two.1.4) Short description
Buckinghamshire Council is seeking tenders from suitably experienced and qualified organisations for the Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of 3 New Cremators and Mercury Abatement Equipment at Chilterns Crematorium (including demolition, removal and disposal of the existing cremation equipment) through the appointment of a single provider.
Chilterns Crematorium, Amersham is the largest crematorium in Buckinghamshire and operates with three cremators, which were installed in 1996/7. Historically and at the current time Chilterns Crematorium receives the bulk of cremations for the region and its level of activity remains very high (currently over 3,500 annual cremations), despite the new facilities in the north of the County.
The crematorium is accessed via Whielden Road and is situated back from the main road within mature woodland landscape, obscuring the view of the crematorium from the main road. The crematorium is served by a dedicated entrance, with an entrance drive bordered by mature hedgerow on either side. This leads to a one-way loop around the front of the crematorium building to the car parking. The crematorium consists of one large building, with a chapel on either side of a central crematory. A small service yard and entrance is located between the 2 chapels, linking into the crematory with a discreet gated fence. This allows for the delivery and collection of consumables and also for the service and maintenance of the cremation equipment.
Buckinghamshire Council invites you to submit a tender for the removal and disposal of 3 Evans 300/2 single ended cremators and ‘double’ mercury abatement system and the subsequent design, supply, maintenance and installation of 3 no. new cremators (all of which will be ‘wide coffin’ or ‘bariatric’ cremators) and accompanying ‘mercury’ abatement equipment to ensure 100% abatement. NOx abatement is to be included as part of the installation.
Tenders must also include a 15 year ‘all inclusive’ servicing contract covering all schedule maintenance visits, annual independent emissions testing, all required spares, unlimited emergency call outs and customer services enquiries, all cremator hearth and refractory linings remedial works and replace all other items for a period of 15 years, except where specifically excluded and noted in your bid.
The successful bidder will enter into 2 separate contracts with Buckinghamshire Council; One for the Design, Manufacture, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Cremators and Mercury Abatement - Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) MF/1 form of contract (revision 6- 2014).
One for the maintenance of the cremators for a period of 15 years on Buckinghamshire Councils Long Form Service Contract.
It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded in late September/early October 2021 and the successful bidder will commence the works in the Spring of 2022. All works, installation and commissioning must be complete by 31/11/2022.
