Question:
Given the duration of the tender period and the subsequent timing of the contract award, we believe the current delivery dates listed in Attachment 4, Section 1.13 are no longer representative of the actual project timeline.

Please acknowledge that these key milestone dates will be adjusted to reflect the actual "Notice to Proceed" or "Contract Award" date, maintaining the original durations agreed upon during the tender phase.

To maintain a realistic and transparent schedule, we need to formalise the "Hold Duration" required for your team’s internal review and approval process, in accordance to Section 1.20.

Please confirm the expected turnaround time (in business days) for the client review period at each of the design stages - 30%, 60%, 90%, 100%

Question:
Good morning,

It’s been a week since our RFIs 001 and 002 and still have not received. The responses to these are very important as it will determine the scope extents that needs to be priced by multiple subconsultants if required. With the delay in the response, it will be difficult to get subconsultant pricing and scope in time for the submission by the current tender close of 15/05/2026 sat 2.00pm AEST.

We therefore respectfully request the tender close by one week, to 22/05/2026.

Thank you!

Question:
It is noted that the 2019 concept design has been included within Addendum 2. However, in 2024, QPWS&P engaged LatStudios (landscape architect) to further develop the project. This work progressed the landscape, civil, and structural documentation to approximately 60% completion. We have been unable to locate this set of documentation within the tender thus far.

As confirmed within Addendum 2, there is no requirement to retain LatStudios. Therefore, there may be an inherent advantage afforded to tenderers who proceed with the re-engagement of this consultant, with visibility of the 60% design development, which is not currently available to others via this public tender forum.

In the interest of transparency and to ensure all tenderers are afforded an equal opportunity, we request that the 60% landscape, civil, and structural drawings be made available as part of this tender. This will enable all parties to clearly understand the existing level of design development and the baseline from which services would commence should they be successful in the tender.

Question:
Good afternoon,

Attachment 8 Ecology Report identified that the project is partly within the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area, however, Attachment 6 Town Planning and Environmental Scan did not identify Wet Tropics requirements, for example if the lookout has an existing WTMA permit or if a new WTMA permit would be required.

We therefore request QPWS&P confirmation if the site has or an existing WTMA permit. If yes, then we request a copy please. So that it may be considered in the enviro approvals scope.

Thank you.
