TNR Program vision

• Connecting Queensland – the Transport Network Reconstruction Program will restore our flood damaged transport network on time and in a safe and efficient manner.

Setting the scene: 2010 – 2011 events

2010 events:• Cyclones Olga, Neville, Ului and Paul

Damage across the State(at 30 April 2011)

• 28% (approx 9,170 km) of road network damaged by 2010 and 2011 weather events – road network suffered more damage than any other asset

• 29% of the rail network affected• 89 bridges and culverts damaged• 5% of TMR’s Brisbane cycle network and

5% of Cairns cycle network affected

NDRRA funding

Where does NDRRA funding come from?

• 75% of works reimbursed by Australian government

• 25% of works funded by State government • Emergency Management Australia (EMA)

administers NDRRA funding on behalf of the Australian government

• Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QldRA) and Emergency Management Queensland (EMQ) coordinate NDRRA funding in Queensland

Australian Reconstruction Inspectorate

The Australian Reconstruction Inspectorate will:• scrutinise rebuilding contracts• directly inspect projects to ensure they are

meeting progress milestones• investigate complaints or issues raised by the

public• work directly with state reconstruction agencies to

develop contractual frameworks, tendering processes and project management systems

• scrutinise requests for reimbursement by local government for projects completed for the purpose of reconstruction

• examine high value of complex projects prior to execution

State Government response

• Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) established to reconnect, rebuild and improve Queensland communities and the economy.

• Six lines of reconstruction: Human and Social Economic Environment Building Road and Transport Communication and Engagement.

• QRA reports to the Premier. • Focus is on performance, quality, safety and

value for money.

TMR Response

• Established Transport Network Reconstruction Program.

• Part of TMR QTRIP.• All modes

o roado railo portso maritime.

• Established statewide program office and regional project offices.

• TNR Program reports to the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.

Statewide Program Office

• Key functions of the SPO include:o implementing consistent strategies,

systems and processes across the program

o statewide coordination of critical contractor and material resources

o statewide prioritisation of projectso liaison with key internal and external

stakeholders on program issueso program monitoring and reporting.

Regional Project Offices

• The RPOs will work within existing TMR regional structure to deliver regional reconstruction programs, including:o design and specification of the workso obtain relevant approvals – environmental, cultural

heritageo develop, tender and award construction packageso undertake contract management including field

supervision, inspection and testingo project cost control, schedule control, progress

measurement and reporting at a regional level.

Program timeframes

• Emergent works:• 60 days from declaration of NDRRA

Event• complete end April 2011.

• Reconstruction works:• all works to be completed by June 2014.

Contracting philosophy

• Utilise local capability.• Ensure long term sustainability of local

industry.• Utilise major contractors to supplement

local industry.• Major contractors bring in staff, facilities

and equipment (self sustainable).• All contractors must be prequalified with

TMR.

Three-pronged approach:• Roadtek and LGAs (average $20M and $5M respectively)

- sole invitation- benchmarked performance.

• Competitively tendered packages of values $5M to $50M to small to medium regionally based prequalified contractors

- rolling program 2nd and 3rd tranche- benchmarked performance.

• Competitively tendered large works packages of values $100M to $250M to large prequalified contractors

- rolling program 2nd tranche- benchmarked performance.

Asphalt > 500,000 T

Cement > 225,000 T

Stabilisers > 70 (TBC)

Estimate of statewide Material and Plant requirements

Materials strategy

• Leveraging existing TMR statewide supply agreements for bitumen and cement.

• Undertaking regional and statewide supply and demand analyses.

• Materials shortages potentially delivered under principal-supplied arrangements.

• Logistics solutions required.• Immediately pre-invest in and stockpile

non-perishable materials.

Current status

• Regional Project Offices completed logging of damage• Submissions are being developed:

> $1.2B (2011)> $1.7B (2010)

• RPOs developing works packages and program.• 7 contractor information sessions held.• Emergent Works ≈ $287M completed.• Initial contracts have been awarded ≈ $423M.• Packages with market for tendering ≈ $318M.• Finalised second round of shortlisted contractors for

packages > $30M.• Finalise Statewide Program by end June 2011.• Finalising materials procurement strategy and commencing

negotiations with suppliers.
