The supplier of the chassis wash lift equipment will be paid through the Main Contract, with Dublin Bus as the overall project client. The tenderer for this equipment will be expected to return a price that can be held for 24 months from date of tender return, as garage completion is scheduled for October 2019. The successful tenderer must account for the supply, install, and commissioning of the equipment along with training of Dublin Bus personnel. The successful tenderer must be able to provide full details and drawings of any civil works requirements, when requested, for inclusion into the Main Contract.
