1.0 Introduction. Club Design has been engaged by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council to assist in the delivery of converting existing hard tennis courts to an artificial grass crown bowling green (37m x 37m), together with a bowls pavilion and new car parking at St Lawrence’s recreation ground. As part of this process discussions were held with various stakeholders and with the general public to review requirements and consultation has been positive and resulted in detailed proposals for the new facilities. 2.0 The Site. The site is located adjacent to Congleton Road, Biddulph in a residential area. The tarmacadam courts have not been in use for several years and the surfaces have deteriorated significantly with numerous cracks which have been exploited by vegetation and shrubs. General View of the tennis court 2

Dilapidated chain link fence (approximately 3m high) surrounds the green. A hawthorn hedge extends along the western and eastern side of the courts. Hedgerow to the east of the courts There are several mature trees (of good landscape value) to the south of the courts. To the north of the courts there is an area of open ground with small area (nominal 10 x 17m) of tarmac. 4
Mature trees to the south of courts Tarmac area adjoining courts and access 5
Access is presently via gates from Congleton Road (A527) which open onto the hard standing area. As part of this project, the access point will change slightly, but this will be done by the main contractor as part of the scheme to construct the pavilion and parking area. 3.0 Proposed Layout. The pavilion contractor will start with an exercise to reduce the levels on the tennis courts and use some of the material under the suspended floor of the building floor slab. The bowling green contractor will therefore be starting with a “level playing field” but will be working on site at the same time as the pavilion contractor. The two contractors will share welfare facilities, which are to be provided by the pavilion contractor. A site set‐up drawing is included in “2062‐06 Tender drawings”. 4.0 Tendering Procedure. One copy of the completed tender must be returned to The Executive Director and Chief Finance Officer of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council using the tender return label provided in the supplier evaluation questionnaire. Tender return envelopes must bear the tender return sticker only and no other distinguishing marks. Tenders must arrive no later than 12 noon on Friday 2nd May 2014. Tenders submitted after this deadline will not be accepted. Tenderers shall note that the Contract Sum is a fixed price. The Contract Price Fluctuations Clause is not included. The Tenderer’s attention is drawn to the need to satisfy himself as to the conditions on site. Copies of utility company plans are included in the tender documents and updated plans will be provided to 6
the successful contractor before works commence on site. All Tenderers are advised that they must not enter into any land or premises for the purpose of carrying out surveys or site investigation works without first obtaining the written approval of the Employer’s Representative and the owners and occupiers of the lands or premises affected by the works. The Employer does not bind itself to accept any design or tender. Contractors tendering do so at their own cost and their tender shall remain open for a period of TWELVE weeks from the due date for submission. The Contractor shall submit all details and drawings necessary for the Employer to make a full appraisal of the submission. Failure to provide adequate information may jeopardise full consideration of the tender. The Contractor must not omit any item or cost from his tender, the omission of which will cause the Works to be incomplete or not fit for purpose. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to include all items necessary for the completeness of the Works as set out in the Employer’s requirement. By submitting a tender the Contractor agrees that should obvious errors in pricing or arithmetical errors be discovered before acceptance of his offer in the Tender Sum Analysis, the errors shall be corrected in accordance with Alternative 2 contained in Section 10 of the NJCC Code of Procedure for Tendering for Design and Build. Site inspection should be carried out by prior arrangement with Club Design Ltd. 5.0 Health and Safety. The Contractor shall carry out the specified and associated works in accordance with all current legislation including the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM) where applicable. The Contractor shall submit a Health and Safety Plan to the CDM Co‐ordinator prior to commencing work. The Contractor shall ensure that his rates are adequate to meet the cost of making all necessary arrangements for the Health and Safety and welfare of all persons affected by the Construction work. As mentioned in section 3, welfare facilities will be provided by the Pavilion Contractor, but the Contractor must satisfy himself that his own operatives are properly cared for and any problems must be immediately identified to the CDM Co‐ordinator. 7

EMPLOYERS REQUIREMENTS. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS. 9.0 Bowling Green, Floodlights and Surround Path. The Bowling Green shall be designed to meet the design requirements set out in the publication “Natural Turf for Sport”(2011 revision) by Sport England, which details on pages 33 to 35 the profile of a crown green and the surround ditch. Whilst we accept that the publication refers to the construction of a natural turf green, the radii will apply to this artificial grass green. Adjustment to the stone layer must allow for a crown formation 380mm above the corner levels. Drainage must be allowed for using 100mm lateral drains across the green and a 150mm perimeter drain to connect to an outfall to be identified within 15m of the green. The design of the green must allow for all ducts to carry the wiring for the floodlights, the concrete bases for the floodlight columns and the tarmac surround path. The illustration shown here is taken from the Sport England publication and shows a crown height at 254mm above the corner levels. This is to adjusted on a pro rata basis to show the 380mm crown. 9.1 Quality of Materials and Workmanship Where and to the extent that materials, products and workmanship are not fully specified they are to be: All materials and constructions shall be robust and suitable for use at a public facility. Suitable for the purposes of the works stated in or reasonably to be inferred from the contract documents. In accordance with good building and/or engineering practice, including the relevant provisions of Current British/ European Standards. In accordance with the SAPCA’s Code of Practice for the Construction and Maintenance of Synthetic Turf Sports Pitches published by the Sports and Play Contractors’ Association (SAPCA) and to the satisfaction of the Employers Representative. 9.2 Construction tolerances, setting out, appearance and fit Tolerences will be identified in the tender and are to be agreed with the Employers Representative prior to commencement of works. The setting out construction and juxtaposition of components of the construction shall be such that 15
