Following the success of the Phase 1 development, Cornwall Council are seeking a suitably and demonstrably experienced Principal Contractor to undertake the works to construct the second phase of Hayle Marine Renewables Business Park, at North Quay, Hayle, Cornwall, TR27 4DD. The form of construction contract will be an NEC 3 Engineering & Construction Contract 2013 Edition (Option A) with secondary options and z clauses as included with the procurement documents, and appointment will be on a traditional basis with contractor design packages.

The project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the contractor will be required to comply with all relevant EU Regulations and specifically the Branding and Publicity Guidelines required of an ERDF funded project. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as Managing Authority for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) programme has completed the technical appraisal of the full application and approved in principle the award of ERDF grant. The pre-offer ERDF conditions have been cleared and at the time of writing the Council is awaiting receipt of the funding agreement.

Works will include foundations, building envelope, internal partitions and fitting out, and MEP. The contractor will need to allow for ground remediation works in the area due to the presence of asbestos and caution will need to be taken due to the proximity of live HV cables. Works to this area of the site will include alterations to boundaries, provision of parking, retaining walls, landscaping and external works, and the provision of infrastructure incl. new supplies / utilities and drainage connections on-site and off-site, BT, and plant rooms as designed to operate the buildings.

These are both key requirements of the ERDF funding. Each industrial unit will be of a steel frame construction with strip and pad foundations. Works will include foundations, building envelope, internal partitions and fitting out, and MEP. Works to demolish and reconstruct an existing retaining wall will also be required in this area. The project will also deliver the extension and refurbishment of an existing switch room (Building 3) to BREEAM Very Good, with a new roof and solar PVs, totalling circa 435m2 combined GIA. The contractor will need to allow for asbestos surveys, removals, and clearance testing as part of the refurbishment works. The contractor will need to allow for ground remediation works as outlined in the strategy provided with the procurement documents, and works will also include the provision of parking, landscaping and external works, and the provision of infrastructure incl. new supplies / utilities and drainage connections on-site and off-site, BT, and plant rooms as designed to operate the buildings.
