Architectural Services for Refurbishment of Student Residents

University of Limerick

In September 2014 University of Limerick (the ‘Authority’) undertook an OJEC
competition (Ref RFT 88256 — UL0339) for the appointment of a design team for
the phased refurbishment programme for the existing Plassey, Kilmurry, Dromroe
and Thomond Student Village on the University of Limerick Campus
(the ‘Project’). The design team for the project was appointed in February 2015.
The scheme design for Kilmurry Village has been progressed and a ‘pilot project’
comprising the refurbishment of two (2) housing units commenced on site in July
2015 and is due for completion in September 2015. Following completion of
the ‘pilot project’ the final scheme design for Kilmurry Village will be confirmed and
the detailed design and procurement of the remainder of the project will be
progressed to allow for commencement of works on site in Summer 2016. No
work has commenced on Plassey, Dromroe and Thomond Student Villages at this
stage.
As a result of the liquidation of the originally appointed Architect (‘Original
Consultant’) it is now intended to appoint a replacement Architect with Interior
Design expertise and PSDP (‘Replacement Consultant’) for the Project in two (2)
separate Lots. Applicants are advised that in respect of Lot 1, Kilmurry Village
Student Residences, the ‘Replacement Consultant’ will be required to take the
agreed final scheme for the ‘pilot project’, as noted above, through detailed
design, tender and construction. In respect of Lot 2 the ‘Replacement
Consultant’ will be required to provide full design services for Plassey Village,
Dromroe Village and Thomond Village Student Residences. The ‘Replacement
Consultant’ will be required to fully assess design work undertaken on the Project
by the ‘Original Consultant’ and to take full responsibility for this existing design
work where relied upon in the delivery of the project.

Procedure
Justification of the accelerated procedure:
Plassey Campus Centre commenced their programme for the phased refurbishment of four (4) existing Student Villages on the University of Limerick Campus in 2014. Due to the nature of the operation of the Student Villages, where Villages are fully occupied and in use during the University's academic year, refurbishment works can only take place between May and August each year. As a result of the liquidation of the ‘Original Consultant’ the Authority has incurred significant delays to the refurbishment programme. To maintain the programme of works scheduled for Summer 2016 a replacement Architect, including Interior Design and PSDP, is required to be appointed as soon as possible.
