| Work Element | Description of Works |
|---|---|
| Condition Survey | Pre-Construction SurveyA pre start condition survey must be carried out within all areas likely to be affected, which shall contain written and photographic evidence of the existing conditions. The Service Provider is to identify any areas of concern that may result in additional works being necessary, together with proposed remedial recommendations, within the scope of works. The condition survey is to be agreed with Westminster City Council and upon conclusion of the works the Service Provider is to ensure the condition of any areas affected by the works are handed over to Westminster City Council in no worse a condition than at pre-commencement stage. The condition was a non-intrusive survey carried out by Checkmate Fire. The Service Provider should carry out additional surveys to capture further information on the scope of works, where required. Fire compartmentation surveyThe Service Provider is to commission a full fire compartmentation survey of the building. The survey (and any subsequent works) must be undertaken by a registered member of an independent certification body (FIRAS; BM TRADA). |
| Access Required | The Service Provider will need to acquaint themselves with the access arrangements available and provide a block-specific proposal to facilitate the works necessary. It is anticipated that this proposal will be optimised to provide the best value-for-money project-wide access proposals. Access will also be required into the residents’ properties to undertake some of the works elements described.All access proposals are to be identified and fully costed by the Service Provider within their Project Execution Plan (PEP).Should there be any reason that specific access arrangements cannot be fully evaluated and costed for then the Service Provider should identify these together with a defined Provisional allowance within their PEP for each specific item/ area. |
| Builders Work in Connection with the works | Carry out all builders work in connection with the works including subsequent making good of all disturbed finishes to a standard acceptable by Westminster City Council. Where the area of decorative repair is less than 20% of the whole painted area and the substrate is sound and without multiple paint layers or wallcoverings, then the application of a water based, emulsion paint to the affected area will be sufficient. If the area of repair is greater than 20%, then the whole painted area must be covered using a suitable, certified product. |
| Fire Safety Works | See client brief |
| Fire Door Works | See client brief |
| Asbestos Management | The contractor shall comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements with respect to Asbestos. An refurbishment and demolition survey (R&D) has been undertaken to the areas of work affected. As the design develops there maybe areas of work which were not anticipated at the time of the client brief production. If further R&D surveys are required, the contractor shall notify the client so further surveys can be undertaken. |
| Other Potentially Hazardous Circumstances | In addition to Asbestos management (as noted above) there may be other potentially hazardous circumstances that the Service Provider will need to address.Other hazards that may be present or that need considering include but not are limited to:• Lead Paint• Dust• Ventilation of Solvents and Fumes• Noise• Other Hazardous Substances The service provider is not expected to come into contact with lead paint or any other hazardous materials / circumstances during this works but should this be the case the service provider is to highlight the issue for Westminster City Council to investigate. Should an issue arise the service provider is to recommend additional measures that may be deemed necessary to prevent re-contamination. The service provider is to review the risk register for further information. |
| Asset Tagging | Appoint an asset tagging company (Stics AMS or approved equivalent) to supply, install and carry out the installation, programming and commissioning of asset tags to new fire doorsets. The Service Provider is to provide a proposed Asset Tagging Register of all components for review and approval by Westminster City Council. |
