Registrations of Interest close for ocean outfall
The time for receiving registrations of interest (ROI) from contractors to build the Christchurch City Council's ocean
outfall closed on Wednesday, 21 September, at midday.
A good response was received by the Council from local and international contractors to build the multi-million-dollar
pipeline, aimed to remove the city's treated wastewater discharge from the Avon-Heathcote Estuary.
Council Project Delivery team leader, John Moore, says that of the several contractor responses received, many
specialise in varied methods of pipeline installation. An evaluation team made up of Council staff and independent
consultants would assess all the ROIs, draw up a short-list of selected tenderers by early November, and enter a more
detailed interactive tender process with those selected contractors thereafter, Mr Moore says.
