Engineering Consultancy Services for "Culvert Improvement Upgrade Works – Screen Upgrade Works" Project

Dublin City Council (DCC) wishes to procure a Consultant (CS) to carry out an assessment as to whether the existing culvert screens in Dublin City are functioning effectively, can be safely maintained by DCC staff and are fit for purpose (ie preventing blockage of the culvert entrance, preventing unauthorised entrance to the culvert barrel, or both). The CS shall produce an options report giving an assessment of each of 23 locations; and recommendations for installation of new screens and removal or replacement of existing screens that are not fit for purpose. Following on from the recommendations given in the report, the CS will liaise with the CA to determine the most appropriate option for each location. The CS will subsequently carry out detailed design of new screens for locations where they are required. The new screen designs shall adhere to current guidance and best practice. Hydraulic efficiency and resistance to blinding and blockage of the screens will be a priority of the new designs. Safe access and egress, including the installation of hard standing areas for maintenance vehicles and any steps, ladders or edge protection as is required, must also be provided to allow crews to safely gain access to screens. Upon completion of the detailed design, the CS shall prepare contract documents and undertake the procurement of a works contractor to construct the new screens, taking account of any environmental aspects thereof and tender assessment. Once a contractor has been appointed by the CA, the CS shall manage and supervise the contractor’s performance and carry out all contract administration in accordance with the contract. The CS shall take on the duties of Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) for the Project.
