The A4173 / A46 Pitchcombe junction has been under review for a number of years and has had various improvement measures implemented. However, the junction layout can be quite confusing to users and makes certain manoeuvres very difficult even for local residents. The topography and carriageway alignments restrict the available forward visibility and with high volumes of vehicles (12,500 over a 12 Hour period) the junction has been a concern to local resident's and commuters alike. The proposed scheme will be to provide a simplified and recognisable junction layout, with a dedicated right-turn lane for traffic on the A46 wanting to access the A4173 safely. Visibility will be improved for users exiting the A4173 and Halfway Pitch junctions (from Pitchcombe village) by re-aligning and raising the A46, along with the construction of a new 2m high retaining wall. The design intends to reduce vehicle speeds by means of kerbed refuges and narrower running lanes. It will provide improved pedestrian access to the existing 2no. bus stops, including the provision of a new bus shelter. Other improvements include resurfacing of the site, providing improved street lighting and road signage. Tender period: 28th June 2019 to 26th July 2019 Anticipated Works Start Date: 9th September 2019 Completion: 20th December Overall Duration: 16 weeks Indicative Value: PS500,000 The procurement route will be a single stage (sub-OJEU Open Procedure) using the NEC4 ECC form of Contract, Option A Priced Contract with Activity Schedule. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1200e161-9a89-476b-ab95-91df7915dd17 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 7 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Aug 2019 - 21 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL1 2TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Westgate | | Westminster constituency | Gloucester | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads - 45233100 - Construction work for highways, roads ## Release History - 18 Jul 2019 at 14:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1200e161-9a89-476b-ab95-91df7915dd17 - 28 Jun 2019 at 17:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84bfa36f-e4b4-4470-b38e-fbb86b9c158f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1200e161-9a89-476b-ab95-91df7915dd17 18th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84bfa36f-e4b4-4470-b38e-fbb86b9c158f 28th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
