Description

he Authority is seeking a contractor to design and build a mixed Stone Flag and Aggregate path along a 500m section of Bridleway on Greenup Edge - a remote location of the Lake District National Park, and to undertake additional 250m of Upland Path repair work, consisting mainly of landscaping, habitat restoration and path definition on a separate footpath in the immediate locality.
The route forms part of the Coast To Coast long distance path which is likely to be upgraded to a National Trail and the work will need to be carried out to the National Trails Quality Standards as set out in Appendix 3
The surrounding landscape includes ecologically important and sensitive habitats including areas of deep peat, and the successful contractor will need to demonstrate suitable knowledge and experience of working in these types of habitats and landscapes to ensure they are appropriately protected during and by the work .
The intention of this tender is to procure a contractor to source and supply materials, and undertake this work (using suitable machines) in Autumn 2022 (or at the earliest opportunity after that subject to further discussion post-bid and during evaluation).
The successful contractor will need to source and supply non-calcareous ex-mill floor stone flags/new sawn stone flags to the site which is a remote location at an altitude of c600m which is inaccessible by road.
The stone flags supplied will need to be transported to the work site by helicopter therefore the supplier must ensure that the quotation supplied takes account of all the organisation and costings associated with helicopter operations.
Access and egress to site for diggers will involve tracking in across 8km of remote upland terrain.
Access and egress to site for personnel will involve a 6-8km walk each way.
It would be highly desirable for the successful contractor to gather ariel imagery (via drone ) of the project, before , during and on completion of the works .
