For this assessment to be completed, a representative from the nominated agent may contact you concerning the financial information that you are required to provide. The financial assessment is specifically for use by the Principal for the purpose of assessing Tenderers and will be treated as strictly confidential.

1.18 Evaluation Process This is a Request for Tender. Your Tender will be evaluated using information provided in your Tender. The following evaluation methodology will be used in respect of this Request:

a) Tenders are checked for completeness and compliance. Tenders that do not contain all information requested (eg completed Offer form and Attachments) may be excluded from evaluation.

b) Tenders are assessed against the Selection Criteria. Contract costs are evaluated, (eg tendered prices and other relevant whole of life costs are considered).

c) The most suitable Tenderers may be short listed and may also be required to clarify their Tender, make a presentation, demonstrate the product/solution offered and/or open premises for inspection. Referees may also be contacted prior to the selection of the successful Tenderer.

A Contract may then be awarded to the Tenderer whose Tender is considered the most advantageous Tender to the Principal.

1.19 Selection Criteria The Contract may be awarded to a panel of Tenderers who best demonstrates the ability to provide quality products and/or services at a competitive price. The tendered prices will be assessed together with qualitative and compliance criteria to determine the most advantageous outcome to the Principal. The Principal has adopted a best value for money approach to this Request. This means that, although price is considered, the Tender containing the lowest price will not necessarily be accepted, nor will the Tender ranked the highest on the qualitative criteria. A scoring system will be used as part of the assessment of the qualitative criteria. Unless otherwise stated, a Tender that provides all the information requested will be assessed as satisfactory. A Tender demonstrating greater satisfaction of each of these criteria will result in a greater score. The


Page 11 of 51

aggregate score of each Tender will be used as one of the factors in the final assessment of the qualitative criteria and in the overall assessment of value for money.

1.20 Compliance Criteria These criteria are detailed within 5.2.1 of this document and will not be point scored. Each Tender will be assessed on a Yes/No basis as to whether the criterion is satisfactorily met. An assessment of “No” against any criterion may eliminate the Tender from consideration.

1.21 Qualitative Criteria In determining the most advantageous Tender, the Evaluation Panel will score each Tenderer against the qualitative criteria as detailed within 5.2.2 of this document. Each criterion will be weighted to indicate the relative degree of importance that the Principal places on the technical aspects of the goods or services being purchased. It is essential that Tenderers address each qualitative criterion. Information that you provide addressing each qualitative criterion will be point scored by the Evaluation Panel. Failure to provide the specified information may result in elimination from the tender evaluation process or a low score.

This contract is for reforming and and embankment construction to bring the existing road above terrain level, installation of basecourse and bituminous surfacing to 5.1km of Menzies Rd from 27.8 SLK to 33.0SLK. The works includes installation of 3 floodways with downstream rock protection and adjoins previous sealing works finishing at 27.8SLK.

2.3 Definitions Below is a summary of some of the important defined terms used in this Part:

Contractor’s Representative:

Means any Officer or person duly authorised by the Contractor, in writing, to act on their behalf for the purpose of the Contract;

Principal’s Representative

Means any Officer of person duly authorised by the Principal, The Shire of Menzies, in writing, to act on their behalf for the purpose of the Contract;

Works or Services: Means the Services, which the Contractor is required to provide to the Principal and the Contractor under the Contract;

Superintendent: Paul Warner

Day: Working Day – equivalent to 9 hours.

2.4 Scope of Work The works comprises upgrade of Menzies Rd 27.8 SLK to 33.0SLK from a formed road to a full width construction gravel pavement with bituminous surfacing. This scope includes but is not limited to

• Load and Cart gravels already stockpiled on site in Gravel Pit located at SLK 27

• Winning and conditioning of additional Gravels as required • Construction of formation utilising material from the drains and imported

material such that the finished road surface is above surrounding terrain level. • Placement and compaction of 200mm natural gravel basecourse to 96%

MMDD • Supply of Traffic Management to complete the works • Pumping and carting of construction water • Construction of offshoot drains to direct runoff into natural drainlines away from

the roadway


Page 15 of 51

• Installation of 3 TYPE 1 Floodways including off-road drainage and rock protection.

