Rotterdam signs infrastructure maintenance deals for US$17 million
THE Port of Rotterdam Authority has awarded two contracts worth a combined EUR14 million (US$16.8 million) for the first two years of providing road and landscaping maintenance for the port's dry infrastructure.
One contract covers maintenance of the roads in the port and the other maintenance of the green spaces.
Following a tendering procedure, Van Gelder emerged as the best choice for the road infrastructure. The green spaces will be maintained by BTL. Both contracts run for two years with the potential for them to be extended by eight years.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority manages the various port sites, quays and waterways, and infrastructure facilities such as roads, pipe work and various green spaces. It outsources the maintenance work to contractors.
For the latest maintenance contracts, the port authority said it used a tendering method known as best value procurement. In addition, the port officials decided to use the traditional rationalisation and automation for civil engineering, hydraulic engineering and road engineering (RAW) system for the first two years, subsequently to be succeeded by a performance contract.
"The World Economic Forum hailed the Netherlands [in 2017] as the country with the best port infrastructure in the world for the sixth year running," said Port of Rotterdam Authority chief operations officer Ronald Paul.
"We are therefore delighted that we have been able to select two excellent partners who wish to join us in an innovative procurement system aimed at ensuring a mutually successful partnership."
