Employer’s Requirements

EMPLOYERS REQUIREMENTS

1. The purpose of this section is to identify the scope of works, design standards and constraints which will apply to the works required in the design and construction of the reinforced earth slope and engineered earthworks to infill the eastern section of the void at Midland Quarry. Further information and requirements are given in Section E Description of Works.

2. The Employer requires the construction of a reinforced earth wall and the infilling of the eastern part of the void at Midland Quarry as a precursor to subsequent residential, leisure and retail development by others. The Contractor will be required to maximise the area available for building development. The Contractor shall provide supporting information to demonstrate the developable area, and areas associated with the quarry high wall which are sterilised for development. The derivation of such areas shall be supported by analysis of the predicted settlement of the infill materials.

3. The Contractor shall commission his own design consultants to develop the scheme and shall be entirely responsible for the design and construction of the Works. The scheme designs included within the Tender Documentation are indicative only and the Contractor is free to develop his own detailed design as he sees fit within the limits indicated.

4. Throughout the construction period the Contractor’s designs, specification and construction of the Works will be reviewed by the Employer's Representative as appropriate. Specific items of work which require to be referred to the Employer's Representative are noted in this document. The Employer's Representative will provide input to any aspect of the design, construction and maintenance process as he deems necessary in the form of design briefs and comment on design.

5. Whilst the Employer’s Requirements includes copies of two site investigation reports it is the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the existing ground conditions, including the carrying out of any further site investigation.

6. It is the Contractor's responsibility to establish the actual existing site levels shown on the drawings by either checking the information within this document or by carrying out his own level survey.

7. The Contractor will be required to enter into Collateral Warranties with subsequent Developers/Leasees/Funders of the development scheme. The General Form of the Collateral Warranty is included as Appendix 2.

Section E

Description of Works

1. Site Description and Background

1.1 The Midland Quarry site is located approximately 1.5 km to the north west of the town of Nuneaton, off Tuttle Hill (B4114) as shown on Drawing WM02457/101.

1.2 The site is a hardrock quarry that has been dormant for some time. Since March 2002 some preparatory works, including site clearance and infilling works to the eastern end of the void, have taken place. Drawing WM02457/102 indicates levels prior to any works being undertaken, whilst Drawing WM02457/103 indicates levels post works carried out in 2002. Digital versions of both surveys are available on request. It is also proposed that others will extract a further 5 million tonnes of rock from the southern wall of the existing quarry upon completion of this Contract.

1.3 Century Park Limited propose to redevelop the whole of the Midland Quarry site which involves a number of inter-linked projects with varying timescales. An indication of the development proposals and evolution of the site is outlined below.

Water Body in Main Void (ENV 2)

1.4 It is intended that the water body present in the main quarry void will be retained and enhanced as an environmental and recreational resource. The water body will provide a central lake with the potential to include facilities such as a marina with boat storage and servicing.

1.5 The proposals involve the “natural” recovery of the water level from its existing level, which would provide a more attractive feature although this will be subject to further investigations. If necessary the water level will be controlled by pumping into the Coventry Canal under an existing discharge licence, previously held by British Coal. However a comprehensive water management strategy will be implemented to ensure a sustainable final water level is achieved (see Appendix 7).

1.6 At present it has not been established to what level the water will recover. For the purposes of the design it should be assumed that the water level may recover to 85 mAOD. The Contractor should allow for any pumping from the main water body to maintain the level below his requirement for construction activities. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain any necessary Discharge Consents.

1.7 Part of the quarry void is currently designated as a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS) by Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group due to the considerable educational value of the site. Precise details on the protection of the unconformity between the Hartshill Sandstone formation and overlying Bromsgrove Sandstone Formation have not been agreed. However, the Contractor should allow within his design for the exposure of a section of the unconformity in the north-eastern face of the quarry, to be retained.

Development South of the Main Void (DEV 5)

1.8 The proposal for DEV 5, to the south of the main void, is for a mixed use development incorporating development falling under Use Class B1.

1.9 Approximately 3ha of this area is presently covered by quarry overburden that forms a mound containing approximately 290,000m³ of material. The overburden will be removed from this area to achieve formation levels and infilled in to the shallow void to attain the development platform required for DEV 11.

