Service Concession contract for the design, build, finance, operate and transfer of a new fuel farm facility of 3 x 5 000 m³ and associated facilities at Dublin Airport

Dublin Airport Authority plc ( DAA )

This non mandatory, voluntary Contract Notice is being published for the sole purpose of informing potential candidates of the proposed tender for the design, build, finance operate and transfer of a new fuel farm facility of 3 x 5 000 m³ and associated facilities at Dublin Airport.
The project involves:
— the operation of the existing Fuel Farm which has 3 x 800 m³ storage tanks, a fuel receipt facility and 2 into-plane units, for a transition period pending the construction of the new facility;
— the construction and installation of 3 x 5 000 m³ new tanks which will provide the redeveloped Fuel Farm with a capacity of 15 000 m³ and associated facilities;
— the decommissioning of the existing 3 tanks and conversion of some or all of these tanks for on-site fire-fighting usage;
— the reconfiguration of the Fuel Farm on the same site;
— the construction of a new Into Plane Facility at a new airside location;
— the installation of buried pipelines from the Fuel Farm to the airside Into Plane Facility;
— the installation of buried pipelines from the Into Plane Facility to the fuel hydrant system already constructed around Pier 400 (Pier E);
— commissioning of the whole in phases, including the fuel hydrant system around Pier 400 (Pier E).
The concessionaire will be obliged to meet the best international practice standards in relation to fuel storage and supply to address matters such as testing, certification, audit and contamination avoidance.
DAA has current planning permission to facilitate the development of the new Fuel Farm. In addition it is intended that the successful tenderer may be required to undertake future infrastructure works over the term of the concession. These may include construction of hydrants to serve other piers and locations at Dublin Airport, commissioning of these new fuel hydrants, works required to link the Fuel Farm with the proposed fuel pipeline from Dublin Port if and when constructed; and works on other projects to enhance the efficiency of fuel distribution at Dublin Airport. Dublin Airport's operations team will decide what is required to facilitate future growth at Dublin Airport. Some or all of these works may require regulatory approvals and the concessionaire may either be responsible for delivering such approvals or to cooperate with DAA in relation to the delivery of such approvals.
For the purpose of performing the obligations pursuant to the project, DAA intends to provide the concessionaire with a licence to the site at Dublin Airport. This licence will subsist solely for the purposes of performing the project and it is not expected to grant any interest in the site to the concessionaire.
At the end of the concession period (anticipated to be a minimum of twenty years but may be subject to extension) it is expected that the concessionaire will transfer the facility back to DAA or to a third party nominated by DAA at that time.
DAA intends to adopt a two stage tender process. The first stage will be an assessment of the experience and capability of entities to design, build, finance and operate these facilities both by reference to minimum requirements and a qualitative assessment of experience. Suitably qualified and shortlisted entities will then be invited to tender. DAA intends to engage with bidders in order to develop proposals which meet with DAA's requirements.
As this is a service concession contract, this competition is not subject to EC(Award of Contracts by Utility Regulations) 2007 nor EC(Award of Contracts by Utility Undertakings) Regulations 2010. However, DAA shall be observing the principles of transparency, equal treatment, non discrimination and proportionality.
Further detail shall be set out in the Request for Information which will be made available to interested parties shortly and in the Request for Tender to be made available to shortlisted entities.

Contract execution
Main financing conditions and payment arrangements and/or reference to the relevant provisions governing them:
It is anticipated that it will be the responsibility of the concessionaire to finance the design and construction of the new fuel farm facility and the operating costs of operating and maintaining the new facility. There shall be no recourse to DAA for these costs and it is not anticipated that DAA will make any construction payments to the concessionaire either during the course of or on completion of construction of the new Fuel Farm. DAA estimates the indicative capital cost for the development of the new Fuel Farm will be in the region of EUR 25 000 000 (twenty five million Euro). This is indicative only. As mentioned above it will be the responsibility of the concessionaire to finance the cost of the development of the Fuel Farm. In this respect it should be noted that DAA does not intend to permit the granting of any security over the site on which the Fuel Farm is developed.
Show more
It is anticipated that the cost of the development of the new Fuel Farm and for the operation of the facility shall be met via a throughput charge applied by the concessionaire, once the new facility is operational, based on the volumes of fuel stored and supplied via the Fuel Farm. The concessionaire will take such volume risk. It shall be a condition to the appointment of the Fuel Farm operator that it has contracts in place which ensure that fuel supply at all points in the supply chain (from arrival of supply at Dublin Airport to refuelling of aircraft). The Fuel Farm operator shall also be required to have in place or access to (e.g. through the Tarbox regime) sufficient levels of insurance cover against incidents throughout the supply chain.

It is anticipated that the concession period will be a minimum of 20 years but may include options to extend that period further.
