·REP 0 R T.

Sm, Melbourne, 23rd April, 1858. In compliance with our instructions, we have carefully considered the

various tenders which have been received for the proposed railway works, and have now the honor to submit for your information the results of our examination, together with the calculations upon which our opinion is founded.

The documents before us comprised tenders for the execution of the whole of the proposed works according to four different arrangements, viz. :-

1st. In twenty-one separate contracts. 2nd. In three separate contracts. 3rd. In two separate contracts. 4th. In one large contract. .

In which order we proceeded to consider them. (See Appendices I, II, III, IV, V, VI.) ·

1. Letting the Vforks in twenty-one separate Contracts.-(See Appen­dix VII )-By accepting the lowest tender for each section the result would be a total cost of £5,596,492 Os. 4td. The number of contractors would be. seven, and in most instances each of them would have his work spread over the country in detached sections. ·

As letting the works to so many contractors would of necessity cause great competition for capital, labor, and everyt kind of material, and would in all proba~ility lead to great embarrassment, we cann·ot recommend the adoption of a course which might endanger the carrying out to completion of works of such magnitude and importance to the future welfare of this country. The same objections would in a great degree apply to any mode of grouping the sections into m~re than three contracts.

·. 2. Dividing the Works into three Contracts:-1. Melbourne to Sandhurst. 2 .. Sandhurst to the River Murray. 3. Geelong to Ballaarat.

The result of this .division, if the lowest tenders be accepted, would be a:total cost of £5,682,395 2s. 2d.,. and the·contractors for

Section ·1. Cornish and Co. , 2. Musson and Co. ,, 3. Musson and Co.

(See Appendix VIII.) '

··3': llividing.the 'Vorksinto two Sections:-!. Melbourne to the River Murray. 2. Geelong to Ballaarat.

The total cost by this mode would be £5,826,223; Messrs. Musson and Co. being the lowest tenderers for both.~(See Appendix IX.)

4. Taking the whole in one Contract, (No. 28.) Only three tenders were sent in for the two lines as a whole contract, viz. :- · .

Musson and Co. £5,826,223 Os. Od. Cornish and Co. £5,988,134 8s. ·lld. Randle and Holmes £7,010,324 l9s. lfd.

Messrs. Cornish and Co.'s tender was at first understood to be for £5,449,202 8s. 2d., but (as explained in a lettet· which accompanied· it) this amount did not incl~tde the " Provision," and we have. since received a letter from them stating that the al.love amount of £5,988,134 8s, lid. is to be taken as their tender.~( See Appendices X, XI, XII, XIII.)

5. Taking into consideration all ti1e cireumstances, we are of opinion . that ~f the whole of the work is to be now let, the course pointed out in paragraph No. 2, viz., letting the works from Melbourne· to Sandhurst to Messrs. Cornish ,and Co., and those from Sandhurst to the River Murray,. and Geelong ·to Ballaarat to Messrs. Musson and Co., will be the best one to be adopted; but it would perhaps be preferable not to let the portion. ' from Sandhurst to the Hiver Murray at present, for the following reasons, VIZ.:-

All the works are of a light .and inexpensive character, the com­paratively heaviest item being that for " Permanent Way,n of which the carriage of material forms a considerable portion; an'd should the acceptance· of any tender for this section 'of the trunk line be deferr~d until there is some assurance of the line to Sandhmst being completed within a compara­tively limited time, the anticipated reduction in the transport of material arisingtherefrom, and the increase of population and consequent abundance of labor which' may reasonably be expected within the next two years, ·will we are convinced enable the Government to let the construction of the line from. Sandhurst to the Riyer Mur1~ay at a very considerable ;~.·eduction 'ori any of the present ~enders. · .

Should this latter suggestion be approved, there will be two con­tractors, viz. :-

.Melbourne to Sandhurst. Messrs: Cornish and Co. . . . £3,356,937 2s. 2d.

G'eelong to Ballaarat. Messrs. Musson and C~.· ... :£1,310,797 Os. Od.

. 6. We think it right to remark that. we have examined and com• pared the prices given in by the different tenderers in the Supplementary Schedules for substituted o.r additional works, and we are unable to perceive that any advantage would be obtained by recommending any other tenderers than those whose names we have selecte~. (See AppendL'( XIV). .

