ALR - Cost Estimate Peer Review Services

Auckland Light Rail Limited (ALR Ltd.) has engaged an Urban, Engineering and Planning Alliance to advance the Auckland Light Rail project through the current detailed planning phase (the Preconstruction Planning Phase), which includes further business case work, technical assessments and detailed design, master planning, and community and stakeholder engagement. Specifically, the business case work involves the development of a Corridor Business Case (CBC), which is intended to articulate the case for investment in both transport infrastructure (to a Detailed Business Case level) and urban planning and development (to an Indicative Business Case level).

ALR Ltd. invites proposals from suitably experienced Proponents to undertake Cost Estimate Peer Review Services of the cost estimate being produced for the CBC. The successful Proponent(s) will need to work closely with the ALR Alliance to provide independent verification and assurance of the cost estimate under development.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is the first and only stage in this single stage procurement process. The attached RFP document contains scoping and procurement process details, and all domestic and international suppliers (excluding suppliers currently involved in the development of the cost estimate for the ALR Alliance) are eligible to submit a proposal.

Please note the requirement in Sections 1.3 and 1.5 for interested Proponents to advise their details no later than 4pm (NZT) on Friday, 9 June 2023 for the Group Inception Meeting to be held via MS Teams on Monday, 12 June 2023.
