The handrails are to be prepared and redecoration or new galvanised railing are to be installed. This will be confirmed during the mobilisation phase. There have been some major improvement works previously undertaken in areas adjacent to the site such as the installation of metal railings. The area in scope of this contract is Torfaen County Borough, South Wales. Bron Afon is looking to commence this contract in June/July 2023. Tenderers will be required to survey the contract area and submit pricing to fully complete the project including all preliminary and associated costs whether expressly stated in the appending pricing documentation or not. Bron Afon is ideally seeking to appoint a contractor that has good knowledge of the local area and building types and is able to act as a partner in ensuring the works are completed on time and to a high standard.
