Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility The Commonwealth is establishing a $5.5 billion Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility over five years, which will aim to help promote private sector participation in major infrastructure for economic development in the North, by providing concessional loans to incentivise the development of major projects ie: in Joe’s words - construction of ports, pipelines, electricity and water infrastructure. The loan facility will be open for applications from 1 July 2015, with $8.5 million provided to Department of Treasury over five years from 2015-16 to engage expert advice on the appropriate eligibility criteria and governance for the proposed facility. The cost of the Government’s borrowing to finance the loan facility has an impact of $138 million over three years from 2016-17. This measure will form part of the Government’s White Paper on Developing Northern Australia. Northern Australia Infrastructure projects pipeline The Government will provide $3.7 million over four years from 2015-16 to develop a new infrastructure project pipeline which will be informed by the priorities identified in Infrastructure Australia’s Northern Australia Infrastructure Audit. This pipeline will be developed by the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development in consultation with northern jurisdictions, and will provide business and jurisdictions with information on potential roads, rail, water, electricity, ports, airports and communication projects. This project pipeline will also form part of the broader National Infrastructure Construction Schedule, complementing Infrastructure Australia’s national infrastructure priority list, and relevant state and territory infrastructure plans.

segments) Determining treatment (at what point is a med grade warranted over a heavy

formation grade, re-sheet)

6


Methods/Procedures for undertaking grading (Med, Heavy, Re-sheet) What plant is used in a crew? Is it different for (Med, Heavy, Re-sheet)? How many

crews are used, how long does it take? Is it mostly planned or reactive maintenance grading? Levels of Service (see special

needs)? Material used (what blends are used?)

Budget/Costings (what data is being collected and could be collected to analyse) What percentage of the unsealed network is graded each FY (100% all network once

a year, 160% some roads are done more than once etc.)? $/km Network grade (grading and re-sheeting) Crew cost $/day Plant and Labour unit rates (grader, roller water truck, labour) Outsourcing comparison

Please forward this invitation on to relevant contacts in both your council and other members of your RRTG. Notification to Local Governments re upcoming Transport Infrastructure Contract - Sole Invitation Dear Local Governments, Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be replacing the current Roads Performance Contract (RPC) with the Transport Infrastructure Contract – Sole Invitation (TIC-SI). The TIC-SI is expected to be released in the second half of 2015. Please forward this email to everyone in your procurement, design, and capital works units for their information. As you are probably aware, TMR has many different standard contracts for the procurement of roads and bridges. Some of these contracts originated in the late 90s and have evolved over time. It can be very time-consuming to maintain everything and to keep all contracts up to date. In order to improve efficiency, TMR has begun in 2014 conceptual work with our industry partners around improving the overall infrastructure procurement process and contract types. We have sought improvement ideas from the users of our infrastructure contracts including TMR districts, contract administrators, construction contractors and design consultants. We have also decided to extend our infrastructure contracts to a broader level, to incorporate not just roads and bridges but also marine and busway projects, and furthermore to review usage and determine exactly what was really needed. As a result, the Transport Infrastructure Contact (TIC) was initiated and some key changes include: • Common clauses across different contract types captured in a generic base contract conditions; • Revised contract clauses to reflect policy/legislative changes and current industry best practice; • Generic base contract conditions with infrastructure-specific provisions included in a clause bank; • Potential for marine and busway provisions to be added to clause bank increasing versatility of the contract; • Reduced duplication of contract requirements;

• Strengthened commitment to relationship principles; • Existing forms simplified to be more user friendly; and • New templates developed to cater for contracts of different needs. The TIC is a suite of contract types and will include the following: • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Construct Only (TIC-CO) • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Sole invitation (TIC-SI) • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Design & Construct (TIC-DC) The first phase of the TIC implementation commenced in April 2015, with the introduction of the TIC-CO which went live on the TMR internet site and Works Management System (WMS). The TIC-CO replaces the current Road Construction Contract (RCC). Positive feedback was received from users and industry. Please refer to the following link for more information on the TIC-CO: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/business-industry/Technical-standards-publications/Transport-Infrastructure-Contract/TIC-Construct-Only.aspx The next step to the TIC is to introduce the TIC-SI (contract type most likely to be used by LGAQ members) to replace the Road Performance Contract (RPC), and the TIC-DC to replace the Design & Construct (D&C) during the second of half of 2015. There is a possibility in future that other contract types such as Minor Works are to be incorporated into the TIC.
