RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1) Accept the tender from Greyline Ltd for refurbishment works to Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Civic Centre of the London Borough of Hillingdon at the value of £6,244,282.69.
2) Agrees to the Capital Release of £2,562k for the first two phases of works:
a. Phase 1 – 2 East (Pilot Quadrant office refurbishment) and 1 North (Staff Breakout and a reception area currently used by Housing)
b. Phase 2 – Corporate Reception and Middlesex Suite Refurbishment
3) Delegates any further decisions on the project, and to Phase 3 of the works (7 further Office Quadrants) to the Leader of the Council, Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport and Cabinet Member for Finance, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Place.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet agreed to accept a tender and approve capital release funds for the main refurbishment works at the Civic Centre, which would support the transformation, refurbishment and re-use of the Civic Centre as a workplace, the co-location of services to residents and to reduce the Council’s carbon footprint.
The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport noted that the Civic Centre was the Council’s largest asset and the importance to ensure the occupation of floorspace was maximised going forward.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided to not proceed with the works, and thereby not realise any benefits of using various areas of the Civic Centre.
