SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 17, 2020

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the works to be carried out on the Clondalkin Boardwalk. Can he confirm a start date for the works and can he confirm that this work be treated as a essential priority during the current crisis and also take into consideration that weather is an important factor for the completion of this project?"

REPLY:

With the proximity of the boardwalk to the river and the risk this poses to the contractor, the Consultant Engineer recommended that the work be carried out in the Summer when the water levels and flow rates in the Camac are at their lowest.

The tender process which was planned for the Spring was delayed due to restrictions as result of Covid-19. The Architectural Services Department issued the tender documents to five contractors for pricing on 12^th May. The contractors are due to submit their tenders by 23^rd June.

It is envisaged that on successful completion of this tender process, a contractor will be recommended and appointed to carry out the works in July/August.
