Design and Planning Services for a Replacement or Refurbished Village Hall

Barrington Parish Council (BPC) wishes to replace or refurbish the village hall. The village hall and the land upon which it sits is held in Trust for the village by the Village Hall Trustee (VHT). The building is in poor condition and s106 funds have been allocated for its refurbishment or replacement. It is not a listed building but is a significant feature and located in a prominent position overlooking the Village Green and within the Conservation Area. It is accessed via a permitted accessway across the Village Green under licence from the Green Charity. Following a detailed options study, BPC now wishes to drive forward with plans for the Village Hall and requires a company that can: • Provide the necessary plans and documentation to support a planning application. • Provide the necessary drawings and documentation to support tenders for construction works. • Post-planning to provide building control plans (if required) • Act as project manager for the construction project • Act as the designated CDM Refurbish The principle of retaining an existing building wherever possible to avoid wasting carbon and resources points to refurbishment as the starting point for Stage 2 Concept Design. However, as the scheme is developed through Stage 2, the size of the original Hall, its proportion, construction and location on the site may limit flexibility in the emerging design and this needs to be considered. The original Hall, with refurbished, insulated roof and new rooflights could sit at the heart of a highly insulated new building that could entirely envelop the old Hall, improving its environmental performance and creating welcoming and service space around it as well as extending its length with a secondary smaller hall to the rear. A Structural Report from the Structural Engineer Price & Myers indicates that the existing timber trusses in the Hall can be refurbished with tie rods at a higher level. Rebuild Alternatively, given the constraints of the Village Hall site, a new building is likely to be laid out with the two Halls at the heart of a building surrounded by circulation and service space. However, the freedom to change the proportion of the main Hall and its relationship to other parts of the building such as the smaller hall, may ultimately allow the design to be more flexible. Accommodation Needs The spatial requirements have been assessed following consultation with users. The total area was fixed at 650sqm in order to compare site layouts but including: - Large hall: a flexible multi-purpose space. - Small hall: a flexible multi-purpose space. - Hospitality: a cafe space served by a kitchen and bar is a new space desired for the Village Hall, locating it at the front of the site enables it to double as a foyer zone for the arrival of large groups to attend performances. It also creates an active and welcoming front for the building, addressing the village green. The cafe area could function as the bar for events. - Meeting Room: this is a new space for smaller meetings doubling as a room for curation or access to the Barrington History Society archive. The store for the archive should be accessible from the room or nearby. Some of the material could be on permanent display in the building. - Community kitchen: if the Cafe is run commercially or has a double function as a bar with a license, it may be necessary to also have a small community kitchen that can be used by community groups including children, such as scouts. Duxford community centre is a precedent for this. - SCDC Guidance on the use of s106 public funds is clear that no space should be for the exclusive use of any single group - thus for example a "sports and social club with bar" as a separate membership and entity would not be allowed. - Early Years: however, Barrington does need pre-school `provision for children up to 5, particularly since the village is expanding with significant numbers of family housing. The size of the Early Years facility was fixed at 120sqm to reflect the level of funding contribution from SCDC, this is sufficient for a simple one room Early Years facility which should be an independent area of the building, with a clear security line between public and pre-school use and a direct entrance from the outside with drop off and pick up arrangements for buggies. This should enable delivery of the DfE's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework and would be inspected by Ofsted. The classroom would ideally connect directly to its own outside play space and of course co-location with the village hall would bring potential customers to a Cafe. - Access and Parking requirements will need to be confirmed, and a transport assessment undertaken to provide a baseline count of existing cars at different times of the day and week, to include. - Parking and EV Charging - Disabled parking - Bicycle parking - Refuse and recycling storage Budget Constraints The finite amount of funds available means that the work on the village hall needs to be completed within very strict budgetary constraints. For the provision of architectural, surveying, planning, design and project management services a maximum budget of £160,000 is available. Contract Period The Services tender request includes whole life project management. The intended contract start and end dates - from the design to handover and sign off of the whole project - are Start date 1.9.25 End date 31.8.27.

