Tender assessment underway for pool
By Brendan Grehan
A TENDER assessment process is currently going ahead for the Lucan Swimming pool. At the Lucan area meeting of South Dubln County Council the councillors were given an update on the project.
The Council said that the main contractors stage 2 tender for the Lucan Swimming Pool was published on August 8 last with a closing date for receipt of tenders on Monday, September 24.
This will be followed by a tender assessment process which will take approximately three weeks resulting in a preferred bidder.
An additional tendering process for the associated specialist contracts is also being prepared and should be completed by November 2018.
A report will then be submitted to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport for approval to proceed with the appointment of the contractors to move the project on to the construction phase.
Councillor Paul Gogarty told The Echo: “A while back we were told construction was scheduled for Spring 2020 but the official was not in a position to give an update yet on the number of tenders or the construction timeframe as this depends on the process and full due diligence has to be carried out.
“A fuller report will be made available in November.”
