This competitive quotation tender, classified under the services category, has a minimum value of £101,000 and a total estimated value of £150,000. The tender is currently active with the submission deadline set for 5th March 2020, and the contract period expected to run from 28th August 2020 to 27th December 2024. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in traffic signalling and control systems. Firms that possess expertise in the installation of signalling equipment, particularly those that can comply with environmental sensitivities, are well-positioned to compete. This project not only requires technical capabilities but also an understanding of local transportation dynamics, making it suitable for businesses engaged in civil engineering, urban planning, and environmental consulting. ## Notice Design Considerations Location Creighton/Greatmoor Road is an existing private access road to the FCC Energy from Waste (EfW) plant from the A41, as indicated on the location plan below. Traffic flows The objective of the traffic signalling system design/installation is to control HGV vehicles using Creighton/Greatmoor Road so that the capacity can be increased to accommodate an EK requirement of an additional 100no. HS2 HGV's per day (peak) over the FCC HGV planning limit (600no. per day) - see traffic modelling reports referenced in item 1.1. In addition, there is a requirement to accommodate a relatively small volume of FCC/EK LGV vehicles that will be accessing the site offices at the north end of this section of road (50no. vehicles/day arriving between 7 and 9am and leaving between 4 and 6pm). Site Constraints The site is an historic railway embankment that was converted to an access road for the FCC Energy from Waste (EfW) site in 2014. The width restriction was applied to preserve the hedges/vegetation eg. Hawthorn growing along the sides of the corridor as it forms an important habitat for bats and Black Hairstreak butterflies. Therefore, the design of the traffic signalling system must be sympathetic to the location by limiting groundworks or de-vegetation. From the traffic modelling reports it is not envisaged that there is a requirement to extend or provide additional passing bays and that any site works will be limited to the installation of the traffic signalling system. It will not be possible to close the road to FCC deliveries, however if absolutely necessary it should be possible by prior agreement with FCC to do installation work at the weekend when they are not operating. This area is included in the Bernwood Bat licence area and so to be sympathetic to the environment dawn and dusk working for the installation of this equipment should be avoided where possible. Monitoring and External reporting In developing the traffic signalling scheme, provision will need to be made for the following items to be monitored: - Monitoring vehicles passing Red signals - Monitoring back-up and waiting times of vehicles at South end towards A41 - Monitoring journey times for vehicles travelling through the traffic signal-controlled corridor - Monitoring failure of equipment - Self-reporting of failures in equipment/operation to the EK Logistics team (if it is reporting to logistics or some sort of automatic signage on the A41, it is important that there is a mechanism to stop vehicles accessing off of the A41 if there is already a problem. This may not be possible, and it may be a procedure/briefing to drivers not to enter the access road if it has backed up to the A41, because we cannot afford to block traffic there with vehicles queueing). Design life The design standards may dictate a minimum design life to be c Additional information: N/A ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa38fee4-5316-4c1f-a129-bc4e49e5ef71 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 5 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Aug 2020 - 27 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 | EIFFAGE KIER JV HS2 MAIN CIVILS WORKS, LOTS C2 & C3 | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B3 2DT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 31518000 - Signalling lights - 31620000 - Sound or visual signalling apparatus - 34942000 - Signalling equipment - 34970000 - Traffic-monitoring equipment - 34990000 - Control, safety, signalling and light equipment ## Release History - 21 Feb 2020 at 08:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa38fee4-5316-4c1f-a129-bc4e49e5ef71 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa38fee4-5316-4c1f-a129-bc4e49e5ef71 21st February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.competefor.com/business/viewOpportunityDetailsSupplier.html?id=47989983 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
