Invercargill City Council Civic Administration Building Refurbishment and Upgrade Project

The Invercargill City Council�s Civic Administration Building project consists of refurbishment, building services upgrades and minor strengthening works to the existing building. The CAB on Esk Street was constructed in the 1960s, is over 50 years old and has received minimal refurbishment or upgrades in that time.

ICC has completed building investigation reports in 2020 that identified the building upgrades required that must be undertaken simultaneously with the office refurbishment upgrades. Furthermore, the building configuration no longer fosters a functional and practical working environment for ICC, staff and the public.

The ICC intends to refurbish selected floors to meet better and optimise the current and future requirements of the services it delivers - notably in a modern, adaptable and collaborative working environment.

The key objective of this RFP is to appoint a consultant who can provide high-quality Architectural Services, including Workspace Planning for the CAB project in accordance with this RFP and the Scope of Services. The services will commence immediately upon appointment.

ICC requires an Architect who will respond collaboratively, competitively and robustly to the scope, challenges and key deliverables that such a project raises. This is a single staged tender only, and Respondents will need to comply and meet a number of �pre-conditions� to qualify for evaluation of their RFP submission.

These pre-conditions are identified in Section 3.1 of this RFP document PLEASE NOTE APPENDIX A & B WILL BE ADDED AS AN NTT ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
