The Council will have completed the Detailed Design for the majority of the crossing with the exception being the MIECA. The mechanical design element will be completed to Detailed Design but the electrical and hydraulics for the bascule will be completed to Scheme Design. The successful contractor will be responsible for completing the Detailed Design of these elements.
