Proposed scheme is to include the retrofit façade upgrades to two existing buildings.
Façade upgrade will include over cladding the existing buildings (namely, Margam Building and Union House Building) with an improvement in the level of insulation on the external walls, and replacement of the glazing and doors where applicable.
This project is a retrofit intervention associated with a wider decarbonisation scheme for the University, the buildings comprise of one 3 storey academic building (of mixed uses) and one 4 storey academic/student activity building, and the Works will take place in a live environment.
Initially, tenderer’s will be appointed on a two-stage basis with an evaluation of preliminaries, design fees and fee percentage against the available design for the Margam building which is at a more advanced stage due to external funding streams.
During the coming months, the design for Union House building shall be progressed by the client to the point of a completed coordinated RIBA Stage 3 design, where it can be priced for further tender submission.
Market rates and conditions utilised for the initial stages of tender shall form the benchmark for consideration of the Union House tender prices.
It remains at the Employer’s discretion to utilise this mechanism of procurement or commence an entirely new process.
