Tender Clarification 6
Q1. The Landscape Consultant's Appointment also makes provision for collateral warranty agreements. Our commercial and legal team would need to have sight of any collateral warranty agreements before entering into those.
A1. Agreement to the principle of a CW is required with wording to be agreed.

Q2. How many meetings are anticipated per Workstage, to allow for client steering group meetings and project team / design team meetings?
A2. Not defined as necessary to complete the scope of services.

Q4. What form of works contract are you intending to use - JCT, NEC or another form?
A4. JCT standard form is anticipated.

Q5. Is a drainage engineer included under the civils role or do you require a specialist in natural flood management for FLD1?
A5. Specialist Flood design is by the Internal Drainage Board (Environment agency) so not needed. No a drainage engineer is not included.

Q6. Would a Landscape Management and Maintenance Plan be required?
A6. No reference to Landscape Management plan is made - Maintenance is covered under scope of services 7.12.

Tender Clarification 5
Q1. The PI insurance requirement is stated as £10M, can this be revised down, to £5M or preferably £2M?

A1. £5M would not be adequate cover as it does not just relate to project value and the level of £10M set provided the cover necessary and therefore adjustment to a lower level is not acceptable

Q2. Regarding the £225,000 fee listed in the Contracts Finder notice, is this fee associated with the landscape architect's services only?
A2. The £225,000 relates to budget construction value excluding VAT for the Landscape services only

Tender Clarification 1 - clarified that this ITT relates to RIBA stages 0-7 rather than 1 - 7.

The workstreams are subject to funding being secured along with planning permission and listed building consent being obtained. The works will be signed off to proceed at each RIBA works stage subject to these variables.
