Description

The project aims to provide a fit for purpose facility by addressing both the Fire Safety Improvements (FSI), and the problems associated with the rainwater goods and any associated structural overhangs. The project mandate for the FSI works also requested a review of sustainability measures which could be integrated to the project. A constructor has been appointed for the design and build of the project. This is a two stage Design and Build Contract let under the PPC2000 (Amended 2008) Form of contract. The original estimated value of the contract was calculated by MOJ, and its Cost Consultants following desktop and non-intrusive surveys and was based on information reasonably known at the time and arrived at via a thorough and appropriate methodology.
