A contractor has been appointed to carry out quantity surveying services for the Queens Gardens redevelopment scheme.
Hull City Council has published a decision record confirming the award of contract to Focus Consultants 2010 LLP for the sum of £71,344, to support the delivery of the refurbishment works at Queens Gardens, which are scheduled to take place between spring 2022 and winter 2023.
This aspect of the project focuses on the provision of specialist quantity surveying advice and support, which is not available in-house.
The £11.7m Queens Gardens redevelopment includes the improvement of accessibility and visitor flows, delivery of structural repairs through rebuilding the perimeter walls, introduction of bespoke pieces of public art, improvement of biodiversity and the regeneration of a much-loved open space.
The project will make the gardens fit for purpose, futureproofing the space and its ability to host large-scale events. The history of the gardens will be incorporated in its design, reconnecting it with the origins of the space as a former dock.
The project includes the refurbishment of the Rose Bowl and its historic fountain, the inclusion of various art installations and the creation of a large and flexible event space, as well as incorporating modern, eco-friendly features including electric charging points for taxis and the introduction of plants and trees to increase the gardens’ biodiversity.