1.10 Land either side of Bar Pool Brook in the south of the site will be retained and enhanced to maintain the existing wildlife corridor between Holly Stitches and the Coventry Canal. The Holly Stitches Brook which flows along the southern edge of the overburden mound is to be protected under this contract. The Contractor should included within his design for suitable temporary fencing offset 1.0m from the northern bank of the Brook.

Proposed Access Option INF 3

1.11 DEV 5 is to be accessed in the long term from Tuttle Hill following the creation of a new link road INF 3, to the west of the main void. This area does not form part of this Contract.

Development East of the Main Void (DEV 11)

1.12 It is proposed that the shallow void to the east of the main void will be infilled to create approximately 2 hectares of high quality waterside residential development within DEV11. The final number and mix of dwelling types will be determined at the detailed planning stage.

1.13 The site will be infilled with approximately 330,000m³of material from within the site boundary including the overburden mound from DEV 5. Should the circumstance arise that insufficient material is available to fill the shallow void, there may be a necessity to import appropriate quantities of inert material to achieve acceptable development levels. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to establish the actual quantities required either by checking the information within this document or by carrying out his own survey, investigations and calculations.

1.14 A combination of B1/leisure development is proposed for 2.02 hectares in the northern section of DEV 11 along the B4114 Tuttle Hill. The Contract includes the preparation of some of this land by reducing levels to form a suitable platform, as shown on Drawing WM02457/104

1.15 The area to the north east of the site includes a mixture of existing development including industrial units and a public house. These buildings will remain in use during the Contract and it is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure they are adequately protected from noise, vibration, dust and other nuisance.

Proposed Access Option INF 3.1

1.16 DEV 11 will be accessed via the INF 3.1 link from Tuttle Hill. This road will service both the northern and eastern sections of the site. The construction of this road does not form part of this Contract but the infilling works are to be carried out in such a manner that INF 3.1 can subsequently be constructed to an adoptable standard.

Geology

1.17 The geology of the site is recorded on the 1:10,000 scale geological maps, Sheet SP 39 SE and SP 39 SW published by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in 1992.

Superficial Deposits

1.18 The published geological mapping indicates the presence of made ground materials to the south and south west of the site. These materials form an overburden / spoil mound resulting from former quarrying activities.

1.19 Naturally occurring superficial deposits (alluvium) described as grey to brown silty clay with local lenses of sand and gravel are indicated within, and adjacent to the southern and south eastern boundary of the site. These materials are considered to be associated with the Holly Stitches and Bar Pool Brooks.

Solid Geology

1.20 The geological mapping indicates the site to be underlain predominantly by strata of the Hartshill Sandstone Formation of Cambrian age. This Formation is summarised below:

· Woodlands Member, massive arkosic sandstone with subordinate shale;

· Home Farm Member, conglomeratic, micritic limestone;

· Jees Member, buff to dark red micaceous sandstone with shale;

· Tuttle Hill Member, grey to red brown arkosic sandstone with mudstone and sparse conglomerate;

· Park Hill Member, massive grey arkosic sandstone.

1.21 A large lamprophyre sill (igneous) is indicated to be intruded into the Tuttle Hill Member, dipping steeply to the south west at between 40^o and 60^o. The sill, exposed in the north and north eastern face of the quarry void, is reported to be the largest exposure of its kind in Warwickshire.

1.22 The north east and a portion of the eastern part of the site is underlain by strata of the Bromsgrove Sandstone Formation. This formation of the Triassic period lies unconformably above the Hartshill Sandstone Formation and is described as brown to pale grey sandstone with interbedded red-brown siltstone and mudstone and localised areas of coarse breccia. The Bromsgrove Sandstone is indicated to dip at approximately 22^o to the north east.

1.23 The alluvial deposits located to the south west of the site are indicated to be underlain by strata of the Purley Shale Formation, this is a member of the Stockingford Shale Group of the Cambrian Period. The Purley Shale Formation is described as purple and red to grey blocky mudstones and minor siltstone.

1.24 Midland Quarry has been designated a Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Site (RIGS) by the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group. This designation relates to the exposure of the lamprophyre sill and the unconformity between the Triassic Sandstones and the Cambrian strata. The Contractor shall ensure that a section of the exposure of the unconformity is preserved.

2 Scope of Works

2.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for the design and construction of the following:

· Reinforced Earth Slope;

· Engineered Infill to required levels;

· Excavation of existing quarry overburden mound.

