Tender Call to remove failed Oceanlinx wave generator

by Roads and Maritime Services on 18 Sep 2015 Roads and Maritime Services will invite prospective tenderers who have demonstrated an ability to remove the Oceanlinx wave generator to submit a tender for its demolition, removal and disposal.

A spokesperson said Roads and Maritime was the owner of the bed of Port Kembla Harbour where the failed wave generator barge is located on the northern breakwater.

“A two-stage process is being used to engage a contractor with the skills best matched to what is an unusual job, complicated by the location in the surf zone,” the spokesperson said.

“This final stage procurement process follows a previous call for expressions of interest from qualified firms.

“The multi-tonne barge has been on the site since 2009. The barge was initially managed and licensed by Crown Lands when it was installed further offshore from 2005.

“Roads and Maritime terminated its licence agreement with Oceanlinx in 2012. In 2014 Oceanlinx went into administration and KordaMentha was appointed as the receivers and managers.”

All tenderers will need to comply, among other things, with the NSW Government Code of Practice for Procurement.

“The tender applications should include a proposed methodology for flotation and demolition onshore, along with design, price and an expected completion date.

A compulsory pre-tender meeting will be held at the Roads and Maritime Rozelle office at 11am on 30 September.

Tenders should be received before 2.30pm on Friday 23 October on the etender website
