Power Supply Upgrade Program - Design and Construction of Overhead Wiring Works - ISD-16-5546

The Power Supply Upgrade Program (PSU) has been tasked to deliver and meet expected power requirements for Sydney’s future rail network and new fleet of air conditioned trains, including ‘More Trains, More Services’.

It is expected that as the power requirements for the current network increases, there will be a need for the design and construction (D&C) for the upgrade of Overhead Wiring (OHW) in order to meet the thermal capacity requirements as defined by Sydney Trains Power Study.

The proposed works under this tender process will be carried out through award of Framework Deed/s with D&C Contract/s. There is currently a defined scope of overhead wiring works (Agreed Works) which the Preferred Tenderer of this tender process will be awarded under a Framework Agreement and D&C Contract (Agreed Contracts). 

A second Framework Agreement may be awarded, and it is anticipated as further overhead wiring works is available this will be carried out through separate D&C Contracts (Future Contract) competitively quoted under the two (2) Framework Agreement/s.

The defined scope of overhead wiring works under this contract includes, but is not limited to:

• Upgrade of 29 1500V DC electrical sections with 300m (minimum) auxiliary feeder

• Upgrade of 9 1500V DC electrical sections with 500 metres (minimum) auxiliary feeder

• Upgrade of 7 1500V DC electrical sections with 600 metres (minimum) auxiliary feeder

• Upgrade of 7 1500V DC electrical sections to a higher capacity system (e.g. existing System 9 to System 12) with allowance for up to 25% structural replacement.
