II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The proposed development comprises a 10,176m2 single commercial warehouse (B8 Use Class) including flexible ancillary offices (5% of total), together with 143 car parking spaces, 11 HGV parking spaces plus 12 loading bays, covered cycle storage for 38 cycles and landscaping to all boundaries.
The flexible two-storey office block is located on the prominent southwest elevation, so that it presents an attractive appearance to the scheme when viewed from the A460 Cannock Road. The office elevations are intended to create a high-quality business park environment, using areas of glazing to emphasise prominent
entrance areas, and providing focal points, clearly visible from the approach to the buildings.
The main car parking area is in front of the offices providing immediate access and ensuring that cars and HGVs are separated at the earliest opportunity. Pedestrian access routes have been connected back to the existing footpaths on the estate road which in turn link back to existing provision on the A460 Cannock
Road.
The Landscaping Scheme is key to the development and is made up of a combination of tree planting, amenity planting, and native planting to assist the integration of the proposed development into the existing good quality landscape at Vernon Park and visual environment and create a high-quality setting for passers-by and
staff. The landscaping scheme is being developed in accordance with the ecological recommendations and alongside native species, will include wildflower planting within the amenity area. Existing trees on the boundary are to be protected.
A high standard of sustainability is being targeted for the development which will utilise renewable technology in the form of PV panels located on the roof. In order to support an aspiration towards the target of net zero operational carbon, the MEP services will be based on an 'all electric' strategy which takes advantage of the recent change in the carbon factors of electricity. This will include heating and cooling provided by VRF with local fan coil units and ventilation with high efficiency heat recovery. Lighting shall be LED throughout and will be complete with intelligent controls for occupancy and daylight. The development is targeting BREEAM excellent which is reflected in the design.
The schemes will be procured under individual JCT 2016 design and build forms of contract with Client amendments, which are enclosed in the tender documentation.
The intent is for the Architect (UMC Architects), Civil and Structural (Rodgers Leask Ltd) designers to be novated to the successful Contractor. The appointed M&E Consultant (Couch Perry Wilkes) will be retained by the Employer during construction in a monitoring engineer role.
