What the buyer is requesting
Details
Part A – Landslip Slip Remediation
Hinchinbrook Shire Council (“the Principal”) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the construct-only delivery of the Mount Fox Road and Wallaman Falls Road Landslip Remediation Works.
The tender comprises five (5) work groups, each at varying stages of design development:
• Group 1: Detailed design completed
• Group 2: Preliminary design completed
• Group 3: Options and Multi-Criteria Analysis stage
• Groups 4 and 5: Concept design stage – included for tenderers’ awareness of future works and anticipated project scope
Tenderers should note that:
• Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 will be separable portions;
• Group 3 is provisional only and will only be required if and when a notice to proceed with Group 3 is issued on Council’s behalf;
• Groups 4 and 5 are provided for information purposes only, to assist in understanding the likely extent and sequencing of works under the broader program. These works may be included in this current contract at a later time or may be the subject of a separate tender.
Part B – Mount Fox Road Resilience
To optimise construction logistics and minimise contractor mobilisation on the range, Council is concurrently packaging the design and construction of resilience upgrades on Mount Fox Road within this tender.
This project forms a key component of the North Queensland Resilience Strategy and the Hinchinbrook Shire Local Resilience Action Plan. The works address sixteen (16) priority sites, delivering targeted improvements to road safety, slope stability, and drainage infrastructure, thereby enhancing the resilience and year-round accessibility of this strategic inter-regional route connecting coastal and western Queensland.
Council has adopted a Design and Construct (D&C) delivery model for these resilience upgrades, which will comprises in a separable portion of the Contract. No preliminary or concept design has been undertaken, ensuring that available funding is directed toward on-ground works and practical resilience outcomes.
Further information on the project scope, technical standards, and deliverables is provided in Part 5 – Project Specification.
Indicative milestones include:
• Intended award date: 16 December 2025
• Contract execution date: 19 December 2025
• Construction commencement: January 2026
• Completion / delivery dates: As determined by the tender process
• Order of operations

Question
:
Good afternoon,
Due to the complexity involved in assembling a bid for this project would council be able to please provide a 1 week extension to the closing date? This would allow all elements to be properly considered and a more robust proposal to be submitted.
Thank you

Good afternoon,
An EOT was requested / discussed during the tender briefing. May you please confirm if an extension of time will be possible due to the magnitude of this project in order to submit a considered proposal, specifically the design component of this project.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Question
:
Hi,
Will you consider proposals to the Part A construct only portion? Or will you only consider proposals that include Part A and Part B (the design and construct portion)
Regards,
Answered on 20/Nov/2025 02:46 PM

Good afternoon
Unfortunately, no. It’s councils' preference to award to a single contractor to avoid multiple contractors working on the range in close proximity to each other. Logistically it’s too hard.
26/Nov/2025 12:07 PM
Question
:
Hi,
We fully appreciate the 1 week EOT that has been granted but given the scope of these works and the other large stabilisation tenders along the east coast which are currently out to market, we respectfully request a further EOT 12th Dec in order to complete a comprehensive review of the constructability which is critical for this projects success.
Kind Regards,

Good morning
Unfortunately, Council cannot accommodate this due to the risk of increased stability issues on the range with the wet season fast approaching. Council requires this to be awarded prior to Christmas.
Regards
Kyle
