Vehicle Crossover Works

A vehicle crossover (VCO), often referred to as a dropped kerb, provides the legal means to access your property using a car or other domestic vehicle. Householders must gain permission by means of a licence from Surrey County Council (SCC) for a VCO. The license allows Surrey residents to create a vehicle crossover but does not give any ownership rights over the payment. The council will still own the pavement and will continue to make all decisions about its maintenance.

  Surrey residents have the option to apply for access to their property. If the site meets the criteria set, then works can be carried out by 3rd party contractors to alter the footway/highway to provide access under a section 184 licence. 

  This project will be required to provide residents with a list of contractors selected by Surrey County Council following an invitation to tender process for a Dynamic Purchasing Scheme in order to carry out vehicle cross overs.   

  This will require a flexible solution to be able to offer Surrey residents a range of contractors to choose from who are local and readily available to take on vehicle crossover construction works.  

  These vehicle crossover works will be commissioned by Surrey Highways on behalf of applicants and residents, as follows;  
  1.    Contractors will be held on list of successful tenders.   
  2.    The list will be supplied to the resident when crossover applications are approved.  
  3.    The resident requests a quote from the contractor.   
  4.    Surrey Highways will raise a contract by way of a works order with the applicant's chosen Contractor detailing the scope of the work required.   
  5.    The resident will be required to pay Surrey the quote and the administration fee.   
  6.    SCC will then make payment to the contractor following successful visual inspection of works and retain the administration fee.  

  Out of scope is the provision/supply of materials to carry out such works - all materials are provided by the contractor.
