Main Contractor for Combined Schools Pool & Veranda Translucent Roofing Replacements

During the development of recent 10 Year Property Plans of several rural schools throughout Southland, seven schools have been identified as having existing non-compliant unsafe translucent roofing to their pool and covered veranda roof structures. To make the procurement process more efficient and easier for Contractors, It has been agreed to advertise the School’s all under one Request For Tender (RFT) package. Main contractors can choose to tender all or as many of the schools as they may deem appropriate. Each School must be priced separately as each School will be evaluated on its own merits. Upon tender award, individual contract agreements will be entered into with each individual School’s Board of Trustees. The schools involved include:
Drummond Primary School
Edendale School
Knapdale School
Waianiwa School
Waikaka Primary School
Woodlands Full Primary School
Menzies College

The proposed design options for the pool cladding replacement have been based on a dual skin layer system. Tenderers attention is drawn to the appended alternative specification and additional line item in the tender summary schedule whereby an alternative single layer alternative will also be considered if there are significant cost savings to be realised.
