Palm Island Aboriginal Council - 2024 Natural Disaster Reconstruction Civil Works

Summary and scope

Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council wishes to invite suitably qualified and experienced Civil Contractors to submit tenders for this package of Natural Disaster Reconstruction Works. These works consist of sealed and unsealed road repairs, earthworks and civil drainage works. It is anticipated that the works will commence in the first quarter of 2025 and be completed by no later than the end of July 2025 Prospective Tenderers should be aware that access to Palm Island is via barge, ferry and air services and should familiarise themselves with the available services prior to submission of tenders. It is recommended that Tenderers who do not have recent construction experience on Palm Island make arrangements to visit in person during the Tender period and reflect their observations in their Methodologies. UPDATE 22/2/2205 Tenders are to note that, due to upcoming availability constraints on barge services, all quarry materials including gravels and bulk fill are to be supplied by the Principal at the laydown area on Wallaby Point (18°43'01"S 146°35'57"E). Contractors are to make own arrangements carting material to site from the laydown area. Quarry materials will be supplied to contractors free of charge (i.e. at the Principal’s cost).
