Transport for NSW (TfNSW) invites Registrations of Interest (ROI) for the Great Western Highway Upgrade Program - Coxs River Road Project from pre-qualified contractors under the National Prequalification Scheme at Category R3 for roadworks, Category B3 for bridgeworks and Financial Level F100.

The work involves construction of:

•           2.4km of median separated dual carriageways on a new alignment of the Great Western Highway

•           A grade separated interchange at Coxs River Road, supplemented by new sections of connecting roadway to create a local service road network

•           Realignment of the existing highway in the vicinity of Browns Gap Road to create a new local service road

•           Upgrades to intersections at Browns Gap Road and Banners Lane

•           Tie-ins to the existing Great Western Highway at the eastern and western ends of the new alignment

•           New shared path for pedestrians and cyclists

•           Ancillary works such as driveways, footpaths, kerb and gutters, retaining walls, slope treatment, drainage works, water quality basins and landscape.

The successful tenderer will be selected through a two phase procurement process. The first phase requires applicants to submit this ROI. A short list of applicants will then be selected from this ROI process and invited to tender for the work.

All applicants must comply with the NSW Government Procurement Policy Framework (NSW Framework), NSW Government Supplier Code of Conduct (NSW Code) and New South Wales Industrial Relations Guidelines: Building and Construction Procurement (NSW Guidelines).

Copies of the NSW Framework and NSW Code are available at www.buy.nsw.gov.au. The NSW Guidelines are available at www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au.

A briefing session for the potential ROI Applicants will be held between 1-3pm on Tuesday 10 May 2022 by videoconference. Attendance is mandatory to submit a conforming ROI Application to register interest to tender.
