## Description
The Council operates an ornamental water feature within the paved public realm at Mulberry Place, Daventry NN11 4GU. The feature consists of 14 jet pumps set in a triangular formation within the paving. The pumps are fitted with integrated coloured lighting to illuminate the water jets at night and operate on a pre-programmed cycle to create different heights and configurations of flow. The feature is set to operate daily between 08:00 and 22:00 from March to October. The jet pumps are shut down during the winter period, but the water treatment system remains operational on a recirculation basis throughout the winter.
The feature is freely accessible to the public and is routinely accessed by children and dogs, in particular as a leisure feature. Because of the public interaction the feature includes extensive filtration and sanitation plant, including coarse straining, sand filtration and ultraviolet, bromine and acid treatments.
Formal laboratory testing for legionella and biological content for the water feature is undertaken by others but the successful contractor will be required to undertake routine precautionary flushing, monitoring and testing of cold water supplies within the plant room.
The scope of work required is for the successful bidder to undertake all routine service operations as described in Appendices 2, 3, 4 and 5 including weekly/fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and annual inspection and servicing, water quality tests, provision and replacement of consumable materials and the provision and replacement of major service items.
