FOR MEETING OF:TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE
MEETING DATE:17 MAY 1993
FILE REF:2086
SUBJECT:ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT'S ANNUAL TENDERS
Tenders were advertised in April to cover the Engineering Department's annual material supply and works services contracts for the 1993/94 financial year. Tenders closed on 27 April and the rates tendered are detailed on Attachments 1 to 11.
Generally, tenders conforming to specifications and providing the lowest tender rates are recommended to Council for acceptance. Additional information on a number of tenders and divergence from this recommendation process are outlined below.
Tender No 7092/93 Supply and Laying of Bituminous Concrete
Pioneer Asphalts Pty Ltd has submitted the lowest tender prices for all bituminous concrete mixes other than the 30mm laterite with oxide mix. This company has undertaken Council's asphalt works for the past thirteen years with the service, workmanship and quality of the product being of a high standard. The 30mm laterite with oxide mix is only used in small quantities and, as the price differential between the submission from Pioneer Asphalts Pty Ltd and Asphalt Surfaces Pty Ltd is not substantial, it is recommended that this portion of the tender be awarded to Pioneer Asphalts Pty Ltd.
There has been a price war in the asphalt business in recent years and asphalt prices have been artificially lowered. The prices have now increased substantially and will impact on Council's Road Resurfacing, Roadworks and Car Park programmes. A summary of prices/tonne for the most commonly used 7mm diorite mix over the past four years is outlined below for information.
1990/91$94.951992/93$71.00
1991/92$52.001993/94$97.80
Tender No 7192/93 Supply and Delivery of Asphalt Products
Asphalt products are used by the Engineering Department road maintenance crews for road reinstatement following service installations, road widening works associated with traffic management projects and road maintenance works.
The asphalt is delivered to the Works Depot in trucks specifically designed for cartage of hot asphalt. The asphalt is then loaded onto road maintenance trucks. The combination of the asphalt price and the delivery charge to Zone 3 is, therefore, the main criteria when considering the tender submissions. The diorite 5mm is the major material used by the Engineering Department with the average delivered load being 5 tonne.
A summary of the combined asphalt prices/tonne for this mix, delivery charges to Zone 3 based on a 5 tonne load and the minimum delivery loads are outlined below.
The Readymix Group$112.1
Pioneer Asphalts$ 93.0
Hotmix$138.7
Boral Asphalt$ 90.45
Overall, Boral Asphalt provides the lowest submissions for the supply of the diorite asphalt products to the Works Depot and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 7292/93 Supply and Delivery of Road Sealing Aggregate
The major uses of road sealing aggregate by the Engineering Department are 14mm diorite for major road works and 5mm diorite for road maintenance operations.
The 5mm diorite aggregate is delivered to the Works Depot (Zone 3) and, when considering the delivery price per tonne, the lowest tender is that of Pioneer Concrete Pty Ltd.
A summary of the combined 14mm diorite prices and delivery charges for the four tenderers are outlined below.

Boral Quarries35.8536.7738.0539.05
Readymix Group34.8035.5336.5537.58
Atlas Quarries Pty Ltd Diorite aggregate not supplied
Tender No 7392/93 Supply and Laying of Concrete Kerbing
Tender No 7392/93 for the supply and laying of concrete kerbing covers a number of items of kerbing profiles and surface types. While the tender prices vary between the various profiles and surface types, it is impractical to engage different contractors for the individual kerbing profiles. Generally, a combination of kerbing profiles is required on projects and, for efficient and cost effective completion of the kerbing phases, it is necessary to engage a single contractor.
Overall, Comkerb has submitted the lowest tender rates for the supply and laying of concrete kerbing. Comkerb undertook Council's kerbing construction works in 1992/93 to a satisfactory standard and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 7592/93 Supply and Delivery of Crushed Limestone
The crushed limestone road base, Mixes 1 and 4, is used primarily on major road projects and is delivered to site by utilising both Council and the supplier's trucks. General Bulldozing provides the lowest tender for the supply and delivery of these mixes and is recommended accordingly.
