A series of interventions are being developed
as part of the CRSTS Bus Lane Review Implementation project.
These interventions include modifications to existing bus lanes and
other measures.
It is necessary to verify the position of buried service plant and
determine ground conditions as part of the design of these
interventions.
Quotations have been sought to undertake these works.
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Highways Delivery Team have
provided a quotation of £2,591.99/day to undertake this work
(including road space permit applications), and have estimated the
duration of the works to be 20 days. The total value of the
quotation is thus £51,839.80.
Amey have also provided a quotation of £52,519.06, which does
not include road space permit applications.
The addition of 10% contingency to the RMBC quotation results in a
figure of £57,023.78.
RMBC are in the best position to carry out this work on their own
highways, especially given their experience of using the RMBC road
space permitting system.
To instruct RMBC to undertake the trial holes
to a maximum amount of £57,023.78.
The option of procuring the work via other
contractors has been considered but not developed further as market
interest in this sort of small scale work is considered to be
minimal.
