Hi Everyone,

Due to multiple requests for an alternate site visit, an additional Tender site meeting will now be held. Be advised this notice relates to Tender Site Meetings for 2 separate Tenders.

Original Tender Site Meeting
Wednesday 5/11/25
Tender 1: 9:30am RFT2526-30 Goondiwindi SPS1 Upgrade
Tender 2 : 12:00pm RFT2526-33 Texas SPS1 Renewal

Alternate Tender Site Meeting
Tuesday 11/11/25
Tender 1: 9:30am RFT2526-30 Goondiwindi SPS1 Upgrade
Tender 2 : 12:00pm RFT2526-33 Texas SPS1 Renewal

Please advise via the Vendor Panel question portal which session you will be attending for each Tender.
Please note that attendance at only one date per tender is sufficient to meet the mandatory site visit requirement.

Question:
We respectfully request a two-week extension to the current tender closing date due to the following reasons:

The Christmas and New Year shutdown period falls within the tender preparation timeframe, significantly impacting our ability to finalize submissions.

None of our key suppliers and subcontractors will return before mid-January, and they require additional time to provide accurate pricing and technical inputs.

The festive and holiday period reduces industry-wide availability, making it challenging to obtain competitive and compliant quotations within the original timeframe.

Granting this extension will ensure a complete, competitive, and high-quality submission, benefiting all parties involved.

After consideration of your request, GRC has approved a two-week extension to the Tender closing date.

RFT2526-33 will now close at 4:00pm on 21 January 2026.

Please note that, in line with our procurement requirements, tender awards must be resolved at a Council meeting. These occur monthly, so this extension will push the award timeframe back—likely to the March meeting.

You should factor this timing into your construction schedule. While we are aware the works can no longer be completed by 30 June, your proposed schedule must still demonstrate realistic and achievable delivery timeframes.

Question:
Hi,

Do GRC have any existing drawings of the SPS site, wet well and pipework?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there are no plans of Gdi SPS1.

Attached to the Tender files is a site plan (Gdi SPS1 plan) showing the approximate locations of the sewer pipes. It is to be noted these are indicative only and will be required to be verified on site.
