Noise abatement measures for aided schools

The Architectural Services Department is inviting contractors to participate in a prequalification exercise for carrying out noise abatement measure works in about 140 aided schools.

The project comprises design and installation of aluminium windows, air- conditioners, exhaust fans, electrical wiring and associated builder's work to the affected classrooms, special rooms, staff rooms. New transformer rooms and switch rooms are also required.

Features of the project are the large number of schools affected, their diversity in geographic locations and noise abatement works to be carried out in rigid time constraint and completed in time so as not to disturb class operation.

Contractors on the Approved Contractors for Public Works List 1 in Group C for Building Works can apply for prequalification.

Interested parties may apply for prequalification documents from the Senior Property Services Manager, seventh floor, APB Centre, 9 Sung Ping Street, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon.

The deadline for submission of applications is noon on May 10, and tenders will be invited from the prequalified contractors in July.
