Description
Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking to enter a Term Contract arrangement with one suitable organisation for the movement of temporary/portable buildings already owned by the Council, including providing temporary storage facilities where a direct transfer of a modular building between sites is not practicable. Movements of temporary buildings may include relocation from site to site, relocation on the same site or removal from site for disposal.
In addition to the movement of modular buildings from site to site, the Term Contract will incorporate most of the associated works necessary to effect complete installation and making ready for occupation of the buildings. These activities will include carrying out necessary enabling works to allow access, associated groundworks, and installing services and utilities as appropriate (water, gas, electricity, fire alarm and drainage, including installing ducts for future Client use, etc.) as well as any surveys required and the removal and/or reinstatement of any temporary structures/works necessary to access the works (such as fencing, gates, planting etc).
It is further required that the contract holder will carry out repairs to existing mobile buildings and their service installations for the duration of the contract. Therefore, this contract will also be used when providing a cost for such repairs, either using the scheduled rates, where applicable, or on a parts and labour (quotation) basis under the provisions of this contract.
