Details

Swan Hill Rural City Council (Council) is undertaking pedestrian safety improvements within the Swan Hill CBD through the installation of raised pedestrian operated signals at three key locations.

The project forms part of Council’s program of infrastructure works and is intended to provide compliant pedestrian crossing infrastructure within busy urban areas. The works will be undertaken on existing road networks where maintaining safe access and minimising disruption to pedestrians, businesses, residents and road users will be important throughout construction.

Due to the specialised nature of the works, delivery requires a suitably experienced and Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) accredited contractor, with all works to comply with relevant DTP/TAC standards and requirements.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake pedestrian operated signal (POS) works at three locations within the Swan Hill CBD:

  • Site 1: Beveridge Street – adjacent to Coles (Package 1)
  • Site 2: Campbell Street – near the Commercial Hotel (Package 2)
  • Site 3: Campbell Street – near Arc Expresso (Package 7)

Works are to be appropriately staged to minimise disruption to traffic movements within Swan Hill and to ensure that all affected areas are not restricted simultaneously.

Council’s preference is for works at Site 1 and Site 2 to be undertaken concurrently using separate resources, followed by the works at Site 7.

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.