there is a satisfactory fit at junctions, joints and margins and that the finished work has a well aligned true and regular appearance. 9.3 Sub‐formation and Sub‐base The reduced level dig will be undertaken prior to commencement of the bowling green works by the pavilion contractor and will be left in a level state ready to start the bowling green works. The contractor is to inspect the ground and make any necessary adjustments. Any filling should be carried out in layers not exceeding 150 mm thickness and each layer should be compacted before the next is spread. Any soft spots shall be excavated and replaced with imported crushed rock free from detritus material, in accordance with the Department of Transport (DOT) Specification for Highway Works (Class 6F1 or 6F2). The prepared formation shall be trimmed to the tolerance of ±25 mm and have a minimum undrained shear strength of at least 50 kN/m2 or a minimum California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 2 %. The prepared sub‐formation shall be treated with a total weed killer selected to minimise the risk of future weed growth within the construction and applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s specified application rate. A geotextile membrane shall be laid over the sub‐formation. Joints shall overlap by at least 300 mm. The depth of the sub‐base shall be determined to satisfy the specified design criteria. We have assumed a nominal depth of 200mm of type 3 free draining stone, to be finished and laser graded using 0‐4mm granite. The sub‐base should resist the effects of frost or drought that may be expected to occur in a return cycle of once every 50 years, should provide stability to the finished surface such that in use it shall not move outside the tolerances for surface regularity over a period of 10 years, should have an insitu density of not less than 95 % of the maximum dry density when tested in accordance with BS 1377 Part 4 (2.5 kg method) and the permeability of the finished sub base shall be greater than 500 mm/hr. 9.4 Drainage The Contractor shall design and install a closely spaced system of surface water drains that will: (a) Ensure that all surface water is removed from the green at a rate greater than 100 mm/hr and to ensure that no surface flooding will occur during heavy storms, or the facility will not be lost either through rain at the highest intensity which may be expected to occur once every five years or through continuous rainfall of 50 mm over a 24 hour period. (b) Protect the installation from the effects of ground or surface water from the areas surrounding the green. (c) Ensure no water remains present in the construction so that it may result in a reduction of the load bearing capacity of the sub‐formation or damage to the construction from the actions of frost. (d) The Contractor shall install a closely spaced system of surface water drains. Drainage trenches shall be a minimum of 450 mm deep from subformation level by 300 mm wide. The trenches shall be fitted with 100 mm (minimum diameter) perforated plastic drainage pipe and be backfilled with clean graded round/sub rounded gravel. (e)The drainage system shall be designed so as to ensure that all surface water is removed from the 16
sub base at a rate greater than 750 mm/hr. (f) Perforated drainage pipe shall comply with BS 4962 and be laid to a minimum fall of 0.5 % (1:200). (g) Rodding eyes with cast iron covers shall be installed at each corner of the green. (h) Existing drains damaged or cut through during the construction shall be repaired and reconnected or dealt with as otherwise agreed with the Employers Representative. (i) Connect to the new surface water drainage system to be confirmed on‐site and agreed by the Employers Representative. (j) If an outfall cannot be identified, design and install a soakaway pit in a position to be agreed. 9.5 Macadam binding course and surfacing course The client wishes to be given two options for the construction of the bowling green – one for a dynamic base and one for an engineered base. The surfacing course shall be laid to satisfy the construction tolerances and requirements to be agreed prior to construction start. 9.6 Surfacing requirements Allow for an approved Artificial Grass Surface and underlay / shockpad. 9.7 Surround Path The prepared subformation shall be treated with a total weedkiller selected to minimise the risk of future weed growth within the construction and applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s specified application rate. Supply and install 150mm x 50mm pcc edging kerbs. Supply and lay type 1 sub‐base. A geotextile membrane shall be laid over the sub‐formation. Joints shall overlap by at least 300 mm. Supply and construct 1.8m wide surround path in Marshall Pedesta Natural 600x600 pavings. 9.8 Floodlights. A floodlight scheme has been prepared by Abacus Lighting, ref UKS10039. Details of the proposed lighting columns are included in Appendix A and the proposed lighting flood spill plan is included with the tender drawings. The contractor shall allow for the supply and installation of 4no 10m columns to carry the lamps specified in that design and to ensure that the floodlight spill achieves the lux contours shown in that design. The floodlights are to be connected to the power supply in the pavilion. Allow for all ducts to carry the wiring to the columns from the building. Allow to install the columns as part of the construction of the bowling green. Commissioning of the floodlights will only be possible after the power supply to the pavilion is live, so the contractor will have to allow for a return visit to commission the floodlights. 17
9.9 Reinstatement. On completion of the works the site shall be left in a clean and tidy condition. All damage caused to surrounding areas and surfaces shall be reinstated (including spoil disposal and re‐seeding of all bare areas). All areas immediately abutting the facilities (including paths) shall be cultivated and graded to marry through neatly with the surrounding ground before seeding and maintaining until a grass cover has been achieved. 10. Warranties. The Contractor shall provide written warranties for the work including surfaces, floodlights, switch gear and equipment provided under this contract. Warranties for all surfaces shall state that the properties of the combined surface and foundation construction shall be retained throughout the defects liability period and for a further period as agreed by the Employer and Contractor (in writing) together with any agreed limitations and conditions. The Contractor shall further undertake as part of the warranty that any remedial work or repair necessary under the terms of the warranty will be completed with 28 days of notification in writing by the Employer or Employer’s Representative that remedial work is required and repairs will be carried out with materials identical to the original installation and at such times as may be agreed with the Employer or Employer’s Representative such that the planned programme of activities shall not be affected. 18
