## Notice

Sprowston Town Council is seeking a Main Contractor to construct and refurbish the Former Viking Public House (Tills Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR6 7QZ, UK) into a community centre and hub. It is proposed the existing building will be fully refurbished internally including the removal of all existing redundant plant and equipment. On the ground floor, two self-contained function rooms, will be formed, each containing storage, toilets and tea-making facilities. In addition to the function rooms a cafe bar will be created in the central rotunda of the building, which again will be self-contained, having its own toilet facilities and services along with a stock room allocated within the cellar. The first-floor layout will be converted into 3no. small, office units, serviced by toilet and tea-making facilities. The extension will create an additional 187m2 of new floor space and will be single storey, standing at a height of 6.00m at its highest ridgeline, reducing to 3.4m at the lowest eaves line to the north-east boundary. Remedial works will consist of extensive works to the roof and dormer windows and the replacement of all fenestration with modern casement window units. The extension will be a steel framed structure, located to the rear of the original building, filling the space formed by the 'embrace' of each wing. The walls will be finished with a high-quality, facing blockwork. The front boundary to Tills Road will be enclosed by 1.2m high, bow-topped, steel fencing with gates. The existing carpark will be resurfaced and re-lined to accommodate 16 no. car parking spaces and two accessible access spaces. In addition, 6 no. wall-mounted, electric car charging points will be provided. A raised external decking area will be formed to the front of the building to serve the cafe bar. The existing FW & SW drainage is dispersed via a combined sewer. New SW volume is proposed to be dealt with via new soakaways located under the car park, subject to testing of ground conditions. The works will be procured under a tradition single stage lump sum tender process under a JCT IFC with contractor design 2016 contract with an anticipated budget between PS850,000 to PS1,000,000. The construction period will be approximately 7 months.
