RFT 2324-23 South Hedland Landfill - Infrastructure Works

Summary and scope

The Town has identified a need to upgrade infrastructure at the South Hedland Landfill in line with community needs and the organisations Waste and Sustainability strategies. This tender will be awarded as Two (2) Parts Offers Part Offer A – Evaporation Pond Liner This is a single Part Offer with a specific date for Practical Completion Part Offer B – Community Transfer and Recycling Station with Tip Shop: Under Part Offer B, there are two (2) separable Portions: • Separable Portion 1 – Construction of Community Transfer and Recycling Station • Separable Portion 2 – Construction of Tip Shop Part Offer A - Evaporation Pond Liner The Town has an Evaporation Pond that is located at the back of the South Hedland Landfill, which expands across a parcel of 52m x 35m and the current capacity is 25,000L. As part of the facility, the Pond has a liner that requires replacement every ten (10) years. The current pond accepts around 32,850L annually and services larger commercial waste operations in Port and South Hedland. Currently, the daily production rate from the plant of 92KL of the waste is processed through the Wastewater Treatment plant also located on site at the South Hedland Landfill. Due to the heavy reliance on the pond by the commercial operators, the Town has designed to deliver a duplicate pond that is to service the needs of the community during the process of the replacement of the original pond liner. This duplication will mitigate service interruption to the commercial operators and increase revenue due to processing the additional volumes of liquid waste. Part Offer B - Community Transfer and Recycling Station The Town of Port Hedland’s Waste Management Strategy was endorsed by Council in September 2018. The strategy identified a number of actions to improve waste management and increase resource recovery and recycling, including the development of a modern Community Recycling Centre. The Community Transfer and Recycling Station (CTRS) is intended to redirect traffic form the tip face and in turn, reduce the instance of human interaction at the more dangerous part of the Landfill, where heavy machinery is operating. The CTRS will allow specific areas for the separation of waste and materials and provide opportunities for re-sale through a ‘tip shop’ which will operate through the engagement of community groups once established. Part Offer B - Tip Shop The inclusion of a community Tip Shop is supported from the Towns adopted Waste Strategy and will have a focus on re-use of items that are diverted from the tip face. The included specifications outline both a location and method for delivery of this facility.
