(Report of the Director of Children’s Services. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children). The report seeks approval to appoint contractors for the Rhodes Avenue School Phase 3 Expansion project.
Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report, introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children, which sought approval to vary the third phase of the contract with Balfour Beatty Scottish and Southern Ltd, to deliver the Rhodes Avenue Phase 3 Expansion Project.
Exempt information pertaining to the report was considered under agenda item 24.
RESOLVED:
Alternative Options Considered
The following alternative options were considered:
Ø Do nothing – this option would not achieve the authority’s key responsibility in providing sufficient primary school places
Ø Reduce Scope – This failed to address existing condition and suitability issues contained within the project brief
To continue with existing contractual arrangements (traditional contract) – This did not provide the Council with cost and time certainty
Reasons for Decision
To complete the expansion of Rhodes Avenue Primary School to service the increased pupil numbers in the area and to minimise the Council’s exposure to costs and further delays to the programme by varying the final phase of work as a Design and Build project.
