About
Department for Infrastructure and Transport awarded a contract to McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd for the Heysen Tunnels Refit and Safety Upgrade managing‑contractor role.
The contract covered planning-phase services for a refit and safety upgrade that comprised construction and installation of civil, mechanical, fire, electrical, communications and systems upgrades inside and outside the tunnels.
The procurement had sought organisations prequalified with the Department for Roadworks and Bridgeworks with demonstrated tunnel construction/maintenance experience and required State and/or Federal accreditation.
The contract price was based on the Planning Fee Phase only, with further contract costs to be updated as the construction phase was entered into.
The award reflected a staged procurement approach requiring prequalified, accredited contractors with multidisciplinary tunnel experience, with initial funding allocated to planning while construction costs were to be determined in a later phase.
