T-2024-1249 - Design and Construct - Head Contractor Passive Installations - 307 Pitt Street, Sydney

The City of Sydney ("the City") invites Requests for Tender for the carrying out the Design and Construction of Head Contractor Passive (fire stopping) installations for Stage 4B - 307 Pitt Street Sydney (The Project), in accordance with this request.

307 Pitt Street consists of an existing 15-storey commercial building that includes a basement carpark, retail on ground floor and office levels above. These project works are called for in response to a Fire Order issued by the City of Sydney on 9 May 2019. Subsequent amendments have been made to the Fire Order, with the latest version being dated 21 November 2022. At the time of preparing this RFT, the City has requested a Fire order extension until December 2025.

Works first commenced May 2020. Since this date, the scope requirements have evolved leading to the current phase, Stage 4B. This stage proposes to close out all works required to satisfy the Fire Order.

Stage 4B construction works are to be delivered as a Design & Construct (D&C) delivery model, satisfying scope identified from a 2023 building wide passive audit and Fire Safety Engineering design. Engineering support has been provided by Core Pty Ltd and Fire Safety Engineering support and Fire Engineering reporting by Fahrenheit Pty Ltd.

The 307 Pitt Street building is estimated to be more than 30 years old and its construction includes structural limitations that make it impossible to fully comply with the current National Construction Code (NCC), Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the relevant Australian Standards without major building alterations.

A building wide Fire Safety Strategy Upgrade Report (FSSUR) has been prepared by Fahrenheit to achieve an acceptable level of fire safety for the occupants and the building.

The FSSUR has been prepared as a fire safety upgrade strategy that allows the current non-compliances to achieve an acceptable level of fire safety in line with the intent and performance requirements of the NCC and BCA. The FSSUR document outlines the Project scope requirements of the passive fire stopping.
