Gowing Drive Meadowbank to Kohimarama Connection Project Design Services

The Gowing Drive Meadowbank to Kohimarama Connection Project (MKCP) will provide safe walking and cycling facilities to connect the suburbs of Meadowbank and Kohimarama to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive (GI2TD) Shared Path - Te Ara Ki Uta Ki Tai (the path of land and sea). The project has two connections: 1. John Rymer Place (Northern) Connection � currently under construction, and 2.

Gowing Drive (Southern) connection. A detailed business case (DBC) was completed for MKCP and identified a preferred option for both the connections � John Rymer Place and Gowing Drive. A Gap Analysis of the DBC was completed to confirm the preferred option for Gowing Drive. The connection is split into three sections due to different site and topography constraints.

The design of final preferred option for the three sections now need to be developed further through detailed design.

The three sections and the preferred option for each are: - Section 1 � An underpass and boardwalk connecting to GI2TD Boardwalk, - Section 2 � A shared path with a S alignment through 92 Gowing Drive, - Section 3 � Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) approximately 800m of Gowing Drive between the intersections of Archdall Street and Hawkins Street.

The recommended option also includes widening the existing footpath out to 2.4m. This RFP seeks to procure engineering professional services to carry out the concept, developed and detailed design of the preferred options.
