The project will run from December 2015 with a deadline date of 4th July 2016 and must be completed within a budget of £50,000. Consultants must be experts in the field of transport modelling with the ability to provide at least three examples of working on similar projects to a high standard. The study will be undertaken in three stages as follows: Stage 1 – Local revalidation of the West Sussex County Transport Model (WSCTM) for the Arun area to create AM and PM peak flow models applicable to local traffic flows. Stage 2 – Test Development Option Scenarios using a range of model runs to inform the identification of a preferred development option from a transport viewpoint. Stage 2a – A level crossing assessment will be run alongside Stage 2. Stage 3 – Test Preferred Strategy Option, including the identification of suitable mitigation measures which would reduce the impact of development upon the network. This stage requires environmental impact testing; scheme costings; select link analysis and a Stage 1 Safety Audit of mitigation designs to be undertaken by a certified person. The consultants will be required to report back to Arun District Council on a monthly basis. The fee proposal submitted must allow for attendance at four meetings: Study inception (The Council and West Sussex County Council (WSCC)); Model revalidation – discuss any issues arising (The Council, WSCC and Highways England (HE)); Conclusions from Stage 2 and transition to Stage 3 (The Council, WSCC and HE) and; To discuss study conclusions and final report (The Council, WSCC and HE) Prior to submitting a bid, the consultants must identify whether there are any potential conflicts of interests that may impact upon the contract.
