Intention to have list of four bidders for second stage
Important to the success of the project. Lessons learned from Phase 1. Benefits of a successful period of ECI:
Ensure everyone fully understands objectives of the scheme prior to main works starting Carry out enabling works to de-risk the programme Able to fully discuss and fairly apportion risks before main works starting Period of time for contractor to scrutinise specimen design and employers requirements and
recommend changes
Changes in ECI period much cheaper than being reactive during main works More time to deal with seasonal environmental constraints More time to plan for meaningful community benefits
Strategy being developed to include in the contract:
Involving local communities in the project Helping local communities Assisting local charities and organisations Inspiring the next generation of engineers Getting local unemployed people back to work Looking after our local and the wider environment Ensuring maximum local spend Caring for and developing the local workforce
We want to build on the award winning work on Phase 1 and push for
Environmentally sensitive landscape Consultation with numerous statutory bodies Access to the west bank of the River Tay – Scheduled Monument
Communication with the public / local stakeholders Largest capital project ever undertaken by the Council – no
