Limerick City water conservation project - watermains rehabilitation - works packages 1 & 2

Limerick City Council

As part of their water conservation project, Limerick City Council is implementing the rehabilitation of mains in the network that are not suitably responsive to active leakage control measures. Rehabilitation works will be carried out under discrete works packages.
Limerick City Council seeks expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced Contractors in relation to their Watermains rehabilitation works package 1 and works package 2.
Works package 1 and works package 2 will be completed as separate contracts, and accordingly applicants will be shortlisted separately for both contracts under this competition. Applicants may wish to be considered for works package 1 only, works package 2 only, or both and must clearly state their preference in their application. Where applicants do not state a preference they will be considered for both.
Limerick City Council intends to invite tenders from shortlisted applicants for works package 1 immediately following shortlisting.
Applicants shall be aware that, dependent on funding, Limerick City Council may decide not to invite tenders from shortlisted applicants for works package 2. This decision shall be at the sole discretion of Limerick City Council.
