Description of the procurement
Dublin City Council is seeking to establish a Multi-Party Framework Agreement for Integrated Design Teams for the Design and Contract Administration of Road and Public Realm Schemes (2022-2026). The framework agreement will be established with the following services:
(a) Consultant Engineering Services (Design Team Lead);
(b) Urban Planning & Landscape Architectural Services; and,
(c) PSDP.
Schemes will generally fall into the following two categories:
• Public Realm Improvement Schemes involving Multidisciplinary Urban Design; and,
• Road Improvement Scheme involving the provision of cycling infrastructure.
These schemes will have a strong emphasis on urban design and the provision of cycling infrastructure and may also include the design of structures such as bridges, culverts and retaining walls.
Dublin City Council is establishing this Multi-Party Framework Agreement to enable the engagement of Integrated Design Teams for the Design and Contract Administration of Road and Public Realm Schemes in line with the Standard Conditions of Engagement for Consultancy Services (Technical) Stages (i) to (v).
The Multi-Party Framework will be available to the following contracting authorities: Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
A maximum of twelve (12) Applicants will be shortlisted at Stage 1 Expressions of Interest and the Framework will be established with a maximum of ten (10) service providers, subject to the receipt of a sufficient number of valid tenders at Stage 2 Qualitative Selection. Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium) will be considered. Therefore, applications relating to one or several of these services only are not acceptable and will be rejected.
The Design Team Lead (Consultant Engineer) will be the single point of contractual responsibility, with the remaining disciplines providing collateral warranties for the benefit of the Contracting Authority.
The Contracting Authorities expect to call for mini-tenders with an estimated total Framework value of €10,000,000 (ex. VAT) over a 4 year period.
