Notice Title

Contractor for Redruth Former Library

Notice Description

The Former Redruth Library at 2-4 Clinton Road, Redruth TR15 2QE was acquired by us, a local arts organisation, this year from Cornwall Council. Our organisation 'Redruth Former Library CIC' (Client) was formed in 2021 to purchase and transform the neglected Grade II listed Passmore Edwards Library and College buildings into a hub for community, education and culture called: "The Ladder". Opened in 1895, the building has always represented Passmore Edwards' commitment to creating spaces for social mobility; and we take its name from a quote from Edwards: "If I can fund the Ladder; the people will climb". We carry that mission forward into the 21st Century. In the year of the 200th anniversary of Passmore's birth, we want to build on his legacy to provide spaces which allow development and growth for the people of Redruth. The Buildings The former library is located at the end of Clinton Road, Redruth and forms a corner with Treruffe Hill. It comprises two listed buildings, the Library with the striking corner tower and the College. In between these two historic buildings is a modern link. The site was used up until March 2020 whereupon the Library relocated. Overall the two main buildings are sound but in need of internal and external refurbishment. There followed during 2020 the preparation of a Condition Report which described the failing fabric and finishes. Following a period with no occupancy we took on the building in 2021 with the aim of phased regeneration as the availability of funding permitted. THE LADDER - FORMER REDRUTH LIBRARY TENDER BRIEF FOR A CARPENTER Bespoke carpentry package to be delivered as part of a wider restoration project of the former library at 2-4 Clinton Road, Redruth, TR15 2QE. The package covers 3 carpentry items: FN-0-1: Stage, vitrine and banquette FN-0-2: Stage blocks (4no., identical) FN-0-3: Kitchenette, tech cupboard and banquette. The majority of the package comprises a combination of PAR Ash components with birch plywood infill panels. Allow for coordination with the main contractor for plumbing and second fix electrical. The fabricator will have a minimum 6 week window on site for installation, with completion due on September 20th. Please provide 1 cost for the ash + birch plywood materiality described in the drawings, and a variation / cost saving option to deliver the scheme in douglas fir PAR and douglas fir plywood.
