II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Welsh Ministers (WM) have let a contract to the north of Llanddewi Velfrey and Narberth under the “A40 Llanddewi Velfrey to Redstone Cross Improvements Project” under an New Engineering Contract 4 (NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract.)
The WM required the successful project team to take the preliminary design of two schemes, as noted in the draft Orders for the A40 Llanddewi Velfrey to Penblewin Improvements (published July / August 2019) and the A40 Penblewin to Redstone Cross Improvements (yet to be published), and undertake the detailed design, construction and aftercare of the project (Key Stage 6).
The scheme will include the detailed design and construction of approximately 6.1km of new trunk road carriageway, including approximately 3.9km of Wide Single 2+1 carriageway; the construction of one new roundabout and associated side road tie-ins; construction works associated with enlarging one roundabout and associated side road tie-ins; the construction of two new staggered T-junctions and associated side road tie-ins; construction of two new road over-bridges; the construction of ten new attenuation ponds; the creation of all necessary environmental mitigation and all other works required to satisfy the requirements of the Scope and agreements reached with landowners following Public Local Inquiries.
The scheme will also include a package of Active Travel and De-trunking works to the old A40 carriageway in Llanddewi Velfrey and in the vicinity of Redstone Cross. These proposals are complementary to the construction of the new trunk road and are required as part of the commitment by the WM to the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This element of the scheme will include narrowing carriageways to facilitate the provision of dedicated Active Travel routes; construction of formal crossing points across the de-trunked A40; reductions of speed limits along the de-trunked A40 to improve safety; community engagement and associated works to enhance the local communities of Llanddewi Velfrey and Redstone Cross.
