Overview

The Ministry of Education requires a Lead Designer to provide design services for the Master Planning design stage, for a Major Redevelopment project at Taita College.

Taita College is a decile 2, co-educational secondary school located within a semi-industrial area of Lower Hutt, Wellington.

A statutory intervention at Taita College in 2017 led to a change of leadership at the college with a new principal and new board. A review of school property revealed that the school buildings were in much worse condition than reported during the completion of the 2014 10 Year Property Plan. The school has experienced a history of underinvestment and a declining roll. At present the school is 63% utilised, though Network have forecasted a roll increase due to more popular schools for students in the area enforcing enrolment schemes and therefore recommended a masterplan roll of 550 students. Funding for a major redevelopment was approved by the Minister of Education in May 2020.

Initial due diligence reports have been undertaken which emphasise the requirement to take a holistic approach to the school site. Therefore further investigation is to be undertaken by a master planner to create at least 3 master planning options, with a preferred option to be approved by the design assurance team. Once approved, a business case is to be developed based on this option.

The demographics of the school roll are made up of 50% Maori and 35% Pasifika and a community marae, Te Whakauruhau, is situated within the school grounds. Taita College is a member of the Taita-Stokes Valley Kahui Ako and it also works collaboratively with the neighbouring Naenae Kahui Ako. The design and project processes of the redevelopment project are to have a strong cultural emphasis, be sustainable, detract from the western side industrial area, utilise established trees and focus on the native bush towards the east.

The Master Plan will provide options to inform the business case. Business case approval is required, for the project to proceed beyond the Master Plan Design stage. The Ministry’s standardised scope of services will apply for the project. These have been attached as supporting documents to this RFP.

If you have any questions, please direct these through the GETS Q&A function. A site visit has been scheduled for 26 January 2021. Please confirm attendance by registering via the GETS Q&A function. A draft CCCS contract will be released via NTT.
