CY05867 - Fire Risk Assessment Works Programme 2019/2020 Rivelin Primary, Royd Nursery & Infant Schools, Mundella Primary & Angram Bank Primary

The Works comprise the installation of new fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, general lighting, fire doors, fire stopping/barrier upgrades, replacement of some ceiling areas, along with any associated mechanical and electrical alterations which may be required to the aforementioned school sites. Completion of the works will ensure that the building is fully compliant with fire safety regulations and can continue to operate in its intended capacity.

In addition to the internal works defined above, there is also a requirement to provide new external fire egress points at two of the sites comprising ramps, landing areas, steps, retaining walls, handrails and all other associated works to make good to the surrounding areas. The Contractor shall also be responsible for the completion of the design for: • The ironmongery schedule; • The fire alarm system; • The final cable routing for electrical works.

Due to the way in which the authority is funded by the Dfe, there is a limit to the available funding for each financial year, but SCC are committed to funding the full scope of the Contracted works. As such, it should be noted that the Employer will only be in a position to expend a maximum of £1,000,000 in relation to site works before the end of March 2021, as a consequence of the aforementioned funding restrictions.

The Contractor should be fully aware of these financial restrictions when preparing a programme of works and the wider tender submission. Any approval required to spend beyond the initial £1,000,000 will be communicated early in 2021 and the Contractor will be notified of this approval at the earliest opportunity in order to facilitate completion of any outstanding contracted works.
