Multiple gate specialists were invited to attend site in November 2021 to review the existing system to facilitate an understanding of the scope of work required for repairs. Only two contractors attended site, one submitted a proprietary proposal to address the failing gate in March 2022. The existing gate failed in April 2022. The only contractor to submit a proposal was contracted to undertake a full intrusive survey of the site/system prior to implementing their proposal.
Due to operational requirements for the building, the contractor was requested to put in place an interim measure to get the gate back into operation ahead of further intrusive investigatory work prior to designing a replacement system. The investigatory work established that it is not suitable to retain the existing top hung gate system due to access and safety issues. The contractor has designed an alternative solution which meets the site and security requirements of the building’s occupants. This contract is to remove the existing system and replace it with a proprietary floor rolling gate system.
