two.2.14) Additional information
Extreme volatility in the market and unprecedented turmoil in commodity markets globally lead to tenders received being excessively over budget. The council and their consultants undertook a review of affordability options and as a result of this the Council amended conceptual designs highlighting a reduced scheme and a schedule of reductions was to be completed by all tenderers. Proposed phasing of the buildings construction will include removal of the Adventure play including the external Play park and Healthcare from this contract. Key impacts of these changes include - internal walls to be upgraded to external wall facades following removal of areas of the building; structural design to be reviewed and upgraded where building elements have been omitted; a temporary external screened fire escape required from Gym mezzanine level; courtyard roof to extend over lower ground bowling accommodation,; handrail / guarding to link roof between Hub and Adventure play; ground to be graded as required following removal of play park, adventure play and health care; A proposed alternative to the concrete cladding to perforated aluminium cladding panel with the original decoration / tree effect; Landscaping / planting - the planting and the children's play area will become part of a second phase. Therefore, as part of the contract the proposed children's area will be a grassed area. VEAT was published to this effect on 2nd October 2023. Notice reference: 2023/S 000-028945.
