T25-001CAP Strabane Public Realm Contractors PQQ Application

The project is for the provision of a contractor to undertake Strabane Public Realm Scheme. The scheme will include a number of streets within the town centre boundary as noted below.

The proposed works will include high quality paving, kerbing in natural stone and carriageway realignment and resurfacing. Other works include earthworks, demolition, drainage and the supply and installation of street lighting, utility diversions, signage, street furniture and soft landscaping.

The project will be delivered in a busy town centre environment with restricted streets and footpath widths. Extreme care will have to be taken at all stages of the works to minimise disruption to businesses and maintain the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic flows through the town centre by the appropriate use of temporary traffic and pedestrian management.

The project seeks to improve the quality and usability of a number of important streets, structures and spaces to make the areas more attractive to town centre users and provide a unique sense of place. Strabane public realm is a large project across a busy town centre and multiple spaces with restricted streets and footpath widths.

Streets to be either partially or fully upgraded as part of this project include; • Railway Street • Derry Road • Castle Street • Market Street • Main Street • Butcher Street • Church Street • Bridge Street The project requires high quality interventions that will improve the sense of arrival for visitors, improve connectivity between the main streets and car parks and create attractive civic space within the heart of the town. Excellent stakeholder management will be required with businesses, local communities, and Statutory Bodies including DfI to ensure traffic management plans are agreed for the works and that the completed scheme is accepted.
