The route links the Helensburgh Waterfront segregated cycleway to the existing cyclepath beside the A814 at Red Burn near Morrisons.

Description

This tender is for Phase 3 of the Helensburgh, Cardross and Dumbarton Cyclepath; linking the Helensburgh Waterfront segregated cycleway (OS Grid NS 29598 82259) to the existing section of the cyclepath adjacent to the A814 at the Red Burn (OS Grid NS 31655 81112), near the north-east corner of Morrisons Supermarket site, and will build upon the concept design developed for the majority of the route (Civic Engineers, 2025). Argyll & Bute Council wish to appoint an appropriately qualified and experienced design team to develop Phase 3 of the Helensburgh, Cardross and Dumbarton Cyclepath project from the current concept design through Developed (RIBA Stage 3) and Technical (RIBA Stage 4) Design, and to be Principal Designer during construction (RIBA Stage 5). The project will require the successful tenderer to complete a range of survey, design and in-depth engagement work, including in-depth community, stakeholder and landowner engagement, topographic and utilities surveys, equality impact assessment (EqIA) and Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) to ensure route(s) identified have strong community, neighbour and landowner support and that the design drawings for the route(s) are robust, deliverable and of a high quality. These will all be subject to engagement with the community, businesses, landowners, neighbouring landowners, Argyll and Bute Council, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and Transport Scotland.
