Ralegh Crescent 2018

RALEGH CRESCENT REFURBISHMENT PROJECT - SUPPLIER BRIEF The existing play area on Ralegh Crescent in the Deer Park area of Witney is now due for refurbishment. This document sets out the details of the project for suppliers who are interested in submitting a quote for the work. The site is managed by Witney Town Council (WTC), and they will therefore be the clients for this project. Oxfordshire Playing Fields Association (OPFA) have been employed by WTC to act as the project manager, working in conjunction with the Town Council throughout. The contact for suppliers is Nicole O'Donnell, email [email protected] The postcode for the play area is OX28 5GP. The play area is highlighted in yellow on the map below.

Objectives The objectives of this project are to:- • Create an exciting play space to replace the existing facility on Ralegh Crescent in Witney • Ensure the project delivers free access to child-friendly facilities with high play value for children up to 12 years old • Ensure that the play space is inclusive and caters for varying abilities • Ensure the new play area has a serviceable lifespan of greater than 20 years. Existing equipment The existing equipment was installed over a period of time, with the most recent addition being a conical spinning climber. This piece of equipment must be retained, although it can be moved if necessary to accommodate the design. All other pieces of equipment can be removed. The Town Council has a Proludic Hip Hop in storage that they would like to use in this play area. Suppliers should therefore take this into account in their design and include the installation of this in their installation costs. Budget The budget for this project is: £63,000 This includes all groundworks, installation, surfacing and equipment. The Town Council will arrange and pay separately for an independent post installation inspection, not to be included in this budget. Footprint of the site The footprint of the play space must remain the same. Fencing and shrubs The play space will continue to be fenced in. Fencing should not be included in quotes by play suppliers; WTC will source and install this separately. They will also remove some of the existing shrubs from the 3 sides of the play area that adjoin the field in order to improve the line of sight to the site. Age range The play space should be designed for children aged up to 12. Constraints Nothing on the play space should exceed 4m in height, in order to avoid the need for planning permission, and take into account the proximity of residences. Siting of equipment should meet the required buffer zone: 20m minimum separate between the activity zone and the habitable room façade of dwellings. Timescale Installation of the site should take place in time to be open for the 2018 summer school holidays. Return of quotations Quotations should be returned to Nicole O'Donnell by 4th April.
