Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Public Transport Authority of Western Australia / Transperth; Programmed Facility Management procured on the authority's behalf
Delivery parties
Maritime Constructions Pty Ltd - fixed-price design-and-construct contractor named by Tenders WA, Design consultants, fabricators, piling and marine plant providers, electrical and controls integrators, testing parties and other lower tiers - not separately identified in public contract materials
Contract route
Tenders WA identifies an open-advertisement works procurement, reference PROPTA25042, with five submissions. The portal marks the contract as one-off, records closure on 20 March 2026 and award on 14 April 2026, and gives an original fixed price of AUD 1,756,143. It publishes no final expiry date.
Execution window
The public contract record gives no commencement date, final expiry date, detailed programme or completion milestone. The April award establishes supplier selection only. Design release, fabrication, marine access, installation, testing, commissioning, warranty commencement and operational handover remain unconfirmed.
Works package
A new Transperth ferry platform and gangway are to be added to the existing Elizabeth Quay facility. The official description includes design, documentation, engineering, fabrication, supply, delivery, installation, modification, testing, commissioning and warranty for architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, communications and security elements. Public material does not disclose platform dimensions, pile schedule, gangway geometry, design loads, detailed quantities or issued-for-construction drawings.
Marine interfaces
The package must connect a new passenger platform and accessible gangway to an operating urban ferry terminal on the Swan River. Material interfaces include the existing structure, tidal movement, vessel berthing and fendering, mooring hardware, passenger accessibility, services, electrical and communications systems, security, testing and commissioning. Public contract materials do not allocate temporary ferry operations, navigation controls, barge access, lifting methodology or possession windows.
Commercial evidence boundary
AUD 1,756,143 is the portal's original fixed contract value, not evidence of certified expenditure, final account or a per-unit rate. Five submissions establish competition context but do not disclose bid spread, evaluation scores, exclusions, provisional sums, options, variations, payment status or final cost.
