Description

Further to the Early Engagement notice published earlier this year, this notice relates to the Homes and Communities Agency's (HCA's) site at Queenborough and Rushenden, located on Rushenden Road, Queenborough. The site is circa 10ha and has been remediated and cleared of all underground obstructions by an earlier ground works contract. The site is required to be land raised by circa 2m depth for flood protection purposes and the site is subject to a detailed planning consent for this purpose.

The site has been fully prepared for land raising by the installation of band drains penetrating to the full depth of the alluvial deposits below ground level at regular centres across the site in accordance with the original land raise design parameters, and is therefore ready to receive the deposition of imported material.

The successful firm will enter into a contract with the HCA and rent the land from the HCA for the contract term. As such the estimated cost to the HCA is zero.

Additional CPV descriptions include 45112320 - Land-reclamation work, 45112350 - Reclamation of wasteland and 14212400 - Soil.
