The council are inviting compliant Tender options for (i) A recirculated scheme (ii) A once used freshwater scheme (where all excess water is fed back into the mains sewer) Tenderers are invited to submit one scheme for each option and the Council will proceed with the project based on the scheme that most satisfies its requirements. If a tenderer chooses to submit an option for one scheme only, please provide details as to why a scheme for the other option was not submitted. Tenders for each option will be evaluated in accordance with paragraph 6. The splash pad is fully aligned to the commitment set out in the Council Plan to provide great facilities for its residents. THE PROJECT MUST TO BE COMPLETED BY THE 25TH MARCH 2016 AT THE LATEST - THIS IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT. The contractor will be required to manage the scheme to ensure that the project is delivered to the fixed budget - any overspend above this amount would be the responsibility of the contractor. A 100% weighting will be applied to the quality element of the tender response.
