26-039 Dam Safety Regulation and Compliance Program

The opportunity - What we need
New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) invites proposals from suitably qualified and experienced dam safety consultants to support NPDC’s dam safety regulations and compliance program over a five-year period (2025–30). The programme will ensure compliance with the Building (Dam Safety) Regulation 2022, in alignment with Dam Safety Guidelines 2024, New Zealand Society on Large Dams (NZSOLD), and best industry practices. The consultant will support NPDC in managing the safety and performance of five High Potential Impact Classification (PIC) dams.
Three of the dams are flood detention dams and form the New Plymouth CBD flood detention scheme (Waimea, Huatoki and Mangaotuku dams), built in the 1980’s.
Highlands Park dam is a stormwater detention structure built in 2006 and has been identified as a dangerous dam. There is a project underway to assess remediation options. If removal or relocation of the dam was recommended, there is a possibility that the scope of this contract would require change.
Pukekura Park dam is an ornamental dam system (composed of three dams), built in Pukekura Park to create the park’s three lakes
Note that this contract’s services are not required for Pukekura Park dam in the first year but are included for years 2 to 5 of the contract.
