The Council of the City of Sydney ("the City") invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to carry out construction works for Jubilee Oval Upgrade in accordance with this Request for Tender.

Jubilee Oval is located within Jubilee Park, Glebe, near Victoria Street and is accessed from Dalgal Way, along Johnstons Creek and below the light rail viaduct.

The Oval is low lying, and the western side is subject to backwatering from Johnsons Creek, which is adjacent to the Oval, during high tides. In its current condition the oval does not drain effectively resulting in waterlogging for extended periods after significant rainfall.

The City plans to upgrade the Oval to improve drainage.
