Establishment of a single-party framework agreement for integrated design team services for the Pearse's Cottage Interpretive Centre Project
Udaras Na Gaeltachta
The Contracting Authority is seeking to establish a single-party framework agreement for integrated design team services for the Pearse's Cottage Interpretive Centre Project at Pearse's Cottage in Inbhear, Rosmuc, Connemara, Co. Galway.
The framework agreement will be established with a single economic operator comprising the following disciplines:
(a) Architectural Services (incl. design team lead) and associated specialist skills (see Suitability Assessment Questionnaire),
(b) Civil and Structural Engineering Services and associated specialist skills, and
(c) Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Services.
Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above (whether as a single economic operator (possibly with sub-consultants) or as a grouping/consortium) will be considered. Therefore, applications relating to one or several of these disciplines only are not acceptable and will be rejected.
The Integrated Design Team will be responsible for providing all construction-related technical advice and design services to the Contracting Authority in respect of the Pearse's Cottage Interpretive Centre Project. It is intended that the interpretive centre will showcase the link between Padraig Pearse and Connemara as well as serving as a heritage tourism focal point for the West. The site is located next to a special area of conservation (SAC). Further information on the Project is included in the Information Pack attached to this Notice.
The framework will be established for a period of 4 years. For the avoidance of doubt, the period for delivery of any contracts awarded under the framework may extend beyond the date of expiry of the framework agreement.
The framework will be established on foot of an initial contract for the preliminary design, detailed design and planning application, procurement of works contractor, works supervision (but not as Employer's Representative) and handover of work stages of the Pearse's Cottage Interpretive Centre Project. The estimated duration of the initial contract will be 2 years.
The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2014-07-04. The procurement was published on 2014-06-19.
