The council seeks submission from the experienced contractors in order to construct footpath within Quota Park. The project plan consists of supplying and installing of pipe culverts, fencing, paving, concreting of footpaths as well as turf signage.
The project will bring footpaths and bikeways within Quota Park into conformance with the local and Federal safety regulations. The plan requires providing the community at complete buildout.
The objectives of the project are:
The associated measures are footpath work safety plan, which ensures for adequate yellow warning lights. A road signage plan is established into the park due to change of footpath. Proper scheduling and budgeting management plan is required.
The footway is required for providing of constant space for walking in the park. The construction of the footpath leaves space designed for pedestrian movement. The construction work is for footways and bikeways for cycling, parking as well as public transport. It provides significant influence on the landscape, builds of environment and adds to attractiveness of the public spaces. The footways provide safer routes to the users within the park such as elderly and disabled people to move from one place to another.
The assumption is that the project suppliers must provide the materials and equipments required on time so that the project plan must be higher quality construction with the raw materials needed durability. The project work must meet with the construction and safety standards established by the Federal agencies.
