Tenderers may be required to undertake to provide to the Principal (or its nominated agent) upon request

all such information as the Principal reasonably requires to satisfy itself that Tenderers are financially viable

and have the financial capability to provide the Services for which they are submitting and to otherwise

meet their obligations under any proposed Contract. The Principal reserves the right to engage (at its own

cost) an independent financial assessor as a nominated agent to conduct financial assessments under

conditions of strict confidentiality. For this assessment to be completed, a representative from the

nominated agent may contact you concerning the financial information that you are required to provide.

The financial assessment is specifically for use by the Principal for the purpose of assessing Tenderers and

will be treated as strictly confidential.

EVALUATION PROCESS

This is a Request for Tender.

Your Tender will be evaluated using information provided in your Tender.

The following evaluation methodology will be used in respect of this Request:

(a) Tenders are checked for completeness and compliance. Tenders that do not contain all information

requested (eg. completed Offer form and Attachments) may be excluded from evaluation.

(b) Tenders are assessed against the Selection Criteria. Contract costs are evaluated, eg tendered prices

and other relevant whole of life costs are considered.

(c) The most suitable Tenderers may be short listed and may also be required to clarify their Tender,

make a presentation, demonstrate the product/solution offered and/or open premises for

inspection. Referees may also be contacted prior to the selection of the successful Tenderer.

A Contract may then be awarded to the Tenderer whose Tender is considered the most advantageous

Tender to the Principal.


SELECTION CRITERIA

The Contract may be awarded to either a sole or group of Tenderer(s) who best demonstrates the ability to

provide quality products and/or services at a competitive price. The tendered prices will be assessed

together with qualitative and compliance criteria to determine the most advantageous outcome to the

Principal.

The Principal has adopted a best value for money approach to this Request.

This means that, although price is considered, the Tender containing the lowest price will not necessarily be

accepted, nor will the Tender ranked the highest on the qualitative criteria.

A scoring system will be used as part of the assessment of the qualitative criteria. Unless otherwise stated,

a Tender that provides all the information requested will be assessed as satisfactory. The extent to which a

Tender demonstrates greater satisfaction of each of these criteria will result in a greater score. The

aggregate score of each Tender will be used as one of the factors in the final assessment of the qualitative

criteria and in the overall assessment of value for money.

COMPLIANCE CRITERIA

These criteria are detailed within Part 5 of this document and will not be point scored. Each Tender will be

assessed on a Yes/No basis as to whether the criterion is satisfactorily met. An assessment of “No” against

any criterion may eliminate the Tender from consideration.

QUALITATIVE CRITERIA

In determining the most advantageous Tender, the Evaluation Panel will score each Tenderer against the

qualitative criteria as detailed within Part 5 of this document. Each criterion will be weighted to indicate

the relative degree of importance that the Principal places on the technical aspects of the goods or services

being purchased.

It is essential that Tenderers address each qualitative criterion. Information that you provide addressing

each qualitative criterion will be point scored by the Evaluation Panel. Failure to provide the specified

information may result in elimination from the tender evaluation process or a low score.

PRICE CONSIDERATIONS

The non-weighted cost method is used where functional considerations such as capacity, quality,

transitional and adaptability are seen to be crucial to the outcome of the contract. The evaluation panel will

make a series of value judgements based on the capability of the Tenderers to complete the Requirements

and a number of factors will be considered including:

(a) the qualitative ranking of each Tenderer; and

(b) the pricing submitted by each Tenderer.


Once the tenders have been ranked, the evaluation panel will make a value judgement as to the cost

affordability, qualitative ranking and risk of each Tender, in order to determine the Tender which is most

advantageous to the Principal.

The tendered price will be considered along with related factors affecting the total cost to the Principal. eg

the lifetime operating costs of goods or the Principal’s contract management costs may also be considered

in assessing the best value for money outcome.

REGIONAL PRICE PREFERENCE

Tenderers for these works may be afforded a preference in accordance with Regulation 24A-G of the Local

Government (Functions and General) Regulations and Perenjori Shire Policy Number 4008 – “Buy Local

Policy”, adopted 18th June 2009.

The Policy stipulates that local preference may be afforded:

To contribute to regional sustainability by supporting local businesses; and

To provide the best value for money for the Shire of Perenjori.

PRICE BASIS

All prices for goods/services offered under this Request are to be fixed for the term of the Contract.

Tendered prices must include Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Unless otherwise indicated prices tendered must include delivery, unloading, and all applicable levies,

duties, taxes and charges. Any charge not stated in the Tender, as being additional will not be allowed as a

charge for any transaction under any resultant Contract.

OWNERSHIP OF TENDERS

All documents, materials, articles and information submitted by the Tenderer as part of or in support of a

Tender will become upon submission the absolute property of the Principal and will not be returned to the

Tenderer at the conclusion of the Tender process PROVIDED that the Tenderer be entitled to retain

copyright and other intellectual property rights therein, unless otherwise provided by the Contract.