3 Reinforced Earth Slope

3.1 The Contractor shall design and construct a reinforced earth slope in the approximate location shown on Drawing WM02457/104. The Contractor shall design the slope such that the crest of the slope is not further east than the line indicated on Drawing WM02457/103 and not higher than the proposed levels indicated. The slope shall have a 45 degree face.

3.2 The reinforced earth slope shall be designed to accommodate the following:

· A Industrial Distributor Road (7.3m carriageway and 2.0m footpaths) constructed to adoptable standards at a minimum 2.0m from the crest of the slope;

· The potential to include an access road constructed on a 10m wide berm running across the slope from 94.4m down to 70.0m for access to the water body in the main void – the location and gradient of such a road have not been identified and it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to establish the requirement for such a road in consultation with the Employer;

· The construction of, up to, 3 storey buildings, constructed on raft foundations with loadings of between 75 to 120 kn/m², at a minimum 5.0m from the crest of the slope;

· No geotextile within the top 3.0m of the slope to accommodate the construction of roads, foundation, services etc;

· The variable topography of the base and sides of the existing void in the area of the proposed slope – the Contractor must include within his design for all necessary excavation of rock and loose materials to permit the construction of the slope, and for any necessary anchoring of the geotextile to the rock faces at the sides of the slope;

· Inundation of the fill materials within the reinforced slope, and to the rear, to a level of at least 85 mAOD;

· The rapid draw down of the main water body (after completion of the construction works) from 85 mAOD to below the base of the slope;

3.3 The slope shall be finished with a suitable protective face beneath, and just above the water level, and a suitable medium above to allow vegetation of the slope. All finishes shall be in keeping with the remaining quarry walls.

3.4 A drainage system shall collect surface water run-off from the completed surface to prevent erosion of the surface and silting of the adjacent water bodies and discharge it at the point authorised by the Environment Agency via settling and interceptor tanks.

3.5 A 1.5m high post and rail fence (or similar) shall be erected along the top of the completed slope.

3.6 The level of the top of the slope shall be as shown on Drawing WM02457/104.

3.7 The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the following:

· The suitability (both geotechnical and geochemical) of the materials within the overburden mound for use within the reinforced earth slope;

· The quantity of rock required to be trimmed from the base and sides of the void to allow construction of the slope;

· The precise location of the slope to provide the required developable area (or more) whilst maintaining a safe stand off from the edge of the bench to the main void to allow construction of the wall and ensure its long term stability;

· The requirement for any drainage layers within the slope;

· The topography of the slope to allow the exposure of a section of the unconformity cited in the RIGS designation.

4 Engineering Infill

4.1 The Contractor shall design and construct the engineered infill at the location indicated on Drawing WM02457/104.

4.2 The specification shall be the ‘Specification for Highway Works’ 1998 (incorporating revisions dated June 1998 and May 2001) published by the HMSO as Volume 1 of the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works (referred to hereafter as the General Specification) subject to the amendments in Section F. For the purposes of this contract, references in the Specification for Highway Works to numbered Appendices shall refer to the Particular Specification.

4.3 The works shall be undertaken with the appropriate plant and labour necessary to comply with the requirements of the Specification.

4.4 Suitable reference points for the control of levels shall be erected by the Contractor prior to the commencement and maintained until the completion of the Works. Finished fill levels will be confirmed by Century Park Ltd.

4.5 Adequate precautions shall be taken against damage to the storm sewer which flows through the southern section of the site. Additionally both Bar Pool and Holly Stitches Brooks are to be protected.

4.6 The Works shall include the excavation and stockpiling when required of all excavated fill materials.

4.7 It is estimated that the total amount of compacted fill required for the re-engineering of all phases of the works is in the order of 330,000m³. Double handling of materials into stockpiles is likely to be required.

4.8 During the placement and compaction of fill materials at the commencement of the site works, field tests shall be carried out to assess the standard of compaction that can be achieved with the various site won and imported fill materials. The standard of compaction achievable on site shall be assessed by field observations on field trial pads.

4.9 All materials encountered during the excavation works shall, where acceptable, be used for fill and, where unacceptable, be stockpiled separately. Any topsoil encountered during the excavation works shall be stockpiled separately for re-use across the site under a separate contract. Unacceptable materials, such as oversize blocks and organics (wood etc) are defined in the Specification.

