Additional information: Tender Clarification Nr 8

An issue has been identified with the Appendix H pricing schedule affecting the summary sheet of the collection page, so if the old version is filled in, the values still carry over to the page, but the last phase is not included in the totals. To deal with this an updated schedule has been included as an additional document above

Q1 The Acoustics scope does not include the CH2 package of works which includes the ventilation works. It would seem that acoustics should be part of the review and design of this work. Can you confirm that the CH2 should be included in our service? A1 CH2 is not currently part of the Acoustic workstream. Whilst ventilation works are envisaged it is only currently the remote plant that is likely to be upgraded and therefore not envisaged to alter the current acoustic characteristics so CH2 is not included.

Q2 The front page of the acoustic document indicates that the acoustic services are expected on the following design packages CH1, CH3, BP1 and AC1. That being said, the Appendix B2 scope of services seems to include the acoustic design of air handling system that is part of the CH2 package. Could you please let me know if this item is included or not in the scope? A2 Appendix B2 refers to Concept Design on strategy for the air handling system and it is not envisaged that the system is needing redesign under CH2 it is establishing the concept design and its potential to impact on the acoustic review / works under CH1
