### Lot Information

Lot 1

Update, regenerate or rebuild a multi-use building for use by the school and the wider community. The vision would be reflective of any consultation and business plan produced by the successful tenderer to improve facilities for the school and community. As the space would be shared between the school and the community, security and safeguarding will need to be at the fore front of the design. The school will have priority use of the space but there is scope for wider community use outside of school usage. The building needs to be a vast improvement than what is existing, it needs to inspire users and be of architectural merit for the community. Wherever possible sustainable materials and energy efficiency to be considered in proposals. The winning tenderer will see this project through from inception to completion. Consultation and business planning with stakeholders and the community is a specific requirement of the brief and a likely condition of grant funding; to obtain ideas of what they would like to use the space for, for example, there is no gym or sports hall in Mumbles. The winning tenderer will also need to seek the funding for the whole scheme; the school have no funding to undertake the commission or to undertake the construction works; so, the project is to be delivered entirely at risk by the successful tenderer until the tenderer secures grant funding. The winning tenderer will need to apply for and secure all relevant statutory and grant funding approvals. They will also have to liaise with Council staff during the scheme, for example Planning Officer, Building Officer and CDM Officer and the fees of these would need to be included within any grant-aid application - fees associated with statutory approvals e.g., Planning, would need to be funded initially by the successful bidder and reclaimed (where possible) via grant. Existing Building Concrete frame construction with a flat built up felt roof covering, uPVC downpipes, timber clad external walls, single glazed timber and aluminium windows with timber and uPVC external doors. NB: Please note that there are known asbestos AIB panels which are mainly in the changing rooms on the ground floor but can also be attached to the inner walls and removal of the plywood outer skin may disturb or damage the asbestos panels - therefore controlled removal maybe required. It is advisable that the winning tenderer is to commission an Asbestos R&D survey as part of the commission prior to any construction works.
