Description
Introduction
Specialist Contractors are invited to submit a quote for the design and installation of an adventure golf course, including entrance gates, security fencing, and associated` landscaping on a surplus c.40m x 40m bowling rink in Swanspool Gardens. You are invited to submit quotes for an 18-hole option, space permitting.
Background information
Swanspool Gardens are set in a residential area on the edge of the town centre. The gardens are set within the grounds of Swanspool House, a Grade II listed Georgian building, in Wellingborough's Conservation area. The Gardens are home to an Art Deco Pavilion servicing two tennis courts and a bowling rink. Many established trees which have historical importance to the gardens and are rare specimens are dotted around the site, with floral displays to compliment the tranquil setting. Through the redevelopment of the gardens, it is envisaged that the pavilion will feature a café which will also function as a kiosk for the adventure golf course and the other sporting facilities.
The gardens feature a second bowls rink in the centre, surplus to requirements. The Council is now looking to develop the area to maximise its value to the community, increase biodiversity and revenue to sustain the gardens, and complement the surroundings.
Scope of work
The work will consist of: • Detailed designs for the course, including drawings and specifications. • Obtaining all necessary permissions, licences and approvals to undertake the work. • Installing an 18-hole golf course. • Erecting fencing, gates and signage. • Associated landscaping to dress the course. • Any ongoing recommended contractor maintenance and inspection costs.
Anticipated value The anticipated value of the contract (based on an 18-hole course), to include all design costs, manufacture, supply and delivery, installation, associated site works, reinstatement, preliminaries, contingencies and profit, is £250,00 to £325,000.
