Tender description

Stirling Council, Clackmannanshire Council and Falkirk Council are carrying out an open tender procedure to create a framework agreement for works across their Road Services teams. The framework will cover works to supplement existing resources or where the Councils do not have the requisite expertise to carry the work out in house. Lot 1: Lot 1 Roads Maintenance Resurfacing / Reconstruction of Bituminous Carriageways and footways; Kerbing; Carraigeway and Footway Patching; Slabbing / Modular Paving / Natural Stone; Footpath Construction; Road Planing. Lot 2: Lot 2 Roads Improvements Minor Road Re-alignments; Junction Improvements; Traffic Calming Schemes; Rural / Remote footpath and cycleway construction; Dropped Footway Crossings; Active travel schemes eg Cycleways; Public Realm Projects using high quality materials; and Any other roads related Civil Engineering project Lot 3: Lot 3 Surface Dressing Surface Dressing of Carriageways at Pre Determined Locations Lot 4: Lot 4 vehicle Restraint Systems Supply and Installation of Vehicle Restraint Systems and Terminals; Repair of Damaged VRS'; Reinstatement of Surfaces. Lot 5: Lot 5 street Lighting Installation of lighting columns (including bracket arm and lanterns); Civils, ground works, surfacing reinstatements; Tracking, Ducting and Cabling; Electrical work and testing(low value); Retrofitting LED Lanterns to existing columns; Wall brackets. Lot 6: Lot 6 Painting Lighting Column painting (inclusive of cherry picker); Street Furniture; Signposts. Lot 7: Lot 7 Application of Cold In Situ Recycling Regen process - Application of cold in situ recycling followed by the application of surface dressing to seal the surface. Lot 8: Lot 8 Retread and Micro Asphalt Retread process - a recycling process in which the existing aggregate in the road is used, bitumen emulsion is added and the road reshaped. It is usually suitable for use on lightly trafficked roads. To prolong the life of the asset, this is usually followed by the micro asphalt process, however, each can be used independently. The micro asphalt process is a two-phase process. First, a regulating layer of material is applied. This improves the surface profile of the road. This is followed by a second layer which gives the final surface. Both layers are usually applied on the same day, to a thickness of approximately 14mm Lot 9: Lot 9 Infrared Pothole Patching Infrared patching - uses an infrared heating unit to heat in-place asphalt to soften it to a workable state, then new asphalt can be added which fuses seamlessly to the old. Lot 10: Lot 10 Spray Injection Patching A process that allows road defects such as potholes, cracking and crazing to be fixed by applying a blended bitumen emulsion and aggregate mix to potholes for a permanent repair solution.
