Please confirm attendance to Tenders@fba.org.au

ITT 24.5 DES Streambank Revegetation at 6-mile Creek – Addendum 2
Please see the following questions and FBA response in bold:

  • Q1: Just confirming that FBA are leaving in the current solar pump set up and dual poly tanks at the site? There is a line item in the BoQ that asks for a lump sump cost for the solar bore pump – should we leave that blank with a comment?   Yes, leaving current solar pump and dual poly tanks at the site.  That’s a mistake, the line item in the BoQ wasn’t updated.
  • Q2: Are you happy to have a hold point for irrigation supply variation / confirmation once final design is confirmed? We will be engaging a specialist to finalise, purchase and assist with install of the irrigation system, however without them visiting site, there may be some variation on cost once final design is settled. We will provide a quote based on the concept design parameters but that may change to accommodate the final design.  Please put some narrative around the decision to do so in your bid so that it’s clear to FBA.  
  • Q3: Is it 6 or 9 tanks needed (6 is Verterra’s design, FBA tender doc info asks for 9).  FBA tender doc is a bit misguided on number of tanks and understand the confusion around the two concepts.  The setup just needs to be able to water the site effectively.
  • Q4: Are we allowed to collect and store the plants over a few days? We have a yard and water available for watering, but as it will be hot planting in December, we will propose working from 5am-1pm or similar to keep the team out of the main heat of the day. We assume that collection of plants on the day sticking to that time frame will not work for the nursery.  Need to make sure you provide adequate watering of tubestock from time of collection at the nursery to time of planting on site.
  • Q5: Will grass seed already have been sown? I can’t remember if you confirmed it on the site tour, though I suspect yes.  Yes, already sown.

ITT 24.4 Kroombit Creek Stabilisation – Addendum 1

Please note a mistake in the invitation to tender document providing conflicting dates for the site visit.

The correct date and time for the site visit is Wednesday 2 October at 1pm.

Link below to the site. I will meet everyone at the meeting point on the corner of Eichmann and Schloss roads. We can drive to the site from there.

If you use 166 Eichmann road, Thangool in your GPS, it is just south of this meeting point. So stop at the intersection short of meeting the 166 Eichmann road destination.

Remember: Hat, water and bring a copy of the drawing and scope of work. Make sure vehicles are clean (Weed and seed free)
