Provision of Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Integrated Implementation Plan 2016-2021

Tender description

The Authority seeks submissions from suitable consultants to carry out certain tasks related to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Appropriate Assessment (AA) of the Integrated Implementation Plan for the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) 2016-2021, in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 27th June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (known as the SEA Directive) and Directive 92/43/EEC, known as the Habitats Directive. The Authority has undertaken both SEA and AA of a number of regional-scale transport plans for the GDA in the past and will make use of this work in the assessment of the new Integrated Implementation Plan, where appropriate. As such, the Authority does not require the standard set of tasks normally associated with SEA and AA, rather an update of work done in the past and its application to the new implementation plan.
