Guidance note: This Section is intended to set out an overview of material issues that may impact the delivery of the Project. A sub-heading should be inserted for each Key Project Issue. In determining Key Project Issues, Procuring Agencies should consider the materiality of an issue and the potential to differentiate responses when evaluating Evaluation Criterion 3 (Understanding of Key Project Issues and Proposed Approach). Examples of Key Project Issues from other Partnerships Victoria availability PPP projects have included: ▪ key Project interfaces. Note: If the successful delivery of the Project is dependent on significant coordination and cooperation between other contractors (e.g. early works contractor), projects and third parties, the Procuring Agency may consider addressing 'interfaces' in a stand-alone Section; ▪ Returned Works, being works to be completed by Project Co during the Development Phase and progressively handed back to their respective third party facility owners / operators in accordance with the State Project Documents; ▪ third-party disruption minimisation and management (including traffic and transport management); ▪ requirements in respect of spoil material testing and removal; ▪ utilities and local infrastructure impacts; ▪ State delivery program, including early completion and staging; ▪ stakeholder engagement; ▪ sustainability (e.g. whether the Project has an endorsed sustainability policy or sustainability targets); ▪ accreditation requirements to deliver and maintain the Project asset(s); ▪ occupational health and safety; ▪ ICT requirements and integration with existing systems; and ▪ site issues, including any brownfield constraints/impacts. The information in this Section will assist Respondents in formulating a response to Evaluation Criterion 3 (Understanding of Project Issues and Proposed Approach) Response Requirements. |
