Description

Introduction:
Cullompton Town Council wishes to ensure that all areas under its control are health and safety compliant and that its Officers, Councillor's and members of the public, are protected in so far as is reasonably practicable.
Following concerns that the pathways in the Council's cemetery may present a risk as these are uneven in places, the Cemetery & Town Hall Committee would like to receive quotations to address this. As there are a number of paths within the grounds, it has been agreed that work to the pathways will be carried out in tranches. This quotation document relates to the first tranche and the pathways are highlighted in red on the following map. It is highly recommended that all contractors undertake a site visit to assess the paths.

Location:
Cullompton is an historic market town located at Junction 28 of the M5 motorway in Devon, mid-way between Taunton and Exeter.


SCOPE OF WORKS

To install new *pathways and associated drainage within Cullompton Cemetery (See map)

* Priority paths - First Tranche of project (approximately 270 m2)

Quotations are invited to:

1. Concrete three sections of pathway

2. Install compacted graded 6mm to dust limestone material with self-binding properties, including any sub-base as required on three sections of pathway

NOTE:
1. The Council will choose one option.
2. Contractors may wish to quote for either one or both of the above but all quotes should include options and recommendations for:
I) drainage and edging;
II) underground access ducting, to include appropriate inspection chambers, for installation and protection of essential utilities e.g. electricity, water, internet and phone lines so as and when required, these can be buried underground.

CLAUSE:
1. As part of the formation of the new footpaths, contractors should expose drainage channels and where they are not present, should introduce edging.
2. The historic clay drainage channels (pre 1948) must be left in situ as are part of the historic layout of the cemetery and so are protected.

Quotations must be made on the official quotation document which can be downloaded from the Town Council's website https://www.cullomptontowncouncil.gov.uk/_UserFiles/Files/Quotation Docs/2nd Round Cemetery Pathways Quotation Request.docx.pdf
