The expected cost estimate for the project is $65.9 million including physical and enabling works, fees and land acquisition. Council has approved the Business Case and co-funding has been confirmed for the pre-implementation phase from NZTA. Following review of the responses to a recent Market Sounding (Contract reference 26/16) , this invitation is to register interest to be shortlisted and invited to tender for the physical works contract as well as provide services during the design phase (ECI). Council is seeking experienced civil contractors with the capability and capacity to construct the Rangiora Eastern Link. Approximately three contractors will be shortlisted and initially engaged under separate fixed-fee Early Contractor Involvement agreements before being invited to tender for the main construction contract, likely in later 2027 or early 2028. Council is looking for contractors with a strong record in delivering comparable transport infrastructure, appropriate technical and commercial capability, a collaborative approach, and the resources to deliver the physical works contract.
