- Undercutting and backsloping as deemed necessary by the M.D., to a consistent and appropriate standard (typically 4:1);
- Any additional work generally considered necessary to rejuvenate and upgrade an existing road to a 9m wide driving surface with a proper, stable base capable of supporting heavy industrial traffic in a manner conducive to (with proper maintenance) indefinite life, including relevant ditch work.
Successful proposals will include the following:
