The Horniman wishes to appoint a suitably qualified consultant for the fire stopping remediation project. This project is to be broken into two parts. A and B. Stage 'A' will involve the procurement and appointment of a suitably qualified fire safety specialist consultant (the consultant must be a chartered fire engineer, accredited with a suitable institution). A series of surveys (some may be intrusive) across our sites and the development of a fire strategy and report with prioritised recommendations. The consultant will determine an outline specification and assist the project manager and QS with the creation of a pricing schedule and site drawings for tender issue, to be issued as an open tender for contractors to price as a cost plus tender. Stage 'B' will involve the procurement of a contractor to undertake a 'find and fix' fire stopping and remediation contract on a cost plus basis according to the compartmentation outlined in the fire strategy put together by the consultant as per stage A and with the input of the museums specialist consultants as necessary. Listed building consent, if needed, will be applied for by our consultant architect once the completion of stage 'A' and will run concurrently with the procurement of stage 'B'.
