Delivery method and project timing


12 | 12 |

Delivery method

• Range of delivery models assessed

• ‘Design and Construct’ (D&C)

approved

– Potential for acceleration of project

delivery

– Potential for innovation and cost savings

• Contract type - Early Contractor

Involvement (ECI)

– Two-stage tender

– Shortlisted tenderers involved in design.


13 |

Concept or ‘reference’ design scope

• 14km section of

Bruce Highway

• New high-level, wider

Haughton River Bridge

• Many other bridges

• Overpass of Shirbourne

Road and Hodel Road cane

tramways

• ‘Fixed’ corridor to fit design.


14 |

Concept or ‘reference’ design scope

• Property resumptions

commenced

• Some geotechnical

investigations completed

• Public utility plant (PUP) –

Ergon, Telstra, Sunwater

(Contractor to relocate)

• Specify standards to be

achieved – flooding-closure

times, afflux, environmental

mitigation and so on.


15 | 15 |

Delivery timing - indicative

• Allows accelerated start date – construction brought forward from

April 2019 to August 2018

• Due to some overlap in design and construction phases

• Indicative start date – usually six months’ design before

construction

• Contractor controls start date – incentive to maximise dry

season.

Project issues and delivery packaging


19 | 19 |

Key issues – overview

• Hydraulics – One of the most

complex hydraulic environments

in Queensland

– Need to avoid moving or worsening

adjacent flooding (afflux)

– Very sensitive to any infrastructure

changes

• Geotechnical – settlement issues

for embankments at northern end

• Constructability – construction

impacts must be managed

through two to three wet seasons.


20 | 20 |

Key issues – project packaging

Packaging options investigated

• Four packages – Very high risk

Hydraulic – High level of interdependence

within southern and northern sections

• Two packages – High risk

– Hydraulic - Potential for overflow from southern

section to northern section during construction

(damage to one contractor’s works)

– Geotechnical - Settlement period needed for

embankments on northern end, before construction

– Constructability – Settlement requirements constrain

work that could be done on northern section.

• One package – Best able to manage risks.


Considered risks to

• Adjacent landowners

• Contractors

Tender requirements


22 | 22 |

Tender requirements

• Satisfy Queensland Charter of Local Content

• 40% Non-Price Selection Criteria based on Contractor

Capability including

– Internal delivery processes

– Claims and issues management

– Local participation

– Equality of employment opportunity (EEO).


23 | 23 |

Local participation

• Potential for local employment

• Advice from major contractors – need to employ locally to reduce relocation costs

• No separate early works packages in tender

• Likely to be plenty of sub-contracting opportunities

• Cattle and Frances Creeks project example – local suppliers notified of shortlisted tenderers

• Tender requirement – case study demonstrating the contractor’s approach to engaging and monitoring participation of local residents, including personnel, key suppliers and key sub-contractors.


24 | 24 |

Diversity and inclusion

• Tender requirement - current

Equality of Employment

Opportunity (EEO) statistics and

description of planned EEO

actions for the project which

– enable members of the EEO target

groups to compete for recruitment,

selection, promotion and transfer and to

pursue careers, as effectively as people

who are not members of those groups

– eliminate unlawful discrimination about

employment matters by the company or

its employees against members of the

EEO target groups.


• Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander people

• people who have

migrated to Australia

and whose first

language is a language

other than English, and

the children of those

people

• people who have or

have had a disability

• women.

The Queensland

Government EEO target

groups are:
