Design Project for the Ramal Alfândega Ecopista

This tender is for the 'Design Project' of the 'Ramal Alfândega Ecopista'. An 'Ecopista' (or greenway) is typically a recreational path developed along a former railway line or other disused transport infrastructure, designed for walking, cycling, and other non-motorized activities, often with an emphasis on environmental preservation and tourism. The 'Ramal Alfândega' likely refers to a specific disused railway branch line, possibly near a customs or port area ('Alfândega' means customs house in Portuguese). This tender seeks proposals from qualified engineering and design firms to develop the complete project plans for this ecopista. The scope of work would typically include feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, detailed engineering design (including path surfacing, bridges, tunnels, signage, lighting, and safety features), landscape architecture, and potentially cost estimations and construction supervision planning. The goal is to transform the former railway infrastructure into a sustainable recreational and ecological corridor, promoting active lifestyles and local tourism. The project aims to create a valuable public amenity while repurposing existing infrastructure.

This is a services contract in the construction and civil works, architecture and engineering and transport and logistics sectors, with a focus on Construction Supervision, Architectural Design and Rail Transport. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 19,900.
