The M14 Utilities and Enabling Works Framework will be established under the NEC4 Framework and suite of contracts and designed to support the delivery of the M100 Advanced and Enabling Works Programme and the wider MetroLink Programme. The NEC Framework will initially run for four (4) years, with options extending up to a maximum duration of twelve (12) years, through a subsequent renewal of a further four (4) years, plus up to four (4) additional one (1) year renewals. The 12 year duration is essential to support the MetroLink programme and align with the M400 and M500 contract durations. The Framework will comprise five (5) Lots, including Site Enabling Lots, Utilities Lot and Multidisciplinary Lots and is designed to ensure suitability qualified Contractors are appointed to the respective Lots in order to deliver call-off contracts aligned to the scope of each Lot. The scope of the M14 Utilities and Enabling Works Framework includes: Land Access: All works associated with adjusting existing infrastructure to obtain land access / vacant possession required for scheme construction. All works associated with setting up the construction compounds. Demolition: All works associated with demolition of structures to facilitate the construction of Metrolink. Site Clearance: All works associated with vegetation clearance including Invasive Alien Plant Species. All works associated with establishing tree protection measures. Playing pitch modifications: All works associated with modifying playing pitches. All works associated with the treatment of cellars. Heritage works: The removal, storage, repair or conservation and reinstatement of identified heritage items. Façade Retention. Archaeology: All works associated with the archaeological investigation, reporting and resolution at specific locations where archaeological constraints exist Hard and Soft Landscaping. Civils works including permanent and temporary road construction and reinstatement, earthworks, utilities, drainage, road makings and other ancillary works where required. Property Renovations including noise mitigation measures. The decommissioning, diversion, protection and strengthening of utilities including the provision of new utility connections where appropriate. Diversions of utility assets including electricity, gas, water, foul drainage, surface drainage, and communications. Engagements with Utility Asset Owners and wider stakeholders. Sewer relining and protection works. Building Works. Site Investigation Works where required. Surveying, monitoring and testing; Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS) Each Lot under the Framework will include elements of the above scope. 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.
