Description

A term service contract has been in place for the last 4 years for Road Restraint System replacement works. The primary purpose of this contract was to deliver a programme of replacement of identified substandard sections of road restraint systems throughout the County. The contract was also used to commission reactive repairs to systems damaged as a result of road traffic accidents. Over the 4 year term of the contract this replacement has been substantially completed. The existing term contract expires on 31st May 2020.
Whilst the replacement programme for substandard existing barrier systems has been largely completed the County has identified and received funding for significant new barrier systems on two county roads as part of wider road safety schemes. It has also been established that a cyclical programme of inspections of the existing systems is required to comply with standards and continuously identify any sections reaching end of life conditions. It is envisaged that a new term contract will primarily be used to deliver the proposed new road restraint systems works on the A684 and A592 but will also be used to complete the final replacement programme works, carry out reactive repairs and replacements, undertake cyclical inspections of the Countywide road restraint system asset and carry out any resulting replacement works.
