For further information please refer to documentation available at www.etenders.gov.ie Resource ID 1865942. Lot 1: The purpose of the market soundings is to consult with the market on the proposed commercial structure being pursued by DCC for the establishment of a district heating network for Dublin City. It is anticipated that responses will be received from potential private partners with the relevant district heating expertise, knowledge and capability to participate in a joint venture (JV) company which will develop, operate and retail the Dublin District Heating Scheme within DCC’s functional area. Phase 1 of the Project will initially be structured on the requirement to capture waste heat from industrial facilities on the Poolbeg peninsula and pipe it into homes and businesses in the Poolbeg, Ringsend and Docklands areas of Dublin city. The commercial structure of the JV will accommodate the future expansion of the district heating network, including both the build out of the network via expansion of the phase 1 network and the management/operation of nodes developed in other areas of the city. The expansion will also include the development of new low carbon heat sources to operate the network. Please note that this is not a call for competition and no tender documents are available at this stage. The process will not be utilised in order to preclude participation in any future competition to be conducted by Dublin City Council Council.
