 - Bank stabilisation and erosion reduction

 - Removal HHSRS hazardous slope to communal land

 - Strengthen embankment to water course

 - Improve site amenity

 - Improve biodiversity of site

 - Apply Breeam sustainability code

 Gabions are environmental approach under Breeam and have sufficient flexibility to allow some movement and change shape should subsidence or settlement occur and yet retain their strength and structural integrity.

 Hydraulic engineering. Gabions are naturally porous and do not generally do not require incorporation of an additional drainage system.

 All works should complying with

 BS 8002:1994 Design of Earth-retaining structures

 BS 8004 Foundations

 BS 8006:1995 Strengthened/Reinforced Soils

 EN 1997-1:2004 - Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design

 BS 1052 Welded Wire Fabric

 - 140 tons Class6G Gabion stone

 - 80M2 geotextile filter membrane

 - 20 ton granular fill

 - 200 tons sub soil fill

 - 100 tons clean topsoil

 Weld mesh alu zinc 3mm/4.55mm Baskets 1m width filled with 100-150mm clean lime stone .Class 6G gabion stone. Assuming 1.7 tons/M3 gives 136 tons of Gabion Class 6G stone

 Back of gabions lined with geotextile filter material to prevent soil fines leaching and 150mm layer granular fill.

 Site preparation beneath first course of baskets to have all organic matter excavated and formation compacted and improved with 150-200mm layer of type 1 MOT limestone sub base. Gabions should be set up 0.5m below ground. Gabions to be set with 6% tilt into the bank for added strength.

 Topsoil to be strip from areas behind and set aside for reuse. Ground levels behind gabions to be built up using sub soil in suitably compacted layers. Layers to be 300-500mm. Inert rubble material from site may be used as filled material below 1m depth.Approximate quantity of fill material 200 tons of subsoil and 100 tons of clean topsoil.Grass and meadow seeding done by others.

 Installation guidelines for GRASS surfaced cellular porous paving

 1. Place paver units with dimpled face uppermost (flared base down) onto the prepared, well consolidated bedding layer (see note 5). The leading edge of the pavers should have the fixing lugs exposed for quick and easy installation. No pegging is required. Edging boards or kerbs can be used where required, according to local soil conditions.

 2. Connect the pavers using the lugs and slots, progressing over the area in rows. Use protective gloves to avoid abrasions. Leave a 10mm gap around the edge to allow for expansion.

 3. Pavers can be cut using a hand or power saw to fit around obstructions and contours. Cut pieces which are less than half the original size should be avoided where possible.

 4. Fill the pavers with the specified propriety rootzone. Finished levels should be 7-10mm below the top of the cells after settlement. Do not overfill the paver cells. A light vibrating plate can be used to consolidate the pavers and to settle the rootzone infill if required.

 5. Rootzone must be a free-draining structurally sound sand:compost or sand:soil blend. This is a nominal proprietary blend of 60:40 or 70:30 ratio. Self blending is not recommended.

 6. Carry out a normal seeding, fertilising and watering programme. A very light top dressing may be applied to just cover the seed and to provide adequate germination conditions. DO NOT OVERFILL.

 7. The surface may be trafficked immediately, but it is preferable to allow the grass to fully establish prior to use, typically 8 weeks.

 8. Thin-cut or washed turf may be lightly rolled into the surface as an alternative if required.

 Note 1:

 If TDP SN20 geogrid is omitted, then the total sub base layer thickness must be increased by a minimum 50%.

 Note 2:

 Typical drainage details; 100mm diameter perforated pipe drain laid at minimum gradient 1:100, bedded on gravel in trench backfilled with ‘DoT Type A’ drainage stone, covered or wrapped with a geotextile fabric and leading to a suitable outfall or soakaway. Drains placed down centre or one edge of access routes up to 5m wide. Wider areas may require additional drains at 5m - 10m centres. Drainage design by specifier based on specific ground conditions on site.

