T-2023-1028 - Request for Tender - Design and Construct - Loftus Street Upgrade

The City of Sydney ("the City") invites tenders for Design and Construction services for the Loftus Street Upgrade project.

This Request for Tender seeks to procure a contractor to undertake the detailed design and construction of the Loftus Street Public Domain Upgrade.

The RFT Part B - Principal's Project Requirements (PPR) documents provide a detailed scope of work for this project.

Tenderers must submit their response in the manner required by this document

The City North Public Domain Plan (PDP) identified the upgrade of Loftus Street and Reiby Place as priority projects to improve safety and amenity for pedestrians using the precinct. The Council of the City of Sydney ("Council") endorsed the City North PDP in December 2015.

Due to the Sydney Light Rail (SLR) construction in Alfred Street, Loftus Street was permanently closed to traffic at the intersection with Alfred Street.

The closure created a new traffic circulation pattern in the precinct, resulting in increased traffic using Reiby Place and an opportunity for a primarily pedestrianised space in Loftus Street, north of Reiby Place.

This project seeks to address these opportunities and improve the public domain of Loftus Street, Reiby Place and Customs House Lane.

The project will create more pedestrian space in response to the pressure on the streets in the City's north due to the increasing population and footfall from numerous large-scale commercial, residential and hotel developments underway in the precinct and the increasing role of Circular Quay as a destination and transport interchange with the new SLR and future redevelopment by TfNSW.
