1) Project Outline Name of scheme

Former Briar Lodge site

Nature of works

To construct dwellings for the Council

Location Former Briar Lodge Snowberry Close Briar Hill Stacey Bushes

Employer Milton Keynes Council The Council wishes to appoint a Registered Provider (RP) to design, develop, construct and subsequently provide to the Council dwellings with associated services, drainage and external works. The land is owned by the Council. The RP will be constructing the dwellings on a turn key basis (i.e. the RP will ensure that the properties are fully designed and built as if they were its own dwellings but subsequently handing them over to the Council once they have been constructed). The RP will therefore need to provide in its tender a fixed price that takes into account all design, construction, planning, full project management, Construction Design and Management Regulations procedures (CDM including CDM Co-ordinator), employers agent/site supervision, building control liaison and all or any other related services in respect of the design and construction of these dwellings. The dwellings will be bungalows built to full ‘wheelchair standard’ for social rent that would be suitable for older people and/or people with disabilities. We believe that this type of housing can play a significant part in preserving and promoting independence. The scheme will be for social rented housing. The RP Council’s preferred mix is for mainly two bedroom bungalows. Properties must be built to following minimum space standards:

• 1 Bedroom 2 person Bungalows @ 55 – 60m2 • 2 Bedroom 3 person Bungalows @ 70 – 75m2

A checklist of the Council’s Quality Standards is set out overleaf. As well as complying with this document the works must comply with:

• The Council’s Development Agreement; • The terms of any planning permission granted by the Council and • The terms of any Building Regulations Approval

2) The Need for Wheelchair Housing in Milton Keynes The Milton Keynes Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) Update 2009 provided a profile of households with supported housing and health needs. The profile found that there were 2,500 households who:

• Had at least one member of their household with a health problem, and • That their health problems affected their housing requirements; and • Their homes were not currently adequately adjusted to meet their health problems.

This equated to 2.7% of households in Milton Keynes. The problems that these households identified were with bathing and showering, climbing stairs and general mobility. All of these were considered to be natural consequences of the health problems being linked to mobility and old age.1 From the 2,500 households, the majority (71%) felt that their current home could be adapted to meet their needs and that the majority of these households required bathroom adaptations, stair lifts and handrails to be fitted. Of the remainder, 250 households wanted to move. Arguably this could indicate the level of need for housing specially designed to meet the health needs of the borough. A report by Habinteg Housing Association and London South Bank University in 20102 sets out a methodology for calculating the unmet housing need of wheelchair user households at a local authority level. The methodology involves the following approach: A. Taking the regional figure for the percentage of all households that are wheelchair user

households (for the South East region this was 2%); B. Multiply this by the number of households in the local authority (as at 1st April 2011 this

was 101,100); C. Multiply this by the regional figure for the percentage of wheelchair user households

with unmet housing need (5%). So for Milton Keynes the figure would be 101 wheelchair user households with unmet housing need. As at May 2012 the Council had 34 households in “Band 1” of its Housing Options scheme who urgently needed wheelchair standard housing.

