Description of the procurement

Avon Fire Authority are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced main Contractor to deliver the Major Refurbishment of Bedminster Fire Station, Hartcliffe Way, Bedminster BS3 5RN. This refurbishment will be run by the main Contractor under the JCT Building Contract, the proposed form of procurement will be traditional with some elements of contractor’s design. The main Contractor will also preform the main duties and responsibilities of the Principal Contractor, as defined under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
Bedminster Fire Station requires major refurbishment and an extension to the rear of the building including new domestic / sleeping accommodation, Lecture facility and refurbishment of the existing ground floor office building in order to provide a modern, functional and fit for purpose facility for the future.
A recent ground floor extension has suffered a major failure associated with dry rot in the floor joists and has subsequently been stripped out internally. Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) must maintain an operational service from the site throughout the redevelopment. Bedminster Fire Station is operation 24/7 365 days of the year. Therefore, consideration of how the services accommodation and response requirements can be maintained is vital element of this scheme.
