PK2405 - Prospero Place Development - Request for Proposal - Northeast Plaza Detailed Design

The successful Supplier will be required to produce detailed designs and other deliverables outlined further in this document for the revitalisation of town lighting and upgrade of Prospero Place. The revitalisation aims to transform Prospero Place into a vibrant community gathering space, enhance connectivity with surrounding areas, and elevate the overall aesthetic value of the town centre.

The development will take into account the following elements:
1. Acknowledgement of the seven Iwi in the Stratford District: Ngaa Rauru Kitahi, Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tama, Te Atiawa, Ngāruahine, and Ngāti Ruanui.
2. Recognition of Stratford’s connection to Shakespeare.
3. Demonstration of best practices for sustainability within Prospero Place.
4. Preservation of space for the Prospero Markets.

Lighting throughout the town centre will complement the Prospero Place development, as well as providing an environment that meets Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) standards and is visually appealing for the community.

Council has earmarked approximately $1.2 million in years 1 to 3 of the 2024/34 Long-Term Plan for the design and construction of a town centre in the Stratford CBD. Therefore, the entire project will be completed in three stages:
• Year 1: $300,000 in the 2024/25 financial year for the detailed design of the entire area and first stage of construction of the Prospero Place development.
• Year 2: $510,350 in the 2025/26 financial year for implementation of lighting along Broadway and Stage 2 of construction of the Prospero Place development.
• Year 3: $416,370 in the 2026/27 financial year for implementation of Stage 3 construction of the Prospero Place development and town illumination to complete the project.

This works will consider the stages of construction for the Prospero Place development and be designed to ensure smooth transitions between each stage. It is important that the design and construction adheres to this budgetary constraint. Adjustments to the design may be necessary upon receiving tenders to ensure it aligns with the allocated budget.
