    II.1.5)

    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The project will consist of the construction of a new 2/3 storey, 35 classroom

    replacement primary school building (approx 5,484 sq/m), including phased

    demolition and removal of existing school buildings, provision of 2 storey

    temporary school accommodation (and removal of same on completion),

    temporary play areas and all associated site development works. The overall site

    is approx 1.3ha (approx 3.2acres) in size and is located in an established, mature

    residential area. The new school facility will be delivered on a phased basis within

    a fully functioning existing school environment as the existing school facility (900+

    pupils) will remain operational on site during the construction works. An existing

    single storey “Boyd Barrett” building is located on site and is used by the local

    community. This building will remain accessible to the public and will remain

    operational during the entire construction works. A significant amount of rock

    excavation is anticipated, the removal of which must be carried out using

    specialist non-percussive methods. The site slopes steeply from rear to front

    which will result in deep excavations. Works will be carried out in close proximity to

    existing dwellings (some of which were built in an old quarry) and existing school

    buildings. Working space to facilitate construction works, contractor’s facilities,

    parking, deliveries, storage etc, will be very limited and therefore an experienced

    construction management team will be essential. The selected tenderers will have

    to demonstrate an ability to and experience of having successfully delivered a

    project of a similar scale and complexity in the past.