• Finishing of Batters and Drains

2.5 Specific Requirements of the Contract Claims for payment are to be submitted monthly as per the schedule of rates on the quantity of work completed against each item. The superintendent will check the works to ensure that they have been completed correctly prior to approving the claim – or will order re-work.

2.6 Survey and Set-out The road is measured in km from intersection of Menzies North West Rd and Onslow St in Menzies township. Points along the road are referred to as SLK (straight line kilometre) points. SLK 28.4 is 28.4km from the starting terminus at the intersection with Onlsow St. SLKS are measured in the field using calibrated tripmeters or the Fulton Hogan SLK app available on smart devices such as Andriods, iphones and ipads. The superintendent will install a peg at the start and finish SLK of the works. Centreline Survey pegs showing finished levels and Chainages will be installed by the superintendent prior to works commencing for construction and checking of finished levels of works. Survey pegs damaged or removed by the contractor during the works will be reinstated at the contractors cost as they will be utilised to measure the progress of works and works completed for payment. Due to limited availablility of material on site the embankment fill levels, and subsequent finished level shown on the drawings may be reduced by the superintendent following the initial set-out. This reduction will be done manually with reference to surrounding terrain levels ensuring drainage is not compromised and marked on the pegs.

2.7 Construction Water A bore is located within the project gravel pit and is available for use on the project. The contractor shall provide all equipment necessary to draw water from the bore.

2.8 Clearing and Topsoil Removal It is not anticipated that clearing and topsoil removal will be required for this contract. In the event that the works encroaches on existing vegetation or the contractor seeks to remove vegetation for construction of detours or turn-arounds the superintendent shall be consulted prior to disturbance. Removal of vegetation in existing drainlines is permitted. Vehicles are to remain within already cleared areas and to use existing tracks. Tracks are to be watered and graded where required to maintain them in a trafficable state.


Page 16 of 51

2.9 Gravel Pit Establishment and Management A suitable source of gravel has been identified by Shire of Menzies at SLK 27 on Menzies North West Rd. Stockpiled material is available for use on the works, however any shortfall will need to be ripped and pushed up by the contractor.

HOLD POINT The superintendent’s approval shall be sought prior to opening up new areas of the pit.

Only Granular materials that are broken into well graded material, free of organic and deletrious material are to be stockpiled. Overburden and topsoil is to be stripped and stockpiled at the back of the pit for later use in rehabilitation. The pit Floor shall be ripped longitudinally transversely and diagonally to ensure the material is broken up into well graded particles. Only sections that are to be stockpiled shall be ripped and pushing up shall be done in parallel lines overlapping the previous push in a systematic fashion such that stockpiles are even and the pit floor is also even. Pits shall be worked until the parent rock layer is uncovered and refusal is met by the ripper. In the case that the rock is breaking up but consists of mainly oversize material the Superintendents direction shall be sought on whether to continue ripping and pushing up. Materials may be able to be blended with overburden or finer fractions of the gravel depending on the material type. Similarly if the gravel is alluvial and concretionary and does not have a rock base the material shall only be ripped whilst a granular material is being produced. The Superintendents direction shall be sought at change of material layer.

Pit Establishment– involves clearing vegetation, stripping topsoil and removal of overburden in order that the granular layer is exposed for ripping. The superintendent will install a peg at the extent of clearing permitted for the pit. Vegetation is to be cleared into windrows outside the pit borrow area such that it can be respread later for use as mulch. Diversion drains shall be installed upstream of pit to ensure it does not become flooded in rain events. A cleared access track 8m wide from the road way is to be maintained. Pit Rehabilitation– involves spreading of stockpiled overburden, topsoil & vegetation over floor of pit where gravel has been removed. Overburden shall be spread first and compacted using the tracks of the machine. Topsoil shall then be spread and furrows ripped into the surface of the material to encourage moisture to penetrate the ground. Stockpiled Vegetation is to be spread as mulch to encourage moisture retention provide fauna habitats and propagation of new plants. The following figures show critical aspects of pit operation and are good examples of the finished product. NOTE that the following pictures are not of the pit on site and are examples only.


Page 17 of 51

Access Track maintained adjacent to stockpiles and not rehabilitated until stockpiles are exhausted. Note Rehabilitated ripped section has had overburden topsoil & mulch respread but not completely level or compact in order that vegetation can grow.

