And so it begins:
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for organisations wishing to tender for a proposed Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract to collaborate with the project partners and project team to design and develop the Darwin Education and Civic Precinct.
This proposed development is a centrepiece initiative of the Darwin City Deal between the City of Darwin, Northern Territory and Australia Government and Charles Darwin University (CDU).
The development, on the Cavenagh Street Car Park site, aims to give CDU a presence in the heart of Darwin City. The development objectives are:
• An opportunity to showcase an iconic building that is environmentally sustainable (“green”) using the latest technology and environmental science
• A sustainable partnership, benefitting the university, industry, community and government by providing an opportunity to interact directly at many levels to foster greater interaction and synergy
• To create contemporary learning spaces and places that will attract new students from overseas as well as provide an urban campus experience
• A vibrant Precinct that contributes to the local economy, and helps revitalise the city centre through new construction, building confidence for new investment as well as bringing new jobs and student/staff activity into the city centre.
The ECI contractor must bring extensive experience in design management, cost planning and construction of significant mixed use developments or experience delivering significant individual educational, commercial or public developments.
The EOI is the first stage of a multi-stage tender process. The objective of the EOI process is to identify and pre-register organisations that are interested in entering into the proposed contract and have suitable capacity, capability and experience.
