Technical requirements: Construction of the base tunnel of the Lyon-Turin railway link cross-border section from the french side - Operational worksites 5, 6/7 and 8
Under the new Lyon-Turin railway link project, TELT society, as a contracting entity, is the public developer in charge of building and managing the cross-border section of the future infrastructure.
The aim of this public procurement contract is to carry out construction works under operational worksites n. 5 (digging the base tunnel from the Villarodin-Bourget/Modane decline), n. 6/7 (digging the base tunnel from the La Praz and Saint-Martin-la-Porte declines) and n. 8 (digging the base tunnel from the Villard-Clément gates).
Each lot of this public procurement contract is a mixed single-contractor framework contract, i.e. a framework contract with purchase orders and follow-on contracts.
The activities of this lot n. 1 include the transfer of existing facilities (especially declines and Avrieux shaft) and the construction of all future base tunnel facilities over a distance of roughly 21.9 km for each tube, running from Modane up to the adjoining section in Italy.
- construction of the Villarodin-Bourget platform (fence, earthworks, dikes, power supply, site ventilation, pit water treatment, other site facilities);
- civil engineering works on the Modane safety site and the related service galleries (digging using conventional methods, supports, waterproofing and surfacing/paving) from the foot of the Villarodin-Bourget/Modane decline;
- civil engineering works on the base tunnel (digging using conventional methods and/or tunnel boring machine, supports, waterproofing and surfacing/paving) as well as the related intertube galleries and service/utility rooms;
- civil engineering works to reconstruct the Villarodin-Bourget/Modane decline in its final dimensions;
- construction of all facilities needed to provide site logistics and backup (temporary or permanent facilities, underground works, utilities, etc...);
- construction of sites for preclassification of excavated materials for subsequent reuse and of sites for the temporary or permanent storage of materials deriving from underground earthworks and excavations (Moulin and Tierces sites);
Works to be carried out through follow-on contracts (initiated or not depending on the operational date of the lot in charge of testing, sorting and reusing the excavation materials) involve the management and use of excavation materials, which may include all or some of the following services :
Follow-on contracts may also allow for civil engineering works to be carried out to construct tunnel structures that will interface with future equipment contracts.
The scope of this "Operational Worksite 5" lot may undergo limited changes in relation to the perimeters of "Operational Worksite 4" to the east and "Operational Worksite 6" to the west, based on the actual progress of each of the worksites and the need to keep the project implementation programme within the expected timeframes.
The framework contract of this lot n. 1 shall be concluded without any minimum or maximum amount. The estimated amount mentioned in II.2.6. above is not contractually binding. This is merely a rough guide calculated on a base tunnel section length of approximately 21.9 km.
