Description

This scheme involves the relocation of Waterbeach Railway Station.
Procurement activity includes the detailed design and construction of the scheme via appointment of a main Contractor under NEC Option A.
The scheme comprises a new railway station consisting of 2 No. platforms, accessible footbridge, and secondary means of escape (SME), a 200-space car park, taxi and bus drop-off, cycle storage, public realm, and a new access road from Cody Road. The new highway and car park will be operated and maintained by Cambridgeshire County Council.
The scheme also includes the decommissioning and demolition of the existing Waterbeach Railway Station.
It is proposed to transfer ownership, operation, and maintenance of the new station to Network Rail.
The current Station Facilities Operator (SFO) is Govia Thameslink Railway operating as Great Northern.
The Contractor will carry out the rail works as 'Third Party Works,' as defined in Standard NR/L2/CIV/095 and non-rail works as Outside Party works as defined in NR/L2/CIV/095.
The ES4 preliminary design has been completed by WSP as the Lead Designer and it is anticipated this will achieve the 'Approved in Principle' (AIP) milestone prior to the Invitation to Tender (ITT).
Sable Leigh Consultancy (SLC) are appointed as 'Project Manager' and Client Representative on behalf of the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP).
Volker Fitzpatrick has been undertaking Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) activities. The key outputs of the ECI work will be shared transparently as part of the tender pack.
Network Certification Body (NCB) has also been appointed in ES4 as the independent assessment body for CSM and interoperability.
