Harbour equipment

Tender description

The Council, as Statutory Harbour Authority has a requirement for the supply and emplacement of pontoons at three locations within Salcombe Harbour. Salcombe Harbour is a small harbour in South Devon which is primarily a recreational and leisure port for small boats, many of which are berthed alongside existing Walcon ‘system 21’ pontoons which can be accessed from the shore. These are in Batson Creek and Shadycombe Creek. Demand for such berths exceeds supply and it was recently decided that the number of berths be increased. In addition there are two deep water pontoons at Dentridge and the decision has been taken to replace these with new pontoons. Under this contract the contractors and their supply chains will be required to actively participate in the achievement of the Contracting Authority's social/economic/environmental objectives. Accordingly, contract documents may relate to social/economic/environmental considerations. This tender is for the emplacement of pontoons at three locations within Salcombe Harbour: — 56 m extension of existing pontoons at Batson Creek, — 50 m extension of existing pontoons at Shadycombe Creek, and — Replacement of 2 x 36 m deep water pontoons at Dentridge with 2x 55m pontoons. The successful tenderer will build, deliver, assemble, pile and install the pontoons. The intention is to undertake the works either in February or October 2018.
