Description
Tender opportunity for the repair and reinstatement of a slabbed footpath through public open space.
The path runs north/south through Grangewood park and is part tarmac, and part slabbed with 385mm x 385mm slabs. The slabbed path runs through the wooded area of the park and was installed a number of years ago, but its structure has been compromised by tree roots and water travel creating an unsafe surface in some areas.
The path is approximately 380m in length (950m2).
Specification
• To lift existing slabs and set aside.
• Remove tree roots as necessary, without damage to trees and existing landscape.
• Regrade base to level using MOT Type 1 subbase.
• Lay 35mm sharp sand bed and consolidate.
• Relay existing slabs.
• Haunch path sides with concrete haunch.
• Dress finished path with 5mm self-binding gravel.
General
The parish council intends to award the tender by the end of May 2021. Works must be completed by 16th July 2021, and within two weeks of the commencement date.
It will be assumed that the contractor will have visited the site to assess the work required, access, location and carry out relevant services checks.
Works shall not commence before 8am or continue beyond 6pm. Work shall not be permitted on a Sunday or Bank Holiday.
The contractor shall supply all labour, materials, fuel, water, carriage, plant, tools and machinery in order to execute the works.
Access to the site is via the park entrance on Clannell Road or Peregrine Place. Access routes shall be reinstated to their original condition at completion of the works.
