Framework: Drone Surveys for Inspection -Bridges & Structures.

Description

Fife Council aims to establish a framework consisting of three lots for a period of 36 months, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. Accordingly, Fife Council is seeking suppliers capable of providing drone surveys in the following areas: -Confined Spaces Surveys -Bridge Surveys -Coastal/Harbour Surveys Lot 3: Harbour and Coastal Drone/ RoV Surveys Currently Fife Council’s harbour walls are inspected by a team of two from a hired boat. By using drone surveys, we can get a much closer look at the walls, and they would allow review of the inspection videos in-house for immediate assessment of suspect issues. Therefore, the Council is looking for a supplier(s) able to carry out photogrammetric and LiDar surveys of the Council’s harbour walls above and below the waterline and similar surveys of inaccessible coast lines above the highwater mark on an as-and-when basis. We require indicative costs for the following items. -Mobilisation to site -Delivery of a 4K Video file – Required. -Delivery of a Photogrammetric model of each structure surveyed. Please detail accuracy of measurement possible. – Required. -Delivery of a brief descriptive report of the activity and inspection in electronic or pdf format – Required. -Live stream of the inspection video feed to MS Teams or similar. – Desired. -Any other items such as site establishment, H&S requirements, accommodation costs etc, Budget It is estimated that a budget of GBP30,000 per year would be made available for these types of survey Lot 2: Bridge Drone Surveys Currently Fife Council’s bridge General and Principal inspections are all conducted in person, necessitating lone working and in many cases the use of specialist access equipment. Inspections are conducted in accordance with codes of practice at the following intervals. General Inspections – every 2 years Principal Inspections – every 6 years Therefore, the Council is looking for a supplier(s) able to carryout photogrammetric and LiDar surveys of the Council bridge inventory on an as-and-when basis. We require indicative costs for the following items. -Mobilisation to site -Delivery of a 4K Video file – Required. -Delivery of a Photogrammetric model of each structure surveyed. Please detail accuracy of measurement possible. – Required. -Delivery of the Lidar survey Cloud points in rcp or rcs format. – Required. -Delivery of a brief descriptive report of the activity and inspection in electronic or pdf format – Required. -Provide Revit model of structure surveyed – Table of costs of levels of detail (LoD) from 1-5. - Required -Live stream of the inspection video feed to MS Teams or similar. – Desired. -Any other items such as site establishment, H&S requirements, accommodation costs etc. Indicative budget per year for project related detailed modelling using drone acquired data. GBP50,000 Lot 1: Confined Space Drone Surveys Fife Council is required by Codes of Practice to inspect all structures every 2 to 3 years. Our policy is to inspect Confined Spaces every 3 years due to the hazardous nature of confined space entry. Therefore, the Council is looking for supplier(s) able to provide the following: Carry out photogrammetric and LiDar surveys of the Council’s Bridges & Structures Service 41 Confined Spaces. Initially we require at least 14 of these inspected in the first year. We require indicative costs for the following items. -Mobilisation to site -Delivery of a 4K Video file – Required. -Delivery of a Photogrammetric model of each structure surveyed. Please detail accuracy of measurement possible. – Required -Delivery of the Lidar survey Cloud points in rcp or rcs format. – Required. -Delivery of a brief descriptive report of the activity and inspection in electronic or pdf format – Required. -Provide Revit model of structure surveyed – Provide an indicative table of costs of level of detail (LoD) 1-5 (This will not be required for all structures). -Live stream of the inspection video feed to MS Teams or similar. – Desired. -Any other items such as site establishment, H&S requirements, accommodation costs etc. It is estimated that a budget of GBP 50,000 per year would be made available for the above surveys. This would not include the costs of revit modelling as it is appreciated this will not always be required and is more costly.