CANVASSING OF OFFICIALS

If a Tenderer, whether personally or by an agent, canvasses any of the Principal’s Commissioners or

Councillors (as the case may be) Officers with a view to influencing the acceptance of any Tender made by

it or any other Tenderer, then regardless of such canvassing having any influence on the acceptance of such

Tender, the Principal may at its absolute discretion omit the Tenderer from consideration.

IDENTITY OF THE TENDERER

The identity of the Tenderer and the Contractor is fundamental to the Principal. The Tenderer will be the

person, persons, corporation or corporations named as the Tenderer in Part 5 and whose execution

appears on the Offer Form in Part 5 of this Request. Upon acceptance of the Tender, the Tenderer will

become the Contractor.


COSTS OF TENDERING

The Principal will not be liable for payment to the Tenderer for any costs, losses or expenses incurred by

the Tenderer in preparing their Offer.

TENDER OPENING

Tenders will be opened in the Principal’s offices, following the advertised Deadline. All Tenderers and

members of the public may attend or be represented at the opening of Tenders.

The names of the persons who submitted a Tender by the due Deadline will be read out at the tender

opening. No discussions will be entered into between Tenderers and the Principal’s officers present or

otherwise, concerning the Tenders submitted.

The Tender opening will be held on as soon as practicable after the Deadline at Perenjori Shire Office, 40

Fowler Street, Perenjori.

SPECIFICATION

CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS IN BRIEF

The requirement for this project is the conversion of an existing up-fronted steel shed structure into

enclosed workshop premises.

A full statement of the goods and/or services required under the proposed contract appears in the

Specification.

DEFINITIONS

Below is a summary of some of the important defined terms used in this Part:

Contractors

Representative:

Means any Officer or person duly authorised by the Contractor, in writing, to

act on its behalf for the purpose of the Contract;

Principals Representative: Means any Officer or person duly authorised by the Principal, in writing, to act

INTRODUCTION

The conversion of the existing up-fronted steel shed is for the purpose of developing business tenancy units

to provide an opportunity for small businesses that are either newly created or new to the region to be

able to set up a facility from which to operate that can then be configured to meet their business needs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Perenjori Business incubator centre is aligned with the Perenjori Shire’s strategic development object Area 2

– Industry and Business Development – Our Economy goal “Fostering and maximizing growth across the

economy, embracing opportunities for diversifying and strengthening our economic base.”

In May 2010, a workgroup was formed with the title of “Leaving a Legacy” was held in Perenjori to discuss the

future opportunities being presented by the investments being made by the mining industry in the Midwest and

actions were developed by key regional, state organization’s and private enterprise to ensure that the Midwest

regional councils were supported in strategic decisions to ensure that the appropriate funding and investments

were being made to support the potential growth within the area.

The results of the “Economic Development Strategy” report completed by Pracsys in 2006 demonstrated that

given the number of mining development projects within the Shire of Perenjori which outlined a modeling plan

for the development of housing, infrastructure and businesses to meet the needs and estimated growth as a

result of the investment being made by the mining & exploration companies. (Pracsys, July, 2006)

The Perenjori Shire Council during this time were going through the decision making process of identifying how

they could provide support to the upcoming projects to ensure that key activities were able to progress in relation

to the construction activities whilst also considering what other activities the Perenjori shire could undertake to

provide further economic support to their community and regional business partners.


At this stage the development of industrial land was proposed and the major mining construction project for

Karara Mining commenced with a commitment to supporting local businesses which has resulted in more than

fifteen (15) local (Perenjori based) business’s and community services having benefited from the opportunities

that have arisen from this one project.

The results of the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) national census conducted in 2011showed that the

population growth in Perenjori from 2006 until 2011 had developed at a rate of 4.2%, this exceeds all of our

neighbouring shires. Additionally, research conducted by Pracsys in 2006 demonstrated that the average

expenditure for households within the Shire of Perenjori is set to increase by more than 20% each year, which is

4% higher than the national average. (Summary of Results – Household Expenditure, ABS, 2011)

Further research was conducted in 2012with results showing the following;

Improved / Increased number of retail options

Opportunities for new enterprises

Business Support / Training

Workforce development / training

Industrial area with office space provided

Even though the local businesses have experienced growth resulting in the need for an increased number of

personnel, the actual number of businesses located within the town of Perenjori has seen almost no change since

2006.

A business incubator centre provides an opportunity for suppliers / vendors to be closer to their clients to be able

to service their needs more effectively, as well as the development of new industry in our region which can

support the community and the mining and agricultural industries. Business Incubator centre’s have been proven

to provide an increase 20 times more jobs than community infrastructure projects (US Department of Commerce

Economic Development Administration, 2009)

The development of opportunities for new businesses to be located within the Perenjori business district can

provide the following benefits;

Improved response times to reduce the impact on business and the community groups

Improved social well-being through confidence in service levels meeting demands

Fill generally as required or as shown on the drawings, and as follows:

Under concrete floor slabs cast on ground:

First 50mm below slab: sand blinding.


Remainder: 100mm compacted sand for non-suspended slab.

To retaining walls or walls below grade: free draining granular material.

Bearing Surfaces in Rock

Where structural loads bear on rock, unless otherwise specified, scabble the rock face to give even plane bearing surfaces, level unless required to be sloping or stepped. Bored pier holes are to be taken a minimum of 150mm below the rock surface and the bottoms cleaned of loose matter.