3) The Site Site Description and location The site lies in the north of Stacey Bushes in Milton Keynes. Stacey Bushes is bounded to the north by the H2 Millers Way, to the west by the V5 Great Monks Street, to the south by the A422 H3 Monks Way and to the east by the West Coat Main Line railway track. The H and V roads are dual carriage way grid roads that dissect Milton Keynes and provide quick and efficient vehicular access through the City. A plan showing the location of the land off Briar Hill, Stacey Bushes is set out at the end of this document. Stacey Bushes is one of the few areas that is split relatively equally between residential property to the north of the district and light industrial and warehousing to the south. Construction of the main residential areas began in 1974 with the first housing development being a rental scheme of mainly terraced, semi detached and detached homes. The scheme was awarded an international prize for its landscaping and design layout. The social housing and single persons housing, owned and managed by Places for People, lies to the north east of Stacey Bushes and is adjacent to the local shop and meeting place. There is no other retail offering in Stacey Bushes other than the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and a petrol station located off the H3 Monks Way grid road to the very south. The freehold of the shop is vested in Milton Keynes Parks Trust and let to Cost Cutter on a 20 year lease due to expire 06.07.2020. The freehold of the meeting place is vested in Milton Keynes Council. The meeting place is used by a number of local groups. The site is a brown field site which totals 1.4 acres (developable site 1.3 acres). It is situated off Briar Hill within Stacey Bushes, Milton Keynes. The site is situated between the social housing in Snowberry Close owned by Places for People, which borders the land on two sides (north and west) and the meeting place and Cost Cutter supermarket mentioned above (south west and south respectively). The site is edged to the east by Briar Hill, the main road running through the site leading into the industrial area to the south of Stacey Bushes. The factory/industrial units at Stacey Bushes were built around 1978. This was later joined by the auto centre which included the drive through KFC and a petrol station, as mentioned above. Briar Hill has bus stops adjacent to and directly opposite the site which assists non car users to utilise the facilities bordering the site and ultimately the end user of this site following redevelopment. Access into the site will come off Briar Hill, a single carriage way that joins directly to the H2 Millers Way north of the site. In the districts immediately surrounding Stacey Bushes are doctors’ surgeries and dental practices. The site is surrounded on two sides by social housing and the residential development immediately across from Briar Hill mainly consists of small 2 bedroom bungalows. Further out from the site are two storey semi-detached and terraced houses with 2-3 bedrooms. The site was formerly the location of the Briar Lodge Sheltered Housing Scheme until it was decommissioned in 2007 due to a low demand for sheltered accommodation and it was subsequently demolished in 2010. Attention is drawn to the fact that the scheme also had some problems with subsidence and it is understood that the adjacent landowner (Places for People) also had problems with subsidence.

8

Archaeology and conservation Since the site has previously been used for sheltered housing there are no concerns with regard to archaeology and conservation. Ecology Since the site has previously been used for sheltered housing there are no concerns with regard to ecology. There are no trees or bushes that would provide a suitable habitat to wildlife that would lead to development restrictions and/or any delays. However the RP would need to carry out an ecological survey before applying for planning permission. Topography The site is relatively flat, however, there is a slight incline running from south to north. The extent of the slope upwards towards Snowberry and the H2 Millers Way would not lead to any substantial increase in build costs as a result of ground levelling. Arrangements for visiting the site The RP shall be deemed to have visited the site prior to submitting its tender and to have acquainted itself with means of access, the nature of the work to be executed, the nature of the site and all other circumstances affecting the execution of the works such as supply of and conditions affecting local labour, carriage, haulage, unloading, scaffolding and the like. No claim will be allowed on account of any omission or error arising from the lack of knowledge of such matters. Site Investigation/ Contamination The site is underlain by Kellaways Formation (which is below the Oxford Clay so no Oxford Clay on the site) thus potential for shrinking/swelling clay is low. There are no Drift/Superficial deposits shown on the site on British Geological Survey Maps. There will be some made ground from the previous construction which will have to be investigated but it is unlikely that there is any significant contamination. The site is in an area where a Geological Radon Assessment will be required for new build (Radon Guidance for new buildings is in BRE Report BR211. BGS Radon site http://www.bgs.ac.uk/radon/home.html), to determine if full or basic protection measures are required. There is no other environmentally significant issue in the Council’s databases. The site would appear to be very simple geologically and in terms of any pollution/contamination issue. The RP’s attention is drawn to the fact that the previous property on the site suffered from problems with subsidence and the RP should make all/further investigations as necessary to ensure a suitable knowledge of the existing site conditions sufficient to complete the works. Existing mains/services The RP must ascertain for itself the location and availability of main services, sewers etc and shall allow for charges and costs in connection.

