Provision of Traffic Surveys in 4 Lots

Tender description

Further to the PIN issued on 14 October 2014 the National Transport Authority (NTA) is commissioning the generation of regional transport models which will cover all areas nationally outside of the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). As part of this process traffic data is required to supplement the existing traffic count database. The information generated at the proposed traffic survey locations will be used to support the on-going development of each of the four regional models, namely the Southwest Regional Model, Southeast Regional Model, Midwest Regional Model and West/Northwest Regional Model. The main city in each of the regional models is Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway respectively. Data from proposed survey locations will be used to supplement an existing nationwide traffic survey database, which has been streamlined into a standardised format. The services to be provided comprise the undertaking of traffic surveys at specified locations in four different lots, one lot representing each of the aforementioned regional areas. Each lot must be completed in its entirety and each lot includes a combination of survey types. The boundary of the model is based on existing county boundaries and the extent of the regional model is as follows: Lot 1. Southwest Regional Model (Cork): Counties Cork and Kerry. Lot 2. Southeast Regional Model (Waterford): Counties Waterford, Tipperary South, Wexford, Carlow and Kilkenny. Lot 3. Midwest Regional Model (Limerick): Counties Limerick, Tipperary South and Clare. Lot 4. West/Northwest Regional Model (Galway): Counties Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Sligo and Donegal.
