Construction of an Accessible Perimeter Walkway around Steeton Bowling Green

Steeton with Eastburn Parish Council ("The Council") invites fixed-price quotations for the reconstruction and resurfacing of the perimeter walkway surrounding Steeton Crown Green Bowling Green ("Bowling Green"). The Council's objective is to create a safe, accessible and long-lasting pedestrian route for bowlers, officials, spectators, visitors and members of the wider community. The project comprises an approximately 152-linear-metre perimeter route, with existing walkway widths varying from approximately 1.26 metres to 1.85 metres and an indicative total surface area of approximately 215 square metres.

The works are expected to include:

• removal of defective tarmac, all edging and unsuitable foundation material where required;
• reconstruction of approximately 142.5 linear metres of concrete perimeter edging, including suitable steel reinforcement and stabilising pins;
• incorporation of approximately 9.5 linear metres of previously reconstructed edging and walkway;
• formation of suitable levels and falls to avoid ponding and protect the bowling green;
• smooth connections to retained surfaces and access points;
• lawful removal and disposal of all spoil and waste; and
• making good and leaving the site safe, clean and ready for use.

The completed walkway must provide a firm, even, durable and accessible pedestrian route for bowlers, officials, spectators, visitors and members of the wider community. The dimensions are indicative and have been obtained using a measuring wheel. Tenderers are responsible for verifying measurements, levels, quantities, access arrangements and site conditions before submitting their quotation. A site inspection is strongly recommended. Subject to prior agreement, a limited designated area of the adjoining car park may be made available for plant, skips, temporary material storage and other site requirements. The procurement and any subsequent appointment are subject to the Council securing grant funding, confirming the availability of funds and formally approving the selected quotation. Full requirements, submission instructions and evaluation criteria are contained in the Invitation to Quote and Works Specification.
