1) Project Outline Name of scheme

Tender to build council housing on 3 garage sites in Bletchley

Nature of works To construct dwellings for the Council Location Site 1:Neath Crescent, Bletchley

Milton Keynes MK3 6LN Site 2: St. Georges Road, Bletchley Milton Keynes Site 3: Whiteley Crescent Bletchley Milton Keynes

Employer Milton Keynes Council The Council wishes to appoint a contractor to design, develop, construct and subsequently provide to the Council dwellings with associated services, drainage and external works. The land is owned by the Council. The contractor will be constructing the dwellings on a design and build basis. The contractor will therefore need to provide in its tender a fixed price that takes into account all design, construction, planning, project management, Construction Design and Management Regulations procedures, site supervision, building control liaison and all or any other related services in respect of the design and construction of these dwellings. The dwellings will be bungalows built to full ‘wheelchair standard’ for social rent that would be suitable for older people and/or people with disabilities. The scheme will be for social rented housing. The required dwelling numbers, mix & layout are set out in the Development Briefs which accompany this Tender Specification. The properties should be built to the following space standards:

• 1 Bedroom 2 person Bungalows @ 55 – 60m2 • 2 Bedroom 3 person Bungalows @ 70 – 75m2

As well as complying with the Tender Specification the works must comply with:

• The Development Brief for the site • The NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (Design and Build); • The terms of any planning permission granted by the Council and • The terms of any Building Regulations Approval

The sites are residents’ parking area of garages which have asbestos in the construction. Consequently there are two distinct elements to the project which the contractor should price separately on the Cost Sum Analysis that forms part of the Tender:

• Demolition and clearance of the garages and all associated material & any rubbish in accordance with Appendix 2



4

• Construction of the new dwellings The Council will not be obliged to accept tenders for both elements of the project. Off-Site Construction The Council’s preference will be for the properties to be built on an “Off-Site Construction basis”. This is to ensure that:

• Properties are built and occupied as quickly as possible • The highest possible levels of thermal efficiency are achieved • Potential disruption to existing residents is minimised due to the constrained nature

of the site Consequently the Council will prefer to see the use of an Offsite Construction Method (as defined by the Construction Industry Council in its ‘Offsite Housing Review’ February 2013). The Contractor will be required to submit full give details of the Method that it proposes to use and the Level (as set out in ‘Build Offsite Glossary of Terms’ 2013, page 7 - available at http://www.buildoffsite.com/pdf/publications/BoS%20Glossary%20of%20terms%202013%20(web).pdf) The Council does not require “Level 4 Complete Buildings” The system chosen by the contractor must be an accredited system (such as the “Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) – see http://www.buildoffsite.com/pdf/press%20release/2013/BOPAS_Launch_Press_Release_Buildoffsite.pdf ) that will deliver a consistent performance over a determined durability of 60 years and be mortgageable for a minimum of 60 years.

In April 2012 the Council adopted its own Residential Design Guide as a Supplementary Planning Document. The aim of the New Residential Development Design Guide SPD is to ensure that a high quality of new residential developments throughout the borough of Milton Keynes is achieved. It will provide guidance regarding the character of new development, streets, parking and detailed design appearance of buildings amongst other design elements that make up residential neighbourhoods. It will both serve as a Development Management tool in assessing planning proposals and will also provide clear direction to developers as to what the Council expects in terms of design quality for new residential developments. Consequently all proposals will need to demonstrate conformity to the Design Guide which can be accessed at the link below: http://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/development-control/displayarticle.asp?ID=73326

2) The Need for Wheelchair Housing in Milton Keynes The Milton Keynes Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) Update 2009 provided a profile of households with supported housing and health needs. The profile found that there were 2,500 households who:

• Had at least one member of their household with a health problem, and • That their health problems affected their housing requirements; and • Their homes were not currently adequately adjusted to meet their health problems.

This equated to 2.7% of households in Milton Keynes. The problems that these households identified were with bathing and showering, climbing stairs and general mobility. All of these were considered to be natural consequences of the health problems being linked to mobility and old age.i From the 2,500 households, the majority (71%) felt that their current home could be adapted to meet their needs and that the majority of these households required bathroom adaptations, stair lifts and handrails to be fitted. Of the remainder, 250 households wanted to move. Arguably this could indicate the level of need for housing specially designed to meet the health needs of the borough. A report by Habinteg Housing Association and London South Bank University in 2010ii sets out a methodology for calculating the unmet housing need of wheelchair user households at a local authority level. The methodology involves the following approach: A. Taking the regional figure for the percentage of all households that are wheelchair user

households (for the South East region this was 2%); B. Multiply this by the number of households in the local authority (as at 1st April 2011 this

was 101,100); C. Multiply this by the regional figure for the percentage of wheelchair user households

with unmet housing need (5%). So for Milton Keynes the figure would be 101 wheelchair user households with unmet housing need. As at May 2012 the Council had 34 households in “Band 1” of its Housing Options scheme who urgently needed wheelchair standard housing.

