6.13

Where the Independent Architect finds in favour of the Tenant and that the Certificate of Practical Completion should not have issued, then the Landlord shall procure that the items of works identified by the Independent Architect required to be completed shall be remedied as soon as possible and a further joint inspection of the relevant works shall be undertaken and on completion of such works the provisions of Clauses 6.4 to 6.8 shall be repeated mutatis mutandis until the parties agree or the Independent Architect determines that Completion in accordance with this Agreement has been achieved and the date of Completion shall be as agreed or determined in accordance with this Clause.

BETWEEN

(2)

with company registration number and whose registered office is at (“Beneficiary”), (together the “Parties” and each a “Party”).

WHEREAS:

A.

The Employer has entered into a contract dated 2 February 2017 (the “Contract”) with John Paul Construction Limited (the “Contractor”) in respect of certain works (the “Works”) which form part of a commercial mixed use development at 1-6 Sir John Rogerson' s Quay, Dublin 2 (the “Project”).

B.

The Contractor has appointed the Sub-Contractor by an agreement dated the 11th day of November 2016 (the “Sub-Contract”) to carry out certain works forming part of the Works (the “Sub-Contract Works”).

C.

The Beneficiary has agreed to take a lease of part of the Project.

D.

Under the terms of the Sub-Contract, the Sub-Contractor has agreed to enter into this Deed with the Beneficiary.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED between the Beneficiary and the Sub-Contractor that in consideration of the sum of €10.00 now paid by the Beneficiary to the Sub-Contractor (sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) the following warranties and agreements shall have effect:

1.

The Sub-Contractor warrants to the Beneficiary that it has performed and will perform its obligations in respect of the Sub-Contract Works in accordance with the terms of the Sub­ Contract and that it has not broken and shall not break any express or implied terms of the Sub­ Contract.

2.

The Sub-Contractor warrants and undertakes to the Beneficiary that it will exercise all due and proper skill, care and diligence to be expected of a professionally qualified sub-contractor experience in constructing sub-contract works of a similar nature, size, scope and complexity as the Sub-Contract Works in relation to:

 

2.1

the design (to the extent impliedly or expressly required by the Sub-Contract) and the construction of the Sub-Contract Works, including, but not limited to the supervision of all sub-sub-contractors of whatever tier (to such extent as the Sub-Contractor has an obligation to so supervise pursuant to the Sub-Contract or at common law) and

 

2.2

the selection of materials and goods for the Sub-Contract Works, in so far as such goods and materials have been or will be selected by the Sub-Contractor, and

 

2.3

the satisfaction of any performance specifications or requirements in so far as such performance specifications or requirements are included, referred to or implied in the Sub-Contract to ensure the Sub-Contract Works are suitable for the purpose intended, and

 


 

 

2.4

the performance of all other services and duties performed or undertaken or to be performed or undertaken by the Sub-Contractor pursuant to the Sub-Contract.

3.

The Sub-Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Beneficiary against any loss or expense incurred by the Beneficiary as a result of any breach of the provisions of the Sub­ Contract or failure by the Sub-Contractor to comply with the terms thereof or any valid instructions or requirements of the Architect appointed by the Employer or as a result of the termination of the Sub-Contractor's employment under the Sub-Contract.

4.

[Not Used]

5.

The Sub-Contractor shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of proceedings issued after the expiration of 12 (twelve) years from the date of Practical Completion of the Works (as defined in the Contract).

6.

To the extent that design impliedly or expressly forms part of the Sub-Contract, the Sub­ Contractor shall take out before commencing the Sub-Contract Works professional indemnity insurance in an amount of not less than €6,500,000 (six million, five hundred thousand euro) in respect of any one claim or series of claims arising out of any one event for a period commencing now and ending 12 (twelve) years after the date of Practical Completion of the Works provided always that such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable rates and terms. The Sub-Contractor shall notify the Beneficiary if such insurance ceases to be generally available at commercially reasonable rates and terms in order that the Sub-Contractor and the Beneficiary can discuss the best means of protecting their respective interests in respect of the Sub-Contract Works in the absence of such insurance. As and when it is reasonably requested to do so by the Beneficiary, the Sub-Contractor shall produce for inspection documentary evidence that its professional indemnity insurance is being maintained. The terms and conditions of the policy of said insurance shall not include any term or condition to the effect that the Sub-Contractor must discharge any liability before being entitled to recover from its insurers. The Sub-Contractor shall not without the prior written approval of the Beneficiary settle or compromise with the insurers that which relates to a claim by the Beneficiary against the Sub-Contractor or by any act or omission loss or prejudice the Beneficiary's rights to make or proceed with such a claim against the insurer.

7.

The copyright in all drawings, report, specifications, bills of quantities, calculations and other similar documents provided by or on behalf of the Sub-Contractor in connection with the Sub­ Contract Works shall remain vested in the Sub-Contractor, but the Beneficiary and its appointee shall have an irrevocable royalty free licence to copy and use such drawings and other documents and to reproduce the designs contained in them for any purpose relating to the Sub­ Contract Works, including, without limitation, the construction, completion, maintenance, letting, promotion, advertisement, reinstatement and repair of the Sub-Contract Works. The Sub-Contractor shall not be liable for any use by the Beneficiary or its appointee of any drawings and other documents for any purpose other than that for which the same were prepared by or on behalf of the Sub-Contractor.

