Tenderers are required to read the DoES Suitability Declaration for Small Works carefully and to make sure that they meet the minimum standards stated therein. Tenderers who do not meet those requirements should not submit a tender as they will be excluded at award stage. All Tenderers are liable for their own costs of tendering.

Tenderers should note also that the Client has appointed van Dijk Architects as Project Supervisor for Design Stage of the Project (Article 4 of the Regulations). In accordance with Article 4(1)b of the Regulations, a health and safety plan in a preliminary form as defined in the regulations, has been prepared for the purpose of providing information to the Project Supervisor for Construction Stage. A copy of the said Plan is attached. The Client also intends that the firm appointed as main contractor for the construction works shall undertake the duties of Project Supervisor for Construction Stage of the project as set out in Article 6 of the Regulations. The appointment of the Contractor as Project Supervisor for Construction Stage is separate to and independent of the contract for the construction works.

The tenderer is required to examine and familiarise his/her self with the site and the information supplied regarding the nature and extent of the proposed works, so as to be satisfied as to what is required to be done to fulfill the duties of the PSCS and also what measures are required to be taken to meet the requirements of both the contract and also the regulations in the execution of the works. All costs arising in respect of these matters are to be included in the tender figure. The client will not be liable for any such costs which are reasonably foreseeable and which are not so included.

It should be noted that where the contractor or any sub-contractor carries out any design (as defined in the regulation) the duties set out in article 5 apply.

*Observations in relation to the program of works and the above dates for start and completion should be made at time of tendering. Any over-run of the intended and agreed date for completion shall result in an imposed loss to the contractor. (min. €1000 per day)