 Note 3:

 A ‘DoT Type 1’ sub base may be used, provided that an adequate drainage system is installed, or alternatively a porous/open-graded (reduced fines) sub base layer, e.g. as part of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) application. If a reduced fines sub base layer is specified, this must be covered with either a geotextile filter membrane and/or suitable clean gravel binding layer, to avoid fine particles entering the sub base layer.

 Note 4:

 Rootzone bedding and paver fill must be a free-draining, structurally sound proprietary blend of sand:soil or sand:compost such as that used in sports/golf construction. This is normally identified as a 60:40 or 70:30 ratio blend and in-situ self-blending is NOT recommended.

 Note 5:

 Maximum advised gradient for traffic applications is

 12% (1:8) 7°.

title: Refrigerants in heat pumps review

description: Climate change is not only a massive threat to the global environment, it is also perhaps the greatest economic challenge facing us in the twenty-first century. It demands an urgent and radical response across the developed and developing world. At the same time, the UK needs to secure clean, safe, affordable energy to heat and power our homes and businesses. Creating a low carbon and resource efficient world means making major structural changes to the way we work and live, including how we source, manage and use our energy. With the support for heat pumps through the RHI and the targeted increase in installations laid out in the Heat Strategy, there is a need to improve the evidence base in the area of refrigerant use in heat pumps, both in terms of better quantifying the potential environmental impact but also to guide policy and decision making. One of the key drivers for heat pump deployment is to reduce the CO2 emissions from heat, in particular the domestic sector. In order for an electrically powered heat pump to be lower carbon than a standard combi-boiler it must have a Seasonal Performance Factor greater than 2.3. This efficiency requirement is directly influenced by the CO2e emissions as a result of refrigerant leakage. Therefore having a better understanding of the emissions associated with individual heat pump systems will improve the accuracy of the carbon performance of this sector. The UK’s GHG Inventory currently uses assumptions about the current use of F-gases in heat pumps which are based on a limited number of sources which may need updating to reflect a rapidly changing sector. Likewise DECC’s projections of non-CO2 greenhouse gases also make assumptions on future leakage rates and market size which this study would inform. DEFRA provide advice and guidance on the use of F-gases within products such as heat pumps and co-ordinate the government’s involvement with the EU F-gas regulations, therefore the findings of this study will influence the advice and support they provide.

title: Mutuals Support Programme – Sensing Change – Suffolk County Council

description: Sensing Change (the “Potential PSM”), a social work practice pilot, launched in October 2011 is now seeking to move permanently out of Suffolk County Council (the “Parent Body”). They have 44 members of staff (mix of full and part time posts: total of 32 FTE) – all of which were seconded in from the original County Sensory Team from within the Parent Body - and a turnover of £1.2m. The Potential PSM is a company limited by guarantee and is wholly owned by the Parent Body. They provide assessment, rehabilitation support, equipment (e.g. white canes, pager systems, screen phones, door bells) and interpreting services for people with sensory impairment. They have already begun to diversify from Parent Body contracts, for example providing communication support and signed information in DVD format, and are aware of the necessity to generate additional income through, for example, Sensory Awareness Training and British Sign Language Courses – the Potential PSM are also hoping to offer specialist assessments and rehabilitation programmes outside Suffolk. The Potential PSM has been operating as a social work practice under a Department of Health pilot scheme to test the benefits of delegating statutory duties to independent practices. The pilot scheme was originally for 2 years, and has now been extended to end of March 2014 –this was to allow additional time for the evaluation of the schemes. Department of Health funding supported the original pilot scheme, business planning and board development. The Department of Health are working towards ensuring the temporary legislation which enables the pilot schemes to operate will be made permanent from April 2014 - when this project intends to „go live‟. The Parent Body support the social work practice pilot and now indicate support for the full spin out. The Potential PSM are highly committed and employees have also been supportive – the managing director estimates that 90-95% of staff are in favour of the move. The Potential PSM is led by the Managing Director who has run the service for 8 years. They have developed a draft business plan (please see separate attachment) and have a clear idea of numbers (please see separate attachment). Some of their indirect costs are retained by the Parent Body i.e. HR services, IT and finance. The Potential PSM has however brought in external HR (the provider is Blue Star), finance and Legal advice (the provider is Aquabridge Law), focused on the transfer of employees from the Parent Body to the new entity. To date HR and Legal advice has only consisted of initial meetings, and an accountant (from Miller Wash Accountants) has undertaken a financial audit (full audit testing of systems and a sample of transactions to ensure correct processes) – results due end of March 2013. The Potential PSM will continue to use HR and Legal support throughout the spin out and will have access to finance if needed. They are also aware that they will also need to develop skills via their Board in order to build on commercial experience.

