📋 Tender Overview
Description : This project is to replace a culvert with a single span bridge at Teemangum Street, Currumbin. The culvert has been assessed as being at the end of its useful life. A multi-criteria analysis has been completed to look at the cost-benefit of replacing with either culverts or a bridge. The preferred option is a bridge. Stakeholder engagement has been undertaken with the catchment Management Unit, which has outlined that the bridge is a better environmental outcome. Stakeholder engagement has also been undertaken with the Transport and Traffic (T&T) Branch and has resulted in an agreed funding contribution from T&T to improve the road standard of service at this location. Early works were completed in 2020-21 to relocate utility services, including Energex and Potable water mains. Further early works are being completed in 2021-22 to relocate APA gas pipeline and procurement of steel girders. The procurement process started in late November 2021 with an updated estimated award date of May 2022 for the D&C contract. As a result of delays in the contract award the construction phase of the project will span the 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years.
