Question:
Hello,

We're preparing pricing for this project, and would be grateful if the Principal would consider a three-week extension to the closing date.

This pricing relies on supplier quotes for the custom-built 2,500 A main switchboard and motor control centres, the two 500 kW drives, and the PLC and instrumentation equipment. Suppliers need longer to price these items than the current tender period allows. The extra time would let us provide a complete and competitive price.

Thank you for considering our request.

Kind regards,

Alex

Question:
Hi,

Please see our request for information below -



A. In light of the decision to replace the TEMA PLC processor with a CJ3 PLC, we request Council consider descoping all works associated with the TEMA PLC Upgrade to allow for re-design and tendering of this portion of works at a future date. We believe this approach would ultimately deliver a more cost-effective outcome for Council. We do not require an extension of time to accommodate this significant change.



If the TEMA PLC upgrade is to remain within scope, can Council please confirm:

Is pricing still required for works per the IFC design of the TEMA PLC upgrade using the NJ processor? Or is this design now considered redundant?

We note the minimal effort required for electrical design given the mature state of the IFC design but recognise the significant engineering effort in migrating the existing PLC software to a new range. We also note the complexity of cutover between two ranges of hardware on an operating plant with a maximum 6hr shutdown window.



Is pricing now required for works per the minutes that a CJ3 processor is now to be used?

We note this would require a fresh electrical design of the hardware upgrade, negating the existing IFC design, but agree that there would be significant engineering savings in maintaining the existing PLC software on the CJ3 architecture. We also note the complexity of cutover will be reduced if the use of adaptor wiring kits are used to significantly reduce the re-wiring required. We also note the product is now scheduled for release Oct 2026. To-date OMRON have not been in a position to provide pricing or lead times on this product, but remain hopeful of providing prior to tender close.



If both pricing options are required, please confirm the format of response required.





B. Could not locate the following tender documents -

5.2.d

5.2.a

5.2.e

C. Can FCRC/KBR please:

Confirm Total cut and fill volumes (m³) for the bulk earthworks

Provide The 12d Model files /CAD files for the existing and design surfaces.

D. Pensar acknowledges Council's position that no extensions will be granted. However, following feedback from our key suppliers and subcontractors, we respectfully request an extension of three (3)

weeks, from 15/10/26 to 05/11/26.



Several suppliers, notably for the switchboards, have advised that they cannot provide firm pricing within the current period. An extension would allow a more accurate tender.

Please refer to Addendum #6 and associated documents

Question:
Generator 2 scope. The Scope of Works (6.4.6 and testing requirements) and Project Specification 17.5.3 call for a new second generator operating in parallel with the existing 880 kVA set, including load-sharing tests, and the civil items include generator slabs and fuel tank plinths. However, SLD BEG382-01-DW-EL-SLD-0001 Rev 0 shows Generator 2 as “Future” (Note 11), the Design Report (10.1.2) states the new generator and fuel system are designed by others, and the Price Response Form has no item for supplying a generator. Please confirm:

a) Is supply and installation of the second generator and its fuel system part of this Contract? If so, please advise the required rating and fuel autonomy, and which pay item it should be priced under.

b) If it is future, should tenderers allow for the Generator 2 feeder cables and the MSB incomer and changeover provisions now, with Generator 2 commissioning and load-sharing tests excluded?

c) Is the existing 880 kVA generator to be relocated into the new generator building under this Contract?

Power System Analysis report. Addendum 1 (Supplier Post #2) advised the Power System Analysis Report is in Tender Document 5.4.i, but it is not in the Principal Supplied Information issued. Could Council please re-issue it, and the PowerCAD model if available?

There are several drawing references to various material types that do not appear to be covered by the provided specifications. We request further details on these materials to ensure accurate pricing for the client. Drawing GEN-0201/0 references Controlled Fill, Granular Material Capping Layer and Granular Material. Drawing PLN-0038/0 references Improved Subgrade Material. Could the client provide further detail on the materials they are wanting?

Furthermore, drawing DTL-0032/0 references Earth Fill to MRTS04, which is quite broad. From the geotechnical results provided, the site cut looks to be typically Class C based on WPI. Is it the client’s intent to use the site won material as fill in this instance?

RFI01 - EOT Request

Hi Julianne,

We respectfully request an Extension of Time (EOT) for the submission of our tender for the Sludge Dewatering Upgrade Project, extending the current submission deadline of 5 November 2026 to 20 November 2026.

This extension is requested to allow sufficient time to obtain and assess vendor package pricing, receive outstanding subcontractor quotations, and develop a complete and accurate tender submission that adequately addresses the complexities and various elements of the project.

The current tender timeframe has presented several challenges, including:

• Vendor package pricing and lead times: The specialised nature of the sludge dewatering equipment requires engagement with multiple vendors to obtain compliant technical and commercial offers. Allowing sufficient time for vendors to review the project requirements and develop their submissions is essential.

• Subcontractor responses: A number of subcontractor quotations remain outstanding, with additional time required to obtain, review and clarify pricing to ensure all relevant scope elements are adequately covered.

• Limited supplier participation: Several suppliers have declined to provide pricing due to the short turnaround time available. This has restricted the number of competitive quotations received and increased the time required to identify and engage alternative suppliers.

• Project complexity and scope coordination: The project involves multiple interfacing elements, vendor packages and subcontracted works that require careful coordination to ensure the proposed solution is technically compliant and commercially complete.

• Tender accuracy and completeness: Additional time is required to review vendor and subcontractor submissions, reconcile scope gaps and exclusions, confirm pricing assumptions, and undertake a detailed internal review of the estimate and overall tender submission.

The requested extension will provide the necessary opportunity to obtain more complete and reliable pricing, properly assess the associated risks and exclusions, and ensure our final submission represents an accurate and considered offer that meets the project requirements.

We believe the additional time will support a more robust and competitive tender submission, reducing the likelihood of pricing omissions, scope gaps or assumptions that may otherwise affect the delivery and cost certainty of the project.

We therefore respectfully request approval to extend the tender submission deadline by 15 calendar days, from 5 November 2026 to 20 November 2026.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. We look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Addendum #6, Supplier Post #14, indicates that fencing is only required for the following:

• Dewatering Building Area, as per drawings BEG382-01-DW-CV-GEN-0030 and BEG382-01-DW-PI-GEN-0021.

• Around the Ergon transformer pad (12 m x 12 m square) inclusive of a gate.

The Contractor seeks further information on the following:

• What is the required size and if there is any automation required for the gate in the Ergon transformer pad?

• The switchroom and generator area, the existing fence alignment appears to conflict with the proposed works, as it passes through the new concrete footpath, landscaped area, and road intersection. Please confirm the required fencing arrangement in this area.

• Are the vehicle access gates through the project to be manual or automatic?