8.

Without requiring the Sub-Contractor's consent the Beneficiary's rights under this Agreement may be assigned twice, by the Beneficiary to another party and in turn by that party to another without payment of any fee to the Sub-Contractor. Any further assignments shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Sub-Contractor (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Agreement will restrict an assignment of the Beneficiary's interest in this Agreement to any subsidiary, holding company or associated company of the Beneficiary or any funder of the Beneficiary.

 


 

9.

The Sub-Contractor undertakes with and warrants to the Beneficiary that it has not used or specified for use and will not use or specify for use (or permit the use or specification by others) in the construction of the Sub-Contract Works any substances or materials which are not in accordance with Irish Standards or Codes of Practice in so far as they may be applicable or relevant (and if there are no Irish Standards or Codes of Practice then the appropriate British Standards and Codes which shall be applicable or relevant) or any materials or substances known to the building trade or profession at the time of specification to be deleterious to health or safety or the durability or suitability of the Sub-Contract Works in the particular circumstances in which the same is used.

10.

If any dispute, difference or question (a “dispute”) shall at any time hereafter arise between the parties to this Agreement or their respective assigns arising under or in connection with this Agreement, then a party shall deliver by hand or send by certified mail to the other party a notice of dispute in writing adequately identifying and providing details of the dispute. Within 7 (seven) days after the service of the notice of the dispute, the parties shall confer at least once to attempt to resolve the dispute or to agree to methods of resolving the dispute by other means. At any such conference, each party shall be represented by a person having authority to agree to a resolution of the dispute.

11.

If the dispute has not been resolved within 21 (twenty one) days of the service of the notice of dispute, or such other time as may be mutually agreed by the parties prior to the expiry of 21 (twenty one) days of the service of the notice of the dispute, either party shall be able to refer the dispute to arbitration by a person to be agreed between the parties, or, failing agreement between the parties within 14 (fourteen) days of either party having made a request in writing to the other party to concur in the appointment of an arbitrator, a person to be nominated upon the application of either party by the President for the time being of the Engineers Ireland. Every or any such reference shall be deemed to be a submission to Arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitration Act, 2010. Provided always that if the difference or dispute to be referred to arbitration under this Agreement raises issues which are substantially the same as/or connected with issues raised in a related dispute between the Beneficiary and/or the Sub­ Contractor and any third party and if such related dispute has already been referred for determination to an arbitrator or any court the parties agree that the difference or dispute under this Agreement shall be referred to such arbitrator or such court. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties the venue for any such arbitration shall be Dublin.

12.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and, subject to Clauses 10 and 11, the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.

13.

Any notice to be given by the Sub-Contractor hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand at or sent by registered post to the Beneficiary at its address set out above and any notice to be given by the Beneficiary hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand or sent by registered post to the Sub-Contractor at its address set out above, and in the case of any such notices the same shall, if sent by registered post, be deemed to have been received forty eight hours after being posted.

BETWEEN

(2)

● with company registration number ● and whose registered office is at ● (“Beneficiary”), (together the “Parties” and each a “Party”).

WHEREAS:

A.

The Employer has entered into a contract dated 2 February 2017 (the “Contract”) with John Paul Construction Limited (the “Contractor”) in respect of certain works (the “Works”) which form part of a commercial mixed use development at 1-6 Sir John Rogerson' s Quay, Dublin 2 (the Project”).

B.

The Contractor has appointed the Sub-Contractor by an agreement dated the 8th day of September 2016 (the “Sub-Contract”) to carry out certain works forming part of the Works (the “Sub-Contract Works”).

C.

The Beneficiary has agreed to take a lease of part of the Project.

D.

Under the terms of the Sub-Contract, the Sub-Contractor has agreed to enter into this Deed with the Beneficiary.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED between the Beneficiary and the Sub-Contractor that in consideration of the sum of €10.00 now paid by the Beneficiary to the Sub-Contractor (sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) the following warranties and agreements shall have effect:

1.

The Sub-Contractor warrants to the Beneficiary that it has performed and will perform its obligations in respect of the Sub-Contract Works in accordance with the terms of the Sub­ Contract and that it has not broken and shall not break any express or implied terms of the Sub­ Contract.

2.

The Sub-Contractor warrants and undertakes to the Beneficiary that it will exercise all due and proper skill, care and diligence to be expected of a professionally qualified sub-contractor experienced in constructing sub-contract works of a similar nature, size, scope and complexity as the Sub-Contract Works in relation to:

 

2.1

the design (to the extent impliedly or expressly required by the Sub-Contract) and the construction of the Sub-Contract Works, including, but not limited to the supervision of all sub-sub-contractors of whatever tier (to such extent as the Sub-Contractor has an obligation to so supervise pursuant to the Sub-Contract or at common law) and

 

2.2

the selection of materials and goods for the Sub-Contract Works, in so far as such goods and materials have been or will be selected by the Sub-Contractor, and

 

2.3

the satisfaction of any performance specifications or requirements in so far as such performance specifications or requirements are included, referred to or implied in the Sub-Contract to ensure the Sub-Contract Works are suitable for the purpose intended, and

 

2.4

the performance of all other services and duties performed or undertaken or to be performed or undertaken by the Sub-Contractor pursuant to the Sub-Contract.

 


 

3.

