Waitakere Transfer Station's New Waste Loader

Details

Auckland Council is seeking to appoint a supplier who will provide a new waste handling Loader at Waitakere Transfer Station. The purpose of this notice is to identify suppliers interested in participating in RFP tender for the Waitakere Transfer Station's New Waste Loader.


The Waitakere waste transfer station requires a new loading machine as a backup to the primary machine that does the majority of the work on site.
This allows the primary machine to receive regular servicing to maintain its fitness for work. Additionally, occasional accidental damage or failure of certain components can occur which highlights a requirement for an immediate temporary replacement. It's also crucial that the site can maintain the load out of waste otherwise council is at risk of being in breach of its resource consents should volumes get too high.


It's a crucial requirement that the loading out of waste is maintained. The current backup loader is no longer fit for purpose due to age has now reached the end of its useable life within the waste handling environment and is starting to cost Auckland Council more through repair and maintenance costs.
Sourcing a new loader with low hours will provide the council with a reliable and efficient secondary machine, ensuring the site’s loading requirements can always be maintained, reducing the cost of maintenance and repair, in addition to saving council money on purchasing a new machine with an appropriate warranty.
