TII363_Procurement of new Light Rail Vehicles and all associated Supplies and Services

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII)

This is a call to competition by TII for the establishment of a contract to fulfil the requirements for the supply of new LRVs and all associated goods and services along with the option of sustainable decommissioning of life expired LRVs. This contract will be used to replace end-of-life LRVs, supply new LRVs for network expansions, supply additional LRVs to meet increasing demand on existing lines, and procure new LRVs for future new Irish light rail networks. For specific future Irish LRV projects, the LRVs may be circa 30m, 40m or 50m long and must be extendable from circa 30m to 40m in length or from circa 40m to 50m in length. Catenary free trams may also be required for some batches. Note, the scope shall including the possibility of decommission of existing trams. In Dublin, the LRVs must be compatible with the existing infrastructure in place on the Luas network currently. LRVs procured for operation on the Dublin Red Line must not exceed 43.5m in length and be extendable to a length not greater that 55m in length. For LRVs procured for the Dublin Green line, the LRVs must not exceed 55m in length. All LRVs must be 100 percent low floor, bi directional with a body width of 2400mm, operate on the 1435mm track gauge and be compatible with the 750 VDC catenary system. Term and Value of Contract: This contract is intended to cover all future LRV projects initiated in the 15 years from date of the publication of the associated contract award notice. While it is not possible to give a definitive estimate of the value, an order of magnitude estimate is calculated to to be in the region of €500 million for supplies and services that could foreseeably arise under the contract. However for the avoidance of doubt, there is no commitment to any value and as all orders will be on a drawdown basis. The contract value has a maximum not to exceed value of €1 billion except in circumstance where conditions under Article 89 of Utilities Regulations occur. In relation to the figure quoted in 2.1.3 of the notice this is an estimate for the initial orders that may arise from this contract.
