Invitation to quote for the pathway construction at East End Playing Field, Redruth, TR15 2EJ

Construction of the long-awaited Redruth Skatepark in East End Playing Fields completed in October 2021. The pathway is needed to provide safe access to this popular new facility and the existing play area.

Details of the new pathway Redruth Town Council own East End Playing Fields. Planning permission for both the Skatepark and the new pathway is given in planning permission PA21/06079, granted in July 2021.  The pathway is to provide access from East End gate to both the existing play area gate and the new skatepark.  The required pathway & specification is shown on the attached detailed design document.  The total length of the pathway designed is 112.4Lm x 1.2m wide. However, there are three separate sections of pathway as indicated in the legend of the detailed design document. You are required to quote for these three sections separately to give the client some budget flexibility. The 3 sections are:- • Main path to Skatepark 84Lm x 1.2m • Bottom path to Play Area 8.7Lm x 1.2m • Top path to Play Area 19.7m x 1.2m • Picnic Bench Area 2.5m x 4.6m wide • Filter drain total length of 29.5Lm with minimum width 300mm; depth 450mm

 The current site is turf. The required pavement surface is tarmac.  As the new pathway is tarmac and the abutting surface is grass, to maintain the integrity of both surfaces two options for edging are given in the specification. The two options are:- • Precast concrete • Wood. You are required to quote for these two options separately to give the client some budget flexibility. As the current site is turf, we would also like you to explain how construction plant will access the site.
