Good afternoon

The Technical Specification (Part 2A) provides details on the make and model for most of the equipment. As the equipment is located across the Council service areas, we do not have the capacity to provide a site inspections at this time.

For parts and equipment that are unknown, please provide indicative parts costs and any associated on-costs with your pricing.

You may provide qualifying statements or limitations with your offer, based on the information made available within the Technical Specification.

Question:
Can you please provide the manufacturer, make and serial number for the following machines. Without this information we cannot provide pricing for these units.

Blackwater WTP 0007278 Compressor

Capella Reservoir 0007198 High Zone Air Compressor

Comet Raw Water Pump Station 9000276 TBC

Dingo WTP 0007203 Sand Filter Compressor

Dingo WTP 007330 Air Blower

Duaringa WTP 9000882 UF Air Compressor 1

Duaringa WTP 9000883 UF Air Compressor 2

Duaringa WTP 0007319 Air Blower

Emerald - Rifle Range Rd Pump Station 0007208 Air Compressor

Rolleston WTP 0007224 Air compressor

Please also confirm if the annual maintenance for all sites is expected to be completed in a milk-run style round trip? Item 1.10 in the pricing schedule requests a lump sum for mobilisation/demobilisation to Emerald and accommodation. Should we include pricing for the whole round-trip in this row?

Good morning

We are working on obtaining the outstanding information and will consider a 1-week extension of time for tender closing if the information can not be provided this week.

It is expected that the maintenance will be done in a milk-run style round trip so please allow for costing of this in the mobilisation/demobilisation item. Also consider if the work will run across a weekend then Council will need to make arrangements to lock/unlock sites. This will be subject to approval in the Permit to Work.

Question:
Hello,

can you please confirm whether more information will be provided for the compressors without make/model number. They currently state TBC under Supplier and Details.

Thanks!

Question:
Good afternoon,

I have contacted Rockhampton Regional Council and Gladstone Regional Council regarding a reference for the tender. As you would be aware (being a Council) that Council officers are not permitted to give a Council reference, however they can give a personal reference. We would love for them to be able to give us a reference as the scope of work we do for them is exactly what your tender is looking for. Is a personal reference fine?

Also could you please explain the paragraph before 2.1 "All pages within Part 3 (including response schedules S01 to S16" I am not sure what this relates to.

Thanking you in advance.

Answered on 06/May/2026 02:18 PM:


Good afternoon, ideally we need the name and email address from a supplier that you have done work for. If you have done work for CHRC then you can nominate a person from CHRC or any other person that you have supplied services to.

Please complete Part 3 and attach any relevant information where you have ticked the box "Tick if attached". Ignore the sentence (including response schedules S01 to S16).

Please make sure you also complete the Excel Pricing Schedule and insert a signature to show that the offer is signed. The signed copy can be via an attached pdf if you prefer but we would also like the excel file submitted.

Question:
Good morning,

*Regarding the manual checks - request for oil change as per OEM. Enquiring about filters etc, will these be considered minor repairs?

*With the electrician that we will use - can we quote travel and hourly rate per site or do we have to quote per piece of equipment?

Thankyou.

Answered on 07/May/2026 10:23 AM:


Thank you for your question. Please be advised as follows:

1. Your pricing per site must include oil, service kits and valve kits, filters as indicated in the technical specification. If not included in your pricing then please specify the additional cost of these items and any on-cost % that may apply. Any equipment that is failing due to deterioration that need to be repaired or replaced will be considered as a repair needing a quote that Council has to accept before the contractor can proceed with the works as indicated in item 6.17 and 6.18 of the Technical Specification Part 2A.

2. Please include all your travel costs per site in the lump sum price per site. The only time that vehicle mileage is applicable is for emergency service and repairs. You may provide separate rates for electrical and mechanical trades as required.

Question:
Good morning,

I am in the final stages of the tender. I have just been given figures from our service tech and he has incorporated travel and accommodation for each site. I have noted that the first line on the price schedule spreadsheet asks for Mobilisation / Demobilisation to Emerald incl travel, and accommodation. Can I just put a 0$ figure against this (as this has been quoted for in the cost of servicing) or do you want me to break it down?

Thankyou

Answered on 08/May/2026 08:34 AM:


Good morning

Yes, insert $0 for the mobilisation / demobilisation and indicate at the bottom of the pricing schedule in text that the rates provided have included mobilisation / demobilisation.

Question:
Hello,

The serial and model numbers for equipment at East Nogoa and Opal street are identical. can you please clarify is this is an error or duplicated equipment.



Please provide model and serial number for blowers at Rolleston. We are unable to quote without this information.

Thanks!

Answered on 08/May/2026 02:06 PM:


Good afternoon, please be advised that the Blower for Opal St is to be deleted so ignore that asset.

We will provide the serial numbers for the Rolleston assets early next week.

Question:
Can we please request an extension of one week please. One of the OEMs is not responding to our requests for quote for spare parts.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, we will grant 1 week extension of time.
