Description

General scope: UNON is seeking a skilled and qualified General Building Contractor for the refurbishment and extension works in the Recreational Centre and its surroundings in the UNON Complex, Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya. The works will be executed in phases, yet to be determined, over a period of approximately eighteen (18) months, being the tentative starting day the 1st of March 2024. The purpose of the project is to extend the program of the building, upgrading the current sport facilities and introducing new dedicated events space, with intervention both within the existing building and in the outdoor areas within the site. Indoor works: The main building was constructed in the early 2000’s and consists of three storeys, with the following approximate areas (GIFA): the upper floor where the main entrance from the complex is located (ground floor) is 865 m2, the lower floor (semi-basement 01) is 1036 m2 and the lowest floor at the swimming pool level (semi-basement 02) is 78 m2. The works are mainly of refurbishment and renovation in different degrees depending on the area, but there are also some minor extensions. In the upper floor the area (GIFA) is extended in different areas by approximately 58 m2 and in the lower floor by approximately 26 m2. The building requires refurbishing works including but not limited to the following areas: changing facilities, toilets, restaurant and bar, gym, reception, multipurpose areas, events’ space, storage, plant rooms, outdoor terraces, and modular outdoor tents. Outdoor works The project comprises an overall outdoor area of approximately 50.000 m2, though the works only affect a reduced area within the site. The outdoor works mainly consist of hard and soft landscaping, introducing new paved areas and terraces, as well as refurbishing existing ones, installation of external shadowing systems (tensile, light structure, etc.), fences, installation of external modular prefabricated tents and potentially some minor earthworks. For both indoor and outdoor works, the project includes the intervention on M&E and services in general as well as the required structural elements.

The Vendor shall demonstrate to have the flexibility and the required financial funds to speedily mobilise the resources necessary to complete each phase of the works to meet the specific timeframes of each one, at the expected level of quality.

The vendor shall also demonstrate to have previous experiences in refurbishment, remodelling, renovation and fitting-out as well as new build of similar complex projects.