The Sub-Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Beneficiary against any loss or expense incurred by the Beneficiary as a result of any breach of the provisions of the Sub­ Contract or failure by the Sub-Contractor to comply with the terms thereof or any valid instructions or requirements of the Architect appointed by the Employer or as a result of the termination of the Sub-Contractor's employment under the Sub-Contract.

4.

[Not Used]

5.

The Sub-Contractor shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of proceedings issued after the expiration of 12 (twelve) years from the date of Practical Completion of the Works (as defined in the Contract).

6.

To the extent that design impliedly or expressly forms part of the Sub-Contract, the Sub­ Contractor shall take out before commencing the Sub-Contract Works professional indemnity insurance in an amount of not less than €6,500,000 (six million, five hundred thousand euro) in respect of any one claim or series of claims arising out of any one event for a period commencing now and ending 12 (twelve) years after the date of Practical Completion of the Works provided always that such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable rates and terms. The Sub-Contractor shall notify the Beneficiary if such insurance ceases to be generally available at commercially reasonable rates and terms in order that the Sub-Contractor and the Beneficiary can discuss the best means of protecting their respective interests in respect of the Sub-Contract Works in the absence of such insurance. As and when it is reasonably requested to do so by the Beneficiary, the Sub-Contractor shall produce for inspection documentary evidence that its professional indemnity insurance is being maintained. The terms and conditions of the policy of said insurance shall not include any term or condition to the effect that the Sub-Contractor must discharge any liability before being entitled to recover from its insurers. The Sub-Contractor shall not without the prior written approval of the Beneficiary settle or compromise with the insurers that which relates to a claim by the Beneficiary against the Sub-Contractor or by any act or omission loss or prejudice the Beneficiary's rights to make or proceed with such a claim against the insurer.

The Sub-Contractor shall not be liable for any use by the Beneficiary or its appointee of any drawings and other documents for any purpose other than that for which the same were prepared by or on behalf of the Sub-Contractor.

8.

Without requiring the Sub-Contractor's consent the Beneficiary's rights under this Agreement may be assigned twice, by the Beneficiary to another party and in turn by that party to another without payment of any fee to the Sub-Contractor. Any further assignments shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Sub-Contractor (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Agreement will restrict an assignment of the Beneficiary's interest in this Agreement to any subsidiary, holding company or associated company of the Beneficiary or any funder of the Beneficiary.

9.

The Sub-Contractor undertakes with and warrants to the Beneficiary that it has not used or specified for use and will not use or specify for use (or permit the use or specification by others) in the construction of the Sub-Contract Works any substances or materials which are not in accordance with Irish Standards or Codes of Practice in so far as they may be applicable or relevant (and if there are no Irish Standards or Codes of Practice then the appropriate British Standards and Codes which shall be applicable or relevant) or any materials or substances known to the building trade or profession at the time of specification to be deleterious to health or safety or the durability or suitability of the Sub-Contract Works in the particular circumstances in which the same is used.

Every or any such reference shall be deemed to be a submission to Arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitration Act, 2010. Provided always that if the difference or dispute to be referred to arbitration under this Agreement raises issues which are substantially the same as/or connected with issues raised in a related dispute between the Beneficiary and/or the Sub­ Contractor and any third party and if such related dispute has already been referred for determination to an arbitrator or any court the parties agree that the difference or dispute under this Agreement shall be referred to such arbitrator or such court. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties the venue for any such arbitration shall be Dublin.

12.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and, subject to Clauses 10 and 11, the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.

13.

Any notice to be given by the Sub-Contractor hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand at or sent by registered post to the Beneficiary at its address set out above and any notice to be given by the Beneficiary hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand or sent by registered post to the Sub-Contractor at its address set out above, and in the case of any such notices the same shall, if sent by registered post, be deemed to have been received forty eight hours after being posted.

BETWEEN

JOHN PAUL CONSTRUCTION LIMITED with company registration number 361432 and whose registered office is at Dundrum Business Park, Dundrum, Dublin 14 (the “Contractor”); and

2.

● with  company  registration  number ● and  whose registered   office is at ● (the “Beneficiary”), (together the “Parties” and each a “Party”).

WHEREAS:

A.

Hibernia REIT Public Limited Company (the Employer”) has entered into a contract dated 2 February 2017 (the “Contract”) with the Contractor in respect of certain works (the “Works”) which form part of a commercial mixed use development at 1 – 6 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2 (the “Project”).

B.

The Beneficiary has agreed to take a lease of part of the Project.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED between the Beneficiary and the Contractor that in consideration of the sum of €10.00 now paid by the Beneficiary to the Contractor (sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) the following warranties and agreements shall have effect:

1.

The Contractor warrants to the Beneficiary that it has performed and will perform its obligations in respect of the Works in accordance with the terms of the Contract and that it has not broken and shall not break any express or implied terms of the Contract.

2.

The Contractor warrants and undertakes to the Beneficiary that it will exercise all due and proper skill, care and diligence to be expected of a professionally qualified contractor experienced in constructing works of a similar nature, size, scope and complexity as the Works in relation to:

 

2.1

the design (to the extent impliedly or expressly required by the Contract) and the construction of the Works, including, but not limited to the supervision of all sub­ contractors of whatever tier (to such extent as the Contractor has an obligation to so supervise pursuant to the Contract or at common law) and

 

2.2

the selection of materials and goods for the Works, in so far as such goods and materials have been or will be selected by the Contractor, and

 

2.3

the satisfaction of any performance specifications or requirements in so far as such performance specifications or requirements are included, referred to or implied in the Contract to ensure the Works are suitable for the purpose intended, and

 

2.4

the performance of all other services and duties performed or undertaken or to be performed or undertaken by the Contractor pursuant to the Contract.

