Tender Advertisement #935446

Purpose:
Safety at road worksites has been identified as a strategically important issue by the Austroads Board.
Managing the risks associated with providing the optimal level of safety for employees and contractors working in or near traffic, combined with the need to provide a safe road environment for road users is a significant issue for road agencies and industry. Road agencies and industry have a legislative requirement as an employer of construction, operational and maintenance services to provide a safe work environment and to manage the risks of working in or near traffic through the WHS Act 2011, regulation, training and roadwork activity planning.
Austroads therefore created a strategic priority project – “Safety at Road Worksites” (Project BN2019) to address these issues.
The purpose of Project BN2019 is to provide guidance, supporting material and training which enhances the ability of road agencies and industry to meet these WHS requirements and to lead to improved safety outcomes at road worksites. Project BN2019 will also consider the development of registrations schemes for individuals and companies operating in temporary traffic management at road worksites.
Please Note:
Austroads is developing a new Guide to Temporary Traffic Management which will consist of eleven parts. In this first invitation to tender, Austroads is releasing three project briefs simultaneously seeking consultant assistance in developing the new Guide to Temporary Traffic Management Practice.
Consultants are invited to submit for one or more of these projects. Submissions for each of the three projects will be assessed independently in the first instance.
If a consultant is wishing to submit for more than one project, a separate submission is still required for each project. In this case, Consultants are invited to include information outlining:
• Any project technical benefits that arise from undertaking multiple projects simultaneously
• Any financial benefit to Austroads that may be available should the consultant undertake multiple projects at the same time (as compared with the pricing for the three projects individually)
• How the consultant will resource the simultaneous projects to ensure that the project time frames are met.
Deliverables:
• Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management Part 5: Mobile Works and Works on Unsealed Roads
• Dissemination Webinar
A copy of our Consultancy Agreement is included outlining our Terms and Conditions. Please note our terms and conditions are not negotiable.
