170da3e7-20d3-486b-a686-250db79f3f53-832864The Road Asset Renewal Contract (RARC) focuses on asset management and serves as the principal delivery method for planned road pavement renewal and reconstruction works across Kent. \\r\r \\r\r These works are required to effectively manage the pavement assets by replacing deteriorated areas which have reached the end of their useful life. Preservation works are also carried out to prolong the life of areas which are starting to deteriorate. These works are critical to KCC's effective asset management and maintenance of its road network.\\r\r \\r\r The renewal schemes typically delivered via this contract range from small resurfacing schemes to large reconstruction works which completely replace the failed road structure and foundations.\\r\r The scope of work at each site typically involves:\\r\r • Cold milling of the top layers of the road structure\\r\r • Repaving with an asphalt surface and/or binder course\\r\r • Adjustments to covers and replacement of road markings and road studs as needed.\\r\r \\r\r For sites near traffic signals, there may be a need to replace the traffic loops. Anticipated working conditions include road closures and night-time operations, with defined time restrictions in place.\\r\r \\r\r The scope of work under this contract also includes some ad-hoc road reconstruction and other civils works, schemes, and projects.\\r\r \\r\r Alongside these routine works, occasional specialist works will be needed to respond to and repair unpredictable asset failures, such as road collapses. It may also include small to medium sized civils works, schemes, and projects.\\r\r This contract will not be lotted. The Council is seeking one contractor to deliver works across all districts in Kent.\\r\r \\r\r Work is not guaranteed within the contract; however, the expected annual value for this contract is expected to be in the region of £20-25million. The expected total contract value for this contract equates to an expected £200-250million. This is broken down as follows:\\r\r • Initial Term (5 years, or 60 months) totalling £100-125 million.\\r\r • Optional Extension Term (up to 5 years, or 60 months) totalling £100-125 million.\\r\r \\r\r However, to allow for any future increases in government or KCC funding, any future inflation, and any other unexpected but in-scope spend, the total maximum contract value will be advertised as £400m.\\r\r \\r\r The 120-month (10-year) Total Contract Term will be broken down as follows:\\r\r - Initial Contract Term: 60-Months (5-years) expected start date of 01 April 2025\\r\r - Optional Contract Extension: This will be a maximum of 60-months (5-years). The Council expects that the optional extension(s) will be structured as 36 + 24 months (3 + 2 years). However, the Council reserves the right to opt for the extension in individual one-year increments, multiple single yearly periods, or as the entire 5-year duration.\\r\r
