Tender Watch for Roads!

Irish and Proud

I've a few interesting things from e-tenders that I posted on the 'Tender Watch' thread in Infrastructure:

First of all, I picked out this notice which went live today:

11/07/2011 - Tender: N52 Macetown 1.5km Realignment (North of Mullingar - Westmeath CC)

...and there's more (some of the 2011 notices):

06/07/2011 - Prequal: R402 11km Road Improvement (Enfield to Edenderry - Kildare CC)

28/06/2011 - Tender: N51 Littlegrange 0.95km Realignment (Drogheda to Slane - Louth CC)

24/06/2011 - Tender: R132 Overlay 2.4km - Package 1 (Santry to Collinstown - Fingal CC)

24/06/2011 - Tender: R132 Overlay 1.9km - Package 2 (Cloghran to Pinnock Hill - Fingal CC)

14/06/2011 - Tender: N52 Mullaghey 1.0km Reconstruction (Meath CC)

10/06/2011 - Prior Info: M7/N24 Junction Upgrade - 2km along N24 (Ballysimon - Limerick CoCo)

27/01/2011 - Prior Info: N4 Downs Grade Seperation + 5.7km of N4 Reconstruction (Westmeath CC)

26/01/2011 - Prior Info: N52 Carrickbridge to Clonfad D&B Contract 5.6km (Westmeath CC)

That's it for now!

For all Notices under the seach-term 'road', please click here (you must enter 'road' in the first textbox) - there are many other notices for road overlay and reconstruction schemes. Other notices involve secondary works for major road schemes such as fencing contracts and archeological services.

Enjoy!

I refer to the dis-used rail line between Navan and Kingscourt, It is now called the Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway.

Just to let you know that the feasability study is complete and that we are progressing to a part 8 which is the planning stage. The feasability study shows that it will cost 2 million to construct but will generate 5.9 million per annum in the local economy...it is a no brainer really !!!!!!

Which scheme are you referring to, it's unclear?

still going to be a woeful road, the improvement schemes its had are rarely more than 1km in length.

Woeful and down right dangerous spring to mind when I drive that section of the road. Been doing it quite a lot recently and dread meeting a tractor because for large sections it's impossible to overtake without putting your life at risk!

Its been underway for a while, noticed it a while back and was going to post but managed to forget entirely...

Invitation to Tender : N16 Cornacloy to Sradrine Realignment Scheme - Phase 1 (1.1km)

I drove it a few weeks back and was shocked at how bad it is for a national road. The worst part is extremely windy and there's about 8km of road there thats less windy but still is pure hateful driving.

Map of the stretch likely to be eliminated after all phases are completed - phase 1 is the westernmost 1.1km

Drove this part of the N16 today and it's brutal however I notice a lot of work is going on 10k outside of Blacklion. Is that the above road? About time the N16 got some improvements, very poor national road but yet quite busy.

EDIT: I don't see anything on the NRA site either.... Found an article about the road here http://www.sligotoday.ie/details.php?id=23169

I thought they were taking out the bad bend at Maas too.

Its in the EIS (definitively in it as I remember them mentioning needing to CPO the long closed Maas Inn) - all the way to Cannons S/S at Glenties from memory. Must be cutting the scheme in to even more parcels. I'll compare the EIS to the length on that tender later.

It is possible they'd already done the geotech for the Glenties-Maas section.

EU funding is available for that N56 scheme if started quickly. Chronically badly needed.

its very quiet on the Road Tender front. (on the positive lots of schools seem to be getting works tendered so good for jobs now and good for kids in a year or 2!)

24th October 2012 :
1 - Contract Notice - N56 Leitirmacaward to Glenties - Land Conveyance and Legal Services
2 - Contract Notice - N56 Leitirmacaward to Glenties - Land & Property Valuation Services

#1 - The Project involves the widening and realignment of 15.8km of National Secondary Route on the N56 from Leitirmacaward village to Kilraine, south of Glenties in County Donegal. The existing road is sub standard and it is proposed to construct a Type 3 Single Carriageway which will be partly online and partly offline.
The Consultant will be required to provide all land and property valuation services necessary for the acquisition of the lands for the N56 Leitirmacaward to Glenties Road Scheme which are included in the Donegal County Council N56 Leitirmacaward to Glenties (Kilraine) Compulsory Purchase Order, 2011. These services include, but are not limited to, all land and property valuation services, assessment of claims submitted in response to Notice to Treat, negotiation & settlement of claims, assessment & arbitration services

1 - Tender - N70 Pilot Delineation Project

2 - Tender - Construction of Footpath in Batterstown, Dunboyne, County Meath

#1 "The N70 Pilot Delineation Project comprises the construction of Boundary Treatment Works and Pull-in Areas at 4 pilot locations on the N70 Ring of Kerry to include the following:
- Construction of high containment kerbing
- Construction of a raised verge
- Construction of hazard markings
- Construction of new unreinforced and reinforced stone walls
- Increasing the height of existing walls
- Construction of a concrete footpath
- Removal of existing concrete barrier
- Supply and installation of regulatory and warning signage.
- Installation of road markings and road studs
- Construction of road pavement at pull-in areas"
NOTE: It'll be interesting to see what they've planned here. Is it the really small 1 or 2 vehicle pull in areas on the cliff faces or is it the larger ones like at ladys view which are getting a make over.

