    They demonstrated that they have the necessary resources to meet Council’s contractual
     timeframes for practical completion;
    The project team is located within the Noosa Shire and greater Sunshine Coast and has local
     experience with bridge design and construction.

The tender evaluation panel considers this alternate tender submission to be the most
advantageous to Council and presents the best total score of combined price and non-price
elements.

4.   Access during construction

The project will cause some disruption to traffic and pedestrian movements on and around David
Low Way and Orealla Crescent. Very specific requirements have been developed and set through
the tender phase by Council in consultation with experienced traffic consultants. The contractor
must ensure access to businesses and residences is maintained throughout the works. Motorists
will be encouraged to use alternate routes via Facebook and mobile message boards at major
intersections to prevent potential lengthy delays through the detour route.

5.   Program

SGQ propose to design and construct the project (pending adverse weather) in approximately six
months. The design process is planned to commence in January 2020. Site establishment and
construction will commence in May 2020 with expected completion in late July 2020.

This aggressive timeframe is required to comply with the Federal Grant funding requirements
applicable to this project.

In the design phase, Council’s project team will work with the contractor to determine the
aesthetics, such as curved bridge railings, patterns on the vertical abutment wall and will look for
opportunities to improve the current amenity.