Refurbishment of St Christopher's Hall Dobbs Weir Road Hoddesdon EN11 0AZ

INVITATION TO TENDER Under the terms of the Audit Regulations and the Councils Standing Orders, the Council is required to seek 3 quotations. Tenders Are invited from suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver the following works. Full details and plans are available on the Contracts Finder website Project Background St Christophers Hall was built by the villagers of Dobbs Weir in 1939. The nearest parish hall was in Roydon, which was a long walk for the Dobbs Weir Community, so they built the hall to allow fellowship and act as a meeting point for villagers. The villagers passed it over to the Diocese of Chelmsford for safekeeping and to look after which is how it remained for some 70 years. Around 15 years ago the Church decided that they wished to sell the land for development. The people of Dobbs Weir fought strongly against this and Roydon Parish stepped in to purchase the hall and the land for £50k using public funds. Unfortunately, since 2013, there has been no maintenance or development to the Hall and as a result the Hall is now in dire need of essential work to maintain its usage to meet safety requirements. The hall was built on a timber frame with a large main area, toilets, a small stage, and a kitchen area. It has outside space and parking facilities. The building hasn't altered in some 80 years and the general layout is still satisfactory, but the building is now in desperate need of refurbishment, to prevent it falling into disrepair and to bring it up to modern day safety standards. Project There are a number of elements to the renovation and once tenders are available, the Parish Council will decide if all or part of the project will go ahead. The elements are as follows: • Remove walls, roof and outer body of hall to strip back to wooden frame. Remove the low grade asbestos. Rebuild timber walls, renew tile roof, guttering, soffits, replace all windows and external doors with double glazed units. Insulate the whole building and partition the interior to form: kitchen, male & female toilets, disabled toilet with baby changing cubicle. Clad bottom half of exterior of building with wood effect low maintenance cladding. Remove current floor, insulate and renew subfloor. Renew electrics, renew plumbing and install electric heating and exterior lights. • Fit out interior, to include new kitchen, male, female and disabled toilets with hand basins, wc's, tiling, hand dryers, lay flooring in all rooms, install new lighting, door furniture, paint Accompanying documents Specification and drawings Building Regs approval Asbestos report Project costs The Parish Council will need detailed quotes to meet the objectives of Part 1 and Part 2 separately. The construction approach will need to be optimized to meet the project objectives, and the Council will be open to the possibility for some finishing items to be carried out by the community such as painting/kitchen fitting etc. The Parish Council does not have unlimited funds for this project, so it is important that quotes include a contingency. The Council have been advised that the full refurbishment cost will be in the region of 120k. Tender Submission Requirements The following should be submitted as part of this tender submission: • Full costing proposal - setting out quotes for each of the project elements, contingency and total cost (scoring percentage 50%) • Reasonable commuting distance to Dobbs Weir (scoring percentage 25%) • Document setting out experience in working on similar projects (scoring percentage 25%) to include: • Company structure, any subcontractors or other personnel who would work on the project • Company information, time in business etc • Evidence of delivering work on time and to budget • Reviews/testimonials from previous commercial clients • Location and photos of previous similar work carried out • Indication of timescale for each project element, indicating the total timescale for the whole project Important Information Works are ideally to commence in May 2025 and take no longer than 3 months. This is negotiable Tender Process All plans and documents can be viewed on Contracts Finder - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) The site may be viewed via prior arrangement with the Parish Clerk Any points for clarification can be submitted to the Parish Clerk No contact is to be made with any Councillor during the tender period Tenders should be submitted no later than 20th May 2025 in a sealed envelope stating "Confidential Tender - St Christophers Hall" on the front to the address below or alternately submitted via the Contracts Finder website. Tenders should include a copy of your Public Liability Insurance, PPE Policy and evidence of any related accreditations.
