Tenders sought for surf clubs

 

Seven companies have been asked to provide tenders to Gosford Council for the design, development and construction of three surf clubs including Ocean Beach and Umina Beach surf club buildings.

The companies are Australian Project Services Pty Ltd, Classic Group Pty Ltd, Hansen Yuncken, McKenzie Building & Construction Pty Ltd, Mitchell Bros Building & Electrical Contractors, North Constructions & Building Pty Ltd and Stephen Edwards Constructions Pty Ltd.

Expressions of interest were invited for the design development and construction of the surf club buildings, with works including demolition, preparation of detailed construction drawings (preliminary design/DA drawings have been approved), obtaining a construction certificate and construction.

The proposed buildings are two stories and will include boat/surf craft storage, café/kitchen areas, amenities, function rooms, storerooms, passenger lift, external decks and ancillary areas.

The 17 submissions received were assessed for financial details, insurances, subcontractors, management and technical staff resources, referees, previous experience, occupational health and safety, indicative project program and environmental management.

Due to the costs involved in preparing a tender, it was considered that the number of tenderers be limited to seven to ensure a more realistic and economic result, according to the council report.
