HE1076 Wiltshire Council Machine Surfacing Term Contract

This is a term contract for the delivery of countywide machine surfacing and patching works, supporting highway maintenance, safety repairs, and network improvements to extend asset life and improve road condition and ride quality.

This contract requires the Contractor to plan, coordinate and deliver machine surfacing and patching works across Wiltshire Council’s highway network, including all preparatory activities needed to achieve the required standards for surface quality, texture and skid resistance. The service includes the replacement of road markings and road studs (cats’ eyes), together with the provision of all necessary traffic management.

The works will primarily involve major resurfacing schemes using Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM), Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) and Warm Mix Asphalt products, with Hot Rolled Asphalt and chippings used where required. Smaller-scale machine patching works will also be undertaken to provide permanent repairs to localised carriageway defects.

In addition to resurfacing activities, the Contractor will carry out minor civil engineering works where necessary, such as adjusting or replacing covers and gratings, cleaning drainage systems and undertaking carriageway siding works in advance of resurfacing.

The Contractor is expected to promote innovation and continuous improvement by proposing alternative materials and construction methods that deliver enhanced performance, durability, value for money, carbon reduction and environmental benefits. They must also identify opportunities to minimise disruption to road users and reduce the time spent on site.

The Contractor will programme works to ensure they are delivered safely and evenly across the county throughout the year, while monitoring and reporting the carbon footprint of activities and providing social value commitments aligned with Wiltshire Council’s priorities.
