Yate Town Council Peg Hill Skatepark Refurbishment Project

2026-11-03

Yate Town Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to design and build the refurbishment of the existing Peg Hill Skatepark. The anticipated budget for this project is £450,000 excluding VAT; this value is inclusive of a 10% contingency budget (£45,000). Full procurement description is included within the Peg Hill design brief, however, please find below the project priorities and design specification: The Peg Hill Skate Park refurbishment seeks to achieve the following priorities: a. Provide a 25year life cycle (minimum); b. Use of sustainable, hardwearing materials with long life cycles that are resistant to climate change (extreme wet/ heat) and anti-social behaviour; c. Improved health and safety, areas for weather shade, materials that are low heat conducting d. Low impact on the climate and planet, refurbishing/ reusing/ recycling as much as possible; using materials and practices that are sustainable e.g. low carbon footprint, chemical free, supportive of the local economy and local workforce; e. Value for public investment, a design with low maintenance and risk of repair; f. Expansion of inclusive features e.g. disability, neurodiversity, making space for girls; g. A design suitable for varying abilities and disciplines - beginner to advanced level users, for large and small wheels; h. Refurbishment works must commence on site in Spring 2026 and conclude by 30th September 2026. Tenderers are asked to submit proposals for a refurbishment design of Peg Hill Skate Park that: a. Respond to the priorities outlined in the public survey (Appendix 2, question 7.a within design brief and Project Priorities above. b. Takes place within the current footprint of the skatepark, making best use of the space available, and popular features that could be refurbished/ retained (designs should not include any equipment that requires planning permission, or that exceeds planning and/or safety restrictions, such as permitted development. If post contract signing, design revisions are required to meet planning and/or safety requirements, costs incurred will be the responsibility of the supplier, not Yate Town Council (as per the JCT Design & Build contract clause 2.17.1) c. Retains a below ground bowl feature, identified in a public survey as a high priority; d. Incorporates the most popular design features, identified in the phase 2 public survey (questions 6 and 7, appendix 2 within design brief). Suppliers may also wish to take inspiration from the skate parks identified in question 7, appendix 2 within design brief) e. Emphasises creativity and the importance of allowing for varying levels of interaction with the skateable features, to support varying levels of confidence and ability. The site location and area for works is outlined within the design brief document.
