EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the contract award of the preferred contractor for
1920T072 Orealla Crescent, Sunrise Beach bridge replacement.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Project Coordinator to the Special Meeting dated 16 December
2019 and award tender 1920T072 for the Design and Construction of the Orealla Crescent Bridge
replacement situated in Sunrise Beach to SGQ Pty Ltd for a value of $2,619,227 and approve the
total project budget of $3,716,432.


REPORT
The proposed contract is for the replacement of the Orealla Crescent Bridge situated on the David
Low Way at Sunrise Beach.

1.                       Project Scope

The design and construction of a new bridge will allow for two traffic lanes, on road cycle lanes and
a separated/off-road shared pathway. The contractor is to minimise impacts to Orealla Crescent
with the existing bridge height clearance maintained. The bridge will meet current design
specifications and standards with a target design life of 100 years. Project proposals have included
some allowances for improvements to bridge aesthetics and landscaping.

2.                       Tender Process

In late 2018, a previous tender was called to remediate the bridge and therefore extend technical
life by 50 years. This tender was not awarded as it did not provide value for money for Council,
only providing a limited warranty on the cathodic protection system and repairs, with a project cost
of around two thirds that of fully replacing the bridge. Remediation also did not provide
improvements such as meeting current design specifications, a separated shared footpath,
improved aesthetics and a 100 years design life.

Due to the value of the works being greater than $200,000 the works have been tendered in
accordance with the Local Government Act 2009. The tender process was broken down into 2
phases, being;
    Phase 1 - 1920E050 - Expression of Interest - Orealla Crescent Bridge replacement
    Phase 2 - 1920T072 - Closed tender – Orealla Crescent Bridge Replacement, Sunrise
     Beach.
