— decommissioning and removal of obsolete equipment from site.

Further information will be provided within the invitation to tender documentation including full scheme description, relevant network plans and way leave clearance documentation.

For each scheme a fixed price proposal will be requested to complete all the works covered in the scheme description. The fixed price proposal will include, but not be limited to, the following:

— all resources required to complete the works,

— all plant and equipment required to complete the works,

— all excavation work and foundation/plinth construction as required,

— provision of all traffic management and NRASWA requirements,

— special crossings including water courses, major roads etc, if required,

— all ground conditions encountered.

In addition, the fixed price proposal must take into consideration all of the points covered below, however the actual costs for the new equipment to be installed (plant and materials) and the supply and fuelling of generation will be borne by NPg, using NPg’s approved suppliers and therefore these costs will not be part of the proposed fixed price.
