OAKDEN AGED CARE FACILITY

Expressions of interest in tendering for the interior refurbishment of the Oakden Aged Care Facility are invited from DAIS Pre-qualified General Building Contractors in Category 3. The works will be tendered as a lump sum contract and comprise a complete refitting of the patient and some public areas of the Makk and McLeay Buildings (approximately 1,900 m2). The refurbishment is to upgrade the facility to meet aged care accreditation standards and to create a domestic but functional environment for the residents of the facility by upgrading of the resident ward areas, day rooms, visitor lounges and the entry foyer. The work will generally comprise the division of the current 4 bedroom units into two bedroom units, new partitions, floor coverings, alterations to joinery, repainting, minor upgrade of services and sundry other works. Registrants are to note that the project will require staging in accordance with the functional and operational requirements of the facility. It is proposed that the tender call for the project will be in January /February 2002, with work anticipated to commence in March 2002. Registrations will be assessed on project specific responses received to the following selection criteria: - Evidence of similar work successfully undertaken in operating aged care facilities or similar over the past 4 years (referees are required). - Overview of key issues in successful delivery of similar projects in such facilities, which are operating and accessed by the public. - Proposed key personnel to undertake the works. Curriculum vitae should be provided and recent experience in construction/refurbishment work within similar projects is preferred. A short list will be determined from the Registration of Interest responses received.
