The attached document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) that illustrates many of the principles of the Full Price process for selecting the NOPs. The document was specifically prepared by the Water Corporation of Western Australia (Water Corp) to form alliances to design and construct, and to operate and maintain the Southern Seawater Desalination Project.
The RFP was prepared by Water Corp tailored to its specific project requirements and corporate practices. This document is provided to illustrate the full price process in a RFP that lead to a successful project. The document is not provided as a template RFP that can be readily utilised on another project. Rather, this RFP is presented to assist Owners in understanding the broad issues in developing their own project specific RFP should they choose to follow a full price selection process for the NOPs.
Broadly, the Southern Seawater Desalination Project RFP aligns to the intent of this Guide and the process shown in Appendix C. However, there are some areas where terminology differs and/or there are different emphases that are material enough to warrant explanation. Hence, for the purpose of clarity, the following commentary is provided on various elements of the RFP.
