Dear Bruno
We are pleased to advise that you been shortlisted by KPHL to submit a tender in relation to the Project.
This letter sets out the further information for you, and the information required from you, under this request
for tender (RFT) process.
1. INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to this RFT, KPHL wishes to:
(b) provide an opportunity for that contractor to be awarded the construction contract for the
construction of the Project.
On behalf of KPHL, we now invite you to submit a tender in accordance with this letter towards the above
purpose. As an interim step, would you please sign and return the Tender Acknowledgment Form
included in Attachment 7 to this letter and return it to me by no later than 4pm on Friday 29th January
2021.
2. PROJECT INFORMATION
Project scope
The project is a 295 apartment development which KPH will retain ownership of and operate as a BTR
asset, adjoining the thriving retail precinct at Sylvia Park and growing commercial hub.
The development will be KPH’s first BTR asset and is intended to become a flagship for future BTR
developments at Sylvia Park and throughout their wider portfolio.
The development site is located on residential sites at 23-35 Lynton Road and 252 & 252A Mt Wellington
Highway, which is at the northern end of Sylvia Park with direct access to Sylvia Park. Construction
access is proposed to be off Lynton Road.
Project team
The main consultants include:
I2c / Ryders / Pacific Environments – Architecture
Holmes Consulting Group – Structural Engineering
E Cubed – Building Services
Aurecon – Façade Engineering
Holmes Fire – Fire Engineering
Rider Levett Bucknall – Cost Consultant
Greenstone – Project Management
Resource consent
The Resource consent was approved on 21 December 2020, and subsequently the design has
developed further and whereby the Principal will be submitting a Resource Consent amendment
application by March 2021, and which relates to:
Height for all three buildings has increased (A & C by one level, and B by two levels)
Increase in the quantity of apartments
Reduction in the size of the basement, and therefore less car spaces
Removal of one rooftop outdoor area
Revision to the façade design
As a result, the concept design documentation that has been provided (refer to Briefing Materials;
attachment 4) is aligned with the revised design for the Resource Consent amendment application.
Building consent
A split consenting strategy is proposed (refer to below). The main benefits of this approach are that
construction can commence at an earlier stage of the design phase, the Principal can proceed with a
staged delivery and has the ability to mitigate a range of risks. Refer to below:
3. THIS RFT
This RFT sets out:
(a) KPHL’s intention in relation to the preconstruction process (see paragraph 4);
(b) a summary of key terms that will apply under the construction contract (see paragraph 5);
(c) an outline of the RFT timing and of the Project’s proposed timeline (see paragraph 5);
(d) information that KPHL is providing for the purposes of tenderers better understanding the Project
(see paragraph 6);
(e) information that KPHL would like to receive from tenderers as part of their tender responses.
(This information will be used as part of KPHL’s considerations as to the tenderer it wishes to
appoint as its construction consultant) (see paragraph 7, 8 and 9); and
(f) the terms and conditions that apply to the RFT process (see paragraph 10 and Schedule 1).
4. PRECONSTRUCTION PROCESS
We have set out below KPHL’s intention in relation to the preconstruction process. However, tenderers
should refer to the form of PSA in Attachment 1 to this letter.
KPHL and its advisers have considered the preconstruction fee structure, which reflects the following:
(a) a fixed fee for the construction consultant’s performance of the preconstruction services including
attendances at meetings and workshops and the submission of the pre-defined deliverables; and
(b) for variations to those services, reimbursement on an hourly rates basis in accordance with the rates
to be set out in the PSA.
Pricing process
During the preconstruction period the construction consultant is to work with KPHL’s project manager
(Greenstone Group) and quantity surveyor (RLB) and the design team to build up a Contract Price for
the Contract Works. Pricing will be on the following basis:
(a) construction sum with a full breakdown of all trade packages and other contract works, to be
procured by the construction consultant on a competitive tender process on an open-book basis;
(c) margin sum (for Off-site Overheads and Profit), based on the net construction sum and the
preliminaries sum and any provisional sums, using the successful tenderer’s tendered margin
percentage (as submitted as part of its tender, see below); and
(d) any agreed provisional sums items (for those works agreed during the preconstruction period to be
provisional sums). There may be two types of “provisional sum” items: true provisional sums and
the ‘Price TBC’ items. The ’Price TBC items are those parts of the works for which pricing is to be
fixed after award of the construction contract, in accordance with the pricing process set out in the
construction contract.
All pricing must be transparent with all assumptions (including pricing exclusions) clearly stated and with
no hidden costs.
