Description

Minehead Town Council invites suitably qualified and experienced contractors to submit tenders for the conversion of the former storm shelter within Blenheim Gardens, Minehead into modern public convenience facilities together with the refurbishment and conversion of a separate toilet building within the gardens to provide fully accessible toilet accommodation and associated storage facilities. The site occupies a prominent position within Blenheim Gardens, Minehead's principal public open space, and lies within the Wellington Square Conservation Area. The Council wishes to deliver attractive, durable, accessible and vandal-resistant facilities whilst preserving the architectural character and appearance of the existing buildings. The works comprise the alteration, refurbishment and fit out of two existing buildings. The former storm shelter will be converted to provide male and female public toilet accommodation, baby changing facilities and associated handwashing facilities. A separate building within the gardens will be refurbished to provide a fully accessible toilet facility together with independent storage accommodation. The project includes, but is not limited to, demolition and alteration works, drainage works, utility connections, plumbing and sanitary installations, electrical installations, ventilation systems, roofing replacement and repairs, internal finishes, accessibility improvements, external repairs, testing, commissioning and all associated works necessary to provide fully operational public convenience facilities. The successful contractor will be responsible for providing all labour, materials, plant, supervision and specialist subcontractors required to complete the works. Responsibilities will include project management, utility provider liaison, Building Regulations compliance, testing, commissioning, certification and handover. Particular emphasis is placed upon durability, long-term maintainability, accessibility and resistance to vandalism. Materials, fixtures, fittings and finishes must be suitable for intensive public use and capable of withstanding a coastal environment exposed to wind-driven rain, salt-laden air and high seasonal visitor numbers. Tenderers shall demonstrate relevant experience in the successful delivery of comparable construction and refurbishment projects and provide evidence of their ability to meet programme requirements. The completed facilities must be fully operational and available for public use no later than 1 March 2027. The Council reserves the right not to accept the lowest or any tender received and reserves the right to amend, suspend, abandon or recommence the procurement process at any stage.