9

The RP shall be responsible for determining the runs of existing services and drainage and shall be held liable for any damage they may sustain as a result of the Works. The RP shall allow for all necessary diversions of existing services. 4) Form of Contract The Council’s Development Agreement will comprise the basis for the Form of Contract which shall be negotiated between the Council and the successful RP. 5) Design & Construction The RP shall design and construct all dwellings in compliance with the guidance regulations requirements and specifications set down in:

a) The’ Wheelchair Housing Design Guide’, second edition (2006), by Stephen Thorpe and Habinteg Housing Association available at http://www.habinteg.org.uk or such revised guide which is the most up to date version. The RP should note that if items included in this Tender Specification should not be suitable when compared to the Guide then alternative components should be identified within the Tender ;

b) The standards set out in ‘Places, Homes, People; English Partnerships’ Quality

Standards – Designing Quality Places (November 2007). The RP will need to provide a certificate to the Council at Practical Completion to show that the standards have been met;

c) The dwellings shall be constructed to at least Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable

Homes (certificates must be submitted to the Council on completion);

d) The British Standards Institute: Wherever an appropriate British Standard Specification of British Standard Code of Practice issued by the British Standards Institution exists materials and workmanship shall conform with the latest current appropriate Standard;

e) The Building Regulations

f) The Building Research Establishment Guides

g) The RP shall provide the Council with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for

all dwellings at Practical Completion. Notwithstanding any information provided in this Specification or any drawings which accompany the tender documents, the RP is to accept full responsibility for the design and construction of the whole of the works. Any information provided by the Council is to be regarded as merely an indication of the minimum standards acceptable. Where no such standard exists, materials shall be of the best quality obtainable. Where standards of workmanship cannot be determined by reference to the documents referred to above or approving authorities i.e. BRE Digest, Good Practice Guide etc. then the RP will ensure that all workmanship shall be of a standard appropriate to the Works in respect of its intended use and be carried out in a proper and workmanlike manner.

10

Any proposals which do not comply with these standards will not be allowable unless agreed beforehand in writing with the Council.

The RP’s design details, specification/Employers Requirements and all drawings shall be submitted to the Council prior to commencement of work. The RP’s design details shall include the following information:- • Setting out and finished levels • Drainage and statutory services layout • Soft and Hard Landscaping Areas • External works including walls, fences and gates • Service entry layout with meter positions • Electrical layout and schedule of fittings • Details of pipe ducts and builders work in connection with services The RP will be required to provide the following drawings for the use of the Council: • 2 full sets of working drawings for the construction of the Works • 2 full sets of "As Built" drawings for the whole of the Works once completed. Building Information Modelling (BIM) At Practical Completion the RP will give the Council a completely dimensioned set of “as built” drawings. These are to show each dwelling type, including construction details, service layouts and external works. In line with the Government’s Construction Strategy 2011 the RP shall also give the Council a fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) at Level Two format (such as Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium or Ultimate) and the Employers Requirements in Microsoft Word for the Council’s future use. All copyrights in respect of the design details, specification/Employers Requirements and all drawings shall be given to the Council and the RP will grant the Council permission to use the Employers Requirements in perpetuity. Timber Frame dwellings If the building is to be of timber frame construction, the contractor shall also ensure compliance with TRADA recommendations and include in this tender for a “frameCHECK” service. This shall be a design detail evaluation, plus site visits and reports. The timing and number of site visits are to be agreed with TRADA and all reports copied to the Council by “frameCHECK” at the time of delivery. Any system used must be manufactured by a member of the UK Timber Frame Association. The RP will also notify Bucks Fire and Rescue Service using the "SiteSafe" on-line notification process. Sustainability

7) Planning Application The RP will be responsible for obtaining detailed planning approval for the scheme. The Council’s Planners have previously suggested the following uses be considered for the site: sheltered accommodation, social housing, a non-secure hospital, medical surgery, doctor’s surgery, dental surgery or a combination of those mentioned above. Any retail uses would not be acceptable. The Local Plan 2005-2011 has the site designated for housing or a combination of housing and community uses. Policies H7, C1, PO1, PO2 and PO4 apply. The current planning use is C2 for sheltered accommodation. The planning guidance for housing states that within zone 3, where Stacey Bushes resides, construction should be limited to between 35-40 dwellings per hectare. The site which has a developable area of some 1.3 acres suggests that the site would accommodate 22 homes. . The RP shall pay all fees and charges and prepare all necessary drawings and other documents as may be required in order to obtain the approval and to discharge any conditions contained in the consent. The RP shall strictly adhere to and comply with the standard and additional conditions of the consent. The Council requires as a condition prior to any payment under the contract, documented evidence that all pre commencement or pre start conditions have been discharged. Further more the Council requires as a condition prior to Practical Completion documented evidence that all of the planning conditions have been discharged. 8) Building Regulations The RP is to design the works to comply with the Building Regulations as detailed in the Building Act 1984 and The Building Regulations 2010 (as amended). The RP is to pay all fees and charges and prepare all necessary drawings and other documents as may be required in order to obtain approval and satisfy any of the conditions. The RP shall strictly adhere to and comply with the any conditions of the approval. The RP will use the Council’s Building Control Inspection services. Please contact Neil Allen in the Building Control and Sustainability team for further information – 01908 - 252365 The Council will require as a condition precedent to Practical Completion a Building Regulations Completion Certificate. 9) Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Warranty The RP is to arrange and pay for an LABC new home 12 year warranty for social housing.

