Tender Writers
The council today published a notice inviting construction companies to bid for the job of building a new 4-storey office block, library and adult education centre on the Charles Street site in Dorchester town centre.
The value of the contract is said to be between £8.3 million and £9 million.
The deadline for applying for the job is June 21. A shortlist of between five and 10 contractors will be announced in August, with a final decision expected to be made before the end of the year.
The notice says that work should take 60-70 weeks, with completion scheduled for May 2012.
There is, of course, one big potential obstacle; the scheme has not yet received planning permission. Indeed, an application by Simons Developments was only submitted to West Dorset District Council at the end of April and it is likely to attract substantial opposition.
