The Contracting Authority is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to deliver the design and build of an animal feed storage (AFS) facility. It is anticipated that the AFS will be an extension to the existing AFS, with a potential floor area in the region of 20 000 m², storing up to 100 000 tonnes of feed. Design must be to ATEX compliance. It is envisaged that the scope will include the design and construction of: the building structure including but not limited to enabling works, cladding, drainage, external works; all electrical and mechanical requirements; required conveying systems to transport the animal feed; all necessary control systems to manage the storage of the animal feed. Both the building, the conveyor and control system will be required to be linked into the existing AFS. The final size of the AFS will be determined by the requirements of planning as it is located adjacent to a SSSI. The development will be located at Seaforth Docks Liverpool.
