3.    Tender Assessment

The tender evaluation panel undertook an assessment of the tender submissions in the closed

    CRAGCORP Pty Ltd T/A Queensland Bridge & Civil
    SGQ Pty Ltd (conforming bid)
    SGQ Pty Ltd (conforming alternate bid)

Each evaluation panel member undertook an independent review and analysis of the respondent’s
technical submission and rated them according to established criteria. The evaluation panel then
met to review and discuss each panel member’s evaluation and agree scoring for each
respondents criteria, ultimately informing the evaluation outcome.

A summary of the scoring (combined price and non-price elements) as agreed by the evaluation
panel is provided in the table below. For further details including pricing refer to attachment 1.

 Respondent                                         Total
 ARK Construction Group                             83.85
 Davbridge Constructions                            93.57
 Queensland Bridge & Civil                          71.61
 SGQ Pty Ltd                                        95.71
 SGQ Pty Ltd (alternate bid)                       100.00

The tender evaluation panel finalised tender evaluations and considered the tender (alternate bid)
of SGQ Pty Ltd to be the most advantageous to Council and presenting the best value for money.
This tender submission is favourable on the following basis:
     They were able to demonstrate previous experience with successful construction of several
      similar projects in the recent past;
     The proposed methodology responded to the requirement to minimise the impact to motorists
      by reducing the duration of the closure of David Low Way.
     SGQ’s alternate bid provides a cost saving compared to SGQ’s conforming tender due to the
      use of modified precast deck units which will provide improved inspection access during the
      future maintenance of the structure.
     Further, SGQ’s alternate proposes an advanced foundation system, which should deliver a
      shorter construction duration. This will ultimately reduce the impact and nuisance to residents
      by shortening the duration of the detour by a few days and reduce the amount and/or duration
      of heavy machinery required on site during the construction phase.
     They demonstrated a considered methodology and bridge design, offering high quality and
      minimising Work Health and Safety risks;
