## Description
These works are the focus of this PQQ.
Proposed development of the yard area to a varying finished ground level to suit the drainage design and to tie into that of Phase 1, including removal of existing trees and raising of the land using existing material on site while achieving a load bearing capacity of 250kPat/m2.

-Earthworks:
-     Tree clearance and screening
-     Stripping and disposal of existing topsoil material to extension area.
-     Upfilling the extension and yard areas to level with site-won sand.
-     Ground Strengthening:

-	Rerouting of existing drainage ditch in yard area around the new perimeter of the site and passive drainage, like the Phase 1 philosophy, across the site;
At present we do not have a defined requirement or design for street lighting and it is therefore not included within the current procurement scope. It is possible that a limited street-lighting requirement may emerge at a later date; given the likely scale and the close interface with the Landside Civils works, it may be more efficient for any such requirement to be delivered by the Landside Civils contractor, but only where a modification on that basis is permitted under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016.
There may be a requirement for the Contractor to coordinate elements of works with the Clients quayside civils contractor.
The Client provides the bidder with the option to submit a variant tender should they be invited the Stage 3 – Invitation to Tender.
The variant tender reflects the same works above but within the Gorse & Woodland Area in an approximately 250 acres site area. The information about variants shall be clearly defined within the procurement documentation.
