Provision of Services

To seek the provision of a Quantity Surveyor from the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) pre-qualified supplier under the Quantity Surveyor category for preparing upcoming projects within the CSBA Emergency Services portfolio of works.

These services will contribute to the delivery of several standalone and co-located fire and emergency services infrastructure projects within the Community Safety Building Authority (CSBA) on behalf of the Country Fire Authority (CFA), Fire Services Victoria (FRV) and Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES), as well as future projects that become available within the Emergency and Fire Services space.

The program of works will run for a minimum of five (5) years.

The successful consultant will initially provide individual fee proposal for five (5) initial projects.

These initial projects are as follows:

• Heathcote Emergency Service Hub (Co-located VICSES / CFA)
• Rochester Emergency Service Hub (Co-located VICSES / CFA)
• Kilmore (VICSES)
• Bannockburn (VICSES)
• Footscray (VICSES)

As future projects become available and are added to the CSBA portfolio, at the discretion of CSBA, the successful supplier will be approached for a fee proposal.

CSBA will review the fee proposal for value for money, and if accepted, the additional projects will be added to the consultant’s scope by way of variation.

Quantity Surveyor services are sought across four key stages as follows:

• Design Stage (concept, schematic, detailed, tender/for construction)
• Contractor Procurement Stage
• Construction Stage
• Defect Liability Stage

Location of Works/Services: Statewide

Type of Contract (e.g., PPP model, Alliance, D&C, Construct only, Consultancy): Consultancy

Tender Process: Single-stage tender / Selective tender

Pre-qualified Register: Construction Supplier Register (CSR)

Pre-qualification Category: Quantity Surveyor

Number of Pre-qualified Suppliers Selected: Five (5)

A desktop market assessment approach was performed using the Construction Supplier Register (CSR) to identify eligible suppliers within the Quantity Surveyor category. This initial phase yielded 32 potential quantity surveyors who can perform the required services forming a comprehensive "long list" of suppliers.

In addition, a thorough evaluation of current and past suppliers' previously completed works was conducted, focusing on those with a financial pre-qualification greater than the estimated contract value for the initial scoped projects, relevant experience in government and emergency services projects.

Subsequently, email communication was initiated for the identified suppliers on the initial shortlist, presenting them with key selection questions to assess their interest and capacity for the projects. Based on the positive responses received from the suppliers, a refined shortlist was then compiled, which identified 3-5 potential prequalified suppliers from the CSR.
