ACTION 11 Incorporate environmental guidelines
and commitments into public procurement
contracts and ensure effective implementation
In view of all the potential impacts identified and the measures
envisaged, Société du Grand Paris has included a range of
environmental requirements in its contracts with companies
responsible for the works, which, in certain areas, go beyond
the regulatory requirements imposed by the environmental
authorisation permits. These requirements are set out in
the environmental charter for worksites and in the
environmental compliance notice, which are contractual
documents for construction contracts. These documents
set out the actions that contractors must implement on all
worksites together with those that apply only to specific sites
given their particular challenges.
Société du Grand Paris asks contractors to comply with
the ISO 140001 standard when drawing up its operational
environmental protection blueprint, a document required in
the contractor s tender. The blueprint then becomes the
environmental protection plan when work starts on the site.
It provides Société du Grand Paris with information on the
environmental management measures that the contractor
will undertake in order to meet all Société du Grand Paris s
environmental requirements.
In 2010, Société du Grand Paris conducted a strategic
environmental assessment of the Grand Paris Express
covering all environmental challenges. This assessment
was presented during the public debate that culminated
in the launch of the Grand Paris Express project.
Each line has been declared to be of public utility and
has obtained its environmental authorisation allowing
work to start. For each line, Société du Grand Paris has an
impact study, updated as part of the environmental
authorisation applications, that details the project s impacts
on all environmental components in both the construction
and operational phases, along with the avoidance, reduction
and compensation measures planned. To determine the
baseline state of the environment into which the future
metro will be integrated, extensive field data was captured
in relation to the various issues: ecological inventories
(fauna and flora), noise measurements, identification of
vibration-sensitive sites, groundwater and soil sampling
and analysis, etc. The impacts were identified and the
avoidance, reduction and/or compensation measures were
defined based on this information, which was cross-
checked with the characteristics of the project.