3.

[Not Used].

 


 

4.

The Contractor shall owe a duty of care to the Beneficiary in respect of such matters provided that the Contractor shall owe no greater duty of care to the Beneficiary under this Agreement than it would have done if the Beneficiary had been named in substitution for the Employer in the Contract. The Contractor shall be entitled in any action or proceedings by the Beneficiary to rely on any term in the Contract and to raise the equivalent rights in defence as it would have under the Contract as if the Beneficiary had been named joint employer under the Contract and such claim had been brought thereunder (save in relation to set off and counter claim).

5.

The Contractor shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of proceedings issued after the expiration of 12 (twelve) years from the date of Practical Completion of the Works (as defined in the Contract).

6.

The copyright in all drawings, report, specifications, bills of quantities, calculations and other similar documents provided by or on behalf of the Contractor in connection with the Works shall remain vested in the Contractor, but the Beneficiary and its appointee shall have an irrevocable royalty free licence to copy and use such drawings and other documents and to reproduce the designs contained in them for any purpose relating to the Works, including, without limitation, the construction, completion, maintenance, letting, promotion, advertisement, reinstatement and repair of the Works. The Contractor shall not be liable for any use by the Beneficiary or its appointee of any drawings and other documents for any purpose other than that for which the same were prepared by or on behalf of the Contractor.

7.

[Not Used].

8.

Without requiring the Contractor’s consent the Beneficiary’s rights under this Agreement may be assigned twice, by the Beneficiary to another party and in turn by that party to another without payment of any fee to the Contractor. Any further assignments shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Contractor (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Agreement will restrict an assignment of the Beneficiary’s interest in this Agreement to any subsidiary, holding company or associated company of the Beneficiary or any assignment by way of security to a funder of the Beneficiary.

9.

The Contractor undertakes with and warrants to the Beneficiary that it has not used or specified for use and will not use or specify for use (or permit the use or specification by others) in the construction of the Works any substances or materials which are not in accordance with Irish Standards or Codes of Practice in so far as they may be applicable or relevant (and if there are no Irish Standards or Codes of Practice then the appropriate British Standards and Codes which shall be applicable or relevant) or any materials or substances known to the building trade or profession at the time of specification to be deleterious to health or safety or the durability or suitability of the Works in the particular circumstances in which the same is used.

10.

The Contractor (and any design consultant or sub-contractor with design responsibility retained by the Contractor in connection with the Works) shall maintain professional indemnity insurance in an amount of not less than €10,000,000 (ten million euro) for each and every claim for a period commencing now and ending 12 (twelve) years after the date of Practical Completion of the Works. As and when it is reasonably requested to do so by the Beneficiary, the Contractor shall produce for inspection documentary evidence that its (and its consultants' or sub-contractors’) professional indemnity insurance is being maintained. The Contractor shall as soon as practicable notify the Beneficiary in the event of cancellation, non-renewal or of any material reduction in the insurance cover and shall enter into discussions with the Beneficiary as to how best to protect their respective interests at the cost of the Contractor.

 


 

11.

If any dispute, difference or question (a “dispute”) shall at any time hereafter arise between the parties to this Agreement or their respective assigns arising under or in connection with this Agreement, then a party shall deliver by hand or send by certified mail to the other party a notice of dispute in writing adequately identifying and providing details of the dispute. Within 7 (seven) days after the service of the notice of the dispute, the parties shall confer at least once to attempt to resolve the dispute or to agree to methods of resolving the dispute by other means.

At any such conference, each party shall be represented by a person having authority to agree to a resolution of the dispute.

12.

If the dispute has not been resolved within 21 (twenty one) days of the service of the notice of dispute, or such other time as may be mutually agreed by the parties prior to the expiry of 21 (twenty one) days of the service of the notice of the dispute, either party shall be able to refer the dispute to arbitration by a person to be agreed between the parties, or, failing agreement between the parties within 14 (fourteen) days of either party having made a request in writing to the other party to concur in the appointment of an arbitrator, a person to be nominated upon the application of either party by the President for the time being of Engineers Ireland. Every or any such reference shall be deemed to be a submission to Arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitration Act, 2010. Provided always that if the difference or dispute to be referred to arbitration under this Agreement raises issues which are substantially the same as/or connected with issues raised in a related dispute between the Beneficiary and/or the Contractor and any third party and if such related dispute is to be or has already been referred for determination to an arbitrator or any court the parties agree that the difference or dispute under this Agreement shall be referred to such arbitrator or such court. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties the venue for any such arbitration shall be Dublin.

13.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and, subject to Clauses 11 and 12, the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.

14.

Any notice to be given by the Contractor hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand at or sent by registered post to the Beneficiary at its address set out above and any notice to be given by the Beneficiary hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given if it is delivered by hand or sent by registered post to the Contractor at its address set out above, and in the case of any such notices the same shall, if sent by registered post, be deemed to have been received forty eight hours after being posted.

5.

