a. Avalon Primary School is undertaking roof replacement and associated remediation works to Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10. This may include:
i. General Description: The project will replace end-of-life and deteriorated roof areas to provide a safer, durable and fit-for-purpose roofing solution. The roofing specialist report identified these areas as being at or near the end of their serviceable life. A subsequent scoping inspection confirmed widespread deterioration and the need for replacement and remediation
ii. Outcome sought: The outcome sought is to replace the end-of-life and deteriorated roofing across Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 at Avalon Primary School, providing durable, weathertight roofing that protects the buildings and supports a safe learning environment, while minimising disruption to school operations.
iii. History: A 10YPP specialist report identified significant condition and weathertightness issues. This project is included in the current 5YA programme.
iv. Overview of the programme of which this project is a part: The works form part of the School’s current 5YA programme and are funded from 5YA and 5YA supplementary funding.
v. requirements for phasing and / or staged handover of the project: The roofing replacement works to Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 will need to be staged and coordinated with the school to minimise disruption to teaching and maintain safe school operations throughout construction.

Each completed area must be weather-tight, safe and cleared of construction materials before being handed back for school use.
