CCE5631/BOH - Framework Agreement for River Bridge and Channel Surveys for CCE Structures.

Iarnród Éireann has over 350 bridges (structures greater than 2m) over water. All these bridges and riverbeds require periodic inspections. Some inspections are carried out yearly, other are every 3 years and more are on a 6 yearly cycle. Iarnród Éireann is looking to appoint specialist expertise to undertake inspection of railway bridges as well as carry out bridge and river surveys. The consultant is to provide expertise in the following areas: 1. Provide divers/surveyors for a bridge and riverbed inspections/surveys 2. Record the topography using surveying techniques 3. Using the previous base line surveys (supplied by IE) identify changes in the structure and/or the river channel. 4. Provide factual report on findings. 5. Provide for Engineers review of the factual report. The framework is also to include for inspection of any structure following a flood event. In the period after a flood event structures throughout the IE network may need to be inspected to determine the extent, if any, of damage caused by the event. The availability of divers will form part of the evaluation. The divers/ surveyors are to be trained for Personnel Track Safety (PTS) on the awarding of any contract. The cost of this will be included in any tenders. The successful Contractor will be required to supply appropriately qualified personnel. The proposed framework will be valid for a three year period, with a view to extending this for a further year.
