Tender description

Local authority public lighting energy efficiency project. The Local authority public lighting energy efficiency project proposes to retrofit circa 280 000 Public Lights with energy efficient LED lanterns over the next 3-4 years in 24 Local Authorities across Ireland. It is estimated that the total capital expenditure for this project will be circa. 150 000 000 EUR. The project will be delivered via design and build contracts in 3 geographical regions. It is intended that the first of these contacts will be tendered during Q4 2019 with pre-qualification of contractors in mid-2019. One of the primary objectives of this project is to enable Local Authorities achieve their energy efficiency targets as set out in the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP4). The project has the potential to save 97 000 000 kWh/year in electricity and over 42 000 tonnes of CO2/year. A market briefing event will be held on behalf of the National Project in the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport on Tuesday 14.5.2019 from 13:00. A presentation will commence at 13:30 and will be followed by a questions and answers session. There will also be an opportunity to have a brief one-to-one session with a Project Team Member at this event. Time slots will be limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Please email contact@rmo.ie to arrange a time. The project will be delivered in 3 geographical regions each led by a Contracting Local Authority. Cork County Council will act as the Contracting Authority for the Southern Region which consists of approx. 92 000 lights across 5 Local Authorities. Similarly, Kilkenny County Council will be the contracting authority for the Eastern Region consisting of 10 Local Authorities involving approx. 114 000 lights. The contracting local authority for the North-West region is currently being finalised, and this region consists of approx. 76 000 lights in 9 local authorities.
