Description

Natural England is looking for the supply, delivery and erection of two agricultural storage buildings. Both of these buildings are to be enclosed on three sides, with an open frontage. All necessary ground works will also need to be undertaken and included in the total costs.

Machinery / Equipment
The contractor shall provide all equipment, all fuel and maintain all equipment required for the completion of the project.

Site Services
Single phase electricity and mains water supplies are available for use on site. Welfare facilities are not available and therefore temporary facilities should be provided by the contractor.

Building dimensions
a) 18 m long x 8 m span 3.5 m to eaves
b) 10 m long x 3 m span and 3.5 m to eaves

Materials for both buildings
Steel portal frame construction with mono-pitch roof, pitched to match existing building.

Fibre cement anti condensation roof with plastisol box profile side cladding similar to existing buildings.

450 mm concrete plinth securely attached to ground below cladding, to prevent vehicle damage to cladding.

Existing tarmac and concrete hard standing shall be made good and level with similar material where necessary, to provide final floor surface.

Services
Electrical supply shall be taken from existing supply to provide lighting to both buildings. Larger building (a) to include 4 x double sockets.

Drainage
Gutters at eaves, connected via downpipes and an inspection chamber which should connect into existing drains or new soak ways - to be agreed with the Project Officer
On completion of the works all waste materials are to be removed from site and all the hard standing within the compound should be cleared and free from any debris.
