Olveston Historic Home, Electrical Upgrade – Electrical (lead) contractor

The Dunedin City Council (DCC) seeks to engage a lead contractor, an Electrical Company, to upgrade the electrical systems at Olveston Historic Home (Olveston), 42 Royal Terrace, Dunedin. A non-invasive visual inspection of the buildings has identified electrical upgrade works. Engaging and working with nominated sub-contractors will be part of the Electrical Contractor’s role to ensure that the carpentry, plaster and painting work is carried out to a high standard and in a timely manner in conjunction with the electrical work. The successful Contractor and subcontractors will be required to work in consultation with heritage specialists appointed by the DCC.

We seek submissions from suitably qualified and experienced electrical contractors. It is important for us that we work with a Contractor experienced in electrical work on heritage buildings and can demonstrate a track record of completing compliant work in a sympathetic manner whilst preserving the original heritage fabric. We require the Contractor to adhere to programme to ensure our project deadline of 30 September 2026 is achieved. The Contractor will need to efficiently utilise the two-month period (July/August) when the building is closed to the public to carry out all work in public areas.

A site visit is scheduled for this tender. Refer to the Request for Tender (RFT) for details.
