Wincanton Public Realm Enhancement Design

South Somerset District Council is seeking to commission the design of key public realm schemes in Wincanton by reviewing and developing concept proposals and establishing a palette of materials and designs. We wish to develop detailed designs to RIBA Stage 6 to enable construction at four key project areas.

The successful submission will be from a company (or consortium) with a design team comprising landscape architects, highway engineers, quantity surveyors and cost consultants to deliver this commission.Relevant design team members will be expected to fulfil a technical supervision and advisory role through RIBA5-6 (Highway Safety Audit 3 and 4).

A review point will be built in at the end of RIBA 3, the details of which will be agreed with the preferred contractor but this is likely to include progress against submitted project plan, availability of funds to implement schemes, external factors such as organisational change or market changes.

The commission has the following deliverables

• a)Public realm:
• b)Review of wayfinding
• c)Design and location of A303 brown signs together with a route audit
• d)Review street lighting provision and wider outdoor lighting options
• e)Project management