APPENDIX 1

DCC Protocol

Following the receipt of multiple complaints relating to large scale commercial development sites in or adjacent to the Dublin Docklands Area relating to;

 

1.

Alleged breaches of standard permitted working hours, excessive noise and dust levels, dirt and debris on approach roads, damage to surrounding footpaths, illegal parking, lack of courtesy from contractors and sub contractors to  residents in the vicinity.

 

2.

Alleged excessive hours of work extensions being sought by contractors and granted by Dublin City Council which is allegedly causing undue disruption to the lives of residents in the vicinity of certain sites in the area.

The following updated draft protocol has been produced (with reference to the London Good Practice Guide: Noise and Vibration Control for Demolition and Construction produced by the London Authorities Noise Action Forum, July 2016) to alleviate/mitigate some of the issues that are being raised by existing residents in or adjacent to the Docklands Area.

1.

General Considerations  

 

All site staff shall be briefed on noise mitigation measures and the application of best practicable means to be employed to control noise.

All sites

Site hoarding should be erected to maximise the reduction in noise levels

All sites

The contact details of the contractor and site manager shall be displayed to the public, together with the permitted operating hours, including any special permissions given for out of hours work

All sites

The site entrance shall be located to minimise disturbance to noise sensitive receptors

All sites

Internal haul routes shall be maintained and steep gradients shall be avoided

All sites

Material and plant loading and unloading shall only take place during normal working hours unless the requirement for extended hours is for traffic management(i.e road closure) or health and reasons(application must be made to DCC a minimum of 4 days prior to proposed works)

All sites

Use rubber linings in chutes, dumpers and hoppers to reduce impact noise

All sites

Minimise opening and shutting of gates through good coordination of deliveries and vehicle movements

All sites

No materials shall be burned on site

All sites

Adequate dust/debris screening should be in place at the site boundary to contain and minimise the amount of windblown dust. This must be maintained in good condition at all times.

All sites

All consignments containing material with the potential to cause air pollution being transported by skips, lorries, trucks or tippers must be covered during transit on and off site.  

All sites

12


 

The site shall be dampened down as necessary to minimise windblown dust when necessary or during periods of dry weather.

All sites

Dust suppression equipment must be used when point source emissions are likely.

All sites

The entry and exit points to the site should be constructed of hard standing which is regularly dampened to minimise dust emissions.

All sites

 

2.

Plant

 

Ensure that each item of plant and equipment complies with the noise limits quoted in the relevant European Commission Directive 2000/14/EC

All sites

Fit all plant and equipment with appropriate mufflers or silencers of the type recommended by the manufacturer

All sites

Use all plant and equipment only for the tasks for which it has been designed

All Sites

Shut down all plant and equipment in intermittent use in the intervening periods between work or throttle down to a minimum

All sites

Power all plant by mains electricity where possible rather than generators

All sites

Maximise screening from existing features or structures and employ the use of partial or full enclosures for fixed plant

All sites

Locate movable plant away from noise sensitive receptors where possible

All sites

 

3.

Vehicle activity

 

Ensure all vehicle movement (on site) occur within normal working hours. (other than where extension of work requiring such movements has been granted in cases of required road closures or for health and    safety reasons )

Rubber/neoprene or similar non-metal lining material matting to line the inside of material transportation vehicles to avoid first drop high noise levels.

All sites

Wheel washing of vehicles prior to exiting the site shall take place to ensure that adjoining roads are kept clean of dirt and debris. Regular washing of adjoining streets should also take place as required by road sweepers

All sites

 

4.

Demolition Phase

 

Employ the use of acoustic screening; this can include planning the demolition sequence to utilise screening afforded by buildings to be demolished.

All sites

If working out of hours for Health and Safety reasons (following approval by DCC) limit demolition activities to low level noise activity unless absolutely unavoidable)

All sites

13


 

Use low impact demolition methods such as non-percussive plant where practicable

All sites

Use rotary drills and ‘bursters’ activated by hydraulic or electrical power or chemically based expansion compounds to facilitate fragmentation and excavation of hard material.

All sites

Avoid the transfer of noise and vibration from demolition activities to adjoining occupied buildings through cutting any vibration transmission path or by structural separation of buildings

All sites

Consider the removal of larger sections by lifting them out and breaking them down either in an area away from sensitive receptors or off site.

All sites

 

5.

Ground Works and Piling Phase

 

The following hierarchy of groundwork/piling methods should be used if ground conditions, design and safety allows;

     pressed in methods, e.g., hydraulic jacking

     Auger/bored piling

     Diaphragm walling

     Vibratory piling or vibro-replacement

     Driven Piling or dynamic consolidation

All sites

The location and layout of the piling plant should be designed to minimise potential noise impact of generators and motors

Where impact piling is the only option utilise a non-metallic dolly between the hammer and driving helmet or enclose the hammer and helmet with an acoustic shroud

All sites

Consider concrete pour sizes and pump locations. Plan the start of concrete pours as early as possible to avoid overruns

All sites

Where obstructions are encountered, work should be stopped and a review undertaken to ensure that work methods that minimise noise are used.

All sites

When using an auger piling rig do not dislodge material from the auger by rotating it back and forth. Use alternate methods where safe to do so.

All sites

Prepare pile caps using methods which minimise the use of breakers, e.g., use hydraulic splitters to crack the top of the pile.

All sites

 

6.

Monitoring

 

Establish pre-existing levels of ambient noise by baseline monitoring or use of the noise maps.

