Planning and Heritage Consultancy

Tender Clarification Number 5 Q1 Is there a required font type/size which needs to be used for the tender submission? A1 No Q2 Is there an indicative budget for the planning and heritage work? A2 Appendix H Fee Summary tab identified the over all budget construction value (excluding VAT) of £7,315,000 - to assist further the value anticipated per workstream is CH1 £1,597,000 CH2 £1,005,364 CH3 £546,000 BP1 £2,062,000 FLD2 £125,000 HR1 £497,532 HR2 £200,737 HR3 £226,367 AC1 £720,000 AC3 £100,000 AD1 £60,000 AD2 £175,000 Q3 Could you please provide more information on what is required on the request for 'examples of value management in the construction phase' stipulated under Section 4 of the Quality Evaluation? Our involvement in this stage or projects is usually limited, so would be helpful to understand more information about what is required here. A3 The Planning / heritage role is a pivotal role in securing planning permission and listed building consent and then ensuing this is delivered through to occupation. The scope of services RIBA Stage 5 in the ITT sets out the works envisaged in this phase and we need you to show examples of how you have supported maximising construction budget - examples could be grouping and early determination of discharge applications to support timely construction (samples sign off / approvals) and limiting discharge costs, through to setting up an agenda for early inspections to verify compliance to avoid abortive works etc. Q4 Does the client have a target number of planning/listed building consent applications they would like to achieve the works in? We will be able to advise on this as needed if successful, but if there is indicative phasing that would be helpful to understand. A4 Appendix H shows the indicative timeline and the individual workstreams are likely to be treated separately as regards applications but no target number has been set. Q5 We understand that a fixed fee is sought for this scope of works, though we will need to include reasonable assumptions and limitations in our fee proposal to allow for unforeseen issues which may arise, leading to protraction of the scope and associated works. Would this be acceptable? A5 We are seeking fixed fee submissions and we are not looking to set a "cap" or limit on number of applications. Q6 Can the contract examples requested under Section 7 be the same as the case studies provided for Section 2 of the Quality Evaluation? A6 We have no objection to the same case studies being used subject to them being relevant and providing demonstration of the experience required
