Decision details

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet approves the appointment of an Engineering led multi-discipline consultant design team, Glanville Consultants, in the sum of £96,845  including provision for further third party surveys and reports to the sum of £54,000 which will be necessary to develop the scheme up to tender stage.

Reasons for decision

Cabinet considered this report in order to appoint an Engineering led external consultant design team following a competitive tendering exercise to progress the redevelopment of the New Year Green Civic Amenity site into a modern facility.

Alternative options considered and rejected

Cabinet were aware that the current facilities at New Years Green Lane were out of date and therefore to not appoint consultants to progress the redevelopment of the site would have increased the perceived risks to public health and safety due to public and trade depositing waste within the same area.

Officers to action:

Bill King, Susie Kemp, Barrie Edwards, Deputy Chief Executive Office
