Taupo District Council has offered three waters maintenance contract to Downer New Zealand Limited.

The contract worth $11.4 million is for a period of five years with rights to two, two-year renewals subject to performance and council approval. It also includes electrical maintenance work at the treatment plants and pump stations of the council.

Mayor David Trewavas said the council had conducted a strict process to select the winning bid.

He said,"Our procurement policy acknowledges that value for money does not necessarily mean selecting the lowest price but rather the best outcome for the district."

He added,"Downer is well established in the Taup District with roading teams based in Taupo and Turangi. It is proposed that the delivery team for the contract will be split between its Taupo and Turangi offices so they will be well positioned to attend urgent jobs at both ends of the lake. The merging of the maintenance and electrical contracts is also expected to deliver some cost savings through the efficiencies gained."
