Urban Designer/Landscape Architect Led Multi-Disciplinary Design Services for Public realm enhancement schemes for the coastal villages of Strandhill and Rosses Point, County Sligo.

Tender description

Sligo County Council intend to procure an urban designer/ landscape-architect led, multi- disciplinary design team to progress the preliminary design, detailed design and delivery of a public realm enhancement scheme for the two tourist coastal villages of Strandhill and Rosses Point in County Sligo in the North West of Ireland. Sligo County Council is seeking the full range of complimentary consultancy design team services to develop the project from preliminary design, to securing all necessary statutory consents, detailed design, to complete tender and construction documentation, tender evaluations, inspection of construction works and issue statutory certification on completion. The focus for these villages is twofold: 1. to support their function as effective suburbs of Sligo town and to enable them to grow in a sustainable and safe manner into the future. 2. to enhance the tourism potential and capacity of these settlements. Currently, the public realm of both these settlements is dominated by the car and the focus is not on the pedestrian. The objective of the proposed scheme is to reverse this trend and give the space back to the pedestrian so that as these villages expand, they can do so in a safe way that ensures they remain pleasant places that support communities into the future. The commissioned consultants should be urban designers or landscape architects registered with or members of the Irish Landscape Institute (ILI), or a similar or equivalent professional body. They should have previous experience or knowledge of inclusive/age-friendly public realm/streetscape design and implementation of best practice.
