Invercargill City Council Seeks Contractor for Surrey Park Grandstand Strengthening and Fire Compliance Project

Invercargill City ICC (ICC) invites Tender (RFT) from suitably experienced Construction companies with relevant experience in delivering Design and Construct Contracts. The project goal will be the Grandstand 34% strengthening work including Fire Compliance at Surrey Park. Surrey Park is one of Invercargill�s more unique parks with strong recreational ties covering a multitude of sports and activities.

This has been complemented with the leisure centre and indoor cycling velodrome which are two of the premier indoor sports facilities within New Zealand. The diverse range of activities creates a challenge of managing them together in order to achieve a cohesive organised recreational area, while maximising the opportunities for park users.

Surrey Park Grandstand is noted as a critical asset to Invercargill City in the Parks and Cemeteries Activity Plan and is widely used by many groups and members of the public. The ICC, as owner of the grandstand, has an obligation to develop and maintain it to a suitable standard, subject to a desirable need, including the encouragement of use of the facility.

Failure of the grandstand would have major adverse impacts on significant numbers using the grandstand, the environment and the economy through loss of finance and having no alternatives if a disaster was to occur.
