The Council has been awarded external funding to facilitate a 5-year heritage programme to enhance Tarbert’s waterfront. With a view to encouraging participation, these types of projects benefit from a design team framework. A framework not only enables Council officers to recommend an architect, but through which the project is also better able to control quality and secure best value, whilst removing an onerous activity from the property owners.
This Contract will further progress the development toward a new pier at Craignure and is the next step in the continuation of this project.
This contract will appoint a management consultant for the project who will develop the Final Business Case for the project, refine the Design to RIBA stage 4 and assist Officer in appointing a Principal Contractor to aid in ensuring the design is correct, efficient and makes use of the latest available technologies. The Management Consultant will also support Council Officers at public engagements and in consultation with the principal stakeholders.
The Council is seeking to determine the future organisational arrangements for waste disposal and will consider relevant options that can be provided. In the short-term there is a requirement to provide services to the PPP Contract area. Please see attached RFI Supporting Document for additional information.
Supply and Delivery of Cattle Grids for Argyll and Bute Council
Argyll and Bute Council are looking to set up a single supplier framework to allow for the supply and delivery of Cattle Grids to roads depots within the region.
The existing pier and passenger facilities at Craignure are life expired and new infrastructure will support the deployment of new vessels on the route and wider ferry network as follows:
- Replace the existing terminal infrastructure, parts of which are in poor condition, deteriorating or have limited structural capacity.
- Increase berth capacity at the new ferry terminal to allow the full range of design vessels to be safely accommodated.
- Ensure vessels can reliably berth year-round at the new ferry terminal, including in challenging weather conditions and overnight, to reduce weather-related cancellations and improve the winter timetable.
- Increase resilience of the new ferry terminal operations.
- Allow safe and efficient embarkation and disembarkation for both vehicles and foot passengers, including those with impaired mobility and wheelchair users.
- Increase capacity of the new vehicle marshalling yard in line with industry standards, addressing congestion on the A849.
- Provide a new terminal building with modern facilities, meeting staff and passenger demand.
- Provide access for RNLI lifeboat, which is used for medical evacuations from Mull to the mainland; and
- Maintain the operational ferry service during construction works, avoiding and minimising disruption to the ferry service as far as practicable.