All sites

Carry out regular on site observation monitoring and checks/audits to ensure that BPM is being used at all times. Such checks shall include;

SITE ACCESS AND LOGISTICS

Prior to commencement on site the contractor will arrange for the undertaking of a detailed photographic condition survey in all areas requiring a contractor/Landlord interface.

Access to the basement will be permitted via the vehicular ramp of The Observatory Building, off Windmill Lane. The contractor must provide a stationary security guard at the basement access and on the Creighton Street goods lift entrance who will be responsible for security access into the Basement and goods lift.  This stationary security guard must be present at all times while contractors are on site.  The contractor should note that this is a shared basement with an existing fully occupied building.  

17


 

The contractor will be responsible for all traffic management in and out of the basement during the fit-out.  The contractor will submit a list of vehicles for approval that will be allowed to park in the building’s car-park.  The contractor will be responsible for ensuring that a proper dilapidation survey of the basement is carried out prior to fit-out and is responsible for ensuring that is returned to the Landlord as it was received.   The contractor will be responsible for traffic management on Creighton street & Windmill Lane around all deliveries to the site.  Trucks or vans are not permitted to park on the footpaths at any time. The maximum head height on the basement ramp is 2.1m.

The Landlord will allow access to all floors via the goods lift, from the basement goods lift lobby and the Creighton Street loading bay only. This lift and its surrounds will require careful protection to avoid any damage to it during fit out works and the fit-out contractor’s RAMS should note specifically what items it is intended to transport in this lift. This lift has a SWL of 1600kg and the door opening will not facilitate standard 2.4m x 1.2m sheets of plasterboard or plywood.

The contractor will be permitted to access the 4th and 5th floors of the building via a goods hoist on to the balconies of these floors subject to the contractor securing all necessary permits from the relevant authorities and satisfying all necessary traffic management conditions.

The contractor will not be permitted to remove any of the glazing or brise soleil from any façade of the building under any circumstances.

The contractor will be issued with 50 access cards all of which will be returned on completion. The contractor will be charged for cards which are not returned.

The contractor will be required to co-operate with the Landlord if they need access to any floor to undertake any minor post commissioning checking or snagging to Landlord riser shafts. The contractor should note that they will not have exclusive access to, or control of the building during their fit-out period as other fit outs may be under way concurrently.

All lights must be switched off at the end of each working day. The contractor will be responsibility for the security of the building.

The site supervisor must sign out with the building’s security at the end of each day when all contractors have left the floors.

5.

WELFARE FACILITIES

Fit out contractors will be permitted to use the toilets on the ground floor only following a detailed dilapidation survey and the fitting of appropriate levels of protection.

Fit out contractors will be fully responsible for the cleaning and maintaining of the toilets.  

Use of the disabled toilet and adjacent cleaners store is prohibited.

The provision of a compound in the basement will be permitted. Every effort should be made to transfer materials to their respective floors from the outset to help minimise the area required at basement level. Clarification is required from the contractor as to how they will protect the newly painted basement floor from damage.

6.

Temporary power connection

On the day of the handover of the tenant floors a joint meter reading will be taken and the Landlord’s electrical account for the building will be transferred into the contractor’s name.

All tenant distribution boards supplying power to the building floors have been tested and commissioned and left isolated as per RECI guidelines. The provision of temporary power will be a contractor responsibility.

EXECUTION VERSION

Appendix 5

 

DCC Protocol

 

 

Following the receipt of multiple complaints relating to large scale commercial development sites in or adjacent to the Dublin Docklands Area relating to;

 

 

1.

Alleged breaches of standard permitted working hours, excessive noise and dust levels, dirt and debris on approach roads, damage to surrounding footpaths, illegal parking, lack of courtesy from contractors and sub-contractors to  residents in the vicinity.

 

 

2.

Alleged excessive hours of work extensions being sought by contractors and granted by Dublin City Council which is allegedly causing undue disruption to the lives of residents in the vicinity of certain sites in the area.

 

The following updated draft protocol has been produced (with reference to the London Good Practice Guide: Noise and Vibration Control for Demolition and Construction produced by the London Authorities Noise Action Forum, July 2016) to alleviate/mitigate some of the issues that are being raised by existing residents in or adjacent to the Docklands Area.

 

1.

General Considerations  

 

All site staff shall be briefed on noise mitigation measures and the application of best practicable means to be employed to control noise.

 

All sites

Site hoarding should be erected to maximise the reduction in noise levels

 

All sites

The contact details of the contractor and site manager shall be displayed to the public, together with the permitted operating hours, including any special permissions given for out of hours work

 

All sites

The site entrance shall be located to minimise disturbance to noise sensitive receptors

 

All sites

Internal haul routes shall be maintained and steep gradients shall be avoided

 

All sites

Material and plant loading and unloading shall only take place during normal working hours unless the requirement for extended hours is for traffic management(i.e road closure) or health and reasons(application must be made to DCC a minimum of 4 days prior to proposed works)

 

All sites

Use rubber linings in chutes, dumpers and hoppers to reduce impact noise

 

All sites

Minimise opening and shutting of gates through good coordination of deliveries and vehicle movements

 

All sites

No materials shall be burned on site

 

All sites

Adequate dust/debris screening should be in place at the site boundary to contain and minimise the amount of windblown dust. This must be maintained in good condition at all times.

