### 🏗️ Project Overview
Transport NSW is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the **John Renshaw Drive Upgrade (JRDU) Program**. This project focuses on providing **Concept Design and Environmental Assessment (CD&EA)** services to support road improvements at the critical junction of the M1 Pacific Motorway, John Renshaw Drive, and Weakleys Drive at Beresfield. The initiative is backed by a $15 million investment from the Australian and NSW governments aimed at enhancing road safety, journey reliability, and freight efficiency in the Hunter region.
### 📋 Key Requirements & Scope
The scope involves developing a concept design and conducting environmental assessments (including Project Review of Environmental Factors) to inform a **Full Business Case (FBC)**. This FBC will ultimately be used to secure construction funding.
**Mandatory Qualifications:**
* Bidders must be registered members of the **TfNSW Technical Services Registration Scheme**.
* Required service types include: **Complex Road Design**, **Complex Bridge Design**, and **Environmental Impact Assessment**.
* Compliance with the NSW Government Procurement Policy Framework and Supplier Code of Conduct is mandatory.
### 🎯 Desired Outcomes
