— Complementary mixed-use development.
GDA proposes to engage in a competitive process for the establishment of a single-party framework agreement with a multi-disciplinary design team for architectural and engineering design and construction supervisory services in respect of the DIT Research Hub.
The Research Hub will consist of a number of new buildings, dedicated to doctorate and post doctorate level research.
The multi-disciplinary design team will contain the following disciplines:
— architectural (incl. design team lead and landscaping services),
— project management,
— civil & structural engineering,
— quantity surveying and whole lifecycle costs management,
— environmental mechanical & electrical engineering,
— fire safety design, and,
— project supervisor for the design process.
Only candidates capable of delivering all of the services listed above (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium) will be considered. Therefore, Responses relating to one or several of these disciplines only are not acceptable and will be rejected.
