Details

Mount Alexander Shire Council (MASC) is committed to upgrading, maintaining and rehabilitating infrastructure in an efficient and timely manner. The existing drainage network contains both overland and piped stormwater drainage.

In 2022 Mount Alexander Shire experienced heavy rainfall resulting in localised flash flooding throughout the shire, with many areas identified for improved drainage.

The storm water catchment in Farnsworth Street is initially captured by the underground drainage network before it then outfalls via an overland flow path towards View Street/Forest Street.

The objective of this construction project is to improve the underground storm water connection along a section of Farnsworth Street, View Street and Forest Street. Drainage designs have been completed for the drainage connection and kerb construction.

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.