This also known as ‘Pre-Qualification,’ During RFI stage , the intention is to arrive at a shortlist of qualified Potential Providers for a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) against the requirement as advertised in Contracts Finder TSC is now seeking to appoint a suitably experienced contractor to deliver a high quality fit-out of the identified space. TSC is currently in the process of appointing a multi-disciplinary Project Management and Design Team to produce an interior design to RIBA Stage D and to subsequently manage the delivery of the fit-out works. TSC anticipates that they will have around 100 staff based at the new offices within 12 months of occupation, although it’s unlikely that this number of staff will be present at any one time. It is anticipated that the design will cater for a mix of permanent desks and hot desks as well as an appropriate number of individual offices, meeting rooms, break-out spaces, tea points and a reception facility. The aspiration for the new office space is for it to both reflect and inspire the innovative and creative nature of the business. Consequently, a high quality fit-out is desired creating a ‘wow’ factor.

title: Defra R&D Data Collection Programme FY2013/14 for recommended Marine Conservation Zones (rMCZ)

description: As part of the implementation by HM Government of the Marine and Coastal Access Act, a network of conservation sites, intended to conserve or improve the UK marine environment, is being created in British seas. The network will comprise European Marine Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Ramsar sites and Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs). Marine Conservation Zones conserve the diversity of nationally rare, threatened and representative habitats and species. The zones were designated as the culmination of a process closely involving stakeholders. In September 2011, four stakeholder-led regional projects proposed 127 sites for Marine Conservation Zones. These were reviewed by the independent Marine Protected Areas Science Advisory Panel, which advised Defra that there were gaps in the evidence used to support the recommendations. In November 2011, the minister announced that Defra would designate sites in tranches and fund additional survey work to support MCZ designations. On 21 November 2013, the UK Government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) designated the first tranche of Marine Conservation Zones containing 27 sites. To ensure that the supporting evidence base is sufficient for the purpose, and building upon the success of similar programmes conducted in the two previous years, Defra are (where appropriate) commissioning the collection of additional evidence by means of marine surveys from a number of pre-defined rMCZs during the current financial year (FY2013/14). As an executive agency of Defra, Cefas will act as R&D Programme Managers for this work. Cefas’ main responsibilities will be to co-ordinate the collection of scientifically robust and cost-effective evidence from within a selection of rMCZs during the remainder of FY2013/14 and to manage the delivery of the resulting survey / data outputs. The work will be undertaken via marine surveys and the programme will be conducted in close consultation with Defra, Natural England, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), the Environment Agency (EA), and the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs).

title: Quality Assurance of AIMs and Water Trading

description:
Ofwat has proposed significant changes to the existing framework of economic regulation of the water sector. We set out how we propose to use to set price limits for water and sewerage services to customers for the five years from 2015 to 2020 in January 2013: http://www.ofwat.gov.uk/pricereview/pr14/pr14publications/prs_web201301framework

 In this document, we explained that there is scope for significant benefits to customers and the environment if companies make better use of water resources (see Chapter 7, pages 109-120). These benefits include:

 - reduced costs;

 - increased resilience of customers’ water supplies; and

 - reduced pressure on the environment caused by abstraction in water scarce areas.

 We proposed to introduce new targeted incentives to encourage efficient water trading, supported by the Abstraction Incentive Mechanism (AIM), which is designed to send signals to companies about the environmental costs of over-abstraction at the most environmentally sensitive sites.

 These incentives are also designed to complement and facilitate the longer-term reforms set out by the UK Government in the Water White Paper and draft Water Bill. They are an important first step in realising the benefits of these longer-term reforms, but also deliver benefits to customers and the environment in the shorter term.

