Every potential contractor will have their own preferred designs, equipment suppliers and installation methods. In recognition of this the tender documents are not prescriptive in detail but a specification for the performance and function of the completed installation is included. However the requirements laid out in the document are the minimum specification required and any modification to this standard such that a facility or service is removed or degraded will require the approval in writing of Dorchester Town Council. A new ground source heat pump system will be installed within the Pavilion to provide heat and hot water. Replacement heat emitters will be provided to deliver the required levels of heat to the designated areas within the Pavilion. Hot water will be stored and made available to users of the changing rooms, configured to the correct capacity to ensure adequate supply is available at peak usage times. The whole system should be designed to be as energy efficient as possible both in terms of thermal efficiency and heat distribution efficiency. The Tenderer will supply, install and commission all components and controls to make a successful fully operational heat and hot water system. Any offer submitted should include the following: The design, supply, installation and commissioning of a complete ground source heating system as specified in this document. The removal of existing and redundant equipment including heaters, cylinders and pipe work as necessary. The design, supply and installation of the hydraulic interface between the new ground source system and the existing heating/supply systems. The design, supply and installation of a control system for the heat pump and heat distribution system.
