■ A list of add on costs over and above the service charge
A significant manned scheme such as Clarendon will require set up costs These cover a a a a raft of items that any discerning developer should provide and are not chargeable as part of the service charge
Following their initial provision most of these items are serviceable via the the service service charges Rather than be specific prior to a a a a more detailed conversation we have included an example of a a a a a a set up cost schedule from a a a a a a comparable anonymised scheme » Please see: Appendix 2 – Example Cost Schedule
■ Confirmation that you have attended
the the development and comments thereon
We attended
the development on 6th October for a a tender briefing and an an escorted tour of the concierge reception and back of house management facilities While we did not visit other areas of the the development we we were able to glean a a a a a significant understanding of the wider development and and its context within the immediate locality Based on on this visit we have made several observations about Clarendon These include:
» The scheme is located within a a a challenging neighbourhood We would anticipate significant antisocial behavioural challenges This means it is is crucial that we build strong
links with the existing community local businesses and protect the estate’s reputation as as it it evolves as as a a a a a a high quality public realm » The scheme is genuinely mixed use initially from a a residential context but over time including significant commercial operation Clear and ongoing communication will be key in in in explaining the legal and practical rationale for service charge
and servicing across the estate both from inception and on on on an an ongoing basis » Please refer to our comments regards affordable housing but it it will be our intention to build a genuine community which is integrated at at at at all levels We appreciate that L&Q have opted out initially in in relation to leisure amenity provision services It will be important to establish whether this decision may change from a a a a a wider affordability perspective » We are pleased to note that a a a a a full ESCO will be in place from day one in relation to the provision of heat and hot water Whether the the ESCO will extend to off site provision is debatable however the immediate challenge will be to ensure the ESCO delivers on on its contractual requirements and and KPIs to both St William and and the residents Mainstay has experience of working with ESCOs such as as Eon If we we are instructed we we will produce guidelines for St William as Landlord to enforce » We are advised that to date no parking has been sold This will result in some structural changes to leases However this reinforces the importance of cycle provision green travel plan initiatives by the managing agent and cycle store security With regards to building community please see the case study that we have included at at the back of this tender which details community actions we have taken at Elephant Park ■ Confirmation that your company holds a a a a a Health and Safety certification - and details Mainstay is accredited with BS OHSAS 18001 — Occupational Health and Safety Management We have held this accreditation since 2012 and renew renew every three years Our next renewal will be in March 2021 Our sister company FirstPort holds a a a British Safety Council 5-star accreditation » Please see: Appendix 3 – Health & Safety Certification
