SC24002 Road Asset Renewal Contract (RARC)
Notice Description
The Road Asset Renewal Contract (RARC) focuses on asset management and serves as the principal delivery method for planned road pavement renewal and reconstruction works across Kent. These works are required to effectively manage the Kent County Council's (KCC) pavement assets by replacing deteriorated areas which have reached the end of their useful life. Preservation works are also carried out to prolong the life of areas which are starting to deteriorate. These works are critical to KCC's effective asset management and maintenance of its road network, allowing KCC to provide long lasting road surfaces and structural repairs, reducing the growth of the Council's road maintenance backlog and preventing future potholes. The renewal schemes typically delivered via this contract range from small resurfacing schemes to large reconstruction works which completely replace the failed road structure and foundations. The scope of work at each site typically involves: * Cold milling of the top layers of the road structure * Repaving with an asphalt surface and/or binder course * Adjustments to covers and replacement of road markings and road studs as needed. For sites near traffic signals, there may be a need to replace the traffic loops. Anticipated working conditions include road closures and night-time operations, with defined time restrictions in place. The scope of work under this contract also includes some ad-hoc road reconstruction and other civils works, schemes, and projects. This contract is not be lotted. The contractor is required to deliver works across all districts in Kent.
Lot Information
Lot 1
This contract will ensure delivery of KCC's programmed renewal works. The scope of these works varies between each site but generally entails milling off the top layers of the road structure and repaving with a new asphalt surface. With deeper, more structural repairs carried out where needed. All sites typically include adjustments to drain covers and replacement of road markings and road studs where required. Sites approaching traffic signals may require the replacement of the traffic loops. Most sites will require road closures and night-time working with working restrictions in place with defined times. Alongside these routine works, occasional specialist works will be needed to respond to and repair unpredictable asset failures, such as road collapses. It may also include small to medium sized civils works, schemes, and projects. The programme consists of multiple sites. There are several phases of work throughout the contract period, with routine work carried out typically between January and November each year.
Renewal: The 120-month (10-year) total contract duration will be broken down as follows: - Initial Contract Term: 60-Months (5-years) expected start date of 01 April 2025 - Optional Contract Extension: This will be a maximum of 60-months (5-years). The Council expects that the optional extension(s) will be structured as 36 + 24 months (3 + 2 years). However, the Council reserves the right to opt for the extension in individual one-year increments, multiple single yearly periods, or as the entire 5-year duration.

"description": "Work will be called off from a Schedule of Rates (SORs) as required. Work is not guaranteed within the contract, which is why the awarded figure has been published with a lowest value of PS1. However, the expected annual value for this contract is in the region of PS20-25 million. The expected total contract value for this contract equates to PS200-250million. This is broken down as follows: - Initial Term (5 years, or 60 months) totalling PS100-125 million. - Optional Extension Term (up to 5 years, or 60 months) totalling PS100-125 million. To allow for any future increases in government or KCC funding, future inflation, and any other unexpected but in-scope spend, the total maximum awarded contract value is advertised as PS400million (PS400,000,000.00). The anticipated contract periods are as follows: - Initial term: 01 April 2025 - 31 March 2030. - Optional extension: 01 April 2030 - 31 March 2035.",
