Description
Resurfacing of the Main Deck of the Tamar Bridge, including the north and south cantilever lanes. The successfully appointed Contractor will also be required to manage the sub-contract element of this project, which will involve liaising with the specialist manufacturer to safely remove the existing installed series of illuminated lane studs and being responsible for the timely installation of their replacements, as a key part of the overall resurfacing project. The work is anticipated to take place over a period of up to nine months, anticipated to commence from April 2020.. The resurfacing overall is concerned with implementing Stage 2 of the current resurfacing strategy and follows on from the resurfacing Stage 1 of the Plymouth side span in 2011,.The stage 1 works just replaced the worst section that had failed prematurely due to onerous loading conditions. Stage 2 of the resurfacing strategy, which includes the main deck centre span and the Saltash side span and north and south cantilever lanes, was based on a policy of lifetime maximisation of the existing surfacing system until such a point when noticeable and problematic degradation commenced. At the time it was anticipated that the remaining areas would achieve their anticipated design life span in excess of twelve years and at the then anticipated levels of degradation was expected to last for another 3-7 years (2014-2018). It is now the point where the maximum life has been extracted from the remaining surfacing and replacement is required, commencing in Spring 2020. Suitably experienced and qualified companies are invited to attend a Supplier Information Event, to be held at the Tamar Bridge Offices, commencing from 10 am, on Thursday 5th September, 2019, to find out more about the project and ask pertinent questions before we look to formally advertise the opportunity in late September. If interested in attending this event, please confirm your intended attendance at this event by detailing your name, organisation name, job role and email address via the Portal messaging system for this project and initially we will be limiting participation to no more than 2 attendees per organisation.
