(1) Yes. (2) Primarily in 1996/97 to 1998/99. (3) Main Roads records indicate that approximately $1.5 million has been spent on the design of Stage 4 of Roe Highway. (4) Recent experience has shown that the design and construct process can realise substantial benefits for large and/or complex projects. The process reduces Main Roads exposure to risks of inadequate interfacing between design and construction and maximises the opportunity for tenderers to offer innovative and effective designs. Roe Highway Stages 4 and 5 have been combined as a single design and construct contract to realise these benefits. (5)-(6) All design work undertaken to date will be provided to tenderers. The value of this design work will be an integral element of the tender process. Tenderers will reflect the value of this work in their final tender price.
