ENV-21-22-01 Kirkholt Phase 6a Fencing & Driveways

The Kirkholt Phase 6a Environmental Improvement contract (ENV-21-22-01) will be delivered in one of RBH's largest neighbourhoods, Kirkholt and would see the continuation of previous phases of fencing and driveway works in the next area identified for investment. The contract will involve the following elements of work to approximately 89 RBH properties: • Installation of in-curtilage block paved SUD's compliant driveways (where feasible) including vehicle drop crossings/kerbs, steel vehicular access gates; • Replacement of existing timber fencing (front gardens only) with 1.0m high steel ball top fencing and single steel pedestrian access gates; • Replacement of existing side divider fencing (RBH boundaries only) with 1.0m high close board timber fencing set on concrete posts; • Replacement of existing flagged front garden and perimeter paths with new concrete flagged paths; • Associated soft and hard landscaping works including low level flag on edge retaining walls, concrete mowing trims, pcc pin kerbs, removal/pruning of trees, shrubs, privets and planting to accommodate the above works, grading of land, top soiling and seeding to reinstate gardens where disrupted by the work.

Please note that we have built in an option to extend this contract for 6 months from April/May 2022 until October/November 2022 for phase 6b Fencing & Driveways. These works are similar to phase 6a Fencing & Driveways and costs will be agreed with the successful bidder for phase 6a Fencing & Driveways. However we reserve the right to re-tender for phase 6b Fencing & Driveways if we feel that the prices may not be providing value for money.
