Auckland Council on behalf of Auckland Transport is responsible for edging and weed control on hard surfaces in the road corridors and town centres. The scope of the services is for edging and weed control on hard surfaces within the urban road corridor include four (4) management areas (Tahi, Toru, Wha, Rima), and excludes Rua management areas (local boards Albert-Eden, Puketapapa, Whau) and the islands (Waiheke and Aotea-Great Barrier) . The length of the road corridor is approximately 4,164 kms and the area of town centre plazas and carparks is approximately 485,000m2 (refer Schedule 7). The edging and weed control are currently included in Auckland Council's streetscape contracts. If this procurement process is successful, the scope of works will be varied out of the existing streetscape contract. The weed control methodologies adopted across different local boards are not uniform and reflect the continuation of the legacy council weed management practice.
