The procurement is classified under the CPV code for kerbstones and has a total budget of £2,500,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2019 and is anticipated to last until 31st March 2020. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an open invitation to tender process expected to begin on 1st October 2018. Interested contractors are encouraged to participate in an information event to familiarise themselves with local conditions and operational constraints. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering, construction, and subcontracting services, particularly those experienced in bridge works and waterproofing solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on durable and cost-effective solutions. By engaging with this project, contractors can not only contribute to the infrastructure of the South West but also expand their portfolio through collaboration with Cornwall Council, thereby fostering potential long-term business relationships. ## Notice With the aim being to undertake work during the Spring of 2019, this preferred start date is intended to allow forall kerb fixings and corrosion remedial works to be completed ahead of separate resurfacing work planned for 2020/21. Following close monitoring of the existing 7200 Kerb Units ( 4 studs per kerb unit) and the associate Deck Waterproofing System over recent years, since their initial installation, as part of the strengthening and widening scheme around the turn of the century, and following the identification of serious deterioration, a number of technical solutions were developed and tested and the preferred solution going forward is described as follows with the main activities anticipated being: Remove and retain existing kerb units for re-use; Remove existing mild steel holding down studs, clean and shot blast bridge deck to remove corrosion; Undertake Plate testing (MPI) and, if necessary, undertake Weld repairs; Weld new stainless steel holding down studs to the prepared bridge deck; Undertake Weld Test; Prime and waterproof the bridge deck with a high performance waterproofing system; Reinstate kerb units and fix down using new stainless steel fixings; Make good to all Drainage connections, with all of these aforementioned activities requiring strict associated Traffic Management control. It is anticipated that the work may last for a duration of up to 12 months, from the proposed contract commencement date of 01/04/19. Interested Contractors are invited to request a copy of the trial documentation for information, via the Portal, as this is likely to be of assistance in helping them to determine if they can offer the same or a similarly durable and cost effective solution and encourage a tendered submission in due course. However, no information taken or implied from this trial report and the supporting information documents shall necessarily be deemed acceptable for incorporation in the proposed works and the Council reserves the right to impose contractual terms and specifications that may not be satisfied by these means. It is anticipated the form of Contract will be NEC Option A, with an associated Activity Schedule. The Procurement process is expected to be an Open Invitation to Tender exercise and, within the duration of that process, prospective bidders will be invited to attend an appropriately scheduled Contractor Information Event, at the Bridge, to help familiarize themselves with local conditions, any potential operational constraints and ask any questions of the Bridge Engineering Manager and his Technical Support colleagues.
