Whitesands Project (Flood Protection Scheme & Public Realm Improvements) – Early Contractor Involvement & Main Works Construction

Whitesands Project (Flood Protection Scheme and Public Realm Improvements) – Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and Main Works Construction

Dumfries and Galloway Council (“The Employer”) requires the services of a suitably qualified and experienced Consultant to support the detailed design development of the Whitesands Project through Early Contractor Involvement, including the production of a Report to detail the proposed methodology, findings and considerations relating to the delivery of the Whitesands Project.

It is the Employer’s intention to appoint a single Consultant to deliver the ECI and the subsequent Main Works Construction through a two-stage process:

• Stage 1 – Early Contractor Involvement (“ECI”)
• Stage 2 – Main Works Construction (“Main Works”)

Stage 1 - Early Contract Involvement

The Consultant is required to provide construction-focused advice and expertise to be considered throughout the detailed design in support of Gateway 3 work. This includes collaborating with the Scheme designers to ensure constructability of the Scheme, attending detailed design workshops, optimising cost and efficiency, and offering Consultant insights pre-construction.

Stage 2 - Main Works Construction

The Council would expect the chosen supplier to lead on delivery of the Main Works Construction, with elements including, but not limited to:

• Health and Safety Management (CDM 2015)
• Site Planning and Management
• Waste Management
• Traffic Management
• Planning and License Condition Discharge. Contract Award value is estimated using the previously published contract value of 37.5m GBP as this notice is for both Stage 1 - ECI and Stage 2 - Main Works Construction. This notice is subject to modification upon decision to proceed with Stage 2 if approval granted.
