II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The City of Edinburgh Council wishes to procure a suitably qualified and experienced contractor with extensive experience of design and construction of utility diversions and archaeology resolution in a dense city centre environment. The contractor must have considerable traffic management experience commensurate with the above.

The scope of the swept path contract is to clear the tram route of all below ground utilities and obstructions, including archaeology, either by means of diversion or removal. The parameters of the area to be cleared shall be defined by the contractor awarded the infrastructure and system contract (Lot 1), however this is likely to include space proofing for the tram trackslab, ducting and the installation of Scottish Water connection manholes.

The swept path contract shall be carried out in advance of, but coordinated with, the infrastructure and system contract.

The main elements of the works to be carried out by the swept path contractor are:

— coordination of the utility diversion or removal design and removal of below ground conflicts with the track parameters provided by the infrastructure and systems contractor,

— design of all utility diversions required to achieve the swept path,

— liaising and reaching agreement with all utility companies and third parties as required on utility designs,

— procurement and management of a specialist archaeology subcontractor to manage and carry out works at specific locations of interest along the route, and

— excavation of a ‘zone’ to defined parameters provided by the infrastructure and system contractor to accommodate the tram works along the route allowing all relevant utilities, obstructions and archaeology to be identified, removed and/or diverted accordingly to achieve the swept path.
