KW Toll plaza Feasibility Study / Scope

Description

The contracting authority intends to procure specialist consultancy services to undertake a comprehensive feasibility study for the proposed KW Toll Plaza. The study will assess the technical, economic, environmental, and operational viability of implementing a tolling facility at the identified location(s). The appointed supplier will be responsible for delivering a robust evidence-based assessment to inform strategic decision-making and potential subsequent project development. The scope of services is expected to include, but not be limited to: Traffic and Demand Analysis: تقييم current and projected traffic volumes, origin-destination patterns, and revenue potential under different tolling scenarios. Site and Infrastructure Assessment: Review of proposed locations, land requirements, geometric design considerations, and integration with existing road networks. Tolling Strategy and Technology Options: Evaluation of toll collection systems (e.g., barrier-based, free-flow, ANPR), interoperability, and future scalability. Economic and Financial Appraisal: Cost estimation, revenue forecasting, affordability analysis, and value-for-money assessment in line with HM Treasury Green Book principles. Environmental and Social Impact Considerations: High-level assessment of environmental constraints, carbon impacts, and potential social implications. Regulatory and Legal Review: Identification of relevant legislative requirements, policy constraints, and necessary approvals. Risk Assessment: Identification and evaluation of key project risks, including technical, financial, and stakeholder-related risks. Delivery and Phasing Strategy: Outline of potential implementation approaches, procurement options, and indicative timelines. The feasibility study will culminate in a detailed report, including recommendations on the preferred option(s), delivery strategy, and next steps. This procurement aims to appoint a supplier with demonstrable experience in transport infrastructure feasibility studies, tolling systems, and multidisciplinary analysis. The outputs will support the contracting authority in determining whether to proceed to subsequent design, procurement, and delivery stages.
