Decision

Summary of
Decision
The Executive Director for Regeneration,
Economy and Planning has approved the variation to the contract sum
of £863,378 to include Contract Variations (£346,838),
the Hub works (£516,540), an additional Sectional Completion
and reduced Liquidated Damages Holiday. This is to be made by way
of Deed of Variation in the sum of £863,378.
 
Reasons for
Decision
Including the hub works within the main
contract provides the most efficient programme for undertaking
these works and minimises the potential for abortive works.
Entering into a Deed of Variation and
incorporating a new sectional completion for the hub works,
formalises the completion date for the hub works in the contract.
The reduction in the Liquidated Damages holiday provides greater
certainty on the 31 October practical completion date.