4.10 All areas of prepared base of excavation shall be inspected, photographed and approved prior to the commencement of filling operations.

4.11 After completion of the reduced level dig and prior to the placement of any fill the base of the excavation shall be compacted by the number of passes of the compaction plant as appropriate to the class of material being compacted. The prepared formation shall be inspected and any soft spots removed as deemed necessary.

4.12 All materials placed will be compacted to an end product specification to achieve 95% of the maximum dry density. Material for compaction shall be spread in uniform layers and the thickness of the compacted layer and the number of passes of the compacting equipment shall be determined from the category of the fill material and the type and weight of the compacting plant as defined in the Specification. They will be determined prior to commencing operations and may be varied as the work proceeds. During placement construction traffic shall be directed uniformly over the whole of the compacted area. Any damage to compacted layers shall be made good prior to placement of any further layers.

4.13 If any material deposited as fill subsequently reaches a condition such that it cannot be compacted in accordance with the requirements of the Contract it shall either:

i) be removed from the works either to the unsuitable area or elsewhere until it is in a suitable physical condition for re-use and replaced with acceptable material, or

ii) be made good by mechanical or chemical means to improve stability, or

iii) works shall be terminated on the material until its physical condition is again such that it can be compacted as described in the Specification.

4.14 All fill shall be placed in near horizontal layers and made up evenly with an adequate fall maintained on the compacted surface at all times so that surface water may be shed rapidly. The fall should be directed away from the operational fill area. Surface water may need to be controlled to prevent flooding of adjacent land.

4.15 When fill levels have risen sufficiently for natural drainage of the area, the surface shall be regulated to avoid ponding and secure rapid run off. Particular attention shall be paid to ensuring the site is free draining at the end of each working day. No nuisance shall be caused to owners and occupiers of adjacent land or the Local Authority in respect of its road and sewers by surface water and any sand, silt or clay carried in suspension draining from the site. All necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that all such run off is contained on the site and dispersed via silt traps in a planned manner. Any proposals to dispose of excess water to a public sewer shall be subject to the prior agreement and requirements of the responsible Authority.

4.16 In the event of the work being suspended by prolonged wet weather or frost, filling operations shall not be resumed until the formation level or compacted surface has drained or thawed and inspections have shown it still to be in a sufficient state of compaction. If considered necessary, further compaction shall take place to restore the surface to its previous condition before any new fill is deposited.

4.17 Special care shall be taken around the margins of the fill to ensure that these areas are properly compacted. If necessary, in small fill areas, special compaction machinery shall be used and layer thickness reduced but in no case shall a lower standard of compaction be accepted.

4.18 Where excavation material includes any blocks of natural or man-made origin which exceed 2/3rds the compacted layer thickness or are greater than approximately 0.015m³ in volume, the materials shall be deemed to be unacceptable for immediate re-use as fill without processing.

4.19 Any organic materials (such as wood branches etc) encountered either at the site of excavation or within the fill area shall be removed.

4.20 When materials of widely divergent characteristics are used in fill areas, they shall be spread and compacted in separate clearly defined areas in such a manner as to comply with the requirements for each material type as defined in the Specification. If more than one class of material is used such that it is impracticable to define the areas in which each class occurs separately, compaction plant shall be operated as if only the material which requires the greatest compactive effort is being compacted.

4.21 All reasonable steps shall be taken to prevent nuisance from dust blowing from the surface of the site and, in particular, special attention shall be given to haul roads by regular watering or other treatment.

4.22 The engineered infill shall be designed to allow for raft type foundations with a minimum bearing capacity of 80 kN/m².

4.23 The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the requirement for any drainage layers within the engineered infill. Additionally the requirement for drainage measures to intercept any seepages from the quarry walls will need to be considered.

4.23 The Contractor shall include within his design and works settlement monitoring apparatus and a long term monitoring/reporting regime (minimum 2 years).

4.24 The Contractor shall note that the precise location of the resultant buried highwall will be required. The Contractor shall allow for all necessary surveying to record the rock face of the existing exposed and buried walls to the void. The Contractor shall provide ssupporting information to demonstrate the developable area, and areas associated with the quarry high wall which are sterilised for development. The derivation of such areas shall be supported by analysis of the predicted settlement of the infill materials.

