Tender: Design and Construction of Asphalt Pump Track at Clifford Park, Kingsteignton

About

Kingsteignton Town Council is seeking a contractor for the design and construction of a new asphalt pump track at Clifford Park, Kingsteignton, Devon. The contract covers site preparation, setting aside topsoil for berm dressing, and installation of drainage including an 80mm diameter PVC coil pipe laid centrally in a trench, wrapped in geotextile and backfilled with 40mm clean angular stone to a ditch approximately 10 metres from the track. The track will use largely on-site material for the sub-base, a geotextile (1000 gauge) and 200mm of type one stone foundation, and a specialist 6mm asphalt wearing course compacted to an 80mm final depth. The layout includes a start ramp/rider waiting zone up to 2m high and 2m wide, 3 x 180° and 2 x 90° berms at 0.8m height with entry/exit rollers, 4 rhythm sections of 1.8m riding width with rollers, rest platforms and lower pavements for inexperienced riders, and an overall rideable surface of approximately 100–250m depending on design. Landscaping, turfing, site reinstatement and a full ROSPA safety report on completion are required. An access path of about 10–15m from the gate by the Royal British Legion to the start is specified (2m wide) with a 1000 gauge geotextile, 150mm type 1 stone and a fine 10mm-to-dust top layer. The Council also requests a separate quote for safety fencing with meshing around the track. Contractors must provide detailed design, groundworks, drainage and finishing works, demonstrate relevant experience with comparable pump track projects and submit a fully costed tender; the estimated project value is £75,000–£85,000 (subject to VAT confirmation) and final award is subject to evaluation and Council approval.
