Central Highlands Regional Council is seeking contractors for mobile concrete crushing services at three landfill sites (Lochlees, Blackwater, Tieri) for a 3-year term. The service involves processing concrete and brick rubble into a 20mm minus product for reuse, including contaminant removal, metal recovery, and environmental controls. The contract is on a schedule of rates, call-up basis, with no guaranteed volumes. Key requirements include mobilisation efficiency, cost-effectiveness, WHS compliance, and environmental management. The contractor is responsible for plant, labour, and compliance, while council retains ownership of recovered materials. Regulatory confirmation is pending for Blackwater and Tieri. This opportunity is suitable for contractors experienced in regional environments and mobile crushing operations.
The contract term is 3 years, from August 2026 to August 2029. Specific service delivery will be on a call-up basis, with indicative frequencies for each site: Lochlees annually, Blackwater every **** months, and Tieri as required.
The contract is based on a schedule of rates. Payment terms are not explicitly detailed in the provided text, but the contract structure indicates payment will be made according to the agreed rates for services rendered on a call-up basis.
The provided text does not explicitly detail warranty requirements for the services. However, it does mention that the contractor must supply all labour, plant, equipment, fuel, water, and consumables necessary to deliver the service, implying a warranty of satisfactory performance.
The award criterion is not explicitly stated, but the text highlights that mobilisation cost efficiency and programming will be critical to competitiveness and mentions deliver value for money as a desired outcome, suggesting these will be key considerations.
The buyer is seeking suitably qualified contractors with the ability to produce a 20mm minus product free of contaminants and steel, plant fitted with magnetic separation capability, capability to manage contaminated loads (including suspected asbestos), and experience working in live landfill public interface environments.
The provided text does not explicitly mention penalties for non-compliance or failure to meet service expectations. However, it does state that strict environmental and compliance controls apply and outlines performance expectations (SLAs) such as meeting mobilisation lead times and delivering consistent product specifications.
The provided text does not mention any mandatory or optional site visits.
The provided text does not mention any requirement for sample submission.
The provided text does not specify a deadline for challenging the tender or its conditions.
While not explicitly listed as disqualification risks, the text emphasizes strict environmental and compliance controls, WHS and asbestos risk management, and the need for experience in live landfill public interface environments. Failure to adhere to these could potentially lead to disqualification.
The provided text does not state an estimated total value for the contract.
