COMPETITIVE PRICING PROCEDURES FOR LAND TRANSPORT PROJECTS. PAPER PRESENTED AT THE AUSTRALASIAN TRANSPORT RESEARCH FORUM; PART 1

The Transit New Zealand Act (1989) requires that from 1 July 1991 all road construction, maintenance, planning, design and supervision projects and public transport subsidies are to be awarded by a competitive pricing procedure. The Act also states that projects may not be undertaken directly by central or local government departments. This will result in a major change to the way in which most types of land transport projects in New Zealand are carried out. Transit New Zealand is required to define the competitive pricing procedures that will apply for the different types of projects. A substantial study was conducted to establish and document these procedures during the first half of 1990. This paper details the competitive pricing procedures that have been adopted by Transit New Zealand as a result of the study, and discusses issues that were considered in developing these procedures.
