Waikanae Community Hub Design Services

Kāpiti Coast District Council is looking for design services for all phases from concept to detailed design and construction drawings. The successful tenderer will have proven architecture experience in community facilities projects, partnering with mana whenua, and can provide examples of previous projects of a similar nature and scale.

The successful supplier will need to provide the following additional services:

• Coordination of all design services including specialist input i.e. engineering services and sub-trades.
• Management of consent applications.
• Tender documentation for the construction contractor procurement. Provide support to tender briefing, evaluations and interviews.
• Construction observation and monitoring.

The Waikanae Library & Service Centre located at 15 Mahara Place, Waikanae was closed in November 2018 due to poor air quality and the detection of mould. Based on the building condition report, 15 Mahara Place had significant water tightness issues that originated from failing membrane lined roof gutters and an array of failing junction details. The Council has temporarily rehoused the library and service centre at 9 Mahara Place.
The structural elements of the building are considered in good condition. The building requires several major weather tightness issues to be resolved along with some minor structural repair works. The Council wishes to strip the building down to the bare structural elements and conduct a major refurbishment.
