Kier Highways<\/a> has been awarded a six-month extension from Birmingham Highways Ltd (BHL) on its Birmingham Interim Services Contract (ISC)<\/h2>\n

The contract<\/a>\u00a0was initially due to run for 15 months (with the option to extend) and it includes the city\u2019s traffic operations, planned and reactive maintenance, inspections and winter servicing.<\/p>\n

This contract extension will run until 30 December 2021.<\/p>\n

BHL have exercised their right to trigger the first extension option available under the contract and will consider further extension in the future.<\/p>\n

Work is already underway to procure surveys, extend sub-contracts, identify programmes of work and develop a plan for the delivery of services during the extended period.<\/p>\n

This plan will include aspects of programmed maintenance, including the continuation of street lighting replacement, surfacing works and capital investment.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the contract, 288,533 m2<\/sup>\u00a0of carriageways and nearly 82,476 m2<\/sup>\u00a0of footways have been repaired.<\/p>\n

This was in addition to ongoing management activities, which saw the team inspect 70,792km of roads, as well as installing 1387 new LED street lights and responding to 15,489 customer enquiries.<\/p>\n

Improving Birmingham\u2019s highway services for the future<\/h3>\n

Kevin Hicks, Birmingham City Council\u2019s assistant director for highways and infrastructure, said: \u201cWe have been pleased with Kier\u2019s role in taking over for BHL since April last year, in difficult circumstances with Covid-19 and with a short mobilisation<\/p>\n

Natasha Rouse, chief executive officer of BHL said: \u201cBHL is very pleased to be able to extend the Interim Services Contract with Kier.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur teams have built a truly constructive relationship, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with Kier in improving Birmingham’s transport network<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Incutti, group managing director for highways, added: \u201cWe are thrilled that we have been awarded this extension, and it is testament to the contract teams hard work and expertise in delivering highways services for local authority roads.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to continuing to provide safe and reliable highway services to communities across Birmingham.\u201d<\/p>\n
