## Summary

Somerset County Council is currently seeking bids for the tender titled "Mead Lane Bridge Demolition and Bank Stabilisation", which focuses on structural works in the construction industry. Located in the South West region of England, this tender is at the active stage and is open for submission until 23rd June 2017. The project entails the complete demolition of a dangerous bridge and associated bank stability works, with a project value of £30,000. The contract is set to commence on 17th July 2017 and conclude on 31st October 2017.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) skilled in construction and demolition works, particularly those with expertise in bridge construction and structural engineering. Companies capable of managing environmental considerations and landfill operations, as well as those experienced in soft engineering techniques for bank stabilisation, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could enhance business growth by establishing a foothold in public sector contracts within the area.

## Notice

The bridge is constructed of steel beams with a concrete deck, steel post and rail parapets with mesh infill as well as an extended stone wall parapet on the south east bank. The bridge sits on large stone abutments and wing walls. The age of the bridge is unknown. The western abutment has cracked, sunk and fallen back towards the bank. This has caused a loss of invert height. The bridge has been classed as dangerous and has been closed since 2009. Works include: * Applying for all necessary licences, * The full demolition and disposal of the bridge deck and handrails and the concrete debris on the riverbed, * The full demolition of the abutments, cleaning of the stone and delivery to the Wincanton storage facility and disposal of all other arisings, * Re-grading both banks, disposal of all arisings. * Designing and installing soft engineered bank stabilisation, * Re-grading and clearing the drainage channel to the southeast,
