Relevant project constraints:
- The airport must remain operational during the works with the works being undertaken during night-time possession of the runways.
- It is understood that the island may pose a challenge with regard to availability of suitable aggregate and plant for runway rehabilitation.
- Islay is an extremely popular tourist destination, particularly during the summer months. There is a ferry service to the island, operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, which is often fully booked well in advance of the tourist season and it is expected that access to this ferry service would be extremely limited.
- Plant/equipment and suitable aggregate materials may be required to be imported to Islay, with consideration needed for logistical planning.
- Accommodation is limited on Islay and it is envisaged that the successful tenderer may need to provide temporary accommodation at Islay Airport for their workforce.
- Site Restrictions are referred to within section WI 205 of the Works Information in the Contract (Appendix C).
