Rutland Street School Refurbishment - Contract Modification Notice (Dublin City Council)

Dublin City Council is issuing a modification notice for the ongoing Rutland Street School refurbishment and redevelopment project in Summerhill, Dublin 1. The project was originally awarded in January 2018 through a mini competition from the Dublin City Council Multi Party Framework Agreement for Architect Led Design Team Services. Nine contract modifications totaling €1,571,694.10 have been approved since the original award. Each modification is compliant with EU Directive 2014/24/EU Article 72, with no single modification exceeding 50% of the original contract value. The modifications were necessary because the level of project management services required significantly exceeded initial expectations, and the project timeline has been extended beyond what could have been reasonably foreseen at tender stage. The modifications address additional works and services that became necessary for reasons of technical interoperability and to avoid significant inconvenience and cost duplication for the contracting authority. This notice documents the cumulative contract changes made to manage the complex nature and prolonged delivery schedule of this major refurbishment project.
