MetroLink will provide a high speed, high capacity, high frequency, modern and efficient public transport service for passengers travelling along the Swords/Airport to City Centre corridor in Dublin, which will be capable of integration with other modes of public transport. Further information on MetroLink is available at www.metrolink.ie MetroLink will be procured under a series of public works and services contracts: Programme Delivery Partner (“PDP”) Contract: The PDP Contract shall support Transport Infrastructure Ireland (“TII”) through providing capability and capacity to support the TII organisational structure in post-contract, construction and delivery (including contract management functions such as fulfilling role of “Project Manager” and “Supervisor” under the M401/M402 Main Civils Infrastructure Contracts and performance of the statutory function of Project Supervisor Construction Stage under the M401/M402 Main Civils Infrastructure Contracts and the M500 Contract). M401/402 Main Civils Infrastructure Contracts: Two NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) contracts will be let for the civil engineering and infrastructure works including track alignment preparation, stations and structures including bridges and tunnels. Further detail on the scope of the two M400 Main Civils Infrastructure Contracts is as envisaged below:  1.

M500 Contract An availability-based design, build, finance, operate and maintain (“DBFOM”) contract to appoint a project company (“M500 Contractor”) who will carry out design and construction, raise finance in respect of such construction, and subsequently provide the integrated operation and maintenance of the public passenger transport service. The M500 Contractor will be responsible for the design, manufacture, supply and installation of the metro rolling stock, signalling system (at Grade of Operation 4 - an automated railway), a railway depot and maintenance facility, metro control centre building(s) together with the installation of all line-wide trackwork, overhead contact system, power and communication systems, mechanical and electrical systems including tunnel and station ventilation, people movement systems and the fit out and finishes in sixteen stations plus urban realm works.
