Case Scenario
Your company has taken on a project to modify a 1970s era primary school and is going to prepare a tender submission for the work
The project:
The existing school library building, which is beyond economical repair, is to be demolished. A new single level, corrugated steel roof and timber weatherboard clad structure will be built in its place to provide a new library and administration hall. There will need to be fire protection between this new building and existing classrooms that adjoin it. This is a Ministry of Education-led property project.
Budget:
A budget of $390,000 (exclusive of GST) has been approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE). As the cost of work exceeds $100,000, the MoE requires that the opportunity to undertake the work be open to all suitably qualified building contractors through the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS). The Board of Trustees have said they would like to support the community by engaging a local construction company, and because it is a school, clear start and finish dates for the work are required. They expect the project to start this year or early next year.
