Brief

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) is planning the procurement of vehicle safety features for all construction and logistics activity involving HGV usage during the Metrolink programme, specifically focusing on Reversing Detection (RD), Blind Side Information Systems (BSIS), and Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS). This is to ensure compliance with EU General Safety Regulations and mitigate risks to vulnerable road users. Suppliers are encouraged to provide input on how to implement these safety systems, especially for HGVs that do not currently meet the standards.

From the notice

  • Metrolink vehicle safety features for all construction and logistics activity involving HGV usage during the programme: • M100 – Advance Works (Land access and clearance, Archaeology, Utilities, environmental monitoring and sewer alignment works). • M300 – Enabling Works (Glasnevin Station, O’Connell Street Station Box, Irish Rail Glasnevin Interface and ESBN HV MV connections). • M400 - Main Civils Works – (M401 Civil Works Southern Section, M402 Civil Works Northern Section). • M500 – DBFOM (Public Private Partnership) for station fit-out, provision of rolling stock and rail systems, commissioning and operation of passenger services. Metrolink will require extensive deployment of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs of all types from 3.5T to >12T) to support a wide range of activities, including deliveries, disposal and site servicing. Given the scale of operations, it is essential to ensure vehicle compliance with the European Union General Safety Regulations (EU GSR) from July 2024. A significant proportion of the HGV fleet in Ireland does not meet these standards, primarily due to manufacture and registration dates prior to July 2024. Although there is no national legal requirement to retrofit legacy vehicles within the Irish fleet, deploying large numbers of HGVs that are not fitted with the latest vehicle safety technology represents a significant hazard to vulnerable road users (both workforce and the general public). This presents an unacceptable risk to the programme which seeks a zero-tolerance approach to vehicle safety, to protect vulnerable road users both on and off various construction sites, zones and public roads. Metrolink and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) have identified three key vehicle safety systems that must be adopted on HGVs in use across the programme, to significantly reduce risks to vulnerable road users and improve overall safety across project sites: • Reversing Detection (RD) • Blind Side Information Systems (BSIS) • Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS) EU Regulation 2019/2144, the General Safety Regulation (GSR), sets mandatory standards for vehicle safety by requiring new vehicles to have advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and meet specific performance criteria. From 2024 all new HGV (N2/N3) must have the following fitted as standard: • Intelligent Speed Assistance • Blind Spot Information System • Advanced Emergency Breaking System • Reversing Detection • Moving Off Information System • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System • Alcohol Interlock Installation Facilitation • Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning

    TII473 MetroLink Programme Steering Committee - External Member Qualification System

    Transport Infrastructure Ireland (the “Authority”) wishes to establish a Qualification System for the procurement of external members of the MetroLink Programme Steering Committee (previously referred to as the MetroLink Delivery Oversight Group), a TII governance entity established to support the governance, oversight and delivery of MetroLink. MetroLink will be a transformative public transport infrastructure project and will be Dublin’s first metro railway. The system will offer a high-capacity, high-frequency metro railway with 16 new stations from Swords to Charlemont. It will interlink with multiple transport networks, including Dublin Airport, Irish Rail, Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART), Dublin Bus, and Luas, promoting a seamlessly integrated transport experience for the Greater Dublin Area. MetroLink due to its scale and complexity, requires governance arrangements which provide clarity on roles and responsibilities, accountability and the framework for effective and efficient decision-making and oversight. The MetroLink Programme Steering Committee is established as part of TII and is accountable to the TII Board. The MetroLink Programme Steering Committee is a governance function and the main decision-making body on functions delegated to it by the TII Board (within delegated authority thresholds) or NTA (if applicable). The purpose of the MetroLink Programme Steering Committee is to: - guide the MetroLink programme through phased development in accordance with applicable requirements and policies with a focus on health and safety, programme, risk management, financial oversight, scope changes and compliance with approvals as issued; - Oversee the development and delivery of MetroLink programme; - and to provide executive oversight and challenge of the programme’s execution and to be the decision-making body on key matters related to MetroLink not reserved for the Approving Authority, Government or TII Board. Given the role of MetroLink Programme Steering Committee and the importance of successful delivery, this key governance entity must have the skills, expertise and capacity required to effectively and efficiently perform its role. The 7-11 members which is to include one representative from TII and NTA each and the Chairperson (also external though being selected through a separate though similar process) will be required to have a collective expertise and experience to perform its duties. In this regard, individuals are being sought to perform the External Member roles to ensure the required (general, technical and commercial) Experience is present. The term of the Qualification System shall be circa twelve (12) years and shall commence in July/August 2025. A candidate may seek admission to this Qualification System at any time during its term. The Qualification System shall be established and maintained by the Authority. Full details of the Qualification System (including its operation) are provided within the Pre-Qualification Documents, which are available to all interested economic operators. All interested economic operators are now invited to submit a Pre-Qualification Submission for admission onto the Qualification System as set out in the Pre-Qualification Documents.
