The Operation of Public Bus Passenger Services on Waterford City Routes

The Authority is seeking an operator in respect of a number of public bus routes. It is intended that the services will comprise a total of 5 routes, the envisaged composition of which is set out in Appendix A to the Information Memorandum. The scope of the services to be provided may be amended. The Authority reserves the right to add or omit routes from the scope of the contract. The routes serve locations in Waterford city. The Routes are currently serviced by a peak vehicle requirement of approximately 9 urban type buses (primarily single deck), and provide approximately 1 million passenger journeys per annum. The envisaged 5 year operational period may be extended by the Authority for a period or periods up to a further 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance. The Authority intends that there will be a mobilisation period from the date of contract signing until the commencement date for the operational period. It is currently envisaged that the duration of this mobilisation period will be at least 6 months, although the contract may involve phased operational dates (staggered by up to 6 months) by reference to different routes or groups of routes. Further information is set out in the Information Memorandum .Please note that this contract was previously the subject of OJEU Notice 2015/S 018-029616 published on 22nd January 2015. Pre-qualification submissions were received in response to that OJEU Notice but were not evaluated. Due to the omission of route 360/360a serving the town of Tramore, the Authority has decided to re-advertise this opportunity. Further detail is set out in the Information Memorandum.
