Agenda item

The Committee considered a report proposing the combining of two projects to progress to Gateway 4a, and in order to select the best option in terms of whole-life costings, sought to appoint a Quantity Surveyor and a Contractor for just early contractor involvement.

RESOLVED - That

a)            Approval be given to the Director of the Built Environment to proceed to the next gateway by combining the above listed two projects and close them as two separate projects.

b)            Approval for an increase of the budget by £280,000 to allow a consultant to be appointed, undertake any further exploratory works and for staff costs funded from the On-Street Parking Reserve, bringing the project overall budget to £313,000 (i.e. £280k + £33k already approved).
