Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants

Tender description

Pre-construction Services in connection with the redevelopment of Riverside Ice & Leisure Centre. The total value shown below is the fixed budget for preconstruction and construction elements of this opportunity. The contracting authority is seeking to appoint a single contractor to provide pre-construction services, and who may undertake the redevelopment works to Riverside Ice & Leisure Centre at Victoria Road, Chelmsford. The redevelopment works are described within the ITT documents and in summary comprise the construction of a leisure centre with swimming pools and external works, remodelling of existing ice rink and associated area, and demolition of existing leisure centre. Continued under section II.2.4). Additional Description Notes: The pre-construction services shall be subject to the terms of the Pre-Construction Agreement included in the ITT documents, and any subsequent contract for the construction and demolition work shall be substantially in accordance with the terms of the Works contract included in the ITT documents. For the avoidance of doubt, this procurement exercise covers both the Pre-Services and the Works. The successful tenderer will be required to work collaboratively and proactively with the contracting authority, its design team and the project manager to work up the ‘Employer's Requirements’ (including the specification) the Contractor's Proposals (including the CDP Analysis), the Contract Drawings and the Priced Document to arrive at the fixed Contract Sum that does not exceed the contracting authority's budget for the works of 20 000 000 GBP. The contracting authority shall have absolute discretion whether or not to proceed with the Works with or without the contractor appointed to provide the pre-construction services. This requirement is not split into lots: the need to coordinate the different contractors for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of the project. The contracting authority reserves the right (but does not guarantee or give any undertaking) to appoint the second placed contractor as a reserve contractor and to hold the status for 180 days. Further details are described within the ITT documents.
