Detailed design of the Skibbereen Flood Relief Scheme is currently underway with the recent site investigations providing valuable information to the design team finalising the scheme. The tender process for the procurement of a contractor is due to be commenced very shortly by Cork County Council which is the lead body on the progression and management of the Scheme. The procurement of the contractor is a two stage process with the second stage programmed to take place in mid 2014. Appointment of the contractor is expected to take place towards the end of the year which would allow construction to commence before year end, subject to the necessary Statutory approvals being provided.
