REPORT
As part of the Council’s 2014/2015 Bus Stop upgrade program, designs are nearing completion
for the upgrading of 15 bus stops in the coastal area. The locations for these upgrades were
based on a combination of demand versus replacement of deteriorated infrastructure.

It is proposed to enter into two separate contracts for the delivery of the works at each of the 15
stop locations. This contract separation is required due to the tight construction programming
and the development of the unique rural and coastal style shelters, running in parallel. The two
contracts will be as follows:

1.                        Ground works to achieve Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliance, namely a
                          concrete pad with tactile indicators at suitable levels, associated nominal pathways, J pole
                          and rubbish bin; and
2.                        Erection of the bus shelter as a drop in single unit.

                                                                                                           Page 3 of 33
