Design and build of timber facility - Southampton City Council

SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL
SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL
TENDER FOR THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF TIMBER FRAMED EDUCATION FACILITY
AT THE WOODMILL OUTDOOR ACTIVITY CENTRE
SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL invites applications from firms/organisations with
experience in the design and build of timber framed buildings.
The project will provide classroom, toilet, changing and shower facilities
for outdoor activities on an environmentally sensitive site, which has no
mains drainage and difficult foundation conditions.
The scheme will need to be designed and constructed with sustainability as
a prime consideration, and to minimise the impact of the development of the
site.
It is envisaged that the building will be framed and clad in timber, from
sustainable sources, with good insulation, using "breathing" construction,
on piled or raft foundations. It is proposed to incorporate solar and
photovoltaic panels in the scheme.
It is our intention to issue the successful applicants with tender
documents in mid April with a tender period of five weeks.
Firms interested in being considered for invitation to tender will be
required to complete a
pre-qualification questionnaire available upon request in writing to Miss S
O'Neill, Corporate
Procurement, 1st Floor Southbrook Rise, 4-8 Millbrook Road East,
Southampton SO15 1YG, email: s.oneill@southampton.gov.uk by no later than 4
pm on 21st March 2003. Completed application forms will be required by no
later than 4 pm on 28th March 2003. For further details on the technical
requirements contact, Stuart Walker on 023 8083 2513 or
