Estimated total value: 12 695 000 EUR 💰
Short description:

In addition, the Authority intends to establish a framework of service providers for the provision of Traffic and Transport Survey Resources by entering into a framework agreement (the Framework Agreement) with five Tenderers (subject to a sufficient number of suitably qualified candidates) who are ranked highest following assessment of the submitted Tenders for the M50 Cordon Contract.

The expected term of the M50 Cordon Contract will be until the Services in the Contract have been successfully completed.

The Authority has previously commissioned the generation of the M50 Cordon to identify the number of people travelling into the city from the M50 on a daily basis, and to supplement transport data that is already collected at other significant points in Dublin, such as the Canal Cordon. This data assists in gaining a wider insight into travel patterns in Dublin. The information generated at the proposed survey locations will also be used to support the ongoing development of the Eastern Regional Model (ERM), in which the main city is Dublin.

The services to be provided comprise the undertaking of traffic surveys at specified locations on the M50 Cordon. The Contract must be completed in its entirety and includes a combination of survey types.

The Contract requires Classified Junction Turning Counts (JTC), VO (Vehicle Occupancy), ATC (Automatic Traffic Counts) Pedestrian (JTC PED) and Bus Occupancy (BO) surveys.

More information is outlined in the Tender documents.

Estimated value excluding VAT: 12 695 000 EUR 💰
Duration: 36 months
Description of renewals:

The Contract shall continue in full force and until successful completion of the Services.

The expected term of the Framework Agreement will be an initial period of three (3) years. At the discretion of the Authority, the Framework Agreement may be renewed for a period of up to a further one (1) year.