Key Personnel
Key personnel appointments are required and such persons may not be removed by the construction
consultant unless permitted under the PSA. KPHL expects that relevant delivery team members included
in the preconstruction team will remain available to the project for the delivery phase in the same roles,
or as agreed by KPHL.
To facilitate the timely award of the Construction Contract, and so that the parties are aware of their risk
positions when engaging through the preconstruction process, KPHL will include the agreed form of
Construction Contract in the PSA and that the construction consultant is to be bound by that form.
Tenderers should be aware that it is the intent of KPHL not to award a Construction Contract unless and
until there is price certainty for the majority of the value of the Contract Works (to an extent determined
by KPHL), and subject to satisfaction of the other prerequisites to award as set out in the PSA.
(b) separable portions: Building A (and associated podium), Building B (and associated podium), and
Building C (and associated podium, and balance of the works). The scope and structure of each
separable portion will be confirmed in consultation with the contractor during the PSA process.
(c) price: fixed lump sum in relation to the majority of the value of the Contract Works (with the remaining
trades to be fixed after award in accordance with the trade letting process in the Construction
Contract);
(d) completion date(s) for each Separable Portion: fixed, subject to EOT rights as set out in the
Construction Contract;
Month 5 and
Area Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4
following
Separable Portion 1 - Basement
$0 $3,457 $6,914.37 $9,219.16 $11,524
Carpark & Building A
(f) DNP: 12 months from Practical Completion of the whole of the Contract Works, with further periods
applying for ‘material’ defects rectified during the DNP as set out in the Construction Contract;
(i) security requirements (bank bonding): required in the amount of 5% of the Contract Price, in
accordance with the requirements (including as to the form) set out in the Construction Contract;
(k) security requirements (parent guarantees): it is intended that there will be a guarantee of the
Contractor provided by its parent company or ultimate shareholder, in the form provided in the
Construction Contract;
(l) security requirements (warranties): deeds of warranty are required from the Contractor and from
Subcontractors in accordance with the relevant forms set out in the Construction Contract.
Subcontractor continuity deeds are also required from subcontractors;
(m) insurances: the principal will effect the contract works insurance required by the Construction
Contract; the Contractor is to hold and maintain the following insurances: public liability ($50m), motor
vehicle ($10m), professional indemnity ($5m), and plant insurance (for items with a value of over
$20,000);
(n) key personnel: key personnel appointments are required and such persons may not be removed by
the Contractor unless permitted under the Construction Contract. Key personnel amounts are
required as set out in the Construction Contract;
(o) licences: the only licences for which the Principal is responsible for obtaining in relation to the
construction of the Contract Works and the use of the Contract Works when constructed are:
resource consent(s), building consents (other than any building consent required for the temporary
works; or for that part of the Contract Works that is required to be designed by the Contractor; or that
may be required for the Contractor’s method of working; or that may otherwise be required in
connection with any act or omission of the Contractor including any change to the Contract Works
implemented by the Contractor) and engineering approvals for work on public infrastructure. The
Contractor is to comply with conditions of such licences obtained by the Principal and is to obtain all
other licences for the undertaking of the Contract Works.
Milestone Date
KPHL intends to appoint its contractor based on the following RFT requirements described in paragraphs
8 and 9 below. This should therefore guide you in terms of the matters that should be covered in your
tender and we ask that your response is no more than 50 no. A4 pages.

circumstance causing the delay and minimising its consequences.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Contract to the contrary, the Contractor must give

Whenever the Contractor may be entitled to an extension of time the Principal may, through the
Engineer, instruct the Contractor to overcome all or part of the delay by accelerating the work or by
applying additional resources if necessary to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
The Cost of such acceleration shall be determined as if a Variation and the Engineer may seek a
variation price from the Contractor under 9.1A prior to instruction such acceleration. To the extent so
instructed, the Engineer shall grant either no extension of time or such lesser extension of time as is
reasonable in the circumstances.

10.3.7:
(a) is subject to the Contractor fully substantiating the Costs for which it seeks to be paid; and
(b) must, where the Contractor has been granted an extension of time due to the net effect of
any Variation, take into account any allowance for time-related Cost already included in the
valuation for that Variation under 9.3.
Insert new clauses 10.3.8 and 10.3.9 as follows:
10.3.8 In any circumstances where there is a delay in the Contractor achieving a Due Date for Completion
for which delay the Contractor is not entitled to an extension of time, then the Contractor shall take all
steps necessary to overcome the delay as soon as practicable. No steps taken to accelerate the
works under this clause shall give rise to any entitlement for the Contractor to make a Claim against
the Principal.
