Construction work

Tender description

The environmental crimes team will allocate works based on legal enforcement notices which have been served on a property or private land. When a notice has not been complied with, it is within the power of the local authority to arrange for the works to be carried out in default and to charge the relevant persons a reasonable amount for the works. Therefore, this framework tender comprises the carrying out of various repair and remedial works on behalf of the City Council, subsequent to the issuing of the appropriate legal notice(s) and their default. Lot 1: Boarding and Securing Property To ensure that a range of empty properties; from dwellings to commercial units, are secured from unauthorised access. Works are required to be completed on the same day as issue, in the majority of cases and in cases of emergency, service providers must be on-site within 3 hours of initial notification. The method of securing will vary according to the circumstances including, but not limited to, the use of wooden boards or steel sheeting. Lot 2: Refuse Removal To remove and suitably dispose of a range of miscellaneous waste from empty properties, occupied properties and land. The cleansed area must be left clean and hygienic and waste transfer notes must be provided to evidence lawful disposal. Lot 3: Minor Building/Household Repairs and General Plumbing Works To undertake a range of internal and external repairs to empty and occupied properties to ensure that health and safety hazards are removed. This can include from re-sealing a bath to repairing a leaking roof. To undertake disruptive surveys and provide structural surveys, contract drawings and plans upon request. To undertake a selection of minor internal plumbing repairs from stopping a leaking overflow pipe to installation of a new W.C. Lot 4: Electrical Works To complete a wide range of electrical repairs including the provision of periodic electrical reports, re-fixing electrical sockets, updating consumer units to full property re-wires. Some works received will be classed as an emergency and attendance to the property will be required on the same day as the work is issued. In cases of emergency, service providers must be on-site within 3 hours of initial notification. Qualifications, membership of an appropriate trade organisation for example ‘NICEIC’ or ‘ECA’ is required and Part P registration is required for those works when certification is necessary.. Lot 5: Gas Installations and Appliances This includes repairs and maintenance to gas installations and standard plumbing activities. For all gas repairs and maintenance a contractor must be ‘Gas Safe’ registered. You can still apply for this category if you are not ‘Gas Safe’ registered; just highlight this on the schedule of rates. Electrical heating systems will require the same contractor requirements as electrical works above. In cases of emergency, service providers must be on-site within 3 hours of initial notification. Lot 6: Fire Precautions (Detection) To complete a range of fire safety works from the fitting of fire rated doors to the installation of fire detection and alarm systems in dwellings. This will include emergency works that are required to be completed within 24 hours of issue or temporary fire alarm installation which is required immediately. Those items requiring electrical works will carry the same requirements as set under electrical works. In cases of emergency, service providers must be on-site within 3 hours of initial notification. Lot 7: Drainage To undertake investigations to below ground drainage systems and completing repair to ensure such systems are working adequately and health and safety risks are removed. This work may involve carrying out surveys, the provision of contract drawings, unblocking drains and excavations for section rebuild.