 

All sites

All consignments containing material with the potential to cause air pollution being transported by skips, lorries, trucks or tippers must be covered during transit on and off site.  

 

All sites

The site shall be dampened down as necessary to minimise windblown dust when necessary or during periods of dry weather.

 

All sites

1


 

Dust suppression equipment must be used when point source emissions are likely.

 

All sites

The entry and exit points to the site should be constructed of hard standing which is regularly dampened to minimise dust emissions.

 

All sites

 

2.

Plant

 

Ensure that each item of plant and equipment complies with the noise limits quoted in the relevant European Commission Directive 2000/14/EC

 

All sites

Fit all plant and equipment with appropriate mufflers or silencers of the type recommended by the manufacturer

 

All sites

Use all plant and equipment only for the tasks for which it has been designed

 

All Sites

Shut down all plant and equipment in intermittent use in the intervening periods between work or throttle down to a minimum

 

All sites

Power all plant by mains electricity where possible rather than generators

 

All sites

Maximise screening from existing features or structures and employ the use of partial or full enclosures for fixed plant

 

All sites

Locate movable plant away from noise sensitive receptors where possible

 

All sites

 

3.

Vehicle activity

 

Ensure all vehicle movement (on site) occur within normal working hours. (other than where extension of work requiring such movements has been granted in cases of required road closures or for health and    safety reasons )

 

All sites

Plan deliveries and vehicle movements  so that vehicles are not waiting or queuing on the public highway, if unavoidable engines should be turned off  

 

All sites

Minimise the opening and closing of the site access through good coordination of deliveries and vehicle movements

 

All sites

Plan the site layout to ensure that reversing is kept to a minimum

 

All sites

Where reversing is required use broadband reverse sirens or where it is safe to do so disengage all sirens and use banks-men

 

All sites

Rubber/neoprene or similar non-metal lining material matting to line the inside of material transportation vehicles to avoid first drop high noise levels.

 

All sites

Wheel washing of vehicles prior to exiting the site shall take place to ensure that adjoining roads are kept clean of dirt and debris. Regular washing of adjoining streets should also take place as required by road sweepers

 

All sites

 

4.

Demolition Phase

 

Employ the use of acoustic screening; this can include planning the demolition sequence to utilise screening afforded by buildings to be demolished.

 

All sites

If working out of hours for Health and Safety reasons (following approval by DCC) limit demolition activities to low level noise activity unless absolutely unavoidable)

 

All sites

Use low impact demolition methods such as non-percussive plant where practicable

 

All sites

Use rotary drills and ‘bursters’ activated by hydraulic or electrical power or chemically based expansion compounds to facilitate fragmentation and excavation of hard material.

 

All sites

Avoid the transfer of noise and vibration from demolition activities to adjoining occupied buildings through cutting any vibration transmission path or by structural separation of buildings

 

All sites

Consider the removal of larger sections by lifting them out and breaking them down either in an area away from sensitive receptors or off site.

 

All sites

2


 

 

5.

Ground Works and Piling Phase

 

The following hierarchy of groundwork/piling methods should be used if ground conditions, design and safety allows;

   pressed in methods, e.g., hydraulic jacking

   Auger/bored piling

   Diaphragm walling

   Vibratory piling or vibro-replacement

   Driven Piling or dynamic consolidation

 

All sites

The location and layout of the piling plant should be designed to minimise potential noise impact of generators and motors

 

All sites

Where impact piling is the only option utilise a non-metallic dolly between the hammer and driving helmet or enclose the hammer and helmet with an acoustic shroud

 

All sites

Consider concrete pour sizes and pump locations. Plan the start of concrete pours as early as possible to avoid overruns

 

All sites

Where obstructions are encountered, work should be stopped and a review undertaken to ensure that work methods that minimise noise are used.

 

All sites

When using an auger piling rig do not dislodge material from the auger by rotating it back and forth. Use alternate methods where safe to do so.

 

All sites

Prepare pile caps using methods which minimise the use of breakers, e.g., use hydraulic splitters to crack the top of the pile.

 

All sites

 

6.

Monitoring

 

Establish pre-existing levels of ambient noise by baseline monitoring or use of the noise maps.

 

All sites

Carry out regular on site observation monitoring and checks/audits to ensure that BPM is being used at all times. Such checks shall include;

   Hours of work

   Presence of mitigation measures

   Number and type of plant

   Construction methods

Site reviews must be recorded and made available for inspection

 

All sites

Monitor noise continuously during demolition, piling, excavation and sub and superstructure works at agreed locations and report to DCC at agreed intervals

 

All sites

Appraise and review working methods, processes and procedures on a regular basis to ensure continuous development of BPM

 

All sites

The ‘ABC’ Method detailed in Paragraph E.3.2 of BS 5228-1:2009 shall be used to determine acceptable noise levels for day, evening and night time work.

 

All sites

Appropriate dust suppression must be employed to prevent fugitive emissions affecting those occupying neighbouring properties or pathways

 

All sites

Street and footpath cleaning must be undertaken during the demolition and ground works phase to minimise dust emissions

 

All sites

Continuous dust monitoring along the site boundary should be undertaken during any demolition or ground works

 

All sites

7.

