Worksites: i. five main tunnel Worksites (drive and/or reception sites) ii. 16 CSO Worksites iii. two System modification Worksites Thames Tideway Tunnel iv. works at Beckton Sewage Treatment works. Scope of Works BMB JV requires a subcontractor to supply and install up to eight pit bottom decks that will be used to hold equipment required for the secondary lining of the main tunnel. All modules will be assembled by the subcontractor at the Carnwath Road main site in an assigned working area. The subcontractor will need to make allowance for working amongst others. BMB will lift the modules into the shaft with supervision and assistance of the subcontractor. The Subcontractor will then install each module into its required position at the bottom of the shaft. All personnel must be EPIC on-boarded as per Tideway induction procedure and have completed an on site-specific induction. BMB will provide access to the shaft bottom. All programme dates are subject to change: Delivery of steel required for assembly of modules 1-4 by 14 Sept 2020. Installation for modules 5 and 6 begins in the shaft mid July 2021. Installation for modules 7 and 8 will be based on the production of the secondary lining the earliest being late 2021 and latest March 2022. Returned quotations will be evaluated by BMB JV's (BAM Nuttall, Morgan Sindall PLC & Balfour Beatty) Procurement team in conjunction with our design and engineering teams. Quotations will be evaluated based on; Cost Timeliness of return Adherence to and demonstration of understanding of the drawings and specifications provided at this point.
