Waterford County Council - wetlands remediation project
The Works will be executed in three different locations within Waterford County - The compensatory wetlands site, the Castletown wetland site and the Ballygunnermore wetlands site.
The works at Castletown and Ballygunnermore will involve the excavation of construction and demolition waste and the remediation of the sites to a degree that will promote natural wetland rehabilitation.
The material excavated is to be recovered and the residual material disposed of at a facility with a waste licence and/or waste permit as appropriate. Any such facility must comply with the Planning & Development Act 2000 (as amended). Duly vouched demonstration that such appropriately licenced and /or permitted facilities are available for the recovery of material excavated from the Castletown and Ballygunnermore sites and the disposal of the residual material shall be a requirement of the Tender. No processing/recovery of material is to take place on either the Castletown wetland site or the Ballygunnermore wetlands site. It is the preference of the Employer that material that is recovered from the Castletown and Ballygunnermore sites is used as part of the Works on the compensatory wetlands site.
Duly vouched demonstration that the contractor has at his disposal vehicles with appropriate Waste Collection.
Permits for transport of excavated and processed material to and from the proposed facilities for disposal and recovery shall be a requirement of the Contract. The estimated total Quantity of material to be removed from the two sites is approx. 50 000 m3.
The works at the compensatory wetlands site shall involve the construction of a new sea embankment using appropriate material recovered from the Castletown and Ballygunnermore sites and/ or imported material.
The existing embankment is to have site investigation works carried out on it to be conducted by a Specialist in this area. Other works at the compensatory wetlands site may include the temporary stockpiling of some of this material after processing to the relevant specifications. No processing/recovery of material is to take place on the compensatory wetlands site.
It should be noted that there may be a restriction in the contract on the months that work is permitted on the compensatory wetlands site. For the months when work is restricted on the compensatory wetlands site, recovered material is to be stored as required for future use at a facility with the necessary planning permissions in place for such a storage activity and a waste licence and/or waste permit allowing such a storage activity as required. Duly vouched demonstration that a site with the necessary planning permissions in place and appropriate licence and/or permit as required is available for this storage activity shall be a requirement of the contract, should such a facility be required during the contract.
