Scope overview
Buller District Council owns various premises in Westport that accommodate staff and from which it delivers its services. Two of these premises � Brougham House and the Victoria Square complex � require upgrade to address a number of issues. The main Council base is Brougham House which needs upgrade to meet seismic strengthening requirements and provide efficient workspaces for Council staff.
The project aims to achieve the following key outcomes: � Improve safety and risk to occupants by improving building competency; � Ensure building performance and service continuity in the event of an earthquake so that civil defence/emergency operations centre functions can operate effectively; � Improve building function, performance and sprawl, staff productivity/engagement, and ratepayer/customer service levels; � Improve building aesthetics, specifically by introducing and incorporating visual design elements that better reflect Buller�s cultural identity; and � Reduce building operating and maintenance costs and improve sustainability and carbon-reduction outcomes.
This RFP is for earthquake strengthening and upgrading of Brougham House (Council�s main administration centre) and may need to include the existing civil defence building at Victoria Square, if a fit-for-purpose civil defence coordination facility cannot be achieved elsewhere (e.g., at the Brougham House site).
The upgrade must meet all the relevant NZ building code requirements and deliver a minimum of 67% NBS seismic strength. For the civil defence coordination facility this must strive to satisfy building performance and service resilience standards of an Importance Level 4 building (NZS 1170:2004, Chapter 5).
Full description
The proposed contract anticipates the successful supplier undertaking investigation and design work as Separable Portion 1 of the contract ($300,000 ex GST). This should be a collaborative process with the client with intermediate review and consultation points by way of regular Project Control Group (PCG) meetings so that Council can understand options and provide input into the design solution as it progresses.
It is envisaged that the finalised solution and pricing will be worked through collaboratively to ensure best value-for-money for Separable Portion 2 - Physical Works ($2,000,000 + GST), whilst also being mindful of the supplier�s legitimate expectation of recovering its onsite and offsite overheads and profit for the design and construction/physical works.
