Notice Information

Notice Title

Designing and Constructing a New Skatepark at Springfield, Corsham

Notice Description

Corsham Town Council is seeking to appoint an experienced specialist skatepark company to design and construct a new skatepark at Springfield Recreation Ground. The successful company will be expected to work closely with the Town Council and the Corsham Skatepark Project Group; to design a new skatepark; to support efforts to access grants from national organisations (and to support the Corsham Skatepark Project Group in its efforts to raise funds locally); to manage the planning process for the new skatepark and ultimately, to construct and deliver a fantastic new facility for skaters in Corsham. Whilst the Town Council has earmarked a substantial sum towards the project and the Corsham Skatepark Project Group has started to raise funds from the local community, not all the funding is in place yet. As such, the contractor will be initially appointed as a speculative partner. Once a design has been agreed, planning permission has been secured and the necessary funding is in place, the contractor will be asked to enter into a JCT contract with Corsham Town Council to construct the new skatepark. The new skatepark is to be constructed on the site of the existing 400m2 facility, though there is scope, and the aspiration amongst local skaters, to expand the footprint if funding and the eventual design permits. Any expansion in the size of facility should not however be at the expense of quality. Corsham Town Council expects the total cost of the project to be around PS350,000 +VAT. A specification which sets out the procurement process and contains a lot more background information is attached to this notice.
