Reasons for
recommendation
Based on the evaluation criteria, awarding to
the contract provides the best option to the Council.
 
Evidence provided by the company demonstrates
that they are well equipped to undertake the works as set out in
the tender.
 
Other options
considered and rejected
To retain the existing bus shelter stock and
only repair or replace them on an ad hoc basis. This has been
rejected as in some cases the cost of repair is significant and
will not benefit from economies of scale. The shelters will also
continue to deteriorate.
 
To remove the bus shelters and not replace
them. This has been rejected as it would leave the public exposed
to the elements leading to dissatisfaction and complaints.
 
Optional extras are included for all shelters.
This has been rejected as it would significantly increase the
overall costs and they may be susceptible to vandalism.
