The brief

Suffolk County Council wish to award a contract for the build of the Lake Lothing Third Crossing in Lowestoft, Suffolk under the NEC4 ECC Option A form of contract with bespoke Z clauses.

The new crossing will be a multi-span bridge which includes a rolling bascule opening section, a section which will span the existing East Suffolk Line on the North side of the lake.

The new bridge will have a 12 metre air draft height which will enable smaller vessels to pass underneath without an opening.

The new crossing of Lake Lothing will include footway/cycleways on both sides and a control tower inclusive of plant room.

The Council will have completed the Detailed Design for the majority of the crossing with the exception being the MIECA.

The mechanical design element will be completed to Detailed Design but the electrical and hydraulics for the bascule will be completed to Scheme Design.

The successful contractor will be responsible for completing the Detailed Design of these elements.