The crushed limestone road base, Mixes 2 and 3, is used primarily for road maintenance works, service trench reinstatement and road widening projects. A majority of the limestone is delivered to a stockpile at the Works Depot (zone 3). These mixes require additional crushing to provide finer, high quality road base material suitable for these smaller type projects. Quality of product is important and, generally, the basic cost is much higher than that for Mix 1. General Bulldozing prices for Mixes 2 and 3 appear low, however, the company has confirmed the prices and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 7692/93 Supply of Bitumen Emulsion Stabilised Limestone
The Readymix Group provides the overall low and fixed price tender for the supply and delivery of the four mix types of bitumen stabilised limestone and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 7792/93 Supply and Delivery of Signs
This tender provides for the supply of a variety of signs. The tender has been separated to allow the supply and delivery of signs to be shared by the three tenderers.
Tender No 7992/93 Construction of Concrete Vehicle Crossing Places
R & S L Eves provides the overall low tender for the construction of concrete vehicle crossing places and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 8092/93 Construction of Footpaths and Dual Use Paths
This tender provides for the construction of footpaths/dual use paths primarily in well established localities. The specification required attention to reticulation adjustments and regrading of the verge area for 1m either side of the footpath. The construction of a footpath in an established lawn/garden directly affects the adjoining ratepayer and attention to the finishing of the verge by the contractor is essential.
Council's 1992/93 Contractor, R & S L Eves, undertook all works in the past year to a very high standard. The submission from R& S L Eves provides the overall lowest tender for the construction and repair of pathways and is recommended accordingly.
Tender No 8192/93 Supply and Erection of Fencing
This tender provides for security fencing for drainage sumps and various types of fencing associated with foreshore management and dune stabilisation works.
Smorgon Cyclone Fencing is recommended for the supply and erection of sump security fencing.
Generally, the road frontage and rural fencing is installed in lengths of 1000 metres or greater. Reviewing the metre run rates and combining the cost of bracing and corner units, indicates that the tender from Park and Rural Services Pty Ltd provides the lowest overall tender. This company also provides the low tender for track pathway fencing.
Tender No 8292/93 Hire of Plant and Auxiliary Equipment
Item A Street Sweepers
Cruiser Road Sweepers (WA) Pty Ltd has satisfactorily supplemented Council's street sweeping fleet for a number of years and is recommended accordingly.
Item B Multi Tyred Roller 300 Tonne
The tender of Mayday Earthmoving for the hire of a roller with and without an operator has been recommended. It should be noted that Council's contractor for the past eight years, AESherwood, submitted a late tender. The rate of $37/hour long term is extremely competitive and is the same rate as approved in 1992/93. However, this submission was not considered because it was received after the closing of tenders.
Tender No 8392/93 Supply and Delivery of Red Clay Paving Bricks
Clay paving bricks are primarily used by the Engineering Department for traffic island infill and traffic treatments.
The clay paving bricks tendered by Prestige Brick have only recently been manufactured from a new plant and are currently being tested to assess conformity with Council's specification. Midland Brick has been the sole supplier of these bricks in the past two years, following a rigorous testing and evaluation programme. It is considered that further evaluation and monitoring of the Prestige Brick product is required before it can be accepted.
In addition, the Midland Brick product provides two faces of equal standard which allow the brick to be reversed if one face is chipped during cartage, laying or by wear and tear.
On this basis, it is recommended that Midland Brick be approved for the supply and delivery of clay paving bricks.
Tender No 84 92/93 Laying of Clay Paving Bricks
Clay brick paving is primarily used as infill to traffic islands and considerable brick cutting is required. The average size traffic island requires 16m2 of brick paving and 30m of brick cutting. Care needs to be taken as, generally, all works are undertaken under traffic conditions and considerable cutting is required in relation to the area of paving.
It is important for the safe and efficient completion of these projects that a contractor, experienced in these operations, is engaged by Council.
The lowest tenderer, Co Ca Me, was only formed in September 1992 and has primarily been involved in brick paving of driveways and patio areas.
Austra Landscapes, Council's current contractor, has undertaken the laying of clay brick paving in traffic islands to a high standard and is recommended accordingly.
