Industry Participation Policy

Wednesday 30th September 2015

5 Office of the Industry Advocate

Industry Participation Advocate To build Awareness, to Create Opportunities, to Initiate Change


Our Objectives

Build capacity of local businesses to successfully tender for Government contracts

Policy and practices that remove impediments and support local participation

Procurement reforms that provide greater economic benefit to the State and local businesses


Industry Participation Policy Employment, Investment, Supply inputs


Key Drivers of Economic Contribution from Procurement

directly linked to the delivery of contracts on behalf of the

South Australian Government

SUPPLY INPUTS Value of goods and supplies

sourced from South Australian businesses

EMPLOYMENT Number of South Australian

jobs or labour hours

INVESTMENT Amount of new capital expenditure in South

Australia

The physical location or the registered office of a business does not necessarily translate to economic benefit to the State. This is primarily through jobs, investment and supply inputs

Currently a minimum weighting of 10% applies across the following sectors; • Heavy and civil engineering construction • Professional, scientific and technical services • Non-residential building construction • Electrical equipment manufacturing

Recent DPTI projects have 15% Industry Participation; Recognising the importance of economic contribution to an award of contract.


Current Industry Participation Requirements

CONTRACT VALUE

REQUIREMENT

$22,000 to $220,000

• Can the product or service be

sourced within the State or region. • Obtain one quote from a local

source. • Employment Contribution Test

applies to primary and secondary contracts.



CONTRACT VALUE

REQUIREMENT

$220,000 to $4m (metro) or $1m (regional)

• Employment Contribution Test –

minimum weighting of 5% • Is there merit for increasing the

weighting



CONTRACT VALUE

REQUIREMENT

Above $4m (metro) or $1m (regional)

• Industry Participation evaluation –

minimum weighting of 5% or 10%*

• Industry Participation Plan required

• Is there merit for increasing the IP

weighting


Industry Participation Plan requirements

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE

POTENTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE

USE OF LOCAL LABOUR. We are seeking the number of labour hours your business will employ directly to

deliver the contract should you be successful.



THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE POTENTIAL

ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE.

• What is the total value of investment to be sourced from within South

Australia?

• What is the total value of investment to be permanently located in South

Australia?



THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO MEASURE THE POTENTIAL

ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE STATE THROUGH THE USE OF SUPPLY

INPUTS. (E.G. MERCHANDISE, FINISHED PRODUCTS, FOOD AND

BEVERAGES, SUPPLIES AND RAW MATERIALS)

• Will your business deliver this contract entirely in-house? • Will all supply inputs valued at $110,000 or more be sourced exclusively from

within South Australia?

• What supply inputs valued at over $110,000, will you purchase to deliver this

contract?

Industry Participation Plan Implementation: • Industry Participation Plan commitments become part of

contract conditions • Early engagement with industry • Input from OIA on work packages • Industry Advisory Committee/Reference group • Commitments to use SA based suppliers and

subcontractors • Subcontractors bound by the same SA Industry

Participation requirements • Monitoring and reporting


CONNECTING WITH BUSINESS PROGRAM Supplying to Government Workshops A Suppliers Guide to Winning Government Business

Northern Connector Project

Topics covered include: • Knowing Your Customer • Understanding the Rules • Understanding the Process • Finding Opportunities • Building Relationships • Tendering to Win

Northern Connector

Adelaide’s North-South Corridor

Northern Connector (due for completion 2019/20)


Funded Sections • Darlington Upgrade Project • Torrens Road to River Torrens • Northern Connector Project

» $985m

Unfunded Sections • Regency Road to Torrens Road • Torrens Road to Anzac Highway • Anzac Highway to Ayliffes Road

Northern Connector

Objective • To deliver a new non-stop road corridor between the

Northern Expressway and South Road Superway

Benefits • Significant improved freight access to the Port of Adelaide

and surrounding industrial areas; • Improved road safety and efficiency; • Reduction in travel times; • Local employment – Jobs, Jobs, Jobs !!!

