Nelmac Pty Ltd has been appointed to construct the Main Canal pedestrian bridge between Melbourne and Oakbank Streets Narrandera on the Brewery Flats.
The tender price was $328,250 ex GST.
Narrandera Shire Council undertook an open tender process for the construction of the new bridge as part of funding under the Playground on the Murrumbidgee NSW Drought Stimulus.
The total budget for this project was set at $430,000 which included the design, new bridge and required approach works.
There were nine tenders received, of which all except one were assessed as being conforming. None were local.
The tender panel made the decision to exclude all submissions which were more than double the available budget and there were two tenders which were considered non-conforming.
Nelmac Pty Ltd is said to be a highly experienced bridge building company; prequalification with RMS, VicRoads and Qld Roads; ISO-9001 quality systems.
It was the only company to provide a completely conforming tender based on the tender document design.
