Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services

The Sub Committee considered a Gateway 1-4 report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding the refurbishment of the Barbican Estate Tower Lifts. In response to a question from a Member, the Director of Community & Children’s Services advised that they would confirm that enough funding was held in reserve to cover leaseholder contributions if necessary. Members requested as a general style point that Corporate Projects Board not be included amongst the list of Committees on the report template.

RESOLVED – That the Operational Property and Projects Sub Committee agree:

1.    That budget of £50,000 is approved to engage a specialist lift consultant to undertake liaison with internal and external stakeholders, to formulate a specification to tender and cover staff costs;

2.    Note the project budget of £50,000 (excluding risk);

3.    Note the total estimated cost of the project at £4,600,000(excluding risk); and

4.    That Option 1 is approved to fully refurbish all nine lifts in the three Barbican Estate Towers.
