Description
Bracknell Forest Council ("the Council") are seeking to develop accommodation and support for an ageing population of people with learning disabilities, built around demand, need and best practice and informed by the market and community. The site is located at 10 Ladybank, Bracknell RG12 7HA off Birch Hill Road and is situated close to a medical practice, shops, community centre and a primary school.
The site is accessed via Ladybank Road, a no-through road. The surrounding area is predominantly residential. Temporary access for construction may also be possible from Leppington Road (north of the site), subject to seeking Highways consent.
Part of the site slopes from west to east, with the existing building situated on a levelled surface. The proposed new building is planned to remain around the same level of the existing building. For further details, please refer to the IBI architect's RIBA Stage 2 report.
The Bridgewell Supported Living project will provide four 5-bedroom units and is based on a two-storey new build accommodation, i.e. the existing building will be demolished. The scheme will achieve BREEAM Excellent sustainability and secure by design rating. The design is based on Housing our Ageing Population Panel for Innovation (HAPPI).
In summary, the works involve the following: -
1) Complete RIBA Stages 3 and 4 design under a PCSA.
2) Site perimeter hoarding.
3) Isolation and capping of existing services.
4) Asbestos removal.
5) Soft strip.
6) Full demolition of the existing buildings on site and adjust levels to the site.
7) Construction of a new two storey supported living residential accommodation with a roof garden. BREEAM Excellent target.
8) Landscaping works including access, car parking, pedestrian routes, garden & planting works and making good.
9) Adjustment of hoardings and boundary.
This project will be developed under a Design and Build (D&B) process i.e. the contract sum for the Main Works Contract (the "Contract Sum") will be arrived at in two stages. The intention is that the selected Contractor will initially fulfil the design for RIBA stages 3 and 4 under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement and ultimately be appointed under a lump sum form of contract (JCT Design and Build 2016 as amended by The Schedule of Amendments) (the "Main Works Contract"). A summary of this process is set out in the Combined Invitation to Tender.
