Highway A9: Rehabilitation of Basin 451-2 and Removal of Basin 450-2

This French public works tender concerns highway infrastructure maintenance on the A9 in Occitanie. The core tasks involve rehabilitating one basin (451-2) and completely removing another (450-2). Practically, this translates to site preparation including brush clearing (5000 m²), followed by substantial excavation (3600 m³). The rehabilitation will include installing bituminous geomembranes (2600 m²) and constructing a concrete ballast slab (550 m³). Perimeter security will require fencing (350 linear meters).

The single lot nature of the project suggests a straightforward scope of work, consolidating responsibilities under one contractor. The project includes earthworks, waterproofing, and concrete works. The indicated budget is €816,000. The tender period is relatively short, approximately one month, requiring a quick turnaround for bid preparation.

Given the volume of excavation and the geomembrane component, experience with hydraulic works and environmental considerations may be beneficial. Contractors should ensure they possess the necessary certifications and insurance to operate on a French highway. Also consider whether the need to work alongside existing infrastructure poses additional challenges for logistics and safety.
