The core objective of the Services is the provision of two Active Travel Design Offices providing design services to assist in the delivery of Active Travel projects, predominately in DCC area, and across the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, South Dublin, and Fingal when the project is being delivered by DCC.
It is intended that the two Active Travel Design Offices will be based in DCC’s offices with the DCC Active Travel Programme Office team in Dublin’s City Centre. Each Active Travel Design Office will comprise of several personnel provided by the Service Provider and based in these offices (the “Core Design Team”), supplemented by off-site resources also provided by the Service Provider.
The primary role of each Active Travel Design Office will be to develop various active travel schemes through the design and planning stages of each project, together with the development of tender documents for construction plus the management of the tender process for construction.

The Service Providers will also be required to undertake the role of Project Supervisor Design Process in relation to the design stages of the projects that are undertaken by the Service Provider.

In the case of framework agreements, provide justification for any duration exceeding 8 years
Service providers will be given task orders to deliver phases. The works are determinable once preceding phases have been completed. It is envisaged that subsequent phases cannot be completed within 4 years. The framework members will possess knowledge of all phases. Thus it makes practical/economic sense to retain services of the framework members for the envisaged timeframe of 5 years