Compaction

Place filling in layers not exceeding 150mm deep when measured loose.

Bring filling to optimum water content by watering, and compact each layer thoroughly and uniformly with a

vibrating roller where practicable.

Hand tamp against ground or perimeter beams or walls.

Compact each layer of filling to obtain a uniform density of not less than 95% of the maximum density at

optimum moisture content as determined by the Dry Density/Moisture Content tests set out in AS 1289.

Finish the base to the following tolerances:

Variation from designed level : 5mm

Variation from 3000mm straight edge : 5mm

Waterproof Membrane

Lay on approved sand blinding - Refer Clause 307. Where necessary, cut sheets to maximum practical width, to

suit the layout, and arrange laps to face away from the direction of the pour.

Provide laps as recommended by the manufacturer, but not less than 200mm. Seal laps with pressure adhesives

or tapes as recommended by the manufacturer of the underlay and ensure that the adhered surface of the

underlay is dry and clean.

Take the underlay up walls to level of top of future concrete slab or as otherwise instructed. Seal service pipes

and similar elements when they penetrate the underlay. Allow ample slack to avoid pulling at tape junctions.

Cover vertical or inclined surfaces in an unbroken sheet where possible. Otherwise arrange laps vertically to avoid

pulling at joints. Fix at the top with tape or other recommended fixing.

Inspect membrane after laying and before concrete is poured. Patch and seal punctures.

Maintain the membrane or underlays in their best possible condition throughout the construction period.

PART III EXECUTION

Examination

Visit site and inspect conditions, comparing conditions to drawings, before delivery of materials to site. Rectify any discrepancy or unsuitability of substrate. Start of work means total acceptance of conditions.

Conditions of Installation

A. Rectify substrate so that when checked with a 2m straightedge, gap under the straightedge does not exceed 6mm.


B. Allow new concrete to dry out for at least 4 weeks before rendering or direct fixing of tiles.

Setting Out

A. As far as possible, set out work so that no tile less than half size occurs. Align joints in floor tile at right angles to each other and straight with walls to conform to patterns selected. Verify locations of equipment before installing tile. Co-ordinate with plumbing and other trades. Fully tile surfaces under surface-mounted items.

B. Expansion Joints Set out panels of tiling so that tiles may expand or contract to and from corners of tiled walls and floors. Allow for expansion in each corner of 5mm minimum. Fill expansion joints with silicone rubber.

C. Control Joints Provide control joint

1. At junctions of dissimilar wall construction. 2. In walls, no more than 2.5 apart. 3. At junctions of wall and floor in multi-storey buildings.

Installation - General

A. Wall tiling: comply with the recommendations of AS 3958.1 and AS 3740.

B. Floor tiling: comply with the recommendations of AS 3958.1 and AS/NZS 3661.2.

C. Adhesives: comply with AS 2358 and recommendations of adhesive manufacturer.

D. Sealing: where tiles are cut around penetrations for taps and outlets, seal thoroughly with silicone rubber to prevent water entry behind tiles.

E. Membrane: install to manufacturer’s instructions, with a 100% waterproof result.

Tolerances and Cleaning

A. General: install tiles in true planes so that when checked with a 2m straightedge, gap under the straightedge does not exceed 3mm. In sloped floor tiling this tolerance does not apply across intersections of fall planes. Adjust tiles within 10 minutes of fixing.

B. Cleaning: cleaned down using a damp cloth before cement smears and surplus mortar begin to harden on the surface or in the joint spaces, care being taken to avoid disturbance of the tiles during the setting of the bedding.

C. Lighting: whenever possible the lighting at the time of applying the bedded finish is not to be appreciably different from the ultimate permanent lighting.

Grouting

A. Except as otherwise required, do not commence grouting for at least 24 hours after placing of tile. Follow specific instructions of materials manufacturer.

B. Grout Mix: 1. General use, except as noted below: Apply an approved pigmented prepared grout mix, one (1)

part Portland cement to one (1) part fine dry sand by volume mixed to a paste consistency with the minimum of water; too wet a mix may result in the joint filling cracking or drying out.

2. Floors: Prepared grout, acid resistive. 3. Walls: Epoxy-based mortar grout, mildew resistant. 4. Colours: as selected by the architect.

C. Grouting and Curing: 1. Apply the grouting mix to as large an area as can be worked before hardening commences. Apply

with a squeegee working back and forth over the area until the joints are completely filled. Remove surplus grout from the tiles with the aid of a damp, not wet, cloth and the joints then tooled. After the grouting has dried, final polish using a clean, dry cloth.


2. Remove surplus grout from the floor surface; on no account use sawdust for this purpose, as there is a danger that sawdust entering moist joint surfaces may break down their strength, and cause them to become porous.

3. In dry weather, grout joints after maintaining damp condition for three days by sponging down,

fog-spraying or other methods. Allow floors to set 48 hours before permitting ordinary foot traffic.

Protection

Prevent walking on or contact with floor or wall tiles for a minimum of seven days. During that period, cover floor tiles
