Project Objectives and Outputs

Objectives

1. DPC wishes to replace all sodium lanterns with LED fittings to illuminate footpaths and road areas using existing columns in their current locations. Where lanterns are mounted on wooden poles, new pole brackets will be required to mount the new LED fitting.

2. During the works the successful tenderer will be expected to attend weekly meetings to monitor progress.
3. The successful tenderer will only use their own trained labour or suitable subcontractors which they have previously approved. Equipment used shall comply with all relevant British Standards. Installation methods shall comply with BS 7671:2018 IET regulations.
4. The successful tenderer will be completely responsible for compliance with all health and safety requirements including Construction and Design Management (CDM) if required. This includes responsibility for any subcontractors or specialists being engaged on the contract.
5. The successful tenderer will be responsible for the full management of the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) service works where required and all traffic management.
6. On completion of the contract, the successful contractor will hand over to DPC a completed contract manual containing details of the luminaires, columns, and electrical warranties, etc.
7. Any queries regarding the content or specification contained in this document should, in the first instance, be referred to the Parish Clerk via email at clerk@downleyparishcouncil.org.
