Three waters environmental and stormwater discharge monitoring, analysis and reporting

The Dunedin City Council (DCC) 3 Waters Group manages the DCC’s drinking water, wastewater and stormwater systems. These activities are subject to external drinking water and environmental regulatory regimes. The DCC is seeking proposals for the provision of monitoring, analysis and reporting services that require specialist ecological and environmental science skills. Specifically, the services the DCC is seeking relate to:
• Stormwater monitoring, analysis and reporting, including stormwater discharge quality and receiving environment monitoring required by the resource consents for discharges from the stormwater system.
• Other discharge-related environmental monitoring, analysis and reporting, as required by resource consents for discharges from DCC wastewater and water treatment plants.
• Monitoring, analysis and reporting of cyanobacteria for DCC drinking water sources, in accordance with the DCC’s cyanobacteria monitoring and response plans prepared under with the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules.

We seek to partner with a Supplier for the long term with a contract of up to 10 years, subject to performance. We want a Supplier that is proactive, allocates staff resources efficiently, takes ownerships, meets deadlines and can demonstrate a dynamic approach to their work. It is important that the successful Supplier works collaboratively with us and has the flexibility to respond to urgent, reactive monitoring, analysis and reporting when routine monitoring provides results that are unexpected and/or indicate an issue that requires an immediate response.
