Description
This project is funded by Levelling Up Fund and Towns Deal from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Barrow Borough Council, Barrow Business Improvement District and a potential 200k private sector contribution yet to be confirmed.
The works are to be delivered in 2 stages. Stage 1 Design and Stage 2 Construction for civils works associated with the following:
• Barrow Indoor Market Hall Transformation project
• Integration and new wrap frontage of Market Hall and Forum Theatre
• Capital works to create a Town Centre Community Hub within the Forum Theatre
• Creation of outdoor events spaces at the outdoor market area in the town centre and the amphitheatre at the Dock Museum
Barrow BC is seeking to appoint a contractor to develop designs, gain necessary consents and approvals and undertake the construction of a package of improvement works as part of the redevelopment of the package of projects set out above as part of the wider Town Investment Plan for Barrow Town Centre.
Associated with this project is an accessibility and public realm project to connect up the leisure, retail, civic and quarters of Barrow Town centre. This will be part of a separate contract, but will be incorporated within the programming of works for town centre for consistency of design and timings.
The Council will commission the works in two distinct stages:
• Stage 1: Design, development, consents and approvals
• Stage 2: Construction
There is to be a Employer decision hold-point between Stage 1 and 2 when the Employer will decide whether or not to proceed to Stage 2. This decision will be at the Employers total discretion.
• Stage 1 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract (Option E)
• Stage 2 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract (Option A)
For Stage 1, the Contractor will enter into a contract with the Council (the Employer) and develop the detailed design for the works outlined in the Works Information. It should be noted that whilst the design is currently developed to Outline Design the Council wishes to gain contractor involvement and buildability advice which is to be incorporated into the final design along with the outcome of further engagement and discussions with key stakeholders including Barrow BC, Cumbria County Council, esp Highways Authority, Stagecoach and the wider community including the local MP and community organisations who will use the facilities, potential and existing market traders and unit occupiers
The Contractor will undertake any necessary supplementary investigations, studies, assessments, etc, produce all drawings and specifications for the works and secure all necessary consents and approvals. The Contractor will provide a pre- construction information (PCI) document as a fully priced activity schedule for discussion and acceptance at the end of Stage 1.
If the Employer accepts the Stage 1 products and price, the Contractor may be asked to provide
