EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the appointment of the preferred contractor for the
Kinmond Creek Road – Sandy Creek & Eastern Branch Creek culvert and road capital
reconstruction project.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Project Coordinator to the General Committee Meeting dated
15 May 2017 and award tender 1617T112 Kinmond Creek Road – Sandy Creek & Eastern
Branch Creek culvert and road capital reconstruction project to Carruthers Contracting Pty Ltd
(Carruthers) for the lump sum price of $1,601,732.81 (excluding GST).


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to seek approval to proceed with the preferred tenderer for the
Kinmond Creek Road – Sandy Creek & Eastern Branch Creek culvert and road construction to
commence in the 2017/18 financial year.

The existing helcoil culverts beneath Kinmond Creek Road, crossing Sandy and Eastern Branch
creeks have deteriorated and are currently load limited to prevent potential collapse of the road
surface. This project involves the replacement of these failing drainage structures with a series of
precast reinforced box culverts, scour protection, concrete floodway works and reconstruction of
690m of Kinmond Creek Road’s pavement through insitu stabilisation.

1.                       Design

Detailed design, review and documentation of the Kinmond Creek road works was undertaken
with the intent of minimising disruption to adjacent property owners and the surrounding
environment.

2.                       Construction Management and Inspections

Contract administration, management, engineering certification, and inspections will be
performed by an external consultant. These services were tendered separately via Vendorpanel
which closed on the 13 April 2017, with one conforming response received.