Stockpiled material, foreground shows pit floor level to maintain drainage until stockpiles are exhausted. Note Stockpiles are parallel and of even height& width. Also note that material has been pushed up in parallel lines leaving the floor reasonably level.

Ripping is to be conducted in a grid pattern and pushing up in parallel over-lapping lines such that even stockpiles are created and that the stockpiles are readily accessible. The access to the pit is to be maintained and left in a trafficable and free draining state. Pre-conditioning of materials at the pit

2.10 Embankment Construction Remove unsound material (e.g. vegetation and topsoil) from the surface of the road cross-section including drains. Remove obstructions that prevent free flow of water into, along or from table drains. Repair scours in or adjacent to the table train.


Page 22 of 51

No Windrows are to be left on the road formation. Windrows shall be feathered such that material is lost on the respective surface. Materials for embankment construction including those won from drains and shoulders that are returned to the road surface for embankment construction shall

• Be a well graded material and consist of fine and coarse granular particles that when compacted produce a dense stable layer.

• Consist of sound material that does not breakdown readily. • Have a maximum particle size 150mm 300mm from Subgrade level and 36.5mm

100mm from Subgrade level. Coarser materials are to be placed in the lowest layer of the embankment.

• Be free of matter that would adversely affect performance (e.g. clay lumps, organic matter, stumps, branches, roots or rubbish).

• Have a linear shrinkage of less than 1.0% • Not be uncohesive sand or saturated clay.

HOLD POINT: Materials proposed for use in embankment construction shall be approved by the

Superintendent

The embankment material shall be placed and compacted in layers greater than 100mm depth and not exceeding 300mm depth. The following photgraphs show the existing road section.


Page 23 of 51


Page 24 of 51

2.11 Subgrade Preparation Subgrade preparation shall be completed in all areas where a pavement is to be constructed, except where the pavement is to be placed directly onto any retained pavement surface.

The subgrade surface shall be constructed to the shape and levels as shown in the Drawings and to specified requirements and tolerances of this Clause.

During the whole of the compaction process the moisture content, of the subgrade material shall be within 90% - 110% of the optimum moisture content for that material

The completed subgrade layer shall be in a homogeneous uniformly bonded condition with no evidence of layering or disintegration.

The completed subgrade surface shall be maintained in its conforming condition until pavement construction commences and shall be watered as necessary to prevent shrinkage cracking, dusting or loosening of its surface.

2.12 Pavement Construction Pavement construction includes, supply, placing, compacting and finishing of pavement materials in accordance with the specifications and drawings to the prepared subgrade surface.


Page 25 of 51

The pavement layer shall be constructed to the dimensions and details shown on the drawings. The shape of basecourse layer shall be judged to be acceptable when the maximum deviation from a 3m straight edge placed on any position of the surface does not exceed 6mm.

Oversize material in stockpiles that will not break down with compactive effort to particles less than 50mm shall be removed prior to carting to site, or cast aside during the pavement construction process. Gravels are to be conditioned by addition of water, crushing and blade mixing such that the material is of a uniform grading and moisture content. Salt water is not permitted for use in basecourse construction. The bore located in the pit is too saline and water shall be sourced from a freshwater bore adjacent Menzies townsite. Pavement material is to be compacted at 90 – 110 % of optimum moisture content to 96% MMDD

The compactive effort applied shall be a minimum of 8 passes with a self-propelled vibratory roller and 4-6 passes of a multityred roller with machines having a static mass of not less than 16T. Each pass of the roller shall overlap the width of the previous pass by 10%

Completed Pavement Layers shall be in a homogeneous, uniformly bonded condition with no evidence of layering, cracking, disintegration or surface tearing. The finished surface should appear as a stone mosaic interlocked with fine material and shall be dense, even textured & tightly bonded. Basecourse material shall retain those characteristics after rotary brooming and be suitable to receive bituminous surfacing. Prior to application of bituminous surfacing the surface of basecourse shall be uniformly dry.

The surface of any constructed Pavement Layer shall be maintained to prevent ravelling, erosion, deformation or any other damage to the layer resulting from the weather, traffic or construction activities. The completed layer shall be watered to prevent dusting and loosening of the surface. It is recommended that the layer is constructed 20mm higher than required until final trimming.

Final trimming shall take place immediately prior to sealing.