10) The Environment Agency The RP will be responsible for applying for and obtaining all necessary approvals required by the Environment Agency and shall allow for all costs, fees and charges. 11) Adoptable Works The RP will be responsible for applying for and obtaining all necessary approvals required in order for all roads, footpaths, pavements, play areas, car parking areas and drainage outside of the cartilage of the dwellings to be adopted. In addition the RP shall pay all associated costs, fees and charges. 12) Statutory Undertakers/Services The RP will be responsible for applying for and obtaining all necessary approvals required and shall allow for all costs, fees and charges. 13) Apprenticeships/Local Employment The RP must participate in the Milton Keynes Council Neighbourhood Project Employment to provide apprenticeships, work placements and local employment opportunities. 14) Construction Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) The RP’s contractors must be registered and fully compliant with CHAS certification. A copy of the certificate shall be provided upon request. 15) Considerate Constructors Scheme The Council will require the RP’s contractor to register the site, pay the appropriate fee before starting work and comply with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. 16) Community Alarm System The RP will be required to connect all properties to the Council’s Community Alarm Service using a dispersed “Tunstall Telecom Lifeline Connect+” compatible with PNC6 call handling equipment so that it can be monitored by the Council’s control centre. Contact Sandra Rankin on sandra.rankin@Milton-keynes.gov.uk 17) Fees and charges payable The RP shall pay all fees and charges payable to the local authority and all other statutory undertakers including rates on all temporary buildings.

15

18) Payment by the Council to the RP Given that the Council wishes for the scheme to be constructed on a turn-key basis the RP will be paid at the Practical Completion stage less a retention of 1.5%. The Council will release the rest of the retention at completion of making good (of defects).

16

19) Tender Evaluation The Tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) in line with the criteria set out in the MEAT document. The Council will not therefore necessarily accept the lowest or any tender. In summary the tender will be evaluated on the basis of:

1) Price: 60% 2) Design and Layout: 40% 20) Submission of Tender The Tender should be submitted to the Council with no charge by way of the Council’s E-Tendering (In-Tend) system by 12 noon on 14th September 2012. Details can be obtained from the link below: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/miltonkeynescouncil/

RPs will also be required to submit the following documents: (a) A copy of the RPs Employers Requirements that it would issue to contractors (b) Details of the Design of the buildings (preferably at 1:500) showing:

(i) Building layout, orientation and elevations including communal facilities (ii) Plans of each unit of accommodation (iii) External specification and facilities showing hard/soft landscaping

treatments, garden layout and segregation of car-parking (c) Details of any similar schemes that the RSL has developed elsewhere, together with

full details of a local authority contact who will act as a reference

17

21) Provisional Time-table The provisional timetable is as follows: Date Stage August 2012 Invitation to tender issued to RPs September 2012 Deadline for return of tenders October 2012 Evaluation of tenders November 2012 Cabinet Procurement Committee approval to select RP November 2012-January 2013

RP firms up design and carries out pre-planning consultation/engagement

January 2013 RP makes Planning application March 2013 Planning application granted & Development Agreement finalised March/April 2013 Work starts on site December 2013 Scheme completed

When submitting its tender the RP will need to:

a) Undertake to use its best endeavours to meet this provisional timetable; b) Demonstrate how it will achieve these key dates

This Timetable is provisional and the Council reserves the right to deviate from the Timetable should it feel that this is necessary (e.g. if planning permission is delayed or not granted). The Council will however consult with the RP should this situation arise and re-order the timetable as necessary
