Hutchinson Builders tender submission is favourable as they have significant previous experience
with the design and construct delivery method, an excellent track record with similar projects, they
are more than capable and have the necessary resources to meet Council’s program to complete
these works by the 24th November 2017.

4.    Programme & Next Steps

Pending Council approval, Hutchinson Builders propose to construct the project including wet
weather allowances within 34 weeks, targeting practical completion before 24 November 2017.

5.    Construction Management and Inspections

Under the design and construct delivery model, Council will maintain the overall project
management role supported by externally appointed superintendent and specialist engineering
consultants to administer the contract and progressively inspect the works ensuring the project
objectives are met.

6.    Delivery
The delivery process involves the following key steps;
 Contractor finalising designs;
 Contractor obtaining all approvals including operational works, building and plumbing
   approvals;
 Contractor taking possession of site;
 Preparing site including reconstruction of car park;
 Construction of building including all services (excludes fit out);
 External landscaping;
 Commissioning and handover.
