ITT MILFORD HAVEN LOCK PONTOONS

Descriptions

MHPA has identified the two existing pontoons that are located in the entrance to Milford Dock lock are to be replaced. The existing pontoons and the guide rails that hold the pontoons in position are reported to operate poorly and require very frequent maintenance or repair, particularly to the guide rails and rollers.The primary function of the lock entrance pontoons is to provide temporary berthing to the vessels entering the dock while waiting for the lock to fill up to the required water level and the gates to open.The pontoons should allow for easy access for inspection, maintenance and repair of the pontoons themselves and the guide rails, which is not currently achieved.The project is intended to be funded by a Grant for UK Seafood Fund: Infrastructure (Round 2) and will only proceed on successful receipt of funding.REQUIREMENTThe Port of Milford Haven invites you to submit a proposal for the following works:•Design and Build for Pontoons, guides, ladders and fixings and associated worksFull details of the works to be provided can be found in Appendix 4, Annex 3The tenderer shall submit the following details with their tender:•Pontoon drawings and specification•Details of pontoon guides and fixings•Any protective coatings or corrosion protection details•Outline method statement and risk assessments•Proposed Ground Investigations necessary to finalise the design of the fixings•Details of variation in design of the fixings, should the compressive strength of the lock wall be worse than anticipatedin addition to the information required in Section 5.Full details of the works can be found in the full suite of documents via the SharePoint link below:https://mhpa.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/O365Tenders/EmEefjxqgFtHlEkDtUgNyuQBKhI9qSTOblOzI6oE5rlhlw?e=GR58bgNOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=129373.The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility.
