Demolition - Garages on Hillside Gardens

The scope of the demolition works involves extensive removal of asbestos containing material, waste and debris. All services to the garages are to be terminated and removed, the masonry built garages are to be razed to the ground. The site boundary walls are to be retained in place, temporary propping and formation of buttresses may be required to restrain the boundary walls to prevent collapse. The hard standing is to remain in place. The site is to be left clean and prepared for the construction of four new residential houses.

Hillside Gardens is a large residential development containing a number of flats in several purpose built blocks. The garages where demolition is proposed to be undertaken are out of use. The internal road leading to the garages is in use and provides access and egress for refuse vehicles to enable collection of wheelie bins from the rubbish chutes. The contractor is therefore required to consider the implications of keeping this road available during the works. The contractor will also be required to provide adequate segregation from the works site and protection from falling off the bank once the garage walls are demolished. A site management plan, risk assessments and method statements will be required.

Please note the following additional requirements: • Contractors must pay the London Living Wage to all site staff and subcontractors (checks will be made) • Must be a CHAS (Construction Health and Safety Scheme) registered contractor • Sign up to Considerate Constructors Scheme • Contractors will be subject to a Dunn and Bradstreet Credit Check • Appropriate insurance levels required; Contractor to have minimum public liability insurance (£5m), contract works insurance and employers liability (£10m) • Suggested form of contract is the JCT Minor Works 2016 • Tenders will be assessed on a 60/40 price to quality ratio
