T-2025-1675 - Prince Alfred Park Pool Electrification
The Council of the City of Sydney ("City") invites Requests for Tender for the carrying out of the design, supply, installation and commissioning heat pumps to deliver Electrification at Prince Alfred Park Pool.
Background:
To reduce the direct carbon emissions from gas fired equipment, the City is looking to convert Prince Alfred Park Pool to an all-electric equipment facility. Prince Alfred Park Pool is an outdoor heated 50m pool located in Prince Alfred Park, behind Central Station on Chalmers St in Sydney CBD. This project aims to replace aged plant with modern efficient and reliable plant that will provide high service levels while also contributing to the City's emission reduction goals.
This initiative, in addition to replacing end of life equipment, fits into the Sustainable Sydney 2030-2050 Community Strategic Plan (Plan). It builds towards the implementation of our renewed vision for the city over the next three decades.
This project enables Direction 2 in the Plan, to become a leading environmental performer - Our city is part of a decarbonised world. Our communities live in a city that is regenerative and makes a positive contribution to the planet, to society and to individual lives.
This project aligns with the City's Environmental Strategy 2025-2030 which outlines a target to remove all fossil gas (natural gas) used in operations by 2030. Further information can be found on City of Sydney website.
Project Overview:
1. Eliminate 100% of the site's natural gas use including:
- Pool heating
- Domestic hot water
For detailed scope please refer to Appendix 1, 2 & 3, Drawings, Mechanical & Electrical specification respectively.
