Description

We are seeking a contractor to replace the current wash bay system.

The Council has a range of vehicles and trailers which include those used for refuse, passenger transport buses, transits, trailers and a variety of plant. The Council has a total of 1000 fleet assets of which 400 are vehicles and the current wash bay is not large enough to wash all vehicles at the speed and time required.
The current wash bay is not large enough to cope with the demand of the fleet. The upgraded wash bay system will include a new drainage system flowing into a new three stage interceptor reducing the maintenance being carried out. The wash system itself will be self-contained within its own storage unit utilising the space allowed. To feed the wash system a new self-banded fuel storage system will be added to the wash container.

The contracting authority intends to use an eTendering system in this procurement exercise.
