AUSTRALIND — PASSENGER PLATFORMS UPGRADE
368. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to upgrades to passenger platforms on the Australind line.
(1) Which company is undertaking the work on the platforms?
(2) Please provide the tender documentation for the building of the platforms.
(3) Please provide a breakdown of project costings for the new platform at Yarloop on the Australind line.
(4) When will the Cookernup and North Dandalup platforms be upgraded to universal access?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Work is being carried out using a number of existing Public Transport Authority subcontractors and suppliers under the supervision of the PTA's network and infrastructure facilities coordinator.
(2) The fabrication work for the Yarloop platform was subject only to a request-for-quote process. A tender process was not required due to the cost of fabrication being under procurement tender thresholds.
(3) The breakdown of project costings is: Yarloop design consultancy, $80 000; Arc Infrastructure cost allowance, $50 000; and construction, $445 000.
(4) It is anticipated that the North Dandalup high level platform will be constructed in financial year 2018–19 and the Cookernup platform will be built in financial year 2019–20.
