The objective is to carryout construction within the timeframe highlighted in this tender document, minimise impact on Rolleston residents, and coordinate with the nearby construction of the new SH1 /Rolleston Drive Overpass to the east. The existing intersection has a significant number of services located under the carriageway, grass verges and rail crossing as well as overhead power services. The proposed works include the construction of an upgraded Rail Crossing, road pavement, footpath, drainage, streetlights, service and water race relocations, landscaping, signs and line marking, and streetlights to accommodate the work. Scope of Works This project consists of upgrades to Two Chain/Wards/Jones Road intersection realignment and KiwiRail Level Crossing. The contract works will consist of: • Site Clearance • Temporary Traffic Management • Earthworks • Stormwater Drainage • Water Race replacement • Pavements and Surfacing • Utility Service relocation including undergrounding of overhead power • Traffic Services • KiwiRail corridor construction including rail crossing upgrade • Landscaping

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
