This tender has now closed. This project was not progressed further.
Tauranga City Council invites tenderers to submit an ROI for the Omawawa Falls stairs/access project.
After Omanawa Falls was officially closed to the public in 2016, there have been a number of minor and serious safety incidents as a result of public accessing the falls using alternative unsafe tracks.
Tauranga City Council have been investigating other possible access options to allow safe access for the public. The contract will be a two stage procurement process with a ROI expecting to be released mid October.
The ROI will aim to shortlist contractors that have proven specialist experience constructing tracks/stairs and other structures in restricted areas.
Shortlisted contractors will then supply a proposal to design and construct an access platform from the existing access track to the bottom of the falls.
