  1. Scottish Experience in Procurement and EIA of Roads EIA and Early Market Involvement IAIA 2007

  2. Purpose of Presentation How does the procurement of trunk roads affect EIA in Scotland?

  3. Outline • planning and design process • design & construction process • EIA • issues & examples • way forward

  4. planning construction operation design maintenance Transport Scotland’s responsibilitiesTrunk Road Network

  5. corridors identify problem Stage 1 identify potential solutions routes Stage 2 compare options scoping simple EIA detailed EIA Stage 3 preferred route PLANNING PROCESS (DMRB) publish draft Orders & Environmental Statement

  6. EIA requirements • required by legislation and procedure • key issues: • EIA throughout planning and design • legislative requirement at consent stage

  7. Procurement methods • Design and Build • Design, Build, Finance and Operate • value for money • encourage innovation • transfer of risk • avoid prescriptive design • output specifications • contractual-based

  8. Outline Design Consent Procedures Public Local Inquiry Specimen Design & Contract Documents D& B process consultation negotiation Tender Process Design & Construction

  9. Issues for EIA: planning & design • commitment to level of detail: • avoid prescriptive design • scheme assumptions in ES: illustrative • definition of mitigation in ES: inputs vs outcomes • ES: contract implications strategic

  10. Issues for EIA: design & construction • design changes • is the ES still valid? • need to re-consult? • mitigation: implementing commitments • do environmental controls work? • Employer’s Requirements • environmental commitments • consultation requirements • Environmental Management Systems

  11. Environmental Performance Requirements • noise levels can be specified and outcomes measured • output specification for planting • 60% to reach not less than 1.5 metre after Year 3 • issue: only 60% planted

  12. Badger Tunnel • Environmental controls: • specification for badger fencing • employment of badger specialist • Environmental Management System • issue: entrances not best placed for tunnel use • rectified

  13. Badger Fencing • ES identified badger presence • mitigation principles identified • "consult and comply“ with environmental bodies • third-party responsibility • issues:- practicality - value for money

  14. Solutions • planning and design: • strategic approach to EIA • design & construction: • learn from experience • raise awareness (client, contractor, third parties) • experiment with contract models • landscape planting specification (measure & value)
