Nant Peris Bus Shelter - Fabrication and Installation

Tender description

Nant Peris Bus Shelter – Fabrication and Installation Invitation to Tender The Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) seeks to tender for a fabricator to build and install a bespoke bus shelter, designed by local artist Joe Roberts. Description The artist was commissioned to develop a design for a new bus shelter for the Nant Peris Sherpa Park and Ride. The brief was to create a design that features an interpretive view of Snowdon, complementing the other local installations designed by the artist (examples of his work can be found at www.joeroberts.art). The shelter needs to provide: • a bench with a solar powered mobile phone charging point. • shelter from the weather through a uniquely Welsh, modern and green design. • a structure that complements the landscape on the igam-ogam sections of the Wales Way. In response to this brief, the artist developed a proposal that brought together themes associated with the locality (this can be found in Annex 1). The proposal was awarded planning permission in December 2019 (Annex 2) and structural plans have now been created to guide the fabrication of this shelter (Annex 3 - 9). These received conditional Building Regulations approval in July 2020 (letter of confirmation attached as Annex 10). Deliverables The SNPA require: • The fabrication of the structural steelwork, and preparation of fixings and cladding as specified in the plans attached. This fabrication must comply with any relevant Building Regulation requirements. • The transportation of the steelwork to the site • The assembly and installation of the steelwork – including all necessary lifting and safety procedures. Important: all work must comply with current COVID-19 regulations and guidelines regarding social distancing and safe working practices. Note: Site preparation will be a separate contract, including installation of the concrete foundation slab and provision of electrics to the site. Separate contracts will also be let for stonework, glazing and final fit electrics, to be carried out once the steelwork is in place.
