RFT 20-0526 - Normanton Raw Water Main Duplication

Summary and scope

Carpentaria Shire is located on the Gulf of Carpentaria roughly 700km West of Cairns and covers an area of approximately 65,000 square kilometres with its administrative and commercial centre located in Normanton. The township of Normanton is currently supplied with treated water from the Normanton Water Treatment Plant. Raw water is sourced from the Glenore Weir approximately 22km South of Normanton and is pumped to the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for treatment. There are currently two (2) x 250mm AC water mains running from the Glenore Weir towards Normanton with one of the mains terminating approximately 1km from the Water Treatment Plant. Carpentaria Shire Council invites tenders from suitably qualified tenderers for installation of approximately 1036m of ID200mm MPVC pipe and 30m of OD250mm HDPE to extend the secondary water main from the termination point to the water treatment plant as described in more detail in Part 5 – Scope. The alignment of the proposed pipeline is provided in Appendix B of the General Specifications. This request for tender has been released with draft project drawings to indicate the proposed alignment of the pipeline and “For Construction” drawings will be released on Vendorpanel during the tender period showing the correct material type which matches the Pricing Schedule quantities.