10.3.9
(a) A delay by the Principal or Engineer or a failure of the Engineer to grant a reasonable
extension of time shall not cause the Due Date for Completion to be set at large.

HEALTH & SAFETY
1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATION
Refer to the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Comply also with all other relevant New Zealand
safety legislation.
The Contractor will ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that, each subcontractor they engage and each separate
contractor is aware of and complies with its obligations under health and safety-related law.
For the purpose of health and safety-related law, the contract administrator and others involved in contract administration
and observation and construction monitoring will not at any time have management or control of the Workplace.
Until further regulations are made under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 to cover them, the transitional provisions
of the Act continue in force until revoked or amended.
Take all practical steps to make the site and the contract works safe and to provide and maintain a safe working
environment. Ensure that all those working on or visiting the site are aware of the rules governing site safety, are properly
supervised and are not unnecessarily exposed to hazards and risks.
Co-operate, consult and co-ordinate health and safety matters with each PCBU including all subcontractors, suppliers,
separate contractors, others engaged on the project and others who may be affected by the construction of the works.
Identify any significant hazards and risks.
Maintain proper procedures for dealing with any emergencies that may arise. Immediately investigate accidents, identify
their cause and maintain a register of accidents and serious harm. Provide a copy of any report which the contractor is
required to make to a public authority on any accident which is associated with carrying out the contract works and results
in serious harm to any person.
To understand the Health and Safety requirements for projects undertaken by Kiwi Property, refer to the following
document: “Health and Safety Procedures for Kiwi Property Development Projects.” (refer to appendix A).
The Contractor is to be familiar with this document and is to take into account the requirements at all stages of the project.
22 | P&G Spec
The management framework to be followed throughout the project is summarised below:
AUDITING REQUIREMENTS
It is required for the Contractor to undertake an external health and safety audit by a suitable qualified consultant on a
monthly basis. The audit report is to be included in the Contractors monthly PCG report.
23 | P&G Spec
HOMESTAR ACCREDITATION
1. GENERAL
The Principal requires the project to be Homestar accredited and therefore the Contractor is to allow for any inputs that are
required to achieve this objective.
It is the intention of the Principal to obtain accreditation under the Homestar NZ V4.1 rating tool, with the aim of achieving
a minimum of 7 Star Built certification. A copy of the technical manual is available on request and/or can be downloaded
from the NZGBC website using the following link: https://www.nzgbc.org.nz/Category?Action=View&Category_id=305
The attached concept scorecard (refer to appendix B) indicates a potential pathway for a 7 Star rating for the project. This
scorecard is provisional only and will be used as a basis for further review with the design team about the feasibility and
scope of the rating during the next stages of design. More detailed guidance on the Homestar requirements will be
developed during the design phase by the Principal’s ESD Consultant, eCubed Building Workshop Ltd.
Waste Management
During construction and demolition works the Contractor shall develop and implement a comprehensive site-specific
Waste Management Plan (WMP) and meet the waste recycling or reuse target of at least 80% by weight in accordance
with Homestar Credit WST-1 requirements. This shall be reported to the principal throughout the project on a minimum of
quarterly basis.
Environmental Management
During construction and demolition works the Contractor shall prepare and implement a comprehensive site-specific best
practice Environmental Management Plan (EMP) developed and implemented in accordance with the NSW Environmental
Management System Guidelines and in accordance with Homestar Credit MAN-3 requirements. The EMP shall be
implemented from the beginning of construction works to ensure the Contractor, sub-Contractors and suppliers comply
with the environmental conditions and rating targets for the project.
While not required, additional consideration will be given to Contractors that can confirm they maintain a formal
environment management system (EMS) for the site that is independently certified to a recognised standard, such as
AS/NZS ISO 14001, Toitū Envirocare (Enviro-Mark) Diamond, BS 7750 or the European Community's EMAS
Materials
There is a complete category within Homestar devoted to materials. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact
associated with the products we choose to use in our buildings. Points are awarded for the selection of environmentally
certified products or the re-use of materials where possible (Credit MAT-1). In addition, there are other credits relating to
indoor air quality and emissions which set requirements on the effect of certain chemicals used in materials and their
manufacture (Credit MAT-2).
Careful selection and monitoring of materials is very important for the project to be successful. The Contractor should be
able to demonstrate how they intend to record and report on all products purchased for the project to verify that those
products conform with any Homestar requirements, and procedures used on-site to inform and educate site operatives as
to the Homestar requirements and monitor compliance.
