New 35 Classroom replacement Primary School

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.