4.25 The Contractor shall allow for the establishment of a daily monitoring regime to record the amount of precipitation at the site, the water level in the main void and the rate and duration of any pumping from/into the main void.

4.26 The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the suitability of the materials placed and compacted within the shallow void during 2002 for incorporation into this Contract. If deemed suitable for incorporation without any further works the Contractor shall include within his design appropriate geotechnical justification to the satisfaction of the Employers Representative. The Contractor shall also accept liability for the previous works and include it within his warranties for the whole of the works.

5 Excavation, Classification and Utilisation of Excavated Materials

5.1 The majority of the materials to be excavated will comprise topsoil, subsoil, clay, silt, sand and gravel.

5.2 The Contractor may use any of the excavated materials within the Works (subject to compliance with the specification) and any surplus material shall be deposited in adjacent areas at locations to be agreed.

6 Access Roads and Haul Roads

6.1 Access to the site shall be via the existing gates onto Tuttle Hill. The Contractor shall take all necessary measures to prohibit the deposition of mud etc onto Tuttle Hill. The Contractor shall obtain written approval from the Highways Authority in relation to the use of the access and any necessary modifications and signage.

6.2 The Contractor shall construct and maintain temporary haul roads to a standard which the Contractor considers will be suitable for the trafficking of his plant etc and shall remove and reinstate all temporary haul roads on completion of the works.

7 Working Constraints

7.1 The Contractor shall make allowance within his design and construction works for the limitations of working within a quarry site with unprotected highwall/slopes and deep water

7.2 Due to the depth of the quarry void and the limitation of the working area in the base of the void the Contractor shall be aware of the need for careful planning and programming of the works.

8 Control of Surface Water and Groundwater

8.1 The Contractor shall take all measures to collect and control groundwater and surface water during the works and shall ensure that all discharges satisfy the Environment Agency.

9 Possession of Site

9.1 Prior to commencement of the Works, the boundary to the Site shall be agreed between the Employer and the Contractor. Access to all areas of the Site will be available from the Date of Commencement of Works. The Contractor shall note that the entrance onto Tuttle Hill shall also provide access to the quarry for the Employer. It is essential that access to the site for the Employers vehicles is maintained at all times unless agreed otherwise by Employer.

Description of Works

Description of Works

1.3 Century Park Limited propose to redevelop the whole of the Midland Quarry site which involves a number of inter-linked projects with varying timescales. An indication of the development proposals and evolution of the site is outlined below.

Water Body in Main Void (ENV 2)

1.4 It is intended that the water body present in the main quarry void will be retained and enhanced as an environmental and recreational resource. The water body will provide a central lake with the potential to include facilities such as a marina with boat storage and servicing.

Development South of the Main Void (DEV 5)

1.8 The proposal for DEV 5, to the south of the main void, is for a mixed use development incorporating development falling under Use Class B1.

Proposed Access Option INF 3

1.11 DEV 5 is to be accessed in the long term from Tuttle Hill following the creation of a new link road INF 3, to the west of the main void. This area does not form part of this Contract.

Development East of the Main Void (DEV 11)

1.12 It is proposed that the shallow void to the east of the main void will be infilled to create approximately 2 hectares of high quality waterside residential development within DEV11. The final number and mix of dwelling types will be determined at the detailed planning stage.

1.14 A combination of B1/leisure development is proposed for 2.02 hectares in the northern section of DEV 11 along the B4114 Tuttle Hill. The Contract includes the preparation of some of this land by reducing levels to form a suitable platform, as shown on Drawing WM02457/104

Proposed Access Option INF 3.1

Geology

1.17 The geology of the site is recorded on the 1:10,000 scale geological maps, Sheet SP 39 SE and SP 39 SW published by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in 1992.

1.18 The published geological mapping indicates the presence of made ground materials to the south and south west of the site. These materials form an overburden / spoil mound resulting from former quarrying activities.

1.20 The geological mapping indicates the site to be underlain predominantly by strata of the Hartshill Sandstone Formation of Cambrian age. This Formation is summarised below:

1.21 A large lamprophyre sill (igneous) is indicated to be intruded into the Tuttle Hill Member, dipping steeply to the south west at between 40o and 60o. The sill, exposed in the north and north eastern face of the quarry void, is reported to be the largest exposure of its kind in Warwickshire.
