    [TotalQuantityScope]:

    RPA intends to procure a company to undertake the planning and execution of Passenger Surveys. These surveys will include:

    A. Fare Evasion Surveys,

    B. Park and Ride Evasion Surveys,

    C. An Annual Luas Census,

    D. and other passenger surveys.

    The Fare Evasion Surveys will determine the level of fare evasion on the Luas system and to calculate the amount of revenue being lost through ticketless travel and passengers travelling with invalid tickets. Each Fare Evasion Survey will be carried out over a period of no more than 13 weeks so that a minimum of four Fare Evasion Surveys will be carried out each calendar year. Each Fare Evasion Survey shall consist of a number of sampling periods lasting approximately 3 to 4 hours. The Fare Evasion Surveys will take place on board trams by means of face-to-face interviews with a randomly selected sample of passengers.

    The Park and Ride Evasion Surveys will determine the level of Park and Ride evasion at the Park and Ride Sites. Each Park and Ride Evasion Survey shall be carried out over a period of no more than 13 weeks so that a minimum of four Park and Ride evasion surveys shall be carried out each calendar year. Each Park and Ride evasion survey shall consist of a number of sampling periods lasting approximately 6 to 8 hours. Each Park and Ride Site shall be surveyed at least four times during each Park and Ride Evasion Survey.

    Since the commencement of Luas operations in 2004 RPA have undertaken full counts of Luas passengers each November. This count is called the Annual Luas Census. The counts are undertaken on a Thursday, a Saturday and a Sunday in November each year for valid comparison of annual trends. The surveys will be carried out in sufficient detail to allow full understanding of all boarding, alighting, utilisation and capacity provision and be comparable to previous surveys. The survey will also inform the annual cordon count requirement of the National Transport Authority.

    RPA may request the execution of additional passenger surveys from time to time. These may include; origin/ destination surveys, tram loading/ utilisation surveys and other passenger surveys.

    The services will include the analysis of survey & sales data and the presentation of statistically valid results. The duration of this contract is for an initial term of five (5) years with an option for the Client, at its sole discretion, to extend the term for a further period of up to five (5) additional years.

Candidates are advised that RPA is subject to the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003. Any contract award will be subject to the production of a current tax clearance certificate from the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland or, for a non-resident, a statement from the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland confirming suitability on tax grounds. Where a candidate is a consortium, each member may be required to contract on the basis of joint and several liability.
