Details

Muswellbrook Shire Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified, licensed and experienced contractors to permanently decommission the former underground petroleum storage system (UPSS) and underground LPG storage infrastructure at Muswellbrook Marketplace, 72–78 Brook Street, Muswellbrook NSW 2333.

The preferred approach is permanent in-situ decommissioning because physical removal of the underground tanks is considered not reasonably practicable due to restricted access, excavation depth and the proximity of existing Marketplace structural elements. The works include petroleum product recovery, tank cleaning and gas-freeing, inert foam filling of petroleum USTs and associated pipework, specialist decommissioning and cementitious grout filling of the underground LPG vessel, removal of redundant above-ground fuel infrastructure and the oil/water separator, waste disposal, environmental validation and final decommissioning reporting.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment 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.
