bridge to its original condition.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

The severe storms of 2022 inflicted significant damage to the Nepean River Walk near the Nepean River Weir in Penrith. Three distinct locations along the walkway experienced substantial landslips, compromising the structural integrity of the path and posing a serious threat to public safety.

A site visit will be held on Tuesday 28 January 2025 at 9:00am. Please meet at Bruce Neale Drive and we will walk to the site.

Contractors are able to visit the site at any time, however, the site visit will be an opportunity for contractors to visit the site with the project manager and ask any questions they may have about the site or the tender. All questions will be recorded on the day so that any contractor unable to attend the site visit can access the questions and answers as an Addendum which will be uploaded to Vendorpanel after the site visit. If there are any technical questions asked on the day which require further information to be sought by the Project Manager, these questions and answers will also be issued as Addendums as soon as the correct information has been obtained.

If tenderers have any further enquiries, please send them through Vendorpanel where an Addendum will be issued in response.
