WARE PRIORY COMMERCIAL KITCHEN REFURBISHMENT

Tender description

Detailed specification The kitchen is primarily used as a function/finishing kitchen for our external catering partners to use and needs to be set up to service up to 100 covers. Some existing equipment will need to be removed, and some will need to be replaced. There will be a need for some modifications to existing utilities to facilitate new equipment and new layout. Please see attached document for full specification. Whilst this is largely what we are looking for, we are not tied to specific brands and will accept alternatives of the same dimensions, capacities and performance. Overview: To supply and fit appropriate vinyl safety flooring to all areas of the kitchen, estimated at 62sqm. To supply and fit Whiterock wall covering in all areas - approximately 28 linear meters in main kitchen area, and 9.6 linear meters in adjoining storeroom. To reconfigure/replace the extraction canopy to suit the new required layout. To supply and fit 2 new refrigerators within the kitchen with adjustable internal racking. To remove existing undercounter fridges and replace with stainless steel worktops. To supply and fit a new electric stainless steel 'Pass' with gantry lighting and disconnect and remove the existing gas-powered Pass. To replace the existing gas hob with an electric alternative. Access and possible restrictions in the delivery phase of the project. Access to the site will be 8am-5pm Monday-Friday as standard. Hours outside of this can potentially be arranged with the Operations Manager. The building will still be in operation - with office workers and tenants onsite various times. Coordination with the Operations Manager will be required to ensure there is limited disruption to areas outside of the kitchen itself. We are also refurbishing the function room adjacent to the kitchen within the same time period, so there may be a need to work alongside the contractors appointed for these works. There is parking on site for site vehicles. Progress reporting The council will require reporting as required and in particular any impact on the project timescale, plus anything that may cause reputational damage to the council. Payment terms Please specify in the pricing schedule the requirement for any phased payments. WTC seek to pay all correct invoices within 30days. Retention value / period WTC will retain 10% of the contract value for a period of 3 months. Penalty clauses Clause to be inserted as required. Conditions of contract The Council require assurances from all potential contractors through the provision of appropriate documentation that: • All operatives are suitably trained and qualified to use any machinery involved in the work. • Operatives will at all times wear suitable protective clothing and high viz jackets. • Safety and advisory signage will be required as necessary • Contractors will be required to supply details of public liability insurance with the tender papers.
