Security External Works - Entrance and Boundary Wall Works

Description

The Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle (LFCG) is a French Lycee under direct management of the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Francais ? l'Etranger), which is the educational branch of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. LFCG has celebrated its centenary in 2015 and is now catering for more than 3000 students on four sites. The main site in South Kensington has more than 2000 students from Reception Year to Six Form. The site is composed of a set of seven heterogeneous buildings from different periods (1850 to 1980), two of which are listed buildings. These two listed buildings belong to the Thurloe Estate and Smiths Charity Conservation area. The site is surrounded by another conservation area which is Queensgate Conservation area. More details on the conservation area can be found on the RBKC website. The roundabout area on Queensberry Way is the main entrance for students. This represents a flow of around 2700 people going in and out several times a day. The area is predominately used by pedestrians and has limited access for vehicles using Queensberry Way (dead-end lane). The Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle has reinforced the security of its perimeter around the students' entrance area on its main site, including wall, fencing and gates. As part of the project to reinforce its boundaries, the Lycee has undertaken a number of works over the past years including the construction of a new perimeter wall along the roundabout area on Queensberry Way, which is the main entrance for students. LFCG is now seeking to engage a qualified contractor to proceed with the second phase of these works which involves works on public Realm. Scope of procurement: The Lycee intends to procure a competent contractor via a two-stage JCT Design & Build contract for this project. It is anticipated that the selected contractor would be responsible for the following activities: - Carry out detailed ground surveys - Supply and installation of street bollards - Supply and installation of street furniture (lighting, benches, bike racks) - Management and delivery of section 50 application - Comply with the Lycee's security requirements
