This is to be a highly energy efficient building designed to meet Passivhaus Certification standards and will be required to meet challenging in-use energy requirements. The design team appointed by the Council will be novated to the main contractor in August 2023 for the full Stage 4 process to maintain the integrity of the design intent. An advance works contract comprising the soil remediation, revetment works, roads and utility infrastructure, coastal path and low carbon hub works will be undertaken by separate specialist contractors and are programmed to be completed by May 2024. The Council will be looking to transfer the warranties for the site remediation works to the Tier 1 contractor and it is anticipated that the specialist remediation contractor will be novated across to the main contractor. It is intended to enter into a Pre-Contract Services Agreement (PCSA) with the successful tenderer to develop the stage 4 design and market testing. In respect of the PCSA it is the Council’s intention to utilise the SBCC PCSA/Scot Pre-Construction Services Agreement for use in Scotland (General Contractor) 2019 Edition, possibly subject to some minor schedule of amendments.
