    About the bid

      Section 47 of the 1999 Act, which refers to section 45 of the Electricity Supply Act 1927, gives the Contracting Authority legal powers to decide to grant or refuse to grant a special order on the application of ESB, or of a holder of an authorisation to construct or reconstruct a generating station for the purpose of supply to final customers, or to construct an interconnector, or of a person who has applied for such an authorisation, in certain circumstances. Section 45 of the Electricity Supply Act sets out the legal basis for the compulsory acquisition of any land, easement, or other right over land, or to acquire or use compulsorily any right over land by special order. Section 45 also establishes a procedure for exercising that compulsory acquisition power. In considering whether or not to grant a special order the Contracting Authority may hold a public inquiry. This legislation can be found on www.irishstatutebook.ie and the revised acts, administrative consolidations of the legislation, can be found on www.lawreform.ie. The Contracting Authority expects that one or more applications for a special order may be received and is seeking (by this Competition) to appoint a framework of Inspectors. The Contracting Authority is seeking an Inspector to review, chair a public inquiry (if required), prepare a written reasoned report, assess the relevant information and make a recommendation to the Commissioners on an application for a special order(s). The Contracting Authority is proposing that a panel of Inspectors be procured. The Inspector will work closely with a secretariat, who will provide all administrative, logistical, technical and environmental supports, where required, to complete the review. The Contracting Authority will separately appoint a service provider to provide Secretariat services to support the Contracting Authority and any appointed Inspector.

      25/002 - Provision of Onshore and or Nearshore Inspection Services

      The Contracting Entity is seeking applications from suitably experienced inspection companies to carry out offshore, nearshore and onshore inspection surveys of two submarine gas transmission pipelines each approximately 200km long, Scotland to Ireland from shore to shore, and one spur and one umbilical approximately 11km long to the Isle of Man. The network cathodic protection is provided by means of sacrificial aluminium alloy half shell bracelet anodes. The network entire lengths are either trenched, or rockdumped in lieu of trenching. The seabed is varied and includes sandwaves towards the Scottish end. The maximum water depth is approximately 140 metres. The inspection scope requires vessels equipped for visual inspection, acoustic examination, cathodic protection monitoring and the assessment of the disposition of the pipeline relative to the seabed. There is also a requirement for a capability for conducting intervention tasks involving the removal of seabed debris and/or freespan rectification and maintenance capability for a subsea tee in approximately 30 metres water depth. There is a further requirement for a capability to mobilise an offshore diving spread to conduct subsea intervention tasks using divers. There will also be a requirement to mobilise at short notice for unplanned debris surveys of the pipelines as required.
