Skate Park Refurbishment Programme

Description

There are 12 public skate parks in West Lothian Council, including the well known Livingston Skate Park (Almondvale Skate Park). The skate parks range in size and design, including full concrete and ramps. West Lothian Council has dedicated a significant budget over the course of the next 3 years, for a professional review of the condition of all assets, as well as for any repairs required. The aim of the project is to bring all skate park assets back to a safe, fit-for-purpose condition and protect these assets long term from falling into disrepair and from closure. Lot 1: 1.Investigation and Assessment Reporting of all 12 skate parks. Delivery deadline – prior to end of financial year (31 March 2024) Winning contractor to visit each site and carry out all necessary investigation, including any structural testing to determine the condition, safety risks, existing faults, predicted future faults etc. The findings are to be presented in a report format and highlight a list of required ‘actions’ for the Council to take forward, ranked in terms of priority. The report should also include recommendations on general improvements which the Council may consider. 2. Repair and improvement works Delivery deadline – min. 2 projects (i.e. 2 skate parks are repaired) each financial year, with the final deadline at end of financial year 2026 (31 March 2026) Winning contractor to carry out full repair and improvement works at the chosen skate park, including supply of materials, installation works, site works, ground works, labour, site security etc. The choice of skate park and extents of works will be agreed with the client beforehand and based on the results of the Investigation and Assessment Reporting, as carried out prior. West Lothian Council have allocated budgets provisionally against named skate parks until 2026, however the findings of the reports may influence the designation of the budgets.
