Published

Description

The M400 Contracts will be awarded in accordance with the provisions of the European Union (Award of Contracts by Utility Undertakings) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 286/2016). This Periodic Indicative Notice is made in contemplation of the anticipated launch of a public procurement process for the appointment of three contractors pursuant to the M400 Contracts and in furtherance of the on-going market consultation in relation to the M400 Contracts. MetroLink is a new/greenfield metro railway to be built and operated in an integrated manner to provide a high speed, high capacity, high frequency, modern and efficient public transport service for people travelling along the Swords/Airport to City Centre corridor in Dublin. More information on the MetroLink Project and scope of the M400 Contracts and M500 Contract is available at www.metrolink.ie. MetroLink will be procured by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) through four major separate public contracts as well as a series of smaller advance and enabling works contract packages addressing preparatory issues such as utility diversions. These major contracts comprise: a) the three M400 Contracts for the design and construction of the tunnels, shafts and portals, shell and core station structures (underground, retained cut and at-grade), viaducts, and related MetroLink civil infrastructure. It is anticipated that these contracts will be delivered using the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option C with amendments. These works are divided into three geographical sections being a southern section (M401), central section (M402) and northern section (M403). b) a public private partnership (PPP) contract (designated contract number M500 – the “M500 Contract”) to appoint a Service Delivery Partner who will provide certain works and the integrated operation and maintenance of the public passenger transport service. The integrated services will include the design, supply, operation, maintenance and financing 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 of finishes in sixteen stations. TII is considering the award of an early development agreement to the selected preferred tenderer for the M500 Contract to facilitate it in the role of railway systems integrator with the civil infrastructure/M400 contracts.
