Purpose

Following the decision to install additional
netting to extend the lifespan of Crown Pools while the new
aquatics centre is under construction. the existing lighting,
positioned above the netting, will obstruct light levels and
contribute to localised failures, significantly reducing
illumination at night and fail to meet CIBSE guidance standards. As
a result, urgent woks are required to the lighting.
 
An exemption to Contract Standing Orders was
approved to enable the works to the lighting to be conducted as a
matter of urgency and the contract for the work has been awarded to
Optimum Controls who have knowledge of the building’s wiring,
layout and restrictions, having undertaken a number of
alterations and repairs to the lighting and
have a full understanding of the technical requirements.

Decision

To award the contract to Optimum Controls to
Design, supply and install new lighting.
 
Reason:
To provide the lighting to meet CIBSE guidance
standards.
