What the buyer is requesting
Details
Swan Hill Rural City Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the Reconstruction of the Lake Boga Netball Courts.
Background information / Compatibility requirements
Details
The existing netball courts at the Lake Boga Recreation Reserve are nearing the end of their functional life. The playing surface exhibits widespread surface cracking and deterioration. Geotechnical investigations identified deterioration within the existing pavement/sub-base layers and varying pavement strength across the site. The proposed reconstruction works have been developed in consideration of the geotechnical findings and recommended pavement treatments.

While the courts remain serviceable in the short term, they will not be able to support the ongoing level of use expected for training and competitive play into the future.

To reinstate the courts as a reliable community sporting asset, Council will engage a suitably qualified contractor to undertake the full removal and reconstruction of both courts. The project will include renewal of the pavement structure, installation of a compliant acrylic playing surface, updated line marking, and improvements to runoff zones and umpire areas to align with current netball guidelines.

These works are necessary to provide fit-for-purpose sporting infrastructure that supports ongoing community participation and ensures the venue continues to meet contemporary standards for local sporting facilities.

Council does not have a nominated or approved contractor for the acrylic surfacing works.

Question:
is the court concrete required to be laser screeded? understand the tolerances but couldn't see if laser screeding was a requirement?

Answered on 04/Jun/2026 02:35 PM:


Please refer to the contract specifications regarding the required surface levels and tolerances.

The contract does not stress on the method of construction. It is the tenderer's responsibility to determine the most appropriate construction methodology to achieve the specified levels, falls and surface tolerances, and price the works accordingly.

The tenderer may also wish to consult with their acrylic surfacing subcontractor/manufacturer regarding any specific substrate requirements that may influence the construction approach.

Question:
Hi team,

Good morning and hope you are well. Could you please please advise on following :-


1) Drainage Works : Please advise if BOQ line item 5.1.2 and 5.3 are same. ( 150mm PVC pipes )

2) Evaluation Criteria : Please advise on how assessment will be done for "Compliance with Specification" ( 20% weightage ) since they are mostly related to delivery of works at site.

3) Tree Removal - Please advise if existing tree and Garden Bed removal as mentioned on demolition drawing 25100_02 are part of scope of works since they are not mentioned anywhere in the BOQ.

4) Bollards: Please advise on type of existing bollards. Also, please advise if we need to just remove and store at site or we need to relocate as well. If yes, please share location where we need to reinstall.




Thanks

Answered on 12/Jun/2026 04:03 PM:


Thanks for your questions-

1. Item 5.1.2 is for the supply and installation of the 150mm dia pipework and item 5.3 is for connection of the 150mm dia pipework into the existing kerb and channel including supply and installation of kerb adapters.

2. Assessment will be based on the extent to which the submission demonstrates compliance with the requirements, specifications, standards, and performance outcomes outlined in the request documentation.

3. Thanks - can you provide a provisional price for removal of tree and garden beds?

4. Bollards - remove and retain on site.

Question:
Hi,

In the Pavement Make Up Table Option 1 for the moisture conditioned improved subbase layer (plans sheet 6 of 7), it says we are to compact the 200mm in two equal layers.

The pricing schedule doesn't confirm this. Can you please let us know if you want the 200mm layer moisture conditioned and compacted in two 100mm layers, or ripped 200mm and moisture conditioned and compacted in one layer.

Testing 100mm thick layers is not recommended by the geotesters we have worked with.

Answered on 12/Jun/2026 03:44 PM:


Yes, the tenderers can allow to rip to a depth of 200mm, moisture condition and compact in one 200mm thick layer to 96% MMDD.
12/Jun/2026 12:33 PM
Question:
Hi team,

Good afternoon and hope you are well.

Could you please confirm if there will not be any acrylic surfacing works in the concrete apron area. We are asking to confirm since there is no markup of these works on the plans and the BOQ doesn't quantify any area.



Thanks

Answered on 12/Jun/2026 02:06 PM:


Thanks for asking the question.

the concrete apron area doesnt requires acrylic surfacing.
