Description of the procurement
Dublin City Council invites tenders from suitably qualified Works Contractors to carry out the Operation and Maintenance of movable bridges in Dublin City. Dublin City Council has a number of movable bridges in its charge with varying types of construction (such as swing, bascule) and materials (such as cable stayed, steel, reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete). Although the bridge ages vary they all span the various waterways around the city and are key infrastructural assets that require an active management system to prevent loss of service. Currently, the Operations & Maintenance of the bridges is carried out through a variety of separate Contracts that includes mechanical, electrical control systems and civils components. Bridge operations (opening/closing) to accommodate occasional ship traffic to the section of river upstream of the bridges are carried out as required and requested by Dublin Port.
Dublin City Council (the Contracting Authority) wishes to establish a four year multi-party framework agreement with up to five economic operators (subject to the quality and number of applications received) for bridge operations and maintenance works of movable bridges in Dublin City. The framework will be established on foot of an initial five year contract for the Operation and Maintenance of the Samuel Beckett Bridge.
Dublin City Council’s proposed procurement strategy in respect of future operation and maintenance requirements for the Samuel Beckett Bridge includes for the provision of two separate contracts of a five year duration and both running in parallel with each other, as follows:
• Main Operation and Maintenance Contract (covered by this RFT) – covers the majority of operation and maintenance requirements except maintenance relating to the control system software.
• Control System Software Contract (not covered by this RFT) – covers maintenance of the bespoke control system software developed for the bridge and support during openings and operation of the bridge.
