Project Management Led Multi-Disciplinary Team for Construction Consultancy Services

Tender description

The IDA Raheen Business Park is located on the southern fringe of Limerick City approx. 5kms from the City Centre. The Park is accessible from the nearby M20 Motorway and has two main access routes which include the predominant access from the Ballycummin Road off the M20 while the R526 road provides secondary access to its northwestern entrance. In recent years with the continued growth and development of the IDA Raheen Business Park, issues with traffic and congestion have become more pronounced and it is a significant concern for many of the tenants in the park. The daily staff volumes and freight movements are significant, leading to pressures on transport infrastructure and parking facilities as continually highlighted by current tenants. The Raheen area faces challenges related to car dependency, limited public transport options, and growing traffic congestion and those effects are felt within the IDA Park. In May 2024, a Transport Strategy for the park was commenced. The aim of the Transport Strategy was to provide IDA with a robust, evidence-based framework for advancing sustainable transport solutions that support both IDA objectives and the growth ambitions of tenant companies. From consultation with tenants, the Local Authority and stakeholders, combined with the findings of the ABTA, and to allow for continued expansion of the Park a Mobility Management Plan Framework is now being established and its implementation will be coordinated on the Park over the next 5 years. In addition to the MPPF, the Transport Strategy (informed by the ABTA) provided several preferred options which included a long list of infrastructural interventions which could be broken down into 3 categories. 1. Active Travel Options 2. Public Transport Options 3. Access and Capacity Option This Call for Tenders concerns 4 separate key priority items from the Access and Capacity Options recommendations to be delivered; they include the following: 1.