Northern Connector


“People to places. Businesses to markets”

• Integration of transport infrastructure with land use planning

- future urban growth areas (including areas under investigation)

- new strategic employment lands

NORTHERN CONNECTOR PROJECT

Progress to Date


• Commenced in 2008 and on-going Community and stakeholder

engagement

• Integrated Road & Rail Project (January 2009; November 2009) • Road Project Only (August 2012) → Threshold status on Priority List

Submissions to Infrastructure Australia

• July 2011 Development and release of the

Project Impact Report

• May 2015 Development and release of Scoping Report for 10 Year Delivery Strategy

• 14 September 2015 Joint Australian Government and SA Government funding commitment


Project Scope

• A new road (15.5 kilometres), three lanes in each direction, between the Northern Expressway and the South Road Superway

• A shared-use (16 kilometres) pedestrian and cycle path

• Four road interchanges: - Northern Exp. / Port Wakefield Rd interchange - Waterloo Corner Rd interchange - Bolivar Rd interchange - South Rd / Port River Exp. Interchange

Project Scope (continued)

• Earth embankment (i.e. partial sea wall) through salt fields (i.e. forming embankment for future rail corridor)

• Wetland offset or rehabilitation areas (for flood storage, water quality treatment and habitat)

PROJECT

Challenges

• Timeframes to achieve necessary statutory and internal approvals (e.g. EPBC, Aboriginal heritage, Public Works Committee, procurement) may impact the commencement of the delivery program

• Development of the Ridley salt field site – nature and timing currently unknown

• Timeframes to undertake acquisitions and secure right-of-entry may result in delays to works program, including: - approximately 40% land parcels already Government owned


Challenges

• Construction interfaces with existing Northern Expressway and South Road Superway, and service relocations

• Impacts of other infrastructure projects across Australia

• Capacity of local industry

PROJECT

Environmental Issues

Northern Connector

Birds: • threatened ecological communities, bird species and their habitats

may be impacted by the project.

• DPTI will submit a referral to the Federal Minister for the Environment to determine if the project requires approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.

• Opportunities to minimise project impact to native vegetation, fauna habitats and wetlands will need to be investigated/provided.


Northern Connector

Contamination: • Approximately 500 000 m3 of waste fill/intermediate

waste soil is located at materials storage facilities along the corridor (Northern Expressway/Port Wakefield Road; Roberts Lane, Waterloo Corner; Summer Road, Waterloo Corner).

• It is available for reuse on the project in line with EPA requirements.


Northern Connector

Sustainability:

• The project will be registered to pursue a design and as-built rating under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia's (ISCA) rating scheme.

Geotechnical Investigations

Northern Connector

Previously undertaken (2009 to 2010): • Planning Investigation along alignment by Aurecon

followed by a further investigation in Saltworks

• Northern Connector Fill Source Investigations by DPTI

• Limited Shallow Investigation in Saltworks by DPTI

• Limited Investigations south of Barker Inlet by DPTI for Northern Connector and Coffey for the Superway


Northern Connector

Inferred Soil Conditions north of Bolivar • Generally very stiff clay soils, with local areas of sand

and occasional shallow groundwater

Inferred Soil Conditions south of Bolivar • Variable marine and estuarine sediments, consisting of

soft clays, loose sands, and organic underlain by very stiff clay

• Issues to consider shallow saline groundwater, consolidation and creep settlements of embankments, actual or potential acid sulphate soils


Northern Connector


Northern Connector

Proposed Investigations: • Detailed Geotechnical Investigation along centreline and

at interchanges (commence November 2015)

• Trial Embankment to be constructed in saltworks where alignment crosses deepest estuarine sediments (constructed during November 2015)

• Sampling of Stockpiled Material for DPTI Material Classification to reuse in embankments (commence Oct 2015)
