These bridges are the Oparara river bridge and Mosseyburn Bridge located on SH67 Karamea Highway, Kohaihai Road, 5.6 km and 17km North of the Karamea township. These bridges are located in C5 & C4 Corrosivity zones on the West Coast. BDC is seeking tender submissions and prices for two specified protective coating options.

Tenderers must submit one tender submission containing a complete and fully compliant price for Option A, Option B, or both pricing options. Where both pricing options are submitted, they must be included within the same tender submission.

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.
