LPS CAS - Design, Build, and Installation of a Bridle Footbridge (South Ribble) - RFQ 15291559

The proposed footbridge connects bridleway 37 and bridleway 79 along the south bank of the river Ribble in South Ribble. This is a replacement to the previous footbridge which suffered storm damage in February 2020 and was subsequently demolished.

The footbridge will carry pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders over a tributary of the River Ribble. The bridge geometry is 20m span, 18.2m clear span between supports, 3.5m clear width between parapets and 1.8m parapet height.

The contract will include the design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of the bridge. This includes the provision of suitable bearings and a holding down arrangement. All other work including the installation of foundations and the provision of a working platform for a crane will be carried out by the Authority.

Delivery and installation of the bridge is required by around Nov-Dec 2021. Details of the programme are contained in ITT Appendix 4.
