Business Info
The Central Highlands region is in Central Queensland, Australia. The region encompasses an area of around 60 000 square kilometres, making it just short of the size of Tasmania.

It is home to around 30 000 people who live in the thirteen unique communities of Arcadia Valley, Bauhinia, Blackwater, Bluff, Capella, Comet, Dingo, Duaringa, Emerald, Rolleston, Sapphire Gemfields, Springsure and Tieri.

Our region is rich in minerals and agriculture, thriving on irrigation sourced from water storage on the Nogoa and Comet rivers. We claim the largest sapphire-producing fields in the Southern Hemisphere.

Major freight routes through the region include the north-south link between Charters Towers and northern New South Wales—identified as the inland transport alternative between Cairns and Melbourne.

Question:
Good evening,

Was just wondering with the Skid Steer loader, is there any specific attachments you're requiring for this tender? For example, Drum Mulcher and Slasher attachments. Or more Civil attachments.

cheers

Thank you for your response. I would encourage you to list and price all attachments that you have available for your machine.

Question:
Good morning, would the central highlands council be interested in some Specialized equipment at all. Remote control mower/slashers at all that can mow on gradients up to 50 degrees. These units are great as they remove operators away from main roads and dangerous locations. Removing the risk completely of people potentially getting injured?

Cheers,

Good morning, the equipment mentioned does not fall under the scope of this tender.

Question:
The response schedules outlined in the tender binder notes a S01 Pricing Schedule which does not appear to be attached to the response documents. There is only a S01B Commercial Framework. Can you please provide the required Pricing Schedule document or advise if this is not required.

Answered on 07/Jan/2025 07:37 AM:


Good morning, as outlines in the CSR CHRC has not supplied Schedule 1a. Suppliers are to provide their own current price lists for long term (12 month) monthly hire and short term (1month) hire of the above specified plant.

Question:
Hello. Under the goods & services requirements section it notes spreader trucks. Are these asphalt spreader trucks specifically? We can provide material delivery trucks that use a hopper fed conveyor system that can deliver/spread material at high discharge rates, but different to a continuous width spreader as per asphalt application. If you could please clarify what application you need in regard to this item that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Council is happy to consider any plant that you have to offer under this arrangement. I note, there is no specific spreader truck identified, therefore you can add your plant and description to the schedule of rates for CHRC to consider. Thanks
