Our infrastructure delivery plan contains proposed/future works contracts with estimated value above $3 million. It covers all types of contracts across Main Roads Western Australia and is subject to change.

Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2021-2025 (PDF) - Updated August 2021

In developing the plan, we aim to:

• Consult with industry and develop innovative and cost-effective approaches, enabling delivery flexibility and expansion of industry capability;
• Identify, understand and allocate risks to the party best able to manage that risk;
• Package the projects to meet Main Roads and industry needs;
• Demonstrate leadership in building industry resource capability and capacity; and
• Utilise a blend of delivery methods to optimise Main Roads, Local Government and industry resources

Prequalification is a mandatory requirement for most Main Roads Western Australia civil (road and bridge) construction contracts, regardless of value. Companies wishing to submit tenders to Main Roads must be prequalified under the National Prequalification System (NPS).

To become prequalified for the construction of roadworks and/or bridgeworks, an application form must be completed and submitted according to the instructions on the form.

If you are a contractor who is already prequalified with another participating agency, you may seek mutual recognition with us by submitting a mutual recognition application.

To view a list of companies prequalified with us, refer to our List of Prequalified Contractors.

Environmental management requirements are applied throughout a project’s lifecycle. The technical information and templates that employees and contractors need to be aware of to complete activities and projects can be found below.

Environmental Incident Reporting and Investigation

An environmental incident is any event resulting from the activities of Main Roads, Contractors working on our behalf and third parties, which has the potential to cause, or has caused, an adverse effect on the environment, or has resulted in a complaint relating to an environmental issue. All environmental incidents must be identified, reported, investigated and reviewed. Appropriate corrective actions are to be undertaken and processes revised as appropriate to prevent recurrence.

The Environment Incident Reporting Form is to be used to report any environmental incidents to Main Roads and notify the Environment Branch.

Environmental and Heritage Consultants

Complaints in relation to procurement activities may be made to us verbally or in writing.

Verbal Complaints

Verbal complaints can be referred to the contact officer nominated in the tender documents who will clarify or hold discussions with the complainant to try to resolve the issue. If from discussions the complainant is still not satisfied, the complainant is advised to put any concerns in writing to the Manager Corporate Procurement.

Written Complaints

Written complaints relating to procurement activities can be referred to:

Mr Luciano DiGirolamo
Manager Corporate Procurement
Main Roads Western Australia
P.O Box 6202
EAST PERTH WA 6892

Contact details:
Telephone: (08) 9323 5433
Email: Luciano.digirolamo@mainroads.wa.gov.au

The Manager Corporate Procurement will arrange for the complaint to be investigated and will provide a written response to the complainant on the outcome of the investigation.

If it appears that the complaint will not be resolved within ten (10) working days, the Manager Corporate Procurement will provide interim advice to the complainant on the estimated time frame for completing the investigation and providing a written response.

Handling Complaints

All complaints will be dealt with promptly and within an appropriate time according to the complexity of the issues.

Where necessary the complaints will be treated confidentially to ensure the commercial interests of tenderers and/or integrity of Main Roads employees involved in the process are not compromised.

In instances where a complainant is found to have frivolously or recklessly complained, action may be taken to recover any costs incurred by Main Roads as a result of such claims.

Unresolved Grievances Process

Should the complainant not be satisfied with the outcome of the investigation, as detailed in the response from the Manager Corporate Procurement, the complainant may formally request the Manager Corporate Procurement to refer the matter to the:

• Main Roads Tender Committee;
• If after referral to the Tenders Committee the matter is still unresolved, the complainant may formally request the Manager Corporate Procurement to refer the complaint to an Indepedent Probity Auditor to independently investigate the grievance; and
• If still dissatisfied, the complainant may formally request the Manager Corporate Procurement to refer the complaint to the Ombudsman.

A project bank account (PBA) is a bank account that operates under a trust for Main Roads construction contracts. Rather than monthly payments being made from Main Roads directly to the contractor’s regular account, monthly payments are paid into the PBA and funds are directed to the contractor’s regular account and participating subcontractors and suppliers in the supply chain at the same time.

PBAs are intended to:

• provide a degree of insolvency protection;
• speed up the payment process for parties lower down in the supply chain;  and
• increase transparency and accountability in the payment process.

This payment system applies to construction contracts where the tender sum is at or above $1.5 million (including GST), and the contractor will engage one or more subcontractors. The model only applies to first tier subcontractors, not second tier subcontractors.

How does this affect contracts?

• From 1 July 2019 new Main Roads contracts included the use of PBAs.
• Head contractors are required to:
  • Establish a PBA at the start of the contract.
  • Advise details of eligible subcontractors (contract value >$20,000 (inc. GST))
• Payment claims will include the progress claim for the Contractor, plus a breakdown of payments for subcontractors.

Example Special Conditions for first tier Subcontracts for Project Bank Accounts

New conditions are required to be included in first tier subcontracts for Project Bank Accounts. These conditions will need to refer to PBA payment process and include reference to subcontracts equal to or greater than $20,000 (GST inclusive) and the option of opt-in provisions for other subcontracts, and suppliers of goods and materials only. An example of these Special Conditions is provided for information.

PBA documents

Each contract type has its own unique set of documents that head contractors must use to establish the Project Bank Account for their contract. The ZIP files below include the relevant documents required for each contract type. 

• Minor Works - Zip file
• Construct Only (AS 2124) - Zip file
• Design and Construct - Zip file
• Alliance - Zip file
• C197.18 State-wide Road Construction Panel Contract – Zip file

Non-payment of subcontractors

Where a subcontractor has not been paid on time for work carried out on a construction project in Western Australia, there are a number of ways a contractual payment dispute can be resolved:

• Use the dispute resolution mechanism in your contract with the head contractor. Main Roads encourages subcontractors to initiate direct negotiations with the head contractor, as the first step to an amicable resolution.

• Obtain help from the Small Business Development Corporation to resolve the dispute through mediation. For info, visit the SBDC website on mediation or call 133 140 (WA based businesses only) or (08) 6552 3300.

• Lodge an adjudication claim under the Construction Contracts Act 2004 (WA). For more info, visit the Building Commission’s website or call 1300 489 099.

• Seek determination by the Magistrates Court for minor claims for debt or damages. Visit the Magistrates Court website or call 9425 2222.

• Seek help from subcontractors’ industry association.

Subcontractor’s responsibilities

Before entering into a contract with a head contractor, subcontractors must fully understand their obligations, risks, rights under the contract and the application of any overarching legislation. Subcontractors should, where necessary, seek their own legal advice on risks, such as payment delays, in their business affairs with a head contractor.

Subcontractors should ensure that they are satisfied with the financial stability of the head contractor, since in the event that a head contractor goes into receivership, administration or liquidation, the subcontractors may not receive payment for amounts they are owed.
