School Safety & Pedestrian Crossing Upgrade (Stage 1)

Porirua City Council issues this RFT, referred to below as “the buyer,” “we,” or “us.”

The publication of Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 requires all Local Authorities to reduce 40% of School Speed Limits by 2024, with all reductions completed by 2030. Physical safety improvements are necessary to ensure speed reductions are effective. In parallel with the above, PCC’s Road Safety Strategy and 2021 Activity Management Plan identified the School Safety Programme and the Pedestrian Crossing upgrades program as key priorities to improve road safety.

This procurement relates to physical construction work to improve safety in 20 sites around Porirua. Sixteen (16) of them are within the school zones, and four (4) are standalone pedestrian crossings along key routes or businesses. The project is separated into two stages for construction.

1. Stage 1 comprises 12 sites. The construction is programmed from February 2023 – May 2023.
2. Stage 2 comprises 8 sites. The construction is programmed from September 2023 – March 2024.
