Central Highlands Regional Council (CHRC) is seeking contractors for mobile concrete crushing services at three landfill sites (Lochlees, Blackwater, Tieri) for a 3-year term. Services include processing concrete and brick rubble into a 20mm minus product for reuse, contaminant removal, magnetic separation, and environmental controls. The contract is on a schedule of rates, call-up basis with no guaranteed volumes. Key requirements include producing a compliant product, managing contaminants (including suspected asbestos), operating under a call-up model, and adhering to strict environmental and WHS controls. Mobilisation cost efficiency and programming are critical. The contractor is responsible for plant, labour, mobilisation, and compliance, while council retains ownership of recovered materials.

The contractor warrants that the supply will comply with contract requirements, legislative requirements, be fit for purpose, and performed by qualified personnel. Specific warranties for goods and services are detailed.
Contractors must be suitably qualified to provide mobile concrete crushing services, with experience in regional environments, variable volumes, and mobilisation-based work programs. They must also demonstrate experience in live landfill public interface environments.
The contract includes provisions for liquidated damages if the contractor fails to achieve completion by the specified dates, at a rate specified in the contract.
The document does not explicitly state if a site visit is mandatory or optional, but it details access to sites for the contractor.
The contract mentions that if the contractor provided a demonstration or sample of the supply before the contract was entered into, the supply must correspond in nature and quality with that demonstration or sample.
The document does not specify a challenge deadline.
