II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The PQQ process is to establish market capability
to carry out the required works within the time
period indicated. It is the Client's intent to follow up
the PQQ responses with a tendering process with a
view to award a Marine Nearshore GI Boreholes
contract based on a detailed RFP process.
Sea Link has already undertaken a cable route
survey of the corridor for the planned marine
corridor, including the nearshore and landfall zones
to the location of the Transition Joint Bay
Compound.
Sea Link has committed to trenchless solutions for
the beach crossings at the Suffolk landfall,
Aldeburgh as well as the Kent landfall Pegwell Bay.
Nearshore boreholes to collect geotechnical and
physical core data are required at each landfall.
Access to the sampling sites is presumed from the
marine environment, due to the environmental
sensitivity of the landfalls and exposure to coastal
processes, requiring specialised equipment and
appropriate methodologies which have been
subject to thorough risk assessments. The Kent
locations are on mudflats which are exposed at low
water. Completion of the acquisition, testing and
reporting needs to be completed no later than Q2
2024 subject to relevant consents and permits
being in place. The Employer will provide detailed
technical specifications for Tenderer to comply with
at the RFP stage (stage 2).
