Buckland Skate Park

Tender description

Buckland is one of the most deprived areas in the South West of England. There is an existing skatepark located at Sandringham Park just off the A380 as you approach Newton Abbot from Exeter and this is the oldest skatepark in the district and in need of a complete replacement due to various reasons of health and safety and community development. The community and many local young people have teamed up with the Town and District Council to raise funds towards a new concrete skatepark that will be designed by the local young people in consultation with the successful Applicant of this Tender. The project will revive and empower a local community that has high levels of anti-social behaviour, low income families, poor health and wellbeing and low motivation to improve their health and physical activity levels for improved quality of life. The location of the proposed new skatepark is within walking distance to the Buckland estate and has easy access to the Town Centre. It is located within the green spaces of Sandringham park near a play park and outdoor gym which is next to the Community Centre and youth club. Community meetings have taken place over the past twelve (12) months with between fifteen (15) and thirty (30) young people and the community, partners and local Councillors to work on the Project and its funding application to Viridor and various other sources. The outcome of this Tender will be to identify and select one (1) Contractor to take the Project forward from consultation to a final design and a completed and installed concrete skatepark, replacing/removing what already exists, to suit the needs of the local young people whilst taking into account a range of ages, abilities and wheels, e.g. scooters, skateboards and BMX. This Tender aims to select a Contractor based upon examples of previous work, financial viability, Health and Safety procedures, skills, experience of working with local authorities and community groups, and expertise to delivering a fully funded project from start to finish within budget. The Applicant is required to provide value for money, use local suppliers where possible, deliver added value, cause minimum disturbance to the community whilst delivering a durable, well designed concrete skatepark that suits the needs of the local young people and adheres to the Authority’s requirements within the Contract. The Applicant must include a breakdown of costs for the Project proposal, including; • consultation and design • dismantle and clearance of the old skatepark equipment that exists • project management and co-ordination costs • labour costs (per day and per hour) • post Installation inspections • building supplies, services and construction • any other considerations.
