Description

Construction of the long-awaited Redruth Skatepark in East End Playing Fields completed in October 2021. The pathway is needed to provide safe access to this popular new facility and the existing play area.

Details of the new pathway
Redruth Town Council own East End Playing Fields. Planning permission for both the Skatepark and the new pathway is given in planning permission PA21/06079, granted in July 2021.
 The pathway is to provide access from East End gate to both the existing play area gate and the new skatepark.
 The required pathway & specification is shown on the attached detailed design document.
 The total length of the pathway designed is 112.4Lm x 1.2m wide. However, there are three separate sections of pathway as indicated in the legend of the detailed design document. You are required to quote for these three sections separately to give the client some budget flexibility. The 3 sections are:-
• Main path to Skatepark 84Lm x 1.2m
• Bottom path to Play Area 8.7Lm x 1.2m
• Top path to Play Area 19.7m x 1.2m
• Picnic Bench Area 2.5m x 4.6m wide
• Filter drain total length of 29.5Lm with minimum width 300mm; depth 450mm

 The current site is turf. The required pavement surface is tarmac.
 As the new pathway is tarmac and the abutting surface is grass, to maintain the integrity of both surfaces two options for edging are given in the specification. The two options are:-
• Precast concrete
• Wood.
You are required to quote for these two options separately to give the client some budget flexibility.
As the current site is turf, we would also like you to explain how construction plant will access the site.

What we would like from you
We would like the following from you to consider your quote:-
Fixed price quote with the VAT to be shown separately. The quote should be broken down to show the cost for the following elements:-
 Main path to Skatepark 84LM x 1.2m, quoted for both Precast Concrete & wooden edging
 Bottom path to Play Area 8.7Lm x 1.2m quoted for both Precast Concrete & wooden edging
 Top path to Picnic Area 19.7Lm x 1.2m. quoted for both Precast Concrete & wooden edging
 Picnic Bench Area of 2.5m x 4.6m wide
 Filter drain total length of 29.5Lm with minimum 300mm width; 450mm depth

We would also welcome:
 A method statement which outlines the build and also how construction vehicles and plant will access the site and be managed on site. The site is normally open to the public. If you consider this an issue during the pathway build, then please say when quoting.
 How long you would anticipate the pathway construction will take you.
 A possible start date for the pathway construction if the contract is awarded by the end of April 2023.
 We would like your written quotes for this job by 5 p.m. on Friday 31st March 2023.
