While the above Frameworks are predominantly set up for the MetroLink project TII reserve the right to utilise these arrangements on other TII Luas Network Projects that are of a similar scope and nature. Lot 1 - Major Site Enabling works is primarily focused on delivering large-scale site enabling operations across complex urban environments. While the core scope centres on site enabling activities such as demolition, site clearance, environmental protection, access road provision, and landscape reinstatement, this lot also encompasses essential utilities works, including the installation, diversion, and protection of key services. Contractors bidding for this lot must demonstrate the capability to deliver major site enabling as the dominant quantum of work will be site preparation and enabling, with a requirement to competently deliver supporting utilities tasks as needed.; Lot 2 - Major Utilities is principally concerned with the delivery of substantial utilities works as its core function. Under this lot, the primary focus is on the installation, diversion, commissioning, decommissioning, and protection of various utility services. While limited site enabling works may be required to facilitate the execution of the major utilities elements the dominant scope remains on complex utility infrastructure, demanding contractors with proven expertise in large-scale utility projects who can also efficiently manage any necessary enabling works as a supporting activity.; Lot 3 - Minor Site Enabling Works is primarily concerned with carrying out smaller site enabling operations within urban environments, for contract values up to €5 million. The scope encompasses site enabling works delivered on a smaller scale. The scope for minor site enabling activities will be required to deliver some utilities works, but the principal portion of work will involve site preparation and enabling, with the ability to competently undertake associated utilities tasks as required.; Lot 4 - Minor Utilities is primarily focused on delivering utilities works within urban environments, for contract values up to €5 million. While the main emphasis is on minor utilities activities, the Lot also incorporates a limited capability to undertake small-scale site enabling works as required, supporting the delivery of utilities operations.; Lot 5 - Multidisciplinary Works encompasses projects that require a balance of both major site enabling operations and complex utilities works within challenging urban environments. Contractors appointed under this lot will be expected to demonstrate comprehensive expertise in undertaking large-site enabling works as well as or alongside a range of utility services, with the quantum of work required under call-off contracts to be of a similar value and scale in both site enabling works and utilities works.