. 7. Before these or any other tenders are accepted, however, we consider that it will be essential that the contractors satisfy the Government that they possess sufficient assurances of pecuniary support to enable them to overcome the difficulties and embarrassments which must be expected from time to time to arise in the prosecution of works of this ~agnitude,. owing to the fluctuations in the market for· labor and materials.

The cash deposit required by the conditions of contract can· only be considered sufficient security for the bona fides of the tenderer, and the determination of the contractor to use his best endeavors to carry out the work. ·. ~

We have the honor to be,

The Honorable The President of the

Sir, . Your most ob~dient servants,

C. PASLEY, Capt. R.E., ·CHAS. vV. LIGAR., Surveyor General, GEC). .. C. DARBYSHIRE, Engineer-in-Chiee

SIR, 4th May, 1858. Subsequent to the date of our former Report on the Railway Tenders,

Messrs. Randle and Holmes represented to us that if certain substitutions and alterations in the character of the works were carried out and paid for at the prices given in their Supplementary Schedule, -their tender would be very much reduced in amount; in support of which they handed us a Sche­dule of the various substitutions proposed by them. (See Appendix XV.)

Although as stated in paragraph 6 of our Report we had already considered the question of substitution, we caused a calculation to be made of the actual reduction in price that the substitutions recommended by them would effect in the tenders of Messrs Cornish and Co., and Messrs. Musson. and Co. respectively.

The result (which is given in Appendices XVI, XVII, XVIII,) shows t.hat even if the who~e of these alterations were effected, there would be

. no reason for reversing our former opinion. We do not consider it at all probable, however, that any very large

proportion of these substitutions will ever be required, and many of them are such as would very materially reduce the permanence and stability of the works, and such, therefore, as we could not recommend.

The Honorable

We have the honor to be, Sir,

Your most obedient servants, C. PASLEY, Capt. R.E., CHAS. W. LIGAR, Sur·veyor General, GEO. C. DARBYSHIRE, Engineer-in-Chief.

The President of the Board of Land and Works.

APPENDIX II. Lette1· from Jlfessi'S. 11fusson and Co. accompanying thei1· Tenders.

87, Collins street west, Melbourne, 24th March, 1858.

We have the honor to send you herewith our tenders for the Victorian Railways, in accordance with your advertisement in the Government Gazette, viz.:-

No. 1 to 16 and No. 20 to 26 inclusive, for which we beg to tender for payment in cash if taken as sepa1•ate contracts, but we arc prepared to undertake the making of the whole of the lines and to receive payment in debentures, say, Contract

No. 17. Melbourne and Sandhurst, for £3,500,765 or No. 18. Sandhurst and River Murray ... £1,014,661 or No. 19. Melbourne and Hiver Murray, .. · £4,515,426 or No. 27. Gcelong and Ballaarat :£1,310,797 or No. 28. General Contract (say 206 miles) £5,826,223

say about two hundred and six miles, for five millions eight hundred and twenty-six thousand two · hundred and twenty-three pounds sterling. _

The debentures to be taken at 1§- per cent. premium, say, One hundred and one pounds two shillings and sixpence for each debenture of one lJllndred pounds and if our tender should be accepted, we are desirous to show the GO\·ernment that we have made our financial arrangements

·in a manner that would enable us to dispose of the debentures so as to advance the credit of the colony and insure for its ·securities their full value.

If the Government should not deem it advisable to give the whole of the works out at once, we are prepared to accept such portion as the Government might think fit to have made at present and such additional portion as they might co.nsider it desirable to order at a future time, presuming that the tender for the whole works is now accepted and the security for the portion given out at present is in proportion to the security required for the whole.

We shall hold ourselves in readiness to give any further explanation that may be required to make these proposals perfectly clear to the Board.

To the Honorable the President of the Board of Land and Works.

We have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants,

(Signed) J. MUSSON AND CO.

APPENDIX III. 'Lette?' from Messrs. Randle and Holmes accompanying thei1• 'l'ende1•s.

. Melbourne, 24th March, 1858. To the Honorable the Prcsident·of the.Board of Land and Works, Melbourne.

SIR, In submitting ,the accompanying tender we beg that your Honorable Board will take into

consideration the .enclosed copy of a letter from Mr. A. Gabrielli, on behalf of Sir Samuel Morton .Peto and partners, and to state that, by interesting said firm in our tender to the Government, we have been enabled materially to reduce our schedule of prices, knowing that the co,operation of so eminent a firm will in every way facilitate the carrying out of the said contracts to the full 8atisfaction of the Government of Victoria.

we have have the honor to remain, Your most obedient servants,

(Signed) RANDLE AND HOLMES.

