## What to bring / know before walking in

### RFI 36 status (TOP PRIORITY)
RFI 36 is the TfNSW dayworks instruction signed by Zaki Mirza (TfNSW) on 13-Feb-2026. **Mack Civil contractor acceptance is still NOT signed.** This is the #1 blocker — LFCS should not commit fixed-price labour/materials until it's signed.

**Ask:** "Has the RFI 36 contractor acceptance page been signed yet? Page 5."

### AfC drawings
Accepted-for-Construction drawings have NOT been issued. LFCS is working from R0220 standard drawings + RFI 36 proposal sketch. Any deviation in AfC drawings from those = variation.

**Ask:** "Have AfC drawings been issued? When?"

### DN900 RCP pre-mark
The existing DN900 RCP runs through the pit footprint. LFCS needs Mack Civil Site Supervisor to pre-mark the pipe location before excavation. This is a pre-condition to LFCS commencing.

**Ask:** "Who pre-marks the DN900 before we excavate?"

### Daywork docket signing
Every shift needs a signed docket from both Mack Civil Site Supervisor + TfNSW Site Officer. Unsigned = unpaid.

**Ask:** "Confirm the signing process — end of each shift, both signatures?"

### Questions for superintendent

1. **RFI 36 acceptance** — is it signed now?
2. **AfC drawings** — issued or pending? Expected date?
3. **Scope confirmation** — FRP-install-only ($43k LFCS scope) or full form/rebar/pour ($107k Hasibul scope)?
4. **Crew size preference** — our $43k uses 2 lads on pour/strip. If programme needs 4 lads × 4 days strip, price goes up.
5. **Crossing loading mechanism** — 4 × $2,120 callback events (Hasibul) vs Rate Card V1.7 8hr day-rate formula ($9,080). Which does Mack prefer?
6. **PQP (Project Quality Plan)** — who provides TfNSW R11 + R53 specs before mob?
7. **Concrete mix NATA register** — is the N25 mix on TfNSW's registered list? If not, 5-day delay (Mack's problem as concrete supplier).
8. **Confined space** — pit depth ≤1.5m assumed. Check AfC — if >1.5m, AS 2865 requires standby person + atmospheric monitoring (+$5–10K).
9. **Pre-mark DN900** — who's responsible for this before LFCS excavates?

## Hasibul's parallel bid ($107,139 ex GST)

Rocky has access to Hasibul's full-scope BOQ. Key comparison:

| | Hasibul ($107k) | LFCS rev6 ($43k) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Full form + reinforce + pour | FRP-install only |
| Labour hours | 664 hrs | 172 hrs |
| Night shift crossing | 4 events × $2,120 | Rate Card formula $9,080 |
| Formwork materials | $4,499 full supply | $2,850 ply only |
| Margin | None stated | 15% redundancy |

If Mack wants full FRP scope, the delta between $43k and $107k needs to be resolved. Hasibul's W8 strip alone (4 lads × 4 days = 160 hrs = $22,400) is the biggest single line item — confirm against shift programme.
