Method Statement 1A and 1B - Investment Programme (Contractual)

Bidders must submit a Method Statement for the development and delivery of an Investment Programme to ensure that all streets are lit to the Relevant Standards set out in the Output Specification by the end of the Core Investment Period. The Method Statement must include:

•  The Bidder's proposed Core Investment Programme and an outline of a clear strategy to demonstrate the order in which the Bidder proposes to carry out the works. The Bidder may select appropriate zones within the Local Authority to illustrate prioritisation of works.

•  Details of six-monthly milestones (i.e. column numbers changed and installed) to enable performance against the Investment Programme to be monitored.

In preparing the Investment Programme, Bidders must note and take into account any known significant transportation projects that the Local Authority as Highway Authority is planning to carry out and which may have the effect of altering or re-aligning the highway at certain locations.  These projects are set out in the Local Transport Plan.
