The site came with both physical and ecological constraints, including; traversing main sewers, close proximity to the railway, the presence of Great Crested Newts and other amphibians / reptiles. As such, this project has experienced some delays. Nevertheless, the scheme has been designed around the physical constraints and CBC obtained a License from Natural England to clear the site, which was successfully completed in September 2019. The Council would like to use this development as an opportunity to "pilot" ultra-low energy homes to help tackle environmental concerns and fuel poverty within the Borough. Therefore, the Council now wishes to appoint a competent design & build contractor (ideally with experience of delivering ultra-low energy homes) to complete the detailed technical design and build these dwellings, including all associated works. To this end, it has prepared this single-stage fixed lump sum tender. In order to evaluate the cost benefit of these ultra-low energy homes, all Bidders are required to submit both a Primary Tender (Option 1) for the provision of ultra-low energy homes and a Secondary "alternative" Tender (Option 2) for homes that simply meet the minimum requirements of the current Building Regulations. It will be for Bidders to determine how they reduce the use of energy within their scheme (presumably using a combination of improvements to the building fabric and technology) and the extent of that reduction, while optimising the balance between energy savings and the resulting increases in installation costs.
