Meeting documents

Cabinet received a report which provided an update on key matters of concern regarding construction costs reported to the SBDC Joint Resources and Healthy Communities PAG on 29 January 2018 and Cabinet on 07 February 2018. The revised cost estimate from the framework contractor was set out in Appendix C of the report.  The report also set out the draft business case, based on the latest revised estimate cost, ahead of the final business case which was to be approved by Cabinet once 100% cost certainty is obtained.

RESOLVED

1.      that the current position and the draft business case following the revised cost estimate received from the framework contractor be noted; and

2.      to proceed with obtaining 100% cost certainty at a cost of £100,000, which is within the allocated £800,000 agreed by Council on 1 March 2017, with a further report to be presented on the detailed business plan before moving to the development phase subject to planning consent being achieved.
