Wellington City Council

Contractor Panel – Transitional Cycleway and Minor Works

The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals from suitably qualified contractors, with a focus on smaller contractors, in particular local , Māori, and Pasifika contractors, to establish a Panel Agreement for the delivery of Wellington City Council’s (Council) Minor Works Programme (road safety improvement works) and Transitional Cycleways (streetscape and bike/bus/pedestrian improvements) throughout Wellington city over the next five years.

Council seeks to establish and build strong relationships with committed Contractors that have the experience and capabilities to consistently deliver services on time, achieve value for money, quality and provide reliable productivity – and contribute significantly to the local economy through positive local impact. The duration of the Panel Agreement will be for five years from the commencement date with an initial three years with one right of renewal of two years.

It is planned to divide the Panel into:
a) A Head Contractor Panel: Council expects this to be comprised of Contractors that have the capability and competency to self-perform work packages, and/or act as the Head Contracting party and manage Subcontractors. Up to 5 contractors will be contracted to this panel;
b) A Subcontractor Panel: Council expects this to be comprised of predominantly smaller Contractors (in particular local, Māori, and Pasifika), that can act in the capacity of a subcontractor to a Head Contractor, or a direct contractor of minor works to Council. Up to 10 contractors will be appointed to this panel.
