Design and Construction of Errant and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Treatments for the Southwest Metro Project - SMC-22-0722

Sydney Metro requires a suitably experienced rail and bridge Design and Construction Contractor to be engaged for Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to deliver ECI Activities related to the design and construction of errant and hostile vehicle mitigation treatments at station bridges, non-station bridges and critical locations along the Southwest Metro corridor.

 

About the Works

The Southwest Metro works will convert and upgrade the existing T3 Bankstown Line between Sydenham station to Bankstown station to metro standards.

To meet the test level safety standards for metro operations, the Southwest Metro project requires the delivery of safety critical works to secure critical points from errant and hostile vehicles at station overbridges, non-station overbridges and non-bridge locations along the Southwest Metro rail corridor.

The Works comprises:

Errant vehicle treatments based on a Corridor Intrusion Risk Assessment (CIRA) and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) treatment design and construction works at:

• Eight (8) station overbridges;
• Seven (7) non-station road-over-rail overbridges; and
• 76 non-bridge locations along and within proximity to the Southwest Metro Corridor; and

Finishing works.

The Works are to be delivered under a under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) collaborative Design & Construction (D&C) framework where a single Contractor (the ECI Contractor) will be engaged to deliver all:

• Designs to Approved For Construction (AFC) for the Works;
• Value engineering and constructability reviews;
• Dilapidation reports for the roadway and surrounds for all locations where the Works occur;
• Site investigations for all Works at each location;
• Reviews and commentary on the feasibility and concept designs for the seven (7) non-station road-over-rail overbridges;
• Heritage advice, including a Statement of Heritage Impact (SoHI) for each bridge asset;
• Urban design visualisations for bridge elements;
• Earthing and bonding design services to assist and integrate with project delivery;
• Safety assurance works;
• For-construction’ materials, documentation, pre-construction preparation, deliverables and agreements required for successful delivery of the Construction Phase cumulating the in the Contractor’s Final Proposal to Sydney Metro;
• Civil design including 3D digital string models, 3D digital federated model components and native model designs;
• Drawing outputs including 2D plan references, 3D digital federated models, design verification and potential extraction of road model quantities;
• Performance management and reporting against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and delivery milestones as set out in the ECI Deed;
• Full review of all Technical Advice Notes (TAN) to understand the bridge structures and Station assets;
• Sydney Trains Detailed Site Survey (DSS) drawings;
• Full topographical survey model works and completion of additional topographical survey of the existing road alignments, bridges and corridor to locate key assets;
• Documentation and continual support for Network Assurance Committee (NAC) and Sub-NAC gate approvals throughout the design delivery in accordance with the Network Assurance Procedure (NAP);
• Delivery of priority Project Works at specific locations as required by Sydney Metro in parallel to ECI Activities; and
• Other requirements to be completed by the Contractor pre-construction as either identified by the Contractor and approved by Sydney Metro or as directed by Sydney Metro.

At the conclusion of the ECI Phase, the Contractor will submit a Contractor’s Final Proposal to Sydney Metro for the delivery of the Works (the Construction Phase). Sydney Metro will evaluate the Contractor’s Final Proposal and determine whether to award the medium works D&C Contract for the Construction Phase to the Contractor.
