PERTH URBAN RAIL DEVELOPMENT, CONTRACT
I refer to the minister’s answer to my question on notice given 25 October 2001 regarding the Perth urban rail development, and ask - (1) How was the contract let? (2) Was it for this work alone or for other work; and, if so, what other work? (3) To whom was the contract let? Where is that person’s principal office? (4) What was the basis of charges? (5) How is the sum of $32 000 calculated in accordance with the contract? (6) Has any other work been done - (a) on images; (b) on other animations; or (c) otherwise under the contract? (7) What is the cost of that other work? (8) Given the minister’s answer that the animation was intended to “give people a clear understanding of the scale and visual aspects of a railway in the freeway and into the city” - (a) is it intended to lower the railway below the level of the Narrows Bridge and freeway as suggested by the animation? (b) why have the overhead power supply cables been omitted from several animations, for example along the freeway, where the visual aspect would be at its most serious? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question, which I will answer on behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. (1) Competitive tender - tenders were invited from four companies and the lowest cost quotation was accepted. (2) This work alone. (3) Continuum Resources, East Perth. (4)-(5) Lump sum fee based on a scope of work. (6) (a) a number of other virtual images have been produced including images of proposed stations, the new railcar on the freeway and routes into Perth. These have been undertaken by various consultants on separate contracts. (b) No. (c) This particular company has produced only one small image on a separate contract. (7) $400. (8) (a) No. The animation shows the tracks laid on a slab track on the road surface. There is no intention to lower the railway below existing road level. (b) In distance shots the railway infrastructure is generalised as a single thick grey line; for example, no track or overhead is shown. In all close-up shots, where cable would be seen in real life, the cable was shown. In fact, in some shots, such as across the Narrows Bridge, the cable was thickened to ensure it was visible and not misrepresentative.

Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question, which I will answer on behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. (1) Competitive tender - tenders were invited from four companies and the lowest cost quotation was accepted. (2) This work alone. (3) Continuum Resources, East Perth. (4)-(5) Lump sum fee based on a scope of work. (6) (a) a number of other virtual images have been produced including images of proposed stations, the new railcar on the freeway and routes into Perth. These have been undertaken by various consultants on separate contracts. (b) No. (c) This particular company has produced only one small image on a separate contract. (7) $400. (8) (a) No. The animation shows the tracks laid on a slab track on the road surface. There is no intention to lower the railway below existing road level. (b) In distance shots the railway infrastructure is generalised as a single thick grey line; for example, no track or overhead is shown. In all close-up shots, where cable would be seen in real life, the cable was shown. In fact, in some shots, such as across the Narrows Bridge, the cable was thickened to ensure it was visible and not misrepresentative.
(6) Has any other work been done - (a) on images; (b) on other animations; or (c) otherwise under the contract? (7) What is the cost of that other work? (8) Given the minister’s answer that the animation was intended to “give people a clear understanding of the scale and visual aspects of a railway in the freeway and into the city” - (a) is it intended to lower the railway below the level of the Narrows Bridge and freeway as suggested by the animation? (b) why have the overhead power supply cables been omitted from several animations, for example along the freeway, where the visual aspect would be at its most serious?
