Details: The subject of the contract is the construction of a multi-purpose playground in the Petlérská Primary School complex in Klášterec Nad Ohří. The construction is located on plot no. 1704/169 in the area of the original playground, which will be demolished, and in its place a new multi-purpose sports field measuring 38 x 21 meters will be created, designed for sports such as volleyball, football, streetball, five-a-side football and tennis, according to the planning application prepared by Linhart, Ltd. The playground will be fenced with a fence with a total height of 4 m. Up to a height of 1 m, the fencing will be made partly of wooden planks. Welded 2D fence panels with a wire diameter of 6.8 mm and 5.6 mm will be placed above them. The fencing will be anchored to concrete footings and a concrete belt made of cast formwork. The posts are square in cross-section, measuring 80x80 mm. The playground is bordered on two sides by an access path made of interlocking paving stones. The terrain will be leveled using a 1:2 slope. The slope will be formed mainly from the existing base, which will be created during the preparatory work, and approximately 16 m3 of soil will be brought in for grassing. The existing basketball hoops will be carefully dismantled and handed over to the investor for further use. The construction is designed so as not to negatively affect the surrounding buildings and land. The drainage system ensures the drainage of rainwater in the form of a seepage, which ensures the protection of the surroundings from excessive moisture. The new fencing is complemented by two gates with a width of 2,530 mm. One entrance is connected to the existing interlocking paving area, while the other is connected to a new paved interlocking paving area. The solution also includes a paved area for the installation of four benches and one waste bin with a protective canopy, all at the investor's choice. The pitch has a new permeable polyurethane surface with a thickness of 11 mm, which is laid on a two-layer asphalt base Ako 8 and Ako 16, both layers 40 mm thick. Concrete foundations measuring 700 x 700 x 800 mm are designed for the installation of volleyball and tennis posts with a diameter of 89 mm. These foundations will ensure sufficient stability and strength of the posts during their use. A steel casing with a diameter of 102 mm and a wall thickness of 4 mm will be concreted into the concrete foundations, into which the columns will be inserted. This construction allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the columns, which contributes to the flexibility of using the multi-purpose sports center for various types of sports. Access and arrival to the construction site is via the existing road. For details, see the Pd and the Bill of Quantities. The Contractor's delivery includes, in addition to the work specified in the Bill of Quantities, the provision of the following activities: * Execution of the work according to the Bill of Quantities, in accordance with valid permits, according to valid standards and regulations, including the expected work related to the subject of the work (e.g. washing and cleaning of roads, transportation of materials and mechanization, etc.). * Engineering Activities of the Contractor for the Entire Duration of the Contract Until the Time of Handing Over the Communication to Its User Back into Use, I.e.

We require the processing of geodetic documentation also in the Jvf Dtm. "the preparation of the geodetic part of the documentation of the actual implementation of the construction or the geodetic basis for maintaining a digital technical map of the Ústí nad Labem region, containing the geometric, positional and height determination of the completed construction or technological equipment, will be prepared in accordance with § 5 A in the structure according to Annexes No. 3 and 4 of Decree No. 393/2020 Coll. On the Digital Technical Map (DTM Decree), as amended, in the currently valid version of the exchange format according to § 6 of the DTM Decree. The geodetic basis is prepared using the existing data of the digital technical map. The geodetic basis includes an assessment of the continuity of the result of the survey of the new state with the existing state.” * The completed construction will be handed over to the use of the city of Klášterec nad Ohří. For some of these activities, separate items are not listed in the Vv. The costs of ensuring the above will be included and allocated to individual items of construction work and thus to the total costs of the construction.