3) The Site Site Description and location The sites are situated in Bletchley, Milton Keynes in the West Bletchley Parish. A description of the site context and a plan showing the location of each site is set out in the relevant Development Briefs that accompany this Tender Specification. The sites are residents’ parking area of garages. The garages will need to be demolished as part of the re-development of the site and all material and rubbish cleared away. Attention is drawn to the fact that asbestos is likely to be present (as the damp proof courses are likely to be bitumen based containing asbestos). The contractor’s attention is also drawn to the fact that the St Georges Road site is opposite The Chestnuts School. CONSEQUENTLY DELIVERIES WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED ON MONDAYS TO FRIDAYS DURING TERM TIMES BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9AM - 2.30PM AND THEN 3.30PM – 5PM. Archaeology and conservation Since the sites are currently being used for garages there are no concerns with regard to archaeology and conservation. Ecology Since the sites are currently being used for garages there are no concerns with regard to ecology. There are no trees or bushes that would provide a suitable habitat to wildlife that would lead to development restrictions and/or any delays. However the contractor would need to carry out an ecological survey before applying for planning permission. With regards to Whiteley Crescent, the contractor’s attention is drawn to advice from the Council’s Tree Officer that all trees on site can be removed provided that their loss is mitigated with replanting nearby, potentially in the local park. The contractor will be required to supply a tree report to comply with BS 5837:2012 (Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction-Recommendations) up the tree retention (quality) categories and any other potential impacts/conflicts once the design layout has been finalised. Topography Details of the topography of the sites are set out in the relevant Development Briefs that accompany this Specification. Arrangements for visiting the site The contractor shall be deemed to have visited the site prior to submitting its tender and to have acquainted itself with means of access, the nature of the work to be executed, the nature of the site and all other circumstances affecting the execution of the works such as supply of and conditions affecting local labour, carriage, haulage, unloading, scaffolding and the like. No claim will be allowed on account of any omission or error arising from the lack of knowledge of such matters.



9

Site Investigation The sites have a hard-standing surface with some garages. The British Geological Survey Maps show that the sites at Neath Crescent and St. Georges Road, the soil are MK Drift of Till Mid Pleistocene underlain by Oxford Clay. With regards to the site at Whiteley Crescent, the site is Oxford Clay and Mudstone formation. The sites are not in an area where a Geological Radon Assessment will be required for new build. There are no environmentally significant issue in the Council’s databases. The sites would appear to be very simple geologically and in terms of any pollution/contamination issue. The contractor is to make all/further investigations as necessary to ensure a suitable knowledge of the existing site conditions sufficient to complete the works. Existing mains/services The contractor must ascertain for itself the location and availability of main services, sewers etc and shall allow for charges and costs in connection. The contractor shall be responsible for determining the runs of existing services and drainage and shall be held liable for any damage they may sustain as a result of the Works. The contractor shall allow for all necessary diversions of existing services. Contamination The contractor is to make further investigations as necessary to ensure a suitable knowledge of any existing contamination sufficient to complete the works. The contractor’s attention is drawn to the fact that the existing garages have asbestos roofs and will require specialist handling during demolition.



10

4) Form of Contract The NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (Design and Build) will comprise the basis for the Form of Contract which shall be negotiated between the Council and the successful contractor. 5) Design & Construction The contractor shall design and construct all dwellings in compliance with the guidance regulations requirements and specifications set down in:

Any system used must be manufactured by a member of the UK Timber Frame Association. The contractor will also notify Bucks Fire and Rescue Service using the "SiteSafe" on-line notification process. Sustainability All timber used in the development is to comply with current sustainability/green policies and to be obtained from an acknowledged sustainable source. The Contractor shall provide documentation from the supplier that all solid timber is from a well managed regulated source confirming supply and volume of timber supplied and its source from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), PEFC (Pan European Forest Certification) or SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative). Similarly all stains for external fencing is to be harmless to plants, humans and animals. Potentially harmful emissions are to be kept to a minimum, especially where formaldehyde is used (i.e. damp course treatment, insulation). Urea formaldehyde foam cavity insulation (UFFI) shall not be used and the use of UFFI in any product incorporated is to be avoided. Any timber treatment shall be carried out off site where possible. Any particle board shall conform to BSEN312. Any medium density board shall conform to BSEN622-5. The use of CFCs and Huffs in any product incorporated is to be avoided. Where possible materials with a zero ODP (ozone depletion potential) shall be used. If insulants are incorporated they shall have ODP of no more than 0.10. No added lead in paints. Lead free solder is to be used. Low Carbon Living Strategy The contractor will need to demonstrate in its tender how the development will conform to the Council’s Low Carbon Living Strategy and Action Plan available on its web site at the following address: http://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/mklowcarbonliving/ Please contact Neil Allen in the Building Control and Sustainability team for further information – 01908 - 252365 Flat Floor Showers All properties must be designed and built with flat floor showers instead of baths.

Automatic Water Suppression Systems (Domestic Sprinkler Systems) Research for the Department for Communities and Local Government has shown that a number of socio-demographic and behavioural factors are known to increase the risk of experiencing a domestic fire, and of being killed once a fire has started. Factors that increase the risk of suffering a domestic fire include households with a disability and households with older people. Consequently it is important to enhance the fire protection aspects of the properties given that they are intended for wheelchair users with physical disabilities. The Chief Fire Officers Association strongly supports the installation of Automatic Water Suppression Systems (AWSS, i.e. domestic sprinkler systems. Consequently the contractor will need to include in its tender an Automatic Water Suppression System together with a firm alarm and detection system linked to a remote 24 hour call centre in line with the recommendations of the Chief Fire Officers Association as set out in their guidance “A GUIDE TO AUTOMATIC WATER SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS (AWSS) AND THEIR PRACTICAL APPLICATION”. It can be obtained at the following address: http://www.cfoa.org.uk/11543 This item would be in addition to and not a replacement for the normal requirements of the Building Regulations.
