The project will comprise of a full design team to provide project management and design consultancy services for the full design, statutory approvals, planning, fire and DAC, tendering process, procurement and subsequent periodic inspections and certification of construction of the following works to Glencastle National School, Ballina, Co. Mayo through an open procedure on eTenders. A new extension is to be constructed, based on the suggested schedule of overall accommodation for 1X ASD and 1x S&P class with a mainstream setting, with a Gross floor area of 578 m2, as well as the addition of six new car parking spaces, mini-bus queuing on the site and improvements to the existing set down area to the front of the school. The new building should be a standalone single story block and should be located on the site so as to facilitate appropriate mini bus set down and drop off under a covered canopy. It should have a covered external link to the existing 1 968 mainstream block and should help distinguish the visitor’s main entrance to the school. If the design teams preferred design option is to locate the new building forward of the established building line from the road, a pre-planning consultation with Mayo County Council will be important before a planning application is lodged. Any loss of existing amenities such as play areas or sensory garden as a result of the preferred design option location will need to be replaced as part of the works. When situation the main entrance and play areas, the DT should be cognisant of the exposure of the site to the prevailing winds. The above description is indicative of the size and nature of the project but the extent of accommodation to be provided may increase or decrease. Additional accommodation may be added to the brief including the provision of an additional school (on the same site or sites) at the discretion of the contracting authority. Any additional accommodation added at the discretion of the contracting authority is subject to the restrictions as set out.
