These works are due to commence in Spring 2017, for a period of approximately 6 months. The Main Contractor will be procured through a competitive tender procedure, in accordance with the restricted procedure as stated in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Project Details The Forth Road Bridge spans the Firth of Forth and carries the A90 Trunk Road between Fife and Lothian. The bridge consists of two approach viaducts and a suspension bridge which forms the main section of the structure. The bridge carries two 7.3m wide carriageways and two 4.6m wide footway/cycleways. The bridge deck is supported by transverse cross girders which in turn span onto a longitudinal stiffening truss, this is connected to the tower via the truss end links which are pinned to the bottom chord of the stiffening truss and to the tower where it is connected through two steel cantilever brackets which protrude through the tower. As the truss end links or Pendle bearings are pinned at each end this allows longitudinal articulation of the stiffening truss. The Phase 3 strengthening project consist of the installation of a sliding bearing at the bottom of the longitudinal stiffening truss beneath the end post. This bearing is supported on a new steel cantilever bracket, which requires concrete strengthening within the tower. The bridge operating company, Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland are currently undertaking advanced buildability trials for the phase 3 works, economic operators are invited to attend site visits throughout the buildability site trial phase. A contractor is sought to replace the remaining seven truss end links with the new sliding bearing arrangement. The principle elements of the works will comprise:-The fabrication and installation of the permanent Phase 3 solution at the NW Main Span, SE Main Span and SW Main span-Alterations and relocation of the Phase 2 repairs at the NW Main Span, SE Main Span and SW Main span to their respective side spans.- The fabrication and installation of the permanent Phase 3 solution at the NE Side Span, NW Side Span, SE side Span and SW side span Internal strengthening is required in the tower to support the new bearing support bracket, made up of reinforced concrete inside the outer cell bolted through the tower using MacAlloy bars. Following the internal strengthening and the load transfer on to the new bearing and bracket, the Phase 2 repairs can be removed and relocated to the side span locations to allow the Phase 3 repairs to be carried out. There will be temporary access required to allow for modifications to the tower to accommodate the works, the installation of the steel reinforcement within the tower, the concrete pour into the tower cell, the removal/reinstallation of the phase 2 works and the installation of the permanent access stairs and platforms.It is proposed that the materials will be delivered to site via barge and lifted into place using a winch on the top chord or existing bracket. The concrete will be pumped from the carriageway under an overnight night carriageway closure using a contraflow traffic management system on the bridge. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland). Regulations 2015.