#2 - "Construction of a 2m wide flexible pavement footpath of approximatey 486m long in Batterstown, Dunboyne Co. Meath "
NOTE: just including this as an example of basic basic simple cheap infrastructure that should have been as much a priority during the boom as inter urban motorways and other major projects that costed many billions in total. Simple projects like this can transform the lives of pensioners, kids and the normal citizen in that they are now connected to their village safely by foot rather than (for safetys sake) needing to drive or have someone else pick them up and drive them to the local village.

Thursday 27th September 2012 - 1 Notice:

1) Tender: N55 Corduff to South of Killydoon Ground Investigation Contract (Cavan County Council).

#1 - It's difficult to get any detailed information on the above scheme, but here's an >>article relating to a dispute with land owners<< (16/06/2010) in relation to CPOs. Presumably, this issue was resolved one way or another - to me, it's just another example of the problems associated with land ownership and its place in the 21st century - all land should be publically owned and leased to private interests - that way, the land belongs to the people and that the common good takes precedence in the event of any environmental change.

Is this the junction at the graveyard & Harry Reynolds road ? if it is any ideas if they will be putting in a filter lane turning left off the naul road on onto the Harry Reynolds road going towards the Garda Station

If you were reading a notice regarding Naul Road / Harry Reynold's Road, then yes - it's the junction at the graveyard. I've really no idea what the layout is going to be - I can't get my hands on anything!

In any case, anything has got to be better than what's there now - right turn filters are very badly needed there.

1) N55 Corduff to South of Killydoon Topographical Survey Contract

2) Carlow Southern Relief Road - N80 to Link Road Roundabout (Ballinacarrig)

#1 "A topographical survey is required for the preliminary design of the N55 realignment in County Cavan etc etc etc."
a ) this is the missing link that would complete the upgrade from south of Ballinagh to the Longford county bounds linking the section just opened a couple of weeks back to the section that is currently being worked on near Mullaghoran pitch.
b ) with this tender we now know exactly what stage this upgrade is at, compared to the mysterious other previous projects led by Cavan County Council that suddenly end up being tendered to be built with no prior warning at all !

#2 theres 1 800m section and lots of "lots" of other tiny 20m bits and bobs of crosses and whatnot

Wednesday 12th September 2012 - 1 Notice:

1) Tender: Navan - Kingscourt Greenway Project (Navan - Kingscourt Greenway/Cycleway Committee).

#1 - Just to clarify, the above notice relates to a feasibility study for the greenway, rather than its construction. The greenway would follow the route of the disused Navan to Kingscourt railway line - AFAIK, this line has been closed for a few years now. Only Tara Mines uses any of the former Drogheda to Kingscourt (via Navan) goods line - hence, only the section from Drogheda to Navan is used. Both the gypsum factory in Kingscourt and Platin cement works Southwest of Drogheda have switched entirely to road freight. Another interesting thing is that the Dún na Rí Forest Park is located very close to Kingscourt - hopefully, the greenway (if constructed) will link up directly with this beautiful amenity.

The map is my creation from the info in the tender but it tallies with the info the minister released at the start of the year on minor schemes in planning that has the total length of the realignment at 3.5 km

Thursday 6th September 2012 - 1 Notice:

1) Tender: Legal Services for the N15 Blackburn Bridge (Phase 1) Project (Donegal County Council).

#1 - More information relating to the above scheme (notice relates to Phase 1 of same) is available >>here<<. Included are PDFs (scroll down) and other useful information. The scheme in total is for 4.5km approx' of mostly Type 1 SC (one section will not include hard shoulders due to the close proximity of development) - the notice relates to 2.4km of this. It is also stated that the >>N13/N15 Ballybofey/Stranorlar Bypass<< would be the ultimate replacement for the said stretch of road, but due to the current funding constraints, the scheme which the notice relates to would be the interim solution, given the poor safety record with the current alignment. I must say that Donegal CC seem to have a nice >>section<< on major road projects!

Regards!

It may be that the A5 will be extended a tad further south than proposed earlier this year....in order to hook up with this bridge. Of the selected A5 portions one was to end around Strabane and perhaps we now know where.

The NI contractor has been allocated a scheme from Derry-Sion Mills where they say they will build from Derry - Strabane for now see Wesleys site here.

This would mean the contractors, Balfour Beatty/BAM/FP McCann Joint Venture., are still allocated a tiny stump 1-2 miles long for 'a future date' which seems a bit daft to me.

Roadbridge were allocated Sion Mills - Omagh which has been kicked back into infinity.

There's a new >>tender notice<< by Donegal County Council - again relating to legal services for the N14/N15 to A5 Link, but nothing about the N56 this time - the deadline is later this month. They must be serious about this scheme!