Communication and Liaison

 

A Community Liaison Plan should be developed by the developer in consultation with local residents/businesses  and a single point of contact nominated to engage with Dublin City Council and the residents/businesses and to handle complaints and communication of  site information

 

All sites

Contact details for the site manager and liaison officer should be displayed prominently on the site hoarding

 

All sites

All site staff should be briefed on the complaints procedure and mitigation requirements and their responsibilities to register and escalate complaints received.

 

All sites

Send regular updates at appropriate intervals to all identified affected neighbours/ businesses via a newsletter and post relevant information on the site hoarding. Also make the information available via email/website

 

All sites

Arrange regular community liaison meetings at appropriate intervals (including prior to commencement of the project in the future).

 

All sites

Meet regularly with neighbouring construction sites to ensure activities are coordinated to minimise any potential cumulative issues.

 

All sites

 

8.

Extensions of Working Hours in exceptional circumstances

 

Ensure at least 4 days’ notice is given to Dublin City Council when applying for extensions to normal working hours. Do not undertake out of hours work unless permission to do so has been granted.

 

All sites

The applicant must demonstrate in writing that the works required cannot be carried out during normal working hours. The documentation sent in must be accompanied by a detailed engineering or traffic management or safety case as to why the works are required outside normal hours.

Asset Model

The Hibernia REIT plc asset information model will deliver to the client a digital 3D model of the as built project. The Asset Information Model will be delivered as an intergrade system with the digital safety file using the DFM system. This will comprise of a fully federated 3D model with all assets / objects fully linked back to the digital safety file. Information will be readily accessible from either the 3D model or via the digital safety file data base with detailed searchable meta data. Together with the DFM user interface we will be delivering the native model files in a number of industry standard file formats along with COBie spreadsheet information. Hibernia REIT plc Construction and DFM will engage with the Hiebernia Reit Facility management team to identify the critical information that is important to them and will proved value during the facility management stage of the building.

 

The asset information model can be easily interrogated by designers and contractors using drafting tools. After Construction handover, this model can go on to assist in further design alterations and coordination of tenant fit out. The Asset model is a federation of multiple models derived from various disciplines at construction stage. Each modelled element will be modelled in it as-built position and contain data regarding its properties. The Sir John Rogerson Quay Asset model will be built from the following models:

 

 

»

The Mechanical Model. Originated from designers JVT Tierney’s, coordinated and populated with product specific information during construction stage by sub-contractor T.Bourke & Company.

 

 

 

»

The Electrical Model. Originated from designers JVT Tierney’s, coordinated and populated with product specific information during construction stage by sub-contractor Designer Group.

Information

Experience has shown that service life lost due to poor maintenance is irreversible and, so we will put a lot of care and attention into ensuring that we delivered a fully populated Asset Information Model

(AIM), complete with a schedule of all warranties and maintenance tasks for everything in the building and not just the main plant items (managed assets). This included an integrated 3D model of the building which allows the maintenance team to view areas of the building or items of plant in a virtual model and see all information needed about the area or item such as O&M manuals, service records, spare parts lists etc – it will even tell them the colour of the paint on the wall if that is what they are interested in. Model information includes both relevant text data and geometry data.

 

2.1

Model Geometry information

Geometry data refers to the objects in the model being dimensionally accurate to the physical asset, it will show connections such as electric/water/air inlets/outlets. Product materials will be captured within the model element.

Example: Below image of Virtual hand dryer and sample of actual hand dryer that will be used on the 1SJRQ project. The model is scaled to the same dimensions as physical hand dryer and shows where the electrical connection point (Green Target) is without having to review data sheet or investigate onsite.

Model Text Information

 

2.2.1

Product information

Asset information shall be tracked and managed with the use of master asset registers, product data sheets, and COBie Spreadsheets. Uniclass codes and codes will be used to classify all assets and relevant product sheets will be collated using the NBS tool Kit. Information will be collected throughout the course of the project as assets pass through the technical approval process. The development of asset information will be tracked on a master asset register and will be audited on regular intervals to ensure quality of the information is maintained.

 

HIBERNIA REIT PLC will carry out monthly meetings to review the development of asset information, LOI within the 3D models and conduct monthly audits to validate and check the information as it is received. Various BIM Tools will be utilised to validate and check asset information and 3D models such as Revit Model Checker, Solibre model checker and other COBie validating software tools.

 

Our procurement process for the engagement of subcontractors and suppliers will also include BIM level 2 clauses to ensure the requirements for BIM and issuing of product information forms part of their scope of works and contractual requirements. We ensure that BIM requirements and mind set is nurtured throughout the entire process.

HIBERNIA REIT PLC will provided a minimum of the following parameters populated with information where the information is available.

General information relating to the model is included in the project information. This includes: description of the project, project coordinates, details of model originators, project units and classifications as well as a list of suppliers.

 

 

2.3

COBie Information

 

The product and project information supplied in the model will be mapped/populated to COBie parameters fields and exported to a Microsoft excel format. These COBie spreadsheet makes it possible for the model information to be shared to other software.

The DFM system can also be utilised to federate the COBie information derived from each of the various discipline models this will then be imported into the DFM digital system and the associated linked documents to all of the assets will be synchronised and imported into the federated COBie information. This is unique to this system and greatly increases the value and level of information contained with the COBie spread sheets

The DFM Safety file features Life Cycle Asset Information module which can be used to produce forecasts and reports on the maintenance and capital replacement costs of the facility over the next 20 or 25 years – this information can even be made available prior to handover.
