Nation Building and Jobs Plan
Building the Education Revolution
An Australian Government Funded Initiative
Requests for Expressions of Interest
The Tasmanian Department of Education invites expressions of interest from the building and construction industry in the following categories:
• Architects and Building Designers
• Building and Building Maintenance Contractors
• Building Surveyors
• Quantity Surveyors
• Civil Engineers
• Structural Engineers
This information will assist in identifying local capacity to support the forthcoming Building the Education Revolution (BER) program. For contractors to register you must be able to provide a building practitioner accreditation number.
Those registered may then be called on to bid for work stemming from this project. The department is especially interested in seeking registrations from smaller regional builders and contractors even though they may not hold any form of pre – qualification with the Department of Treasury and Finance.
The Australian Government has committed funding of up to $300 million for Tasmanian Government schools over three years to provide new facilities and refurbishments in Tasmanian schools to provide 21st century facilities for school communities through the BER program. This is a critical component of the Australian Government’s Economic Stimulus Nation Building and Jobs Plan giving our schools the attention they so richly deserve. To ensure that BER has the greatest impact on job support, it is essential that construction and maintenance work is undertaken as quickly as possible.
The three elements of the BER are:
-
Primary Schools for the 21st Century. For projects up to $3 million for all Tasmanian primary schools, K-12 schools (primary school component) and special schools to build or renew infrastructure including libraries, halls and classrooms.
-
Science and Language Centres for the 21st Century Secondary Schools. For projects up to $2 million for the construction of new science labratories or language learning centre in secondary schools.
-
National Schools Pride Program. For projects up to $200,000 for all schools to refurbish and renew existing infrastructure.
