- Widening and upgrading 1km of one of Auckland’s major arterial routes between Hastings and Rosedale Roads
- Retaining walls of up to 8m to support widened carriageway
- Construction began in March 2010 and was completed February 2011, 6 months ahead of programme
- An innovative procurement approach adopted by North Shore City Council was able to offset multiple risks and uncertainties and led to a more collaborative working environment. The modified Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process was new to Council in mid-2010 but provided tenderers multiple benefits including the opportunity to:
- Meet with stakeholders and clarify queries and risks
- Interrogate existing design to reduce risks and improve project understanding
- Attract the best contractors and engineering resources at early stages
- Develop a core team of top professionals
- Provide visibility across the evolution of the project to ensure a shared vision of success
