Railway construction works

Tender description

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a framework agreement to provide a new delivery route for major and minor infrastructure improvement works on Transport for London (TfL) and Network Rail Managed Infrastructure (NRMI). This framework will be Rail for London Ltd (Part of the TfL Group of Companies and made up of London Overground, Trams and DLR) primary means of undertaking infrastructure improvement works for the term of the framework agreement. While primarily for Rail for London Ltd this framework can be utilised all TfL Group Companies including London Underground LImited and Crossrail for rail infrastructure improvement works. Economic operators applying for this framework will need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the applicable professional engineering and design matters relating to railway station operations, railway engineering and be able to apply them to the operation of an light rail operations and heavy passenger rail operations. Economic operators will be required to undertake the duties of principal designer and principal contractor under the CDM Regulations for all call-off contracts awarded under the framework agreement. The selection criteria for the SSQ as well as the deadline for completion can be located within the SSQ pack. The framework terms and conditions will be based on NEC3 Option A, Option C, Short form and professional services contract (with TfL Amendments). Lot 1.1: Minor infrastructure improvement for works valued between GBP 0-GBP 4 000 000. The list below is indicative only, the full framework scope can be located in Attachment 1 of the SSQ documentation. The successful 2-3 economic operators awarded a framework agreement for this lot will have the capability to design, procure, install/modify, execute, test and commission and handover into maintenance the following packages of works/services identified below: Design: The successful economic operators will have the capability to provide multidisciplinary designs throughout the life cycle of a project. This will include (but is not limited to) fulfilling early design development including feasibility, option selection and single option development and detailed design. Works: Civil and premises — including modification of existing railway stations, route wide civils structures, Station platforms, Railway depots, ancillary buildings. Works: Telecommunications — lineside and railway control systems, radio systems, antenna's, information and security systems, CCTV, access control, PA systems, customer information systems, public help point systems, passenger emergency points, telephone systems, data networks and Scada systems. Works: Fire detection and prevention systems — Fire detection, warning systems and integration into new and/or existing systems, fire suppression systems, smoke ventilation systems, fire separation, compartmentation and structural fire protection, fire safety management controls. Works: Low voltage mechanical, electrical and power installations/renewal for railway stations, station platforms, railway depots and ancillary buildings. Works: High voltage mechanical, electrical and traction power (Track) including points and conductor rail heating systems, high voltage transformers, rectifiers and HV cabling, UPS, line side lighting, earthing and bonding, EMC verification, signalling power supply. Works: Overhead line equipment (OHLE) and direct current (DC) — including design, installation and commissioning of OHLE and DC systems. Works: Signalling — including installation of TPWS systems, signalling commission systems, line side indicators, signalling control systems. Works: Track — the installation of track on all TfL infrastructure (i.e. heavy rail, light rail and trams). Works: Station lifts and escalators — including design, Installation, modification and commissioning and asset hand back.
