Description

We are excited to offer a design and build opportunity for a new play park within Bude. We're looking for a team that can provide a complete solution and that can offer the following services over two stages;
Stage One - Design and Consultation

• Help consult with local users and stakeholders to explore design requirements, learning possibilities, desired story-telling direction and capture the culture of Bude
• Produce a design to fulfil the requirements of the project brief as determined by the consultation
• Work with the Town Council and their Facilities Manager to ensure that the design, materials and workmanship ensure long life and repairability
• To help write up documents required for planning permission - if required
• To provide technical assistance in the production of grant applications as necessary (with final submission being done by BSTC)
• To assist in BSTC vision of being carbon neutral by 2030 with sustainable materials, delivery and construction and be able to provide carbon audits if required

Stage Two - Reconfigure and Install
• Provide project management,
• Remove previous equipment and make safe the flooring of the upper area
• Manage safe site access and security
• Groundworks and installation of flooring in the lower area
• Construction and installation of equipment
• Safety sign-off
• Provision of warranties and aftercare repairs service

We are interested in a range of solutions - from off the shelf equipment to completely unique designs. The direction taken will be directed by the local community and budget/grant funding available.

The project will be in two stages with a break between. The design/s produced will go onto a final vote to the Town Council and if approved we will then commit to a chosen design & budget, and commission the second stage with the actual build.
