SUPPLY INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF DIESEL GENERATORS

Dublin City Council is establishing a single-operator framework agreement for the supply and delivery of sub compact and compact sweepers, as well as winter maintenance vehicles (3 Lots)

Dublin City Council is establishing a single operator framework agreement for the supply and delivery of sub compact and compact sweepers, as well as winter maintenance vehicles, to meet current and emerging operational needs associated with cycle lane cleaning and winter road maintenance across the Council’s administrative area. The framework will operate for a period of four years from the date of award, with an indicative total value of €2.5 million (ex VAT) across all lots. The initial phase value is €800,000 in the first year, with options to extend or issue further allocations as funding becomes available. This value is provided strictly for indicative purposes and does not represent a commitment to purchase any specific quantity or to exhaust the full amount. Actual drawdown will depend on operational requirements, available funding and performance of the awarded suppliers. The tender is divided into three lots to reflect both operational needs and environmental priorities. Lot 1 covers diesel sub compact sweepers, with approximately up to four (4) units expected to be procured and provision for future expansion. Lot 2 covers electric compact sweepers, with between two (2) and six (6) units expected to be procured and provision for future expansion. Lot 3 covers diesel winter maintenance sub compact vehicles, with between two (2) and four (4) units expected to be procured and provision for future expansion. For Lot 1 and Lot 3, the maximum permitted vehicle width is 1100 mm, while for Lot 2 the maximum permitted width is 1200 mm. Vehicles proposed under Lot 3 must be capable of winter treatment functions such as salt spreading on narrow cycle lanes and restricted routes. They must also be adaptable to a brine system in the future, as the methodology for winter road treatment is currently under review. An adjustable salt spreading width, ideally ranging from 1.1 metres to 4 metres, is required. Contractual requirements include a minimum one year full warranty from the vehicle or sweeper manufacturer. The framework does not include the supply of non warranty spare parts or diagnostics. Tenderers must deliver the vehicles within 22 weeks from contract award, with up to two additional weeks allowed for on site operator training where required. All vehicles will have to be delivered to Dublin City Council’s North City Operations Depot (NCOD), St. Margaret’s Road, Ballymun, Dublin 11. Evaluation will include provisional scoring at the evaluation meeting, followed by an on-site trial and inspection of the highest-ranked tenderer to verify compliance. Scores may be adjusted if specifications are not met, and inspections will continue in rank order until complete. Once final evaluations are confirmed, letters will issue, and after the standstill period, the contract may be awarded. The inspection process is integral to the overall evaluation. A full list of technical and performance requirements is provided in Appendix A – Fitness for Purpose.
