France – Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis – Etudes de faisabilité pour le développement de nouveaux centres opérationnels bus (COB) (relance)

The services to be performed under this framework agreement aim to enable Île-de-France Mobilités to quickly assess the opportunity to acquire land for the construction of a new bus centre. The expected services are Feasibility Studies on sites identified by Île-de-France Mobilités or the local authorities. The following aspects should be studied: • the feasibility of locating the COB in relation to the site's characteristics, its environment and regulatory constraints (comprehensive site and environment diagnostic (physical, human, natural, landscape, regulatory constraints, etc.) to identify all the advantages and disadvantages of constructing a COB), • the sizing, organisation and integration of the COB (exploitation/maintenance/administration functions; parking capacity; fuelling equipment; maintenance equipment; green spaces; etc). In order to identify the best land opportunities, it may be requested, as part of the same purchase order, to study several sites simultaneously on the same network. These may be either complementary sites (in case of need for several depots on the same network) or sites to be compared in order to choose the best option for the COB. In the latter case, a comparative analysis of the various sites studied is required to enable Île-de-France Mobilités to decide on the site to be selected.
