Details

The City is seeking an experienced design consultant to undertake the detailed design of a new roundabout at the intersection of Forrest Avenue and Wisbey Street.

The upgrade is being driven by the development of the new South West Aboriginal Medical Service (SWAMS) Health Hub at Jaycee Park. The additional traffic and access demands generated by the facility require the existing intersection to be upgraded to a roundabout to maintain safe and efficient operation for all road users.

The City is providing a concept design, which the successful consultant will develop through to a construction-ready detailed design. The design is to address civil works, stormwater drainage, street lighting and service/utility design and coordination, with due consideration given to road safety, construction and whole-of-life cost, and asset lifecycle.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

SWAMS is developing a new Health Hub at Jaycee Park, which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2027. As a condition of the Health Hub development approval, SWAMS is required to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Forrest Avenue and Wisbey Street to provide safe access to the facility from Forrest Avenue.

The City is project-managing the design and construction of the roundabout on behalf of SWAMS.

A concept design and a Road Safety Audit have been prepared for the intersection by Shawmac, and are provided with this Request for Quote as the basis for the detailed design (Appendices C and D). Respondents should note that the Road Safety Audit (Shawmac Traffic & Safety, ref. 2404019-RSA-001, April 2024) was undertaken on the development application plans (SWAMS Health Hub DA July 2020, Rev 3) and pre-dates the concept design at Appendix D (Shawmac drawings 2404004-201, -901 and -902, Rev B, June 2024).

The City is arranging a feature survey and utility locating, which will be provided to the successful consultant on award.

A number of existing services are located within and around the intersection. Assessment of these services, including advising whether each is to be protected or relocated, and designing/coordinating any relocations, forms part of the required scope of services.

The City is also arranging a geotechnical and environmental investigation, which is expected to be available by January 2027 and will be provided to the successful consultant.

A new Transbunbury bus stop to service the new Health Hub is included in the concept plan as a future provision only. The City has been corresponding with the PTA regarding the proposed bus stop / embayment and will supply the correspondence to the successful consultant.

Forrest Avenue is classified as a Local Distributor under the Main Roads WA functional road hierarchy. Wisbey Street is classified as an Access Road. Both roads are managed by the City.

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.
