Akaroa Wharf Rebuild - Project Management Services

The purpose of this RFP is to invite Prospective Suppliers to submit their Proposals for an External Project Manager (“External PM”) to support the successful rebuild of Akaroa Wharf. The External PM will work to supplement (not duplicate) the activities of the Council project manager supporting project delivery across the entire project.

The role initially comprises an estimated 16 hours per week, we expect and anticipate flexibility from the External PM to work with peaks and troughs in activity. The External PM appointed must be Canterbury based as they will need to be able to travel regularly to Akaroa, particularly when construction is underway.

The objective of this RFP process is to enable the Council to select and appoint a supplier to provide External Project Management services (“PM Services”), by obtaining sufficiently detailed information from Prospective Suppliers about their respective organisations and their ability to provide the PM Services.

What we are not looking for! We are NOT looking for an External PM who:
• Lacks the necessary marine experience and/or qualifications commensurate with the role and responsibilities articulated in the accompanying Project Manager Specification. Those without this experience are encouraged NOT to respond to this opportunity.
• Has minimal (NZS 3910) Engineers Representative and Contract Administration experience.
• Is unable to commit sufficient Resources unable to fulfil the estimated 16 hours per week.
• Is not familiar with the local area and/or who don’t have a clear connection to the Project and the region.
