Invitation to Tender

PROJECT BRIEF

Bodmin Town Council (BTC) is seeking to invite tenders for the design and build of a new play facility for children aged from 7 to 13+ years of age, with all equipment and surfacing conforming to EN1176 and EN1177.

The area assigned for development is located on the outskirts of Bodmin (see location map). A budget of up to £40,000 has been set aside to build a new play facility. The play area should be aimed towards older children and have durability and ease of maintenance at the fore front.

The play area must be appropriately fenced to exclude dogs and to retain young children in the play area

The play facility will need to be constructed to the rear of the site to allow for resident parking to be added later. The play area should also be located 20m away from habitable area of dwellings.

Under the works you should allow for:

• No onsite or technical support will be provided by Bodmin Town Council. • Planning submission • Supplier to take full responsibility to check and ascertain the installation feasibility. • Positioning, supply and installation of all play equipment and associated works, as per your design.

Safety surfacing

• The supply and installation of safety barriers, e.g., for play equipment, in accordance with minimum use zones and EN regulations. • Fall protection and safety surfaces for the play area should meet appropriate National Safety Standards for the equipment, activity, location, and child age ranges. • All proposed types of safety surfacing should have appropriate ground preparation to ensure free drainage, geotextile membrane, edging and access ramps or transfer platforms (cross sectional details will be required along with your tender return).

Design Design should consider the surrounding Historic nature of Bodmin and be in keeping with the environment.

Fencing and gates Any new play facilities will require suitable play fencing and safe closing gates, and vehicle maintenance gates. Theses gates should be a different colour to help to distinguish the access points.

Furniture litter bins should be including in any new play facility theses, ensuring it is matching to the design, colour, and materials of the overall scheme.

Inclusivity BTC would like their parks to be as inclusive as possible, inclusive play equipment should be considered as part of the tender.
