Kapiti Coast District Council

Advance Notice: Road Maintenance - CHIPSEAL CONTRACT

Kāpiti Coast District Council (KCDC) is responsible for the maintenance and operations of a transport network, including local roads. The Kāpiti Coast’s position as a gateway to the Wellington region and improved regional transport links make it attractive to people seeking lifestyle changes and housing choice. The Kāpiti Coast has undergone significant growth and is forecast to continue to grow over the next 30 years.

The KCDC intends to seek proposals from suitably qualified and experienced Contractors for the delivery of annual Chipseal Programme of KCDC roads for an initial 3-year term with subsequent rights of renewal.

What we need
We are looking for a contracting company which has the resources and capacity to complete our chip-sealing programme over the summer period for each year of the contract.

What’s important to us?
We recognise that the key driver of our chip seal programme is to resurface the road pavement to restore its waterproofing and trafficability function, so track record, previous experience and adequate resources are key requirements.
However, KCDC is also looking for providers who can offer a collaborative approach to contracting with Council and have the capacity and capability to offer broader community and environmental outcomes.
Examples of these broader outcomes could include having Living Wage policies, minimising and/or recycling waste product or using bitumen emulsions. KCDC will encourage providers to propose other outcomes they feel may be relevant.

Why should you bid?
This is a unique opportunity to enter into a multi-year contract and become a long-term partner with KCDC to deliver the annual chipseal contract.

Interested? What’s next?
We intend to release the Request for Tenders (RFT) during August 2024, with responses expected within 4-weeks of the tender release date and a successful supplier appointed in October 2024.

The opportunity will be advertised on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS).
