The Merrimac Station is one of the three new rail stations to be delivered as part of the New Gold Coast Stations Program by the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.
The project consisted of the design and construction of the new Merrimac train station and supporting infrastructure. The new station was required to integrate effectively with the surrounding urban environment and facilitate high quality connections to other transport modes.
Changes to traditional procurement processes and contract forms were required to ensure appropriate competition, meet project timeframes, and maximise value under contemporary market conditions. Delta developed an innovative procurement process that was structured to maximise competition and target key aspects at critical phases during the transaction. The approach also implemented a revised contract model to minimise inappropriate risk pricing and maximise value from the procurement.
