Provision of Speed Road Safety Services

Notice Description

The Council invites quotations from suitably qualified consultants to undertake surveys, design development, road safety assessments and the preparation of construction-ready documentation for proposed bus stop infrastructure improvements.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council has received capital funding from Transport Scotland to improve bus stop infrastructure and enhance the passenger experience, particularly in rural and underserved locations. Following discussions with Transport Scotland, it has been recognised that the existing bus stop arrangements at Loch Fyne Oysters and West Loch Tarbert require assessment and improvement to provide safer and more accessible facilities for public transport users. Transport Scotland has advised that, while a pragmatic approach may be adopted for rural locations that do not fully meet current Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standards, decisions on the suitability of each site must be supported by site-specific assessments, including site surveys and speed surveys. The proposed improvements include new bus stop facilities at Loch Fyne Oysters in both directions of travel, incorporating hardstanding areas, bus stop poles and flags, shelters and, where appropriate, bus lay-bys. At West Loch Tarbert, proposals include the provision of a marked bus stop and shelter on the Glasgow-bound carriageway. The appointed Consultant shall undertake all necessary investigations and design activities to develop preferred bus stop improvement proposals for both locations. Historical drawings will be provided for information only and should be treated as indicative; the Consultant shall satisfy themselves of all existing site conditions through appropriate surveys and site inspections.
