Description

This brief is to carry out a survey of ALL (approx. 2000) listed buildings and structures in the National Park to assess their condition based on a rapid external appraisal. The rapid assessment will include: An external condition survey and record of key structural fabric eg roof, walls The condition of rainwater goods and drainage Survey of windows, doors, joinery Evidence of neglect, vegetation problems, vandalism Vacancy and occupancy information In addition to the condition survey, for listed buildings in the 2016 extension area of the National Park we require the surveyor to assess the extent of the listed building and record this on a map. A short summary end of survey report is required, setting out the main findings of the survey to a format to be agreed with the National Park Authority. Contents should include an executive summary, key findings and trends, (focusing on the building types found to be at risk/vulnerable) as well as lessons learnt and recommendations for future listed building survey work. We anticipate the use of a pre-programmed tablet will make the rapid assessment a quick and simple process and not require the consultants to have access to GIS or other mapping software. The focus of this project therefore is a well organised approach to a high volume of site surveys, where accuracy of data, efficiency of travel and consistency in the survey approach are key considerations. As a separate item, we wish consultants to provide a fee for identifying, mapping and rapidly assessing the condition of any curtilage buildings, structures and features where relevant. It is not possible to give an indication of the number of sites this will apply to - we have approximately 400 entries with no curtilage (mileposts, bridges, monuments) and many town centre entries will not have a curtilage. We expect this task to be easily carried out as part of the overall condition survey (so no additional travel needed) - it should be based on the physical layout and age of the curtilage building (pre 1948), no desk-based research is required or any knowledge of ownership etc. All assessments of curtilage structures will be reviewed by the Authority's Historic Environment Team before being committed to a publicly accessible database/map. Funding for this project will be provided by the Lake District National Park Authority. The Authority will be seeking the most advantageous tender as outlined in Section 8 - Procurement process, information requirements and assessment of tender brief. The Authority estimated a value of £70,000.00 for this piece of work. Estimated value is given in good faith as a guide to assist you in submitting your Tender. This should not be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any goods or services to any particular value and do not form part of the Contract.
