Rokesley Mound Removal Works

Decision Maker: Assistant Director for Corporate Property and Major Projects

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:


To request approval to award a contract to Provectus Remediation Limited for £91,121.00 for the main contract works and to approve a contingency sum of £15,000 for any unknown abnormals found in the ground under the mounds at Rokesly Infant & Junior School, pursuant to Contract Standing Order (CSO) 9.07.1 (c) and issuance of Letter of Intent pursuant to CSO 9.07.3.

Reasons for the decision:

The stage 1 feasibility report that was produced by Fulkers identified that the mounds removal works should be conducted at the school during the school holiday period.
The feasibility inspection was undertaken once the school identified a concern to the mounds. An interim survey was undertaken to validate the school’s concerns and this project was awarded upon a visual inspection and limited site investigations. As a consequence, abnormal risks may be identified underneath the mounds that would affect the value of the contract sum.

Alternative options considered:


There are no resources within the Council that have the capacity along with the necessary experience, qualifications and expertise to deliver this service in house.
The works were competitively tendered, four contractors were invited to tender with 4 bids received. These responses have been evaluated by Fulker’s who are appointed to provide multi-disciplinary design services. Their recommendation for an award is noted in this report.
