Scarborough Traffic Signals Upgrade

Description

The Authority intends to procure a Contractor to deliver a comprehensive upgrade of multiple traffic signal-controlled junctions within Scarborough. The works will involve the replacement and modernisation of existing traffic signal equipment, improvements to pedestrian crossing facilities, installation of new detection systems, civil engineering works, and commissioning of upgraded traffic management technology. The required works include the supply, installation, configuration and testing of new LED signal heads, pedestrian demand units, associated cabling, controllers, poles and street furniture. The Contractor will also be required to complete all associated civil engineering works, including the installation of ducts, chambers, cabling routes, alterations to kerbs and tactile paving, adjustments to road studs, and modifications to footways and surfacing where needed. The project includes upgrading junctions to operate under MOVA control, including installation of MOVA loops, additional detection, and the full commissioning and validation of MOVA operation. Factory Acceptance Testing and Site Acceptance Testing must be carried out in accordance with national standards and the Authority's requirements. Existing equipment will be retained or replaced as specified, and a new wireless antenna will be installed at one junction to support future communication links. Road markings will be refreshed or amended as required. All electrical and signalling installations must comply with the relevant British Standards, guidance in the Traffic Signs Manual, the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions, and the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges. The Contractor must supply all necessary materials, equipment and labour to complete the works to the required standards. All supplied equipment must be new unless otherwise agreed with the Authority. A Construction Phase Plan, risk assessments, method statements and all health and safety documentation must be provided in accordance with CDM Regulations. The Contractor will coordinate with the Authority and its design and traffic signal teams throughout delivery and will be expected to attend progress meetings, site inspections, testing sessions and handover activities. The Contractor must also provide all required as‑built information, manuals, commissioning certificates, and warranty documentation. The estimated contract value and delivery timeline are indicative only and may be subject to change as the procurement progresses and further project information becomes available. Work scheduling must take account of local traffic sensitivities, including school holidays, peak periods and any restrictions on working during the summer season. The contract will be awarded under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract. The Contractor must comply with all requirements for quality, safety, environmental responsibility and social value as set out by the Authority. Sustainability considerations, minimising disruption to road users, and efficient programme management will be essential to successful delivery.
