RFx ID: 24554739.

Close Date: Friday, 13 August 2021, 4:00 PM (Pacific/Auckland UTC+12:00).
Tender Type: Request for Proposals (RFP).
Overview:
Dunedin City Council (DCC) are vested in improving the safety of Dunedin’s transportation network.
Wharf Street is an arterial road located to the south of Dunedin City centre and adjacent to the harbour side. It has been identified as a corridor for improvement within the Shaping Future Dunedin Transport (SFDT) programme.
As an essential corridor for the movement of freight and people through Dunedin, Wharf Street is one of Dunedin’s busiest roads with high volume of traffic. Over time the Dunedin City Council has identified a package of interventions to help maintain an efficient transport network whilst improving connectivity, user experience and safety, particularly for vulnerable road users. This includes upgrading the intersections with Birch Street, Roberts Street and Kitchener Street to improve safety and accessibility for vehicular access in and out of the Harbour Basin Area.
The corridor is a popular cycle route for commuter access to and from the city centre, for which this project aims to improve safety for cyclists through a combination of widening existing shared paths, providing upgraded crossing facilities and promoting alternate route options.
Works therefore include, but are not limited to, kerb and channel realignment, pavement reinstatement, new footpath construction, traffic islands, traffic signals and landscaping.
This is an opportunity for Contractors experienced in these types of works to be involved in providing
an environment that enhances the well-being of the ratepayers of our city.
