Description

To provide Play Area Equipment and associated safety surfaces:
• a basketball net, goal and side panel, with optional cricket wicket/targets, including wet pour base and markings, OR, a standalone basketball net with wet pour base and markings;
• an inclusive wheelchair seesaw suitable for all or a similar piece;
• interactive play panels suitable for all, such as four in a row, tic tac toe (subject to cost it may be possible to have 3 or 4 panels);
• an additional piece of outdoor gym equipment to complement the existing outdoor gym equipment, e.g. dip bars; and,
• a 20m zip wire/cable way.

Budget for this project is £44,999.02, funded from Section 106 developer contributions. There is no additional funding available. Subject to the tender submissions and costs, it may not be possible to install all the proposed items within the budget, if this is the case, the Town Council will select its preferred items. Please note if the S106 funds are not released to Burgess Hill Town Council, then the project will not go-ahead.

You are asked to provide guidance regarding the suitability of the proposed items and best value for money.

Ideally wet pour safety surfacing would form part of this contract but the Council is open to other alternatives of surfacing, however it must be easy to maintain.

Equipment and installation must comply with EN1176 and EN957.

The equipment must be low maintenance, vandal resistant and able to withstand heavy wear. To provide the Town Council with details on how to maintain the new play, kickabout and outdoor gym equipment to ensure the equipment meets health & safety standards.

Any excavated material will be removed from the site by the contractor and the cost must be included in the quotation. Materials must be disposed of in accordance with Local Authority regulations.

Any surfaces or features disturbed during the works must be re-instated at the contractors cost prior to handover.

The play area will remain open to the public during the works so the contractor will need to secure the area during construction and ensure that the works are left in a safe condition at the end of each working day, and take all reasonable precautions to ensure that members of the public are excluded from the works at all times.
