Vertical Transport Upgrade for Henderson and Britomart Train Stations

AT is seeking to upgrade vertical transport assets by replacing several passenger lifts and escalators at Henderson and Britomart Train Stations. This Request for Tender (RFT) relates the appointment of a main contractor to manage the replacement and/or upgrade of passenger lifts and escalators for both stations in line with the referenced specification document.

The main contractor will be responsible for ensuring that the vertical transport assets will be replaced and/or upgraded as per programme requirements. The main contractor is expected to manage the specialist lift suppliers (as nominated sub-contractors) and sub-contractors at the various stations, whilst ensuring compliance of the rail corridor permits and requirements.

There will also be temporary works that the main contractor is to manage to enable the main works to be performed. It is hence a requirement for the tenderer to have track recording of carrying out complex projects within the rail environment and working with stakeholders such as KiwiRail, AOR and Auckland Transport.

There will be considerable coordination and planning required, as a majority of these works will likely required to be carried out during block of lines (BOLs), night works, early ramp downs (ERDs) and any other shutdown opportunities.

The main contractor will work in conjunction with project team and various stakeholders to develop suitable methodologies for temporary works, mobilisation of assets, decommissioning and demobilisation of existing assets, installation, commissioning and site handover.