 For water trading our preferred approach is to provide incentives for both exporters (sellers) and importers (buyers) of water. For AIM our preferred approach is to use a simple incentive that targets the most damaging over- abstractions. The document explains and summarises the main elements of our proposals for both water trading and AIM.

 Before Ofwat decides to implement the water trading and AIM incentives, in line with our standard practice on the Price Limits project, we wish to put in place an assurance process for our methodology around water trading and AIM, and the workings of and assumptions underlying our spreadsheet models.

 We propose the following project milestones and timescales.

title: DFID 6159 - TradeMark Southern Africa (TMSA) Evaluation

description: For the first stage of the evaluation, the objective is to review progress and trajectory and use the evaluation to improve performance for the remainder of the Programme (estimated at 14 months from completion of the evaluation) and more importantly to inform and help shape any second phase of the Programme or similar programmes (DFID’s and others’). In doing so it will inform data needs for measuring the Programme’s impact at programme-end; and it will test whether the Programme’s theory of change is appropriate and valid, and revise it if necessary. The objective of the second stage of the evaluation will be to assess the impact of the Programme. It will comprehensively evaluate the Programme’s achievements and performance, and the value for money delivered by the Programme. Furthermore, the overall evaluation should help to identify political economy or institutional constraints (including coordination) impeding the achievement of regional integration objectives; and the process of undertaking the evaluation should improve the cooperation and sharing of experiences between partners. The evaluation should as a result help policy-makers identify and address some of the key political, economic or institutional obstacles. This will be a comprehensive evaluation consistent with OECD-DAC principles and evaluation criteria, and DFID’s Ethics. It will refer to the theory of change and other key project documents to evaluate (i) the programme’s relevance; (ii) its effectiveness; (iii) its efficiency; (iv) its impact; and, (v) its sustainability. The first-stage will have a more in-depth focus on (i), (ii) and (iii). The end-term evaluation, in turn, will again evaluate all criteria, but focus relatively more on (iv) and (v). Both will also need to consider aid effectiveness (with reference to the Paris Declaration) and where relevant cross-cutting issues, such as gender, poverty, HIV/AIDS and climate change/ the environment.

description: DVLA Vehicle Inspection Services Contract. The Secretary of State for Transport acting through the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (“DVLA” or the “Contracting Authority”) is seeking to award a Contract for the delivery of Vehicle Inspection Services on a national basis to a suitably competent Contractor . In June 2012 a public consultation into the transformation of the Contracting Authority's services concluded that the closing of the Great Britain (GB) local office network by December 2013 was a key driver in the Contracting Authority delivering its efficiency saving targets in line with broader government spending. Since this time the Contracting Authority has actively been transferring work that is currently undertaken within its network of 39 offices to Swansea. While the majority of the work that is undertaken within the network can be completed at Swansea, vehicle inspections are not a service that can be centralised to a single location without having a significant detrimental effect on customer service. The Contracting Authority currently inspects vehicles for a number of reasons, including but not limited to: Vehicle registration number (VRM) transfer; First registration; Post registration discrepancies; Built up vehicles (including kits, rebuilt and radically altered vehicles); Imports; MOT mismatches; Changes to vehicle description e.g. body type changes; Two vehicles claiming the same VRM; and Two vehicles claiming the same chassis number. All of the above inspections are to satisfy the Contracting Authority's requirement that the vehicle being presented as part of an application is the vehicle relating to the application being made. In line with the Motoring Services Strategy and the wider Digital by Default Strategy set by the Cabinet Office, the Contracting Authority will be looking to re-engineer a number of their existing business processes to support the delivery and take up of online services. The re-engineering of business process will likely see alternative processes developed and implemented to reduce the burden on users when interacting with the Contracting Authority. However, these re- engineered processes will still ensure there is an underlying need for the Contracting Authority to inspect the vehicle to support an application. The Contracting Authority is therefore seeking to appoint a Contractor who can provide the Vehicle Inspection Services that is currently being delivered by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). CPV: 71631200, 34100000, 34210000, 71631000.
