Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of the electricity supply at Southwark Estate. Whilst Members accepted that this and other ‘Project Gateway’ reports need to be presented to the Projects Sub Committee before the spending Committee, they asked  why there had been a considerable delay in this case. 

RESOLVED, that:

1.    Approval be given for the necessary repairs to Lammas Green (flats) and Pakeman House communal electricity supplies are removed from this project and  undertaken instead under response repairs using the minor works framework.

2.    Otto Close communal electrics be removed from this project and instead inspected under the Phase Four Electrical contract;

3.    Approval be given for Middlesex Street Estate to be included within this project.

4.    The emergency repairs already carried out at Middlesex Street be noted.

5.    A approval be given to seek two separate tenders for works at Middlesex Street as follows:

i) Works that do not require section 20 Long Leasehold consultation at an estimated cost of £393,750 including staff costs and fees;

           ii) Works which require section 20 Long Leasehold consultation at 

           estimated cost of £337,500 including staff costs and fees.

6.    Estimated staff costs of £3,000 and estimated fees of £13,000 (2% of works costs) are approved to develop the specification and seek procurement;

The Project be renamed Middlesex Street Non-Emergency Electrical Works.
