SPECIFICATION OF WORKS

FOR INSTALLATION OF NEW DOOR ENTRY SYSTEMS

Prepared by: Brighton & Hove City Council The Housing Centre Unit 1 Fairway Trading Estate Eastergate Road Brighton BN2 4QL This specification is the current (Jan 2014) standard in place for new Door Entry System (DES) Installations i.e. when the existing system is deemed beyond repair. Contractors will be required to complete a works/pricing schedule for each site. These list the components required for each site upgrade and act as an asset schedule for each site as well as a detailed specification for cost/quality monitoring purposes. These only need to be completed at the time the works required have been identified, once the contract is in place i.e. you are not required to complete this schedule at the ITT stage. This detailed DES specification should be used in conjunction with the more general electrical specifications in the main ITT document. The works/pricing schedule for each site will be based on the tendered costs in Pricing Schedule PF1 of the main ITT documents. However, PF1 does not detail the individual components of a complete Door Entry System. The works/pricing schedule required for each site will list the individual components required and a cost must be attributed to each component part and labour costs identified in order to provide transparency of costs and prove value for money. The works/pricing schedule must be agreed with the BHCC Contract Manager prior to any works being carried out on site.
