Consultancy Services for Transport Project Design in Christchurch Regeneration Areas

The Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) is a funding package from the Treasury for transport projects in Christchurch. The purpose of the funding is to make a difference to affected communities by improving liveability and to support their ongoing regeneration.

The CRAF funding includes targeted roading and transport improvements to deliver integrated safety, modal choice and asset improvements to communities which experienced significant damage and disruption, or increased transport demand/travel use due to a change in travel patterns following the earthquakes in five areas - Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/Beckenham, Linwood/Woolston, Richmond, New Brighton and Riccarton.

The purpose of this RFP is to invite Prospective Consultants to submit Proposals for the provision of Consultancy Services for the scheme design and detailed design for the Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/Beckenham package of projects within the CRAF programme. The Consultant will be required to supply a team of consultants capable of delivering the scope of services outlined in this RFP.

Upon completion of the Scheme Design, approval from the Council may be required to proceed with detailed design. The Council makes no commitment that such approval will be given. Respondents should be aware that if approval is not received, Work Packages within this RFP may be cancelled at that point.

To align with our strategic aspirations, by awarding the contract to a Consultant, the Council intends to achieve value for money for Christchurch ratepayers and the wider community by working with a Consultant who is able to propose a design strategy that meets the requirements of stakeholders, including the local community, whilst remaining in budget.

The Council invites Prospective Consultants to provide suggestions on how they might work with the Council to minimise costs and/or increase efficiency.
