7.0 Construction, Delivery and Programme

Construction is to be completed by a head contractor to be appointed by TfNSW. A competitive tender process is to be completed and a traditional lump sum contract is to be awarded.

The demolition and construction programme is to be agreed with TfNSW and must provide for the delivery of key elements as required by TfNSW key Central Station project delivery milestones.

Completion of OSD works must not interfere with the completion and operation of the new station entry on Chalmers Street.

All construction work is to be coordinated with other works being completed on the station concourses below.

All construction work is to be coordinated with the construction and ongoing operation of the light rail under construction on Chalmers Street.

Constructions deliveries and waste collection must also be coordinated with adjacent works, including the light rail.

Crane strategy should be to provide a crane within the site boundaries; mobile cranes may not have suitable access from Chalmers street due to ongoing light rail works.
