Technical requirements: The City of Edinburgh Council requires a monitoring plan to assess the impact of the CCWEL Project on ten key user/impact groups.
The Council requires a monitoring plan to assess the impact of the City Centre West East Link (CCWEL) Project on ten key user/impact groups.
The aim of CCWEL is to provide a cycle route for less confident cyclists and those who may be concerned about cycling in busy traffic. The route will be mostly segregated from traffic and run along key streets including Roseburn Terrace, West Coates, Haymarket Terrace, Melville Street, George Street and York Place. It will link planned cycle facilities on Leith Walk with the off-road path network at Roseburn. There will also be links to Haymarket Station, Rutland Square and Lothian Road, as well as significant improvements for pedestrians in terms of number and quality of road crossings and improvements to pavements.
Tenderers are required to have a minimum ‘general’ annual turnover of 350 000 GBP for the last 2 financial years. Where a tenderer does not have an annual turnover of this value, the Council may exclude the tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition.
Tenderers are required to hold, or commit to obtaining prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:
Where a tenderer does not hold or commit to obtaining the types and levels of insurance indicated, the Council may exclude the tenderer from the competition.
The formula for calculating a tenderer’s current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. The acceptable range for each financial ratio is greater than 1.1. Where a tenderer’s current ratio is less than the acceptable value, the Council may exclude the tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition.
