    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Contracting Authority is seeking to establish a multi-party framework

    agreement for integrated design team services for the remediation of two landfill

    sites, namely Pollboy Landfill, Ballinasloe and the East Galway Landfill, with the

    backup of a multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy team for the licence

    reporting and monitoring of the landfill sites. The framework agreement will be

    established comprising the following disciplines: (a) Civil & Structural Engineering

    Services, (b) Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Services, (c) Geotechnical

    Engineering Services, (d) Hydrogeology Services, (e) Environmental Monitoring

    Services, (f) Landscape Architect, (g) Quantity Surveyor and (h) Project

    Supervisor for the Design Process.

    Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above

    without exception (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium) will be

    considered. Therefore, applications relating to one or several of these disciplines

    only are not acceptable and will be rejected outright.

    The Integrated Design Team will be responsible for providing all construction-

    related technical advice and design services for the initial contract and under the

    framework agreement.

    The maximum estimated value of services over the lifetime of the framework is

    anticipated to be in the region of €500,000 - €1,500,000 (ex.VAT)

    INITIAL CONTRACT:

    The framework agreement will be established on foot of an initial contract for the design, implementation and supervision of the remediation of the East Galway Landfill (also known as Connaught Regional Residual Landfill). The initial contract will also include waste licence support (incl. reporting, surveying, monitoring and co-ordination of services related to licence compliance) and technical support (incl. technical advice on operational matters).

    Nine cells have been constructed at the facility and Cells 1 to 7 have been filled with approx 820,000 tonnes of waste. Cells 1 to 7 have been capped with temporary geocomposite capping material and a section of Cell 1 has been permanently capped. Cells 8 & 9 have been substantially constructed but no waste has been placed in these cells.

    The estimated duration of the initial contract will be 48 months. It must be noted that it will not be continuous as the capping works will be seasonal in nature.