(ENCI,OSURE.] Menzies' Hotel, March 22nd, 1858.

William Randall, Esq., Melbourne. SIR,

Referring to the several interviews I have had with you upon the subject of the tenders called for by the Government for constructing railways in this colony, and taking into consideration both the written and verbal instructions I had from Sir Morton Peto and Sir Cusack Roney in regard to your ability and to the reliance I might put upon your statements, I have taken upon myself to stretch the powers I have received from Sir Morton Peto, and to authorize you to tender · to the Government on behalf of yourself jointly with Messrs. Peto and Co.

I have been encouraged to come to this determination by the belief that in ao doing I shall serve the interests of all p~u·ties concerned, especially that of the Government of Victoria, inasmuch as the eo-operation of so eminent a firm must very much facilitate the working of a scheme of such magnitude, and must serve as a material guarantee to the Government for the due performance of the contract. The extensive works whiuh they have already performed, the contracting powers they have at their command, and the engineering skill they can bring to bear on this undertaking, will, I have no doubt, have due weight in de~ermining the Government in their decision.

Page 29: TENDERS FOR RAILWAY.WORKS, · adoption of a course which might endanger the carrying out to completion of works of such magnitude and importance to the future welfare of this country

28

The expediency of confiding the whole undertaking to them will he at once made obvious, whEn I point out that under such an arrangement a competition of labor will be averted, ruinous to the contractor without tJounterbalancing advantage to the Government.

I may also state, that in the propo~al which I intend to place before the Government in reference to the lon.n to be contracted for in }~nglund, the knowledge of such a firm having the management of the works to be performed will materially facilitate the financial scheme to the advantage of the Government security.

In fine, in giving you power to submit to the Government a joint tender on behalf of yourself and :Messrs. Peto and Company, I am confidently persuaded that I am acting in conformity with the views of Sir Morton Peto, detailed to me at the several interviews I hud with the firm previous to my departure from England, and that I may rely on my agreement with you meeting their approbation. . ·

Should you, therefore, secure the contract ·you may safely set heartily to work at once on your and their joint account, and pending the completion of the final arrangements with them, I reiterate my promise to render you every facility which lies in my power. In the meantime,

Attested Copy. ,J, W. MUTTLEBURY,

Solicitor.

I remain, Sir,

Yours faithfully, (Signed) A. GABRIELLI.

APPENDIX IV. Lette1• from ,lfess1·s. Orn·nish and Co. accompanying their Tenders.

3, Alfred-place, Victoria-street, Melbourne, 29th :March, 1858.

GENTLEMEN,

We have the honor to submit to you the following references to our tenders for "railway contracts," viz.:-

A tender for single contracts, from No. 1 to No. 13, both inclusive, will be found in contract No. 17, on the .left of the tender for No. 17 contract.

A tender for single contracts, from No. 20 to No. 26, both inclusive, will be found in contract No. 27, on the left of the tender for No. 27 contract.

Tenders for contracts No. 17,. 18, and 27, include the whole of the lines, an'd are in accordance with the requirements of the. specification and .conditions, but should contracts No 17 or No. 27 be accepted, we hope to be granted one year's extension of time.

We have the honor to be, Gentlemen,

Your obedient servants, (Eigned) W. C. CORNISH AND CO.

3, Alfred-place, Victoria-street, Melbourne, 7th April, 1858.

To the Honorable the President of the Board.of Land and Works.· SIR,

.. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date, No. 181 I 58, 'and to furnish you with the follcwing reply. ·. Book No. 19 was made up and the prices fixed according to the information I then had of the value of money in England. The books relating to contract No. 28 were made up and the

· prices fixed according to recent information as to the· improved state of tl1at market by the last mail.

The clerk who made up No. 19 died before he could equate the prices to· the reduced scale; and our l\ir. Burgoyne, who undertook to prepare No. 28, was prevented from completing it by the sickness and' death of his wife on the morning the tenders were sent in. As vols. Nos. 1 and 2, contract No. 28, contain the provision, priced and extended in exact accordance with

, the requirements of the specifications, and I believe are in every respect in compliance with the conditions, I beg t.o refer you to these as our estimates for the general railway cont.ract, or any one or more of the three sections contained therein.

t SIR,

I have the honor to be, Sir,

Your most obedient Servant, (Signed) W. C. CORNISH,

For W. C. Cornish and Co.
